Morning Bunny and Gary I'm up (just ) , Another cold one and heating woke me up at 4.30. am.
No jock-box, Gary?
No plans for today but think I'll sow some coleus. Got some from Wilkos . Never tried them before so hoping for best. Need to do a little research but think they could possibly make some nice gap filling material.
Hoping someone on here will let me know. I think Pam (LL) has grown them.
Shopping as well today . Hope I can bag some bargains like Liz did.
Good Morning everyone. -2 sunny day weather man say its to stay dry and temp to rise to a balmy 5 more frost tonight, I'm off to Dublin today to get my happy pills so I will see you in the afternoon
Morning all. Balmy 1 degree here. Bright and sunny. Unlike me. Been up half night with painful tingling hand. One of those feelings you cant ignore. Taking painkillers and using cozy cat made no difference! Appointment for doctors tomorrow. Not good with new job to start Monday!
I grew coleus when I was a child encouraged by Granny. Great fun and there's some lovely colours and patterns nowadays. I might join you they strike well from cuttings too.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
The day looks hopeful. Sun is out already. Hopefully I'll get a call to say my car is ready. May even venture out to dig a few more veg beds. But, one step at a time. Coffee.
Beautiful day, got up, when I checked thermostat in hallway it was reading 12.5!!! Glad of the fan heaters for the bedrooms, boiler should be fixed today. Sun is out and lovely, thinking I might get some things done today.
My 6 month old kettle has decided to start leaking, not a cheap one either, just got through on phone and will be getting a replacement, so it's all good.
Hope everyone else enjoys their day and is productive.
Sorry Glyn and Dove and everyone else - didn't say good morning
Dove, are they fairly easy to germinate? I've never grown coleus before but do agree that there are some lovely colours and patterns. Well, according to the picture on the seed packet.
Ben, I never have much luck with kettles. Mine always leak after the same sort of time scale. Mind you , we are great tea drinkers in this house - they do tend to take a hammering.
Off to shops now. If you're around, Bjay, I'll see what seed disks H/B have in.
Grey but no frost. -2°. Put horses rugs on last night. They were, except Hannah (my retired one) all plastered with dried on mud from rolling. Took ages grooming, nose full of mud, ugh! I have 2 my retired one and my rideable one (Lena). My daughter has 2, her retired one (25) and Hannah's daughter, Radia. Where we live there is so much space and keeping a horse isn't the expensive luxury that it is in England. My dog costs as much as 2 horses to feed. A friend (trained) trims their feet. Only Lena is shod. So it's as though I have 3 dogs! But they aren't allowed indoors!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Spent last night catching up on TV missed either on DVD or iplayer
Bright sunny enticing sort of day but OH says it's not warm at all so will have to see. Was lying in bed this morning thinking about constructing my new raised bed, taking photos of each stage then when YET more questions come up on the forum I can just post the photos as yet again same questions are coming up Might not though
Still not sleeping that well, worried about daugter since her visit and her heart to heart, Still that's a mothers perogative
My kettle which is very nice, good make and bright red doesn't switch off any more
Sue hand doesn't sound good. Is that the one you injured?
