Dove you can have my grass - it's a bit of a mix but I'm sure you or OH will be able to cut it before May.
Jo, you're having a rotten time. Really hope you don't get any power cuts before the gas fire is up and running, It really doesn't matter who fell out with who! You've got rights!
Fairy I'm looking forward to your 'different' tree? I picked up a few glitter sprayed stems in SM and thought I've got loads in the garden - I'm not paying £2.. Costs more for the spray paint
Guinea fowl are incredibly stupid Hosta - very small heads = very small brains - one of mine tried to get through a wire netting fence that she could have flown over easily - only 18" high - but no, she stuck her head through the wire and kept pushing
Another one chased a fox - it got so close to the vixen she could have turned round and pounced on it!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I feel really aggrieved that a soldier who had two legs and an arm blown off had to go to Australia and pay £90,000 to get prosthetic legs. I think that anyone in his position should get what it takes to give him some semblance of a reasonable life, without having to fork out for it himself.
Did I miss the grass thread? Only to be expected, it is Friday.
OH has been at Drax power station today. It took him two hours to get on site. Firstly health and safety took exception to his beard, in case he was required to do a job requiring breathing apparatus. Then they said he couldnt possibly work there as he has a nut allergy. This is because they burn biomass which might contain peanut waste. Err well firstly , be isn't doing a job requiring breathing apparatus. Second hes allergic to brazil nuts ,peanuts are not nuts, they're legumes. Eventually he got exceptions. He got a very odd look from security on the way out. How did you get in there with that beard? Well its a tossup between beard stays or no job. Suit yourself.
I'm bracing myself for another day of heat. Today prediction is for 37c and tomorrow 38c before a (maybe) cool change on Sunday night with 27c Monday. Yippee! The water tanks need filling again for the garden watering. I've lined up good old reliable Hubby to turn the bore on when he gets back from his weekly trip to the tip. My trouble is that the bore pump is down the hill and while I don't mind going down to do that, I'm not keen on the return trip up the hill. I managed to hang one load of washing on the line, but hope the second load finishes soon so that I can get the clothes hung out and then I'll be inside. i don't imagine that I'll be taking them off again until about 8pm tonight.

had a call from nfu insurance earlier. They won't cover us because of the risk of drowning in the lake.
I said
" a child could drown in a garden pond 6 inches deep , or in a swimming pool. Don't you cover anyone with those either?"
I could run several ponies, a suckler herd and a small flock of sheep on there Hosta, not to mention a few geese and some guinea fowl

Not so much a different tree as a different quantity Lesley
Dove - the grass was of such a high quality and at a big discount, that Hosta was just going to replace all of his
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
we had a farm near us when Iwas young. They had guinea fowl. I'm still frightened of them
They ran wild in Goa
