Slept late this morning. I don't know why that happened, because I wasn't late to bed.
Fed the birds first. It didn't seem cold outside, and might be a decent morning ahead.
In the papers - there's an article in today's Mail about pothole gardening. It's a form of guerilla gardening, making use of potholes in roads and pavements. At first I thought the idea was silly. Surely the plants would get run over and squashed.
But planting in crevices does make a lot of sense and softens the landscape. Probably makes pavements safer too.
Morning everyone Haven't logged in all over weekend. Had a busy weekend at daughters and started Christmas shopping . Also had a big cook-in as freezer supplies were running a bit low.
Hope Inka is alright and the storm doesn't cause too much damage .
Maud and Bjay , hope you are feeling a bit better today.
Jo, hope today you are feeling a little stronger. How long before the effects of the treatment wear off a little ?
Georg, that is a really good idea . There is a little lane near us that would keeep that guy busy for months Every year they fill a few more holes in but can't understand why they don't re-surface the entire road - suppose it's down to money.
Did anyone watch Crickley Hall last night ? Really enjoyed it.
Morning all. Busy day ahead so better get on with it. Already dropped son no. 2 at the station - he's off to do jury service. Something I have never done!
What cute little gardens! Love the little models he's put in with them.
Hope you're ok Inka, and still have power. At least you are prepared.
Inka, I do hope you have weathered the storm with minimal damage. Glyn, Sunday prep. is something I was very glad to retire from :- ) Love the pothole gardens, Gary. Good on him!
I too watched and enjoyed Crickley Hall - OH decided it's Crinkley Hall, just along the road from Noel Edmunds' Crinkley Bottom. Tom Ellis is one of my pin ups though I didn't realise he was in it so got a lovely surprise a bit like finding one of those pothole gardens :- D
Hope everyone who is not too well are feeling better and Inka is okay.
I like quirky things like the pothole gardener. We had a phase of phantom knitters in Cornwall. They wound their creations round lamposts etc, but i think the little gardens are nicer.
Horrible day today. Windy and raining. It's blowing all the leaves of the tulip tree which has been spectacular this year.
Got an appointment for a mammogram today,just routine, but will try and do some Christmas shopping while I'm in town.
This thread is turning into tales from the sick -bed
If you want to see something quirky -you have to visit Crystal Palace-someone has bought a street toilet-the type that goes under the pavement and lives in it-not sure what street number it is- just wish it is number 1 or number 2
Saw what was left of the Crystal Palace as well yesterday-not a lot- and the huge transmitter and great views over the City
Was supposed to play golf this morning-forecast was a bit iffy -called it off last night and it has been dry ever since-will try for Wednesday instead
Didn't watch Crinkley Hall-got too much other stuff going on-Ella one of the favourites is out of XF and Helen got the maximum 12 stars and another 5 stars on her trials-yay
I always fancied Jury service -just so I could dish out justice or argue like Henry Fonda in that film
I saw that converted toilet on one of those property programmes. It made a cosy home but some of the original tiles in the gent's loos were still in place and the thick glass tiles that formed the ceiling were still there so they could see people in the street walking above their heads.
I've never been called for jury service but my SIL has three times. Must be my murky past
Hi Pam-it did he paid £20 for 15 well rooted privet bushes some bonemeal and that fungi stuff so we got them in-then I said some daffs would like nice along the inside front facing the house-lo and behold a bag of those appeared-so all planted, leaves swept up and bagged- but they are such gardening novices

Morning forkers.

Morning All
Did anyone else notice that the vivid purple tulips were I think crocus, How lovely to come across one.
Nose running especially when I bend down but headache seems to have gone thnak goodness. Just a light cold, not the cyber lurgy.
Jo I hope you get stronger, perhaps this course will show you ways of increasing your strength as well as coping with it all
Oh dear Inka. I can't imagine having no power for a long time, and those winds Ugh
Very dark here nut dry. Going to attempt to pull out last of annueal rudbeckia today from the front, then that will be ready for a re-style.
Good morning all,
Hope everyone who is not too well are feeling better and Inka is okay.

Hi Geoff,
Hope the hedge planting went well.
I saw that converted toilet on one of those property programmes. It made a cosy home but some of the original tiles in the gent's loos were still in place and the thick glass tiles that formed the ceiling were still there so they could see people in the street walking above their heads.

Morning lovelies!
Feeling the cold today, yet it's showing warmer than yesterday!
Had a lovely day playing with Jess yesterday.
Nothing much to report yet.
