I've already had my treat for today- a pudding at the pub- but there is still cake here.....
No plans for digging/moving herbaceous tomorrow. Shall be wrapping my big, & liitle, pots of Agapathus. They are already in the big coldframe, which is just open at the mo, to allow them to dry out a bit & me to crush any little snails that appear! So need to remove the smaller ones so that I can step into the frame to wrap the 2 biggest. Suspect that carrying them into there was the cause of the latest back problems, but didnt notice anything until the next day!
Then shall probably sow a couple of sweetpea pots & wrap the nerine pot. That's in full flower now on the greenhouse staging, but shall pop it into the coldframe when it's finished. Shant clean out the greenhouse until it's empty- can do anytime over the winter this yr. Do need to do some borde sorting, but unless my back being well behaved that will be left until I can safely do it.
Daughter just reminded me earlier that she's back on nights next week, so must hoover this week sometime friday maybe? as no chance next week when she's sleeping.
BTW I know am the ironing queen around here, according to Geoff, but I do NOT do underware nor socks nor bedding except pillow slips! OH just hangs his shirts straight out of the tumbler when he's done them at his little house (rented near to his work) & I havent the heart, nor inclination to redo them for him when I go over to stay! Heaven knows what his workmates think!!
He's thrilled tonight as he saw a kingfisher at the side of the canal he walks along on his way home. But as he's says only another week of doing that in the evenings as it's already almost dark by the time he gets back & he doesnt feel safe along the unlit bank path.
Drat, the pc needs an update that I'd delayed earlier. Night all. J.
writing assignments for sports marketers, any suggestions?
Not exactly sure what that is, but it sounds huge and interesting. Red Bull comes to mind. Red Bull began as a simple drinks company but has evolved, so the Brand itself is now more important than the drink. They're connected with lots of high profile sports. They're Formula F1 champions. It takes a lot of cash and expertise to do that. Jumping out of space capsules, is really just an extreme sport, generating worldwide awareness of the brand. These are all the things they do:
A different kind of example is everything connected with the Olympics, from putting together the bid, making the animated film, selling tickets, merchandising, scheduling the events, and even creating their own TV company to provide world-wide live coverage of everything. That TV material is still copyright and will generate income for years to come. And much of that expertise will used again at Rio.
And you get big hotels and leisure chains marketing sports as parts of holiday packages. And there's also the problem of how do local sports clubs advertise themselves, perhaps just by getting reports in local papers, but they could do a lot better than that.
Back on earth, it seems that the weather here is going to be mild for at least the next week, so movement of any plants into the greenhouse, or indoors will now be put on hold.
All the water seems to have gone -there is a bit of blue sky and the washing machine is on.
Pam-it does take a bit of catching up to do-it is like a ramble down a country lane that includes a walk on the motorway in a foreign country- you have no idea where it will end up but it has been fun finding out.

a bugger to catch.
Haven't had a penguin for ages! Always reminds me of that programme, The Royle Family!

Good Morning Everyone
I can't keep up
I hope everyone is well and have a lovely day
I am hoping to plant the rest of the Pansies , Primroses and Tulips into some containers now that I have more compost

Great minds thnk alike, the students have just done the analysis if the Olympics in class. Sounds like you need to come in to do a guest lecture!
Hello peeps
All the water seems to have gone -there is a bit of blue sky and the washing machine is on.
Pam-it does take a bit of catching up to do-it is like a ramble down a country lane that includes a walk on the motorway in a foreign country- you have no idea where it will end up but it has been fun finding out.
Have come over all poetic
