Evening all, so frazzled, just got done (ha ha) before dark, well today's agenda anyway.
Daffs, wallflowers and pansies planted along driveway edge, and a pile of weeding, got serious with some nettles.
Rose bed (reclaimed from bracken and overspill weeds from farmers field) is manured, edged, spring bulbs put in, lavender border moved from driveway and a trellis put up ready for the one climbing rose that got moved into there in the summer and has really taken off. Putting trellis thing up was like one of those silly games off The Krypton Factor, so not my cup of tea, but wouldn't be beaten.
Just need to tidy house again now before OH returns tomorrow, don't know how it got so messy, I've been in the garden all week - mud everywhere!
Garden Girl, love the flowers, would love to go to GC to stock up my now bare beds but OH says I have too many already, just need to get sorted and divide and spread around a bit.
I am off to French Bingo Saturday, that is going to be an experience. Good luck tonight 4th Panda, maybe you set some sharing rules up before you get started.

Hello All, DD seems you have been busy today, what do you shout when you get the winning number in France? Can't speak any french apart from counting and asking the time.
Hope the foot gets better soon GG.
I'm sitting here recovering from my deep tissue massage. Apparently I will feel great. At the moment I feel like I've been run over by a bus.
Hi all, been in about 20mins, I'm exhausted to say the least. But sister is in her new home. Most things unpacked and put away. Just a few boxes to do tomorrow.
Hope everyone has had a good day I'm so tired I'm off to bed.
OH has just got back from choir practice. I was getting worried, it's late. (hour ahead in France) But they are doing a concert this weekend.
Weeded the greengage bed and cut brambles out of shrubs. Did some watering.
I hope you enjoy the Bingo DD. In France Bingo is Loto. You shout "quine" for a line of numbers and "carton" for the whole card. The prizes are usually pretty good, but sometimes include livestock! My daughter once won a live chicken. They handed it to us by its feet and its legs were tied together very tightly with a piece of rope. We couldn't wait to get home and rescue it. It was afraid and hungry and grew up to be a fine cockerel who followed me everywhere. But it got jealous of my husband so he had to make it a run. French Loto doesn't usually finish until at least 12.30am. It's often organised by the PTA of the local school.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thank you for the heads up BL re Lotto, 12:30 is way past my usual bedtime, although tonight seem to have been struck by insomnia, apparently our top prize is a kitchen mixer and a whole ham. Hope no livestock, the duck house is still in the very early project stages ie. a drawing on OH's computer!
SGL - hope your sister is paying you in plants, you seem to have been extremely well utilised. My sister just about made it to the leaving party & nothing else.
Yvie deep tissue massage? Are you stuffed full of Kleenex, hope it feels better tomorrow, sometimes the worst treatments are the best (sometimes).
GG, watch this space, might be the answer for your foot.
Must go back to bed, got so much to do tomorrow and OH back, he won't be very impressed if I fall asleep 5 minutes after he gets home.

Hi everyone, not sure whether this counts as a late night or an early morning. Just waiting for the painkillers to kick in again. I cant believe that a woman as tiny as she was can inflict such pain with her hands, no wonder she said to take it easy and not to book another appointment until next week. Busy would have loved to have seen your face when they handed that chicken over. Off for a quick look round and then hopefully back to sleep.
Morning all. Boss is off today - poor devil caught my cold! Hoping he recovers soon I need his help with my many many projects. I have a day off on Sunday AND Monday! Two days off is like a mini holiday! Shame I wont be finishing work til 03:00 on Sunday morning though. Hoping the weather is going to be good my poor garden is so neglected

Good morning all from the sunny Suffolk coast. Coffee is being brewed before we set off for an auction.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning all
Have fun today and rest if you need to
