Morning all. Sunny and warm here.... well there is no harm dreaming is there, I thought a bit of positive mental attitude might cheer me up.
Today I shall go shopping for more seed sowing paraphanelia [ spelling? ], again to help me get in the mood, and then some internet browsing for some must have plants. I am very tempted by Salvia amistad, but I doubt I will stop there.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
PS Lizzie - we bought a gizmo that plugs in the wall and extends the broadband signal to the parts of the house it didn't reach before (we got fed up of teenage girls perched on the stairs as it was the only place they could get connected) - i was sceptical, but it works wonders. So now i can watch tv and browse too. Useful when the footies on (which seems almost every night at the moment)
I have a gizmo in the wall in the kitchen. The box is in the study. This house is a huge old French farmhouse with thick stone walls. Bought it when 4 children were young and family from England came to stay, then I did B&B when children left home. Need another gizmo for sitting room, but man in computer shop said you could only have one.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I really need to get back on the 5:2 diet. I felt loads better but winter and moving has left me so drained at the best of times its hard to get motivated. Could never have drunk a cat of coffee though no matter what my diet was. The smell alone of coffee makes me gag so wet cat mixed in would be awful!
A lad trying to catch his train this morning decided he would run THROUGH my stationary car parked on the main road.
Needless to say it turns out foolish young men bounce quite well.
It also turns out (after he smeared himself across my boot trying to keep as tight to the racing line as possible despite there being no other car around) that
a) My car is amazingly filthy to the point that I should probably be a little ashamed
b) His lightly coloured clothing did not survive the incident without some very noticeable questionable stainage
Fluffy white stuff coming out of the sky. I have to go and help OH move two pallets of compost at mum's. 8sacks for me and pallets to make bug hotel. Porridge and home made blackcurrant jam first.( little beads of sunshine )
Oh dear! Shouldn't laugh! At least he didn't damage your car My friend used to have a 2CV which was badly dented by a whippet when parked in her garden.
It's a good job I'm retired - I've got so much to do! I've got quite a few things that must be done over the next few days, and now a filling's just come out
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Well you won't have to clean the back of your car now Clari,
Talking about 2CV, we went to Brittany looking for houses with the idea of movtng there one day. One farmer told us about the deux chevaux buried in the orchard. With our schoolgirl and boy French we thought he was talking about two dead horses but it was his old car.
On the same trip we were staying in a gite and we were feeding a stray dog that was hanging around. Two hunters turned up looking for their dog and our friend said ' We have ate your dog' instead of we have been feeding your dog.
Well must shake myself before the r***n comes down again.

Sorry Clari, but that did make me smile, bet he felt a right charlie.
Oh Dove hope you're not in pain.
House work this morning then off to meet a friend for lunch. Which reminds me Dove did your friend buy some nice fruit trees

Fidget white stuff
Dove, that's all you need. Hope the rest of your day goes a lot better.
No plans here for today. Did get supplies in yesterday should it snow Mum is well stocked. No shortage of finger biscuits or mini cheddars
Hi Kef, missed you there,
