Hello, all Forkers--you have been busy, typing and wrestling with pyracantha. It was a lovely sunny day here--but I got called in to school--didn't want to go ,but they were desperate enough to call 3x---so I gave in. Hate to miss the rare sunny day in the garden---but if I turn them down too often, they will stop calling. They wanted me again on Thurs., but on another island--definite no to that one, as it means a 12-hour day with the travelling. I prefer my 5 minute commute.
So back to retirement it is! I have dumped all my old seeds into a prepared bed, so we'll see what comes up!
Morning Big problems with tinternet yesterday . Had to get OH to sort laptop when he came home. Very slow and wouldn't let me sign on. Turns out I'd put too much anti-virus stuff on here and something called a Hot Shield wouldn't let anything past it including AOL. He also had a fiddle with it and removed some programmes and then told me off for downloading too much stuff. Was a bit worried it could have been that horse thing but he said anti-virus had seen it off.
Anyway. It's sorted now.
Its freezing here. I'm joining Jo's boiler club. Flipping thing sprang into life at 3.30am and woke me up so didn't have a good nights sleep.
More coffee needed and maybe a slice of toast.
Hope poorly forkers are feeling better today. My cold is on it's way out now so can actually taste what I'm eating.
A tablet is not designed for typing. If anyone wants to do some typing (for example in order to use social media, like here) then you can buy a keyboard, for around £6 (lots of sizes and prices)...
I'm a recent convert to on-line shopping, using Tesco. I opted for morning slots. I think that Tesco will actually carry all the stuff into your house, wherever you want it, and leave the trays for you to unpack at your leisure.
After 3 weeks they asked me to complete a survey, asking what I thought about all the apsects of their service, and their website. I've been very satisfied.
Found Aggie chook dead on hen house floor this morning Not sure why but she's recently had the wheezles for which she was treated and I know birds go down fast with respiratory ailments. Just Maggie left now. I think she'll be a bit lost being a flock of one.
Lottie, what a pain! and after Becks's hassles with Asda deliveries I'm definitely not going to try them. Never had a problem with Sainsbury or Tesco which I have alternated for several years now.
Sorry to hear about Aggie ,lovely bum though on the avatar pic. Will you get some more chickens ?
Asda online used to be good, but we got a few wrong deliveries , have never had a problem with tesco and sainsburys delivering here too now but have not tried them.
I tend not to type that much on iPad use other pc or laptop work business .
Sunny here but some black clouds around , have cleaned front door and gr floor windows, done some ironing , hoovered and set fire , just waiting for OH and dog to return then will have dippy eggs and soldiers .
Not sure rest of plans, GC or gardening (weather permitting) .
You've been a busy bunny this morning. I see to chooks and dogs then linger over breakfast before doing anything else! I will eventually get more hens but as Aggie and Maggie had developed an egg-eating habit I thought they would teach that to new birds. When the wretched pyracantha is dug out and the chicken ranch is resited I'll have a think. I'm missing my lovely fresh free range eggs.
Sun is thinking about shining but reluctant to commit itself.
Morning all. No saltmines today. What a surprise - weather taken a turn for the worse. Sunny last few days. Now wet grey miserable! ! Sorry to hear about chuck!! Would really like some of my own but area/garden not really siutable.
Poor Maggie. Are you going to get her another friend?
I need shopping so I am going to go to Aldi. Might be some garden stuff there, coldframe perhaps. (Will of course avoid the horse section)
I too had issues with my computer yesterday! Must be gremlins stuck in the works.

New avatar in honour of deceased chook. It's Aggie's lovely fluffy bottom

Children having a lie in and all quiet
Sorry to hear about Aggie!
After the glorious weather it now looks rather gloomy today. Should have done the garden first but couldn't ignore the indoor jobs ny longer.
Off to garden centre today though I think.
Enjoy the day, everyone!
Morning Bunny.
