I've done something I've never ever done before! I've bought 3 pairs of shoes at once!!! Well, Hotter were doing a deal where you got £40 off if you bought 3 pairs, and that meant the third pair I chose was free 'cos they'd already been reduced, and they're all so comfy and I've not bought a new pair of shoes for ages and ages..... I usually have such awful problems getting shoes that are comfy as my feet are so wide and I have very high insteps, but all three pairs are attractive and comfortable so ..... it had to be done!!! That'll probably be enough shoes for a couple of years! One pair of trainers (they'll post them 'cos they didn't have the colour I wanted), one pair of sandals for the summer, and one pair of heeled peep-toes, in case I need to dress up a bit
And I got a new nightie and some undies (some for Ma, some for me) and some line-caught cod fillet from the market for supper - we'll have that with a chorizo, butter beans and smokey paprika and tomatoey stewy sort of a thing
I changed my library books too and had a brunch of a ham & cheese toastie and a big mug of good coffee. Just as well I came home or I'd have spent out - the garage will phone me later this afternoon and I'll get a cab down to pick the car up.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good day, Dove sounds like she has with her shoe shopping. That is somethingI have never done either Dove and have been pondering in buying a new pair of shoes (the boys call trainers .....I would call pumps!,) for weeks because they are normally more than I would spend on clothes etc, Adidas and I want to try and be a bit trendier!!!!
Archie, that doesn't sound great, I hope things get better too.
Panda and Lily, I hope your days at work have been better and you have both kicked some a**
The sun is shining here but there is a cold wind blowing off the not so lovely Irish Sea which is making it very chilly!!!
GH looks very good with lots of post and trays of compost but no sign of life yet (it has only been 1/2 days!!).
Does anyone now at what temp is best for GH roof vents to be open? I have set it about 25-26c??
Some seeds in GH starting to pop through, after 2-3 weeks, it's still pretty cold for the others I think.
Have had a lovely day looking at gardens, including Sheffield's botanical gardens. Weather held off mostly and supplemented by a nice slice of lime drizzle cake and coffee.
Got half way through cutting the grass and the heavens opened. Oh well, cup of tea and hope it dries up soon.
There's a hairy bittercress-fest going on right round the outside of my boundary fence so I'll have to get the hoe out and sort it all out. Not too many weeds round the new hedging but it'll take a fair bit of time to tidy up and mulch.
Cake sounds good MrsG. Did you bring any extra for me?
Dove - those peep toe shoes will get in a helluva mess when you're doing the weeding...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I know Lily He text last night and had to be up early today as he was going up a huge glacier, sounds like he is having a fab time. Just off to watch the 'not so might at the moment 'pool' lose another game with my little man!! I've got my Geum Totally Tangerine now so it might bring us luck (but I'm not holding my breath!!!).

Good luck love. x
I see the kitchen spammers are trying a new tactic- trying to be 'our friends'. Brilliant
Rain, sun, rain, sun here too. Home for lunch so off for a quick look round before I go back.
Nice to see my adopted Dad back. Morning, well , afternoon Frank

Hi everyone.
Dove sounds like you had a retail therapy day, with bargins.
My day at work was better than last week. Will see how things go.
Hope everybody had an enjoyable day. Weather slightly better today but quite windy.
Panda hope your day went well.

Kef, hope you've put suncream on, don't want to get burnt
