Oh no! My father has flu at the moment; its been so bad he's stayed firmly tucked up in bed knocking back schnapps and trifle...
Actually that sounds bliss!
-2'C in the garden at the moment, I've got to venture out to Crystal Peaks in a while to collect a few essentials I've reserved as we've been given the green light to adopt a dog! We'll be contacted in a week or so with a list of potentials that they deem suitable and we'll be invited to visit the dogs.
Wont be anything happening in the garden for a while there's 5 inches of snow - even the pond has been trying to freeze despite the moving water. I need to rework a few plans to ensure its big dog friendly. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Morning Clari If your father's medication works I'll recommend it to the builder
As for the dog (lovely) if it's a labrador it'll want to go in the pond. If it's a terrier it'll dig your garden up. If it's a collie or a spaniel it'll bounce around all over your plants
Have fun
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Lilly - we've already decided it'll be a German Shepherd but as for which one... I'm already reminding OH we can only have ONE! He'd adopt the lot if he could.
We're already retiring many of our towels and hunting some nice new fluffy ones in preparation: I'm seeing now why the future inlaws have a chest of drawers by the back door dedicated to the dog!
Now dropped to -2.5'C. Brr! Take that bugs and slugs!
Clari you must be excited about getting your new friend. I love this frosty weather for dog walking because she comes back with clean paws so the washing machine doesn't fill up with muddy towels.
What a pity about your builder Dove.
Pleased to see that most have had a lovely time over Christmas. Our riotous day was Boxing Day when sil and her family visited. Have not laughed so much for ages and we are having a repeat at her house on Saturday. After that the diet starts.

Good morning, it's cold here
don't think it is as bad as yesterday will check when it's light and I feed the birds.
Today is SM shop for mum, too cold to be taking her along, and then a visit by bro & SIL. so more food to be eaten
Hope everyone stays nice and warm.
Good morning KEF
Today had been planned for the start of work in our house - replastering and redecorating - but the builder has flu

Morning, bitterly cold and freezing fog, everything is frozen solid. Don't give much hope to my greenhouse
Dove, sorry to hear about builders, so frustrating
Clari we have found it pointless to try and keep dogs out of ponds, the just can't help it
suggest a ready supply of old towels handy
Very exciting, how on earth will you choose?

German Shepherd so possibly all of the above Dove! The pond was installed to be able to withstand swimmers so that's all good.

Saw your other thread Clari and have put a suggestion on that
now it's getting light can see we have dense freezing fog. Think I will be staying in today, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
my wee birds are hiding too, no sign if anyone this morning
