Another wet day up here! Will it never end? You southerners dont know how miserable it gets, but then drought & dying crops/plants doesnt appeal either.
Had a brilliant nights' sleep & wide awake straight away- most unusual for me!- so took my 'nasty' tablet. You cant eat nor drink for at least 30mins+ afterwards, which completely throws me out!
Anyway, all organised this morning. Mechanic picked up my car, washing machine & tumbler on. TV also on very quietly so I can finally tackle the last lot of holiday ironing. Daughter says not a problem- she actually slept through the window cleaner & next doors' workmen yesterday! J.
Some years ago I employed a company to lay some block- paving for me. Whilst using one of those machines close to my enormous front window, it shattered.
David you are correct, I have learnt a new word for the day I am now worried about my windows.
Jo it is an interesting point you make, I like the dryness of the east as it does make leaving the house easier but if I had a choice of locations I would go further south west. I would just have to learn about different plants.
Ironically Kate I cant grow moisture loving plants due to the surrounding trees taking all the water from the soil. Have been thinking about doing a bog garden- using compost bags beneath the soil- sometime in the future. No enthusiasm nor energy for that at the mo.
Sympathies re the WP noise & vibration. When they were pile driving for the new houses well away from us we could certainly feel & hear it! Noticed that in Austria nobody started any building works until 7am. IME no British ones start before 9am, unless you are doing that house building near us that is! J.
Everyone round near us seems to be doing building work too. Instead of moving they are adding rooms, having new roofs, drives etc.I dread to think what monstrosities will be going up now the building regulations have been relaxed.
The car had it's M.O.T yesterday, needed a new battery, so more expense.
On a brighter note OH and mates won their domino match so smiley faces today thanks goodness.
A bit warmer here this morning, raining nicely. Just what we need in the east.

Morning forkers.
Lovely and sunny here, warming up now too. Busy day today - just errands and stuff. Hope all is well in your worlds.
Sunny day here but they are using some sort of machine to flatten the ground for the patio and my teeth are rattling.
Jean I saw that comment and there was no rudeness in your reply.
But if you are offering pie can I have an apple one?
Glyn you have some talented students.

Will have another go.
It's called a 'Whacker Packer', Kate.....honest!

Good morning everyone.

I have no knowledge of any acid soil plants as I cannot be bothered to go to all the faff of buying ericaceous compost.
Next doors builders are working from 8am till 6pm, which means they should finish faster, I hope.
I wouldn't worry too much about your windows, Kate....when mine shattered they were using this tool right up to the house wall, below the window.
