Good morning all Snuffle Snuffle Cough!!! I hope you're feeling better BL ((hugs)) how long did it take for your lurgy to degenerate into the 'flu??? I must pop down to the village this morning - son is threatening to visit tomorrow (he's had the lurgy so that's ok) and I've promised a cottage pie - but all the suitable dishes are either in the freezer or out on loan - somewhere
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I do feel for you Dove and BL, hope the lurgy goes soon
Erm, exactly how blowy was it yesterday? I may have nodded off for most of yesterday afternoon, but when i woke up, the greehouse was flattened (no suppries there!), the screening has come down and even the chap over the roads drain pipe had come off! Its bright sunshine now!
Clari, good to hear you are well enough for your to do list! and that you have a day off
Sorry about your weather Fritt, think we all have a dose of foul weather to come over the next few days! How about salt dough to keep the kids occupied?
Lesley, hows the weather looking for the journey home? I suppose you have to travel so far, you cant really avoid it!
Fidget, go for it with the doughnut, you were up very early, you will need the sugar
Chicky, i wonder if the first cup is the best because its usually still quiet, theres no "have you seen my socks" etc!
Enjoy the gym Winter
Sent a conplaint about that greenhouse, not sure if theres any point trying to put it back up, might have a think on how i can make it sturdier
Another day car searching, and haggling for a deal, not something I enjoy, so I have decided to look at any money off I can negotiate, as a plant fund.
After that maybe some more seed sowing.
Have a good day everyone.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
I've also got to go to the shops well at least I'm not going to the salt mine. Quotes for insurance to sort out and some phone calls to make this afternoon.
Glad you're getting the Under Gardener trained up Hostafan - you can be on coffee making duty
Fingers crossed they find a way to sort your knee out. I wish I'd lobbied harder to get something done about mine - I was a student and sort of between doctors at the time, and then they discovered I'd another health issue and my knee got forgotten as the pain had subsided - but sometimes even now, nearly 20 years on, when I turn suddenly my knee just gives way beneath me and I find myself on the floor! They say they can't see anything wrong with it, but my guess is that if I was an expensive footballer they'd find a way of sorting it - but I'm not, and that's probably a blessing

Been out in the greenhouse and put some last rose cuttings in to root. The hubby and father in law are braving the hailstones under a pop up gazebo putting up my new above ground pond. Going into my stables soon to bag up some manure. Miserable day here very cold. Greenhouse heater is going full blast dreading the electric bill!
I'll make the point that when I'm working, I'm driving / lifting and when I'm not working, I'm gardening, so lots of kneeling / lifting / digging etc. then suggest if it "gets better" it'll only go again in the future so maybe cut to the chase and save time , effort, pain and long term cost to NHS by sorting it now.
My own GP (she's wonderful ) has been on leave , so I've not actually spoken to her about it, but she's back now and she's calling me " around 3.30pm" to discuss Xray results

Good morning 4C and sun here, quite breezy.
I've also got to go to the shops

Hope poorly peeps are getting better.
morning all.
Get well soon all those who, like us , having colds. ( way too many to mention)
Waiting for Doc to call later to discuss results of Friday's Xray.
OH has offered to help today , so might make the most of it and get new raised beds set into place in polytunnel.
Mixture of sun and hail storms here , but very windy.

Bekkie, thanks very much for the idea of salt dough, will have a go with it this afternoon.
Dove, that's kinda how I plan to approach it.
