Back from the gym after a tiny bit of shopping in town then had lunch whilst discussing with OH whether I need to buy a heated propagator or not. We both decided I could do without so I'll be giving this year's seeds the slow-pro treatment no guarantees though
After that, I decided to get my a*** in gear and pot up all my bags of bulbs and tubers which comprised 20 Liatris to add to my clump I have already plus the five Chocolate Cosmos (first time I've ever grown these). I had to bring the bag of soil indoors as the weather was quite turbulent outside and I don't have a greenhouse...yet. That option is agreed upon, it's just a question of when, need to landscape the bottom area first and I'm not in any hurry, besides, the one I want is rather expensive and I'd feel better if it was a combined birthday/Christmas pressie or something like that.
So, dining room table it is for now, all the pots washed and bags emptied although I'll do seeds tomorrow, I'm pooped now
Well done punkdoc for deals done on cars, Dove for spreading her luv, Yvie for wearing out the granddaughter, Clarington for managing to find a day off, (and posting super cute pics of Reggie) and everyone else for...for...for...for ...for contributing to this forum I love hearing about everyone's day
Bekkie - shame about your greenhouse and hope you can find a way for it to stay put. You're right I can't avoid all the bad weather on the way up but will take it easy and if needs must will stop for cake and coffee at every services
So it's not just me that brings bags of compost and pots into the house. Reggie looks well settled Clari
Lesley I bring bags of compost in and sow seeds inside when early in the year
I have just ordered sunflower collection from Sarah raven for just p+p of 2.50 from offer in Garden news mag and got free sunflower seeds this week with mag too
Gosh, too much to comment on everything on here tonight!
Am shattered, George decided he wanted to walk today (dosent have his lead any more) walked all the way up to the big field and back, that should take 30 min....nope it was hours, the return journey was a mission and involved bribary! by the time we got home i was frozen, then had to pick up some stuff from doc for OH, so just had a shower, might be off to be if thats not pathetic! . Soooooo happy to see him walking tho, had all but given up!
Doc says " there's nothing floating about in there. I'll sign you off until March 17th but I'd like you to see the physiotherapist who might refer you to the Ortho consultant"
Called physio and she told me I was " a priority case" and she could give me an appointment on the 4th....... of April!!!!
Finally got to see the Doctor this evening. Had an appointment but still had to wait as he'd been called out for an emergency. He'd worked an 11 hour day. Anyway I have bronchitis and sinusitis as secondary infections from the original cold and OH has bronchitis. Now have a bag full of medicines, including antibiotics and corticosteroids.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning all, Not much sleep last night, gave up at 4.00 and came downstairs to watch TV. Suppose I'll be shattered today especially with Nanna duty, just hope little one is in a good mood.
Hope all you salt miners have a good day and that poorly peeps feel better.

Hi everyone
Back from the gym after a tiny bit of shopping in town then had lunch whilst discussing with OH whether I need to buy a heated propagator or not. We both decided I could do without so I'll be giving this year's seeds the slow-pro treatment
no guarantees though

welcome back to " knee watch"
Doc says " there's nothing floating about in there. I'll sign you off until March 17th but I'd like you to see the physiotherapist who might refer you to the Ortho consultant"

Glad I'm a priority case.
Called back to Doc to see what she advises now.
Might pay to see consultant privately.
Finally got to see the Doctor this evening. Had an appointment but still had to wait as he'd been called out for an emergency. He'd worked an 11 hour day.

Hosta, hope you're not in too much pain. Could you ask to get seen if there's a cancellation, waiting till the 4th April
Busy Liz, so sorry to hear you and OH are so poorly. Very best wishes, hope you feel better soon. Big hugs x
Morning forkers
Gosh it was very quiet last night on forum. We are either all worn out from the excitement of spring or too ill to lift a finger.
Get well soon BL
and other unwellions such as Dove, Hosta and recuperating Matty. Your gardens need you
Clear today the same as yesterday but there was a flippen cold wind yesterday
