Counting the sleeps now then, do you cross them off the calendar with Jess, like an advent calendar? I'm back in work on the 10th, then it's only a week till the start of term and here we go again, another academic year. Comes around too fast!
You'd have been proud of me yesterday, Becks, playing A sailor went to sea, sea, sea with 5 yr old sister of the toast eater
I'm off now,John has beaten the baddies again and I'm going to try to read a couple of pages of my book before falling asleep. As Geoff would say, night peeps .... What are peeps?
Good morning all . Horrible day here, I've had to put the light on . Rain woke me up through the night so woken up all groggy and techy. Never mind - after several cups of coffee I'm sure I'll come around. The grass won't be getting cut and had a few jobs in the garden to do so hope it brightens up later.
Has anyone seen any blackbirds ? Been watching the birds - just the usual suspects, great tits, blue tits, sparrows etc and been trying to think of the last time I saw any. It's been ages which is unusual .
There are plenty of blackbirds here, with young ones, though the number of small birds on the feeders is certainly fewer than it has been. I'm thinking that there's a lot of native food about right now, like blackberries and flower seeds. Tasted the first blackberries myself yesterday.
Watched Gardeners World last night. I was stuck by the feature about Monty digging up that lawn - it looked like hard work. Hasn't he got anything better to do. Big contrast between Monty working so hard, while doggy looked on, almost asleep - dog seemed to exhibit far more intelligent behaviour.
Couldn't understand the feature on slugs. I was looking forward to that. Monty waived a great sheaf of letters and suggestions that had been sent in - but we didn't find out what they all were. Monty didn't even explain how he keeps that part of his garden 'slug-free'. Does he do the nighttime trip with torch. I was disappointed not to see that.
Flowerpot Gang is mentioned on Google News this morning. There's an article about the program in this week's Horticulture Week. I can't read the details, as the full text is subscription-only, but the teaser looks bad. There were reviews in some of the ordinary papers earlier, most criticised the program not simply as a very poor gardening program, but as very poor television - the formula was too predicatble, and not interesting, to anyone, it seems.
Feature on Sky News this morning about soaring vegetable prices, because of the poor weather.
Good Morning We have Blackbirds Jean Weather can't make its mind up whether to rain or not so I might be in the garden or I might have to do the ironing

Ha ha ha. Glyn. I don't even want to go, but Jess is excited. When she see's a plane, she asks if it's the one we're going on!
