Just had a quick lurk and catch up Congrats Sue on the granny front - prefer nanny myself even though it does make me sound like an old goat.
Hi Pam Wondered where you've been .
Had enough of hanging round waiting for trellis so I'm off for a bath. You just know what's going to happen next. I'll be caught out looking like the wild woman of Borneo
My book has arrived from Amazon, well pleased with it.1p plus £2.85 postage not bad for a book original price £19.99 - in good condition. Ex library book. You can sometimes pick up a bargain at the library when they are having a clear out.
I thought i saw the odd flake of snow when i popped out side a few moments ago, it's old enough. Fed up with this winter, don't want to play this game any more
Going out to get some pea gravel from Wickes, much cheaper than GC, them to t to see if they have any bargains.
It seemed pretty Arctic out there just now and we have no wind yet. I wished I'd worn a hat and put a coat on Lily, the old dog.
The rat man said it will take a few days for the poison to start taking effect and it's quite slow-acting. My worry is now that if they die outdoors - which he said is likely - then Maisie the constantly-hungry dog will eat one and end up being ill or worse. She's only 6kg so it wouldn't take a lot
When we had poison put down by Rat Man, we never saw any dead rats, or live ones for that matter after he had been Hope you soon get rid of them, horrible things
Done some food shopping this morning - my sister is still poorly with the virus thingy- cough,cough,cough is wearing her out so she won,t be shopping tomorrow - I will get some of it for her.
Went for some more compost and also bought 4 pots of Verbena bonariensis
I was going in the greenhouse which does have the heater on but don't even feel like going down the garden at the moment
I use mainly pots and half trays for sowing seeds-depends on the size of the seeds and also how many I am sowing
The peppers,chillies and aubergine s I sowed a few days ago are germinating well
Flo , when the ratman put poison down here and next door , I was worried about our cats but he said it would be placed in a short cut off drain pipe . We didn't see any dead ones either.
Looks like I'll be out there with my thermals on at the weekend . Fed up with this cold weather.
Can we expect a food hoarding frenzy again then, Gary ?
I can't imagine a domesticated dog trying to eat a rat. Do terriers actually try to eat rats that they catch. Or is it more the fun of the chase that excites them.
The greater danger would be doggy finding the poison, which is why bait is hopefully well hidden and inaccessible.

And the weekend weather Geoff ?
Sorry Jean
No sign of and end to this cold snap-expect the winds to kick in- more cloud perhaps snow flurries-not out door weather
Orange balls Southampton
Sky News' review of the papers mentioned the front page headline in this morning's Express...

It could only be the Express.

No food shortages or hoarding anticipated.
