Kate, I'm just off out to chat up the vet nurse and see if she would like him. Of course, if she'll take the two young dogs instead, I could keep Twinks ;- )
SCD - bring it on! It's the only 'reality' show I can bear to watch. I love Craig RH and can't wait to see how Darcey B's style as a judge develops.
Flo I am hoping that Darcey is a very technical judge, I always think that CRH would be a great dinner guest. Good luck with the nurse it would be good to know that Twinks has gone to a good home.
Im a strictly addict and very glad Darcy will be a judge. Anyone watch Paul O'grady last night? Find staying awake after 9 oclock rather hard so dont really watch anything too late i knoe i miss alot but then i would fall asleep and not know whats going on anyway. Really hoping i can stay awake long enough to watch Downton on Sunday.
I'm also worried about Becks. Perhaps she has found a Spanish waiter that she was warned about.
Not too much to do in the garden at the moment. Just keeping up with dead heading the cosmos and dahlias to keep them going as long as possible. I always plant lots of daffodils this time of year and then think this is taking for ever, why did I buy so many.A few years ago I bought a big sack full of 'White Lion' not really expecting much as it was late in the season and some of the bulbs were going a bit soft but they are a picture every spring. I'm a bit mean and don't like to spend a lot but have great succes with pound shop bulbs. Last year I bought some hyacinths from there. They were a lovely very dark maroon with a black stem so hopefully they'll appear again next year.
Sorry to ramble on about gardening. Enjoy your day all.
Hello folks sticking my Neb in again because I heard SCD mentioned, honest will not stay long but saw Lisa Riley in the line up which brought back a memory, do not write that girl off. At sixteen I went to the big boys dances with my new work mates having left school a month or so earlier. Being too young to go drinking with them (in fact slung out of the three local pubs for being too young) I went to the tea bar in the hall for a drink. The Lady behind the bar was a Lisa and she leaned over saying I will give you that tea and bun if you promise a dance, of course I said yes I mean free tea and bun! It had to be after she had closed and cleaned the bar so my mates now there and in full flow as they weighed up the girls saw me head off and get the lady up and shock surprise she danced like an angel. My mates made comment, you disappeared in there, was it warm and comfy or what the h### are you thinking of with all that talent out there. I told them I made a promise and fulfilled it. I got many free teas and cakes she was the Daughter of a local baker well used to being on her feet from dawn to dusk, hauling sacks of flour around but loved dancing although she had to work on the bar. Big girls can dance and it taught me never to judge.
Hello Nola - I'm also a chicken keeper and 3 of my hens I raised from eggs so I'm very proud of them. They're wellsummer crosses so lay lovely dark brown eggs.
I had a visit to the dentist this morning - just a check-up, no further treatment needed this time. Then I was a bit naughty and instead of coming straight to work went back home to water my pots first! Don't tell on me!
Becks may be having problems getting a connection - either that or she is having too much of a good time - to her surprise! Not sure she'd be interested in a waiter.
Pam, I bought hyacinth bulbs in Wilkos the other day - should I just plant them in the border or would they be better off in pots - am thinking maybe a pot on the front doorstep where its sheltered, or the front border? Both south facing.
If you don't like weepy films do not watch My Sister's Keeper. I watched it on a plane - and sobbed - so embarrassing! The film has a different ending to the book - but its not a happier ending.
Sorry about Twinks, Flo. She looks such a sweetie. I'm sure she'll soon find a home but a lot of shelters are innundated with unwanted pets at the moment.
I'm not much of a dancer but I loved what they called 'country dancing' at school. The Gay Gordons and Strip the Willow were my favourites as they were fast and furious.
Lottie the hyacinths will look lovely by your door. You can buy prepared bulbs now which have been chilled and they should flower by C*******s indoors. Over the years I've planted out indoor grown bulbs when they've finished flowering and the followering years they flower just after the daffs.

Pleasant day here, I am going to see if I can find somewhere for my new plant.
Pam good to see that you are still in contact, where is our postcard from Becks
Flo are you sure that you are not going to keep Twinks?
Did anyone watch The Bletchley Circle? There looks like there are some good contestants on SCD this year it should be very competitive.

I have had good results from cheap bulbs too.

Frank, once SCD gets going we'll be expecting comments from 'one who knows' :- ) What happened to the palais glide? Doesn't anyone do it any more?
Katre, vet nurse, like me, has a dog that is not used to cats so is reluctantly saying no. Am awaiting a call back from Cats Protection now.
How is that you go to the GC to buy a small bit for your hose, come away £20 worse off - and you haven't even bought a plant!!!
