Morning all. Late for me - was catching up with Salamander from last night. Don't think anyone here is watching it. It's very good.
Dull here and a bit damp looking - supposed to rain later. Will get some compost at GC as they had a good deal there when I was in yesterday with a friend. Got some dark sweet peas so I'll just sow them straight outside I think once I get compost into raised bed. No suitable creams or whites so I'll get them online. Louise, I presume you just want to get your sw. peas hardened off a bit before putting out? Sounds right to me - if they're too coddled and warm they just get leggy. Remember to pinch them out as well. David's sp thread will give you all the info you need
Edd - don't get me started on stupid people who go up hills inadequately dressed. Have seen so many of them
Dove - hope the ear's better soon. Don't delay getting the right treatment.
Hope everyone has a good day. Think I may have to do ironing later
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
All right you lot, nursing friend on foodie forum was firm with me so I've been to the Walk-in Clinic - got there at 8.55am - 25 people ahead of me!!!
Then had to go into the Mall and wait for Boots to open at 10.30 to get the prescription filled - Erythromycin 2 caps 4 times a day - think I should just be able to squeeze four doses in today if I don't go to bed too early
The nurse said I'd been a brave girl 'cos it looked really sore down inside my ear - I do have a high pain threshold - I suppose it might be why I've been having really horrid dreams the past few nights. Shall keep taking the paracetamol and yoghurt
When I got home OH had mowed one of the lawns, emptied the 'made' compost bin onto the veg patch and dug it in, turned the other compost into the empty bin, and dug up the really old straggly unsalvagable unscented rose that had been earmarked to be replaced. How's that for a well-trained under-gardener? He'd remembered all the tasks we'd been discussing over the past few weeks!
So now we'll have a coffee before we get on with the rest of the gardening over today and tomorrow!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It was definitely worth the misery Lizzie, had a fabulous evening with my friends
Am starting to feel better, I think the motion sickness has gone
Saw a beautiful peacock butterfly in the garden. OH couldn't get my camera in time for a photo. He was sitting on my crocuses (or croci?) and then flew off to the celandine

That's good Dove. At least we won't have to shout now for you to hear us.
I said AT LEAST WE WON'T HAVE TO SHOUT....

Lol fairy
Take it easy Dove, think you should rest with cups of tea and just supervise today. Enjoy the sunshine. Hope you feel btetter soon.
Just popped back whilst I eat a banana
seems a long time until evening meal.
Dove glad you've got some treatment.
Hi Fairy, Lizzie & Lily & all.
Panda, you naughty Panda wrecked on a gardening day
If I'd been back earlier I would have suggested you eat a snotty runny egg 
Anyone on here fancy a Vodka, or a Tequila ?
Bit early for me Kef, perhaps later
A Bloody Mary would be good KEF, but I've just googled my meds and it says that alcofrolicking may impact on it's efficacy
Someone else will have to have my share this week .........

Glad you've got your ear sorted, Dove.
Naughty Panda! Hope it wears off quickly and was worth the misery!
OH is having a go at mowing the grass. I must clear up rose prunings before he does that bit.
I'd rather have a white wine, thanks, KEF, but I think I'll wait 'til lunchtime.
It was definitely worth the misery Lizzie, had a fabulous evening with my friends
