Been doing telly catch-up-then decided must get dressed-there was a cold wind at 7.30 on the garden trek
Poor Becks and Jess-break out the medicine cabinet
Georg-you be careful out there
Glyn-resisted the urge to get up in the middle of the night-was it a grand sight-what are dissertation proposals-nothing to do with marriage I take it?
Am waiting for charity collection people to call-phoned them yesterday-there are 5 bags of clothes sitting in hall-way
Pam -that is good news about the camel-you can have another one now
Just a quick visit, I seem to have been sooooo busy, what with one thing or another, I haven't had time to drop in, so don't know what's been going on, far too may posts to catch up with. Hope all of you are keeping dry, it's been horrendous everywhere, sympathies go out to all the people flooded, it must be a nightmare to see all you house and things ruined.
We are going to go over to Brigg shortly. There's a very good GC there, hope to pick up a few more Christmas presents, and then have lunch.
Just been out to tip: bottles, cardboard (where does it come from) rotten hanging baskets, large bag of wood shavings from log cutting. Then to a low price shop for their horse manure mix (4 bags) and some more bonemeal.
If sun stays bright may plant couple of roses, but one will have to be heeled in and one planned to put in a chimney pot but just realised I forgot the John Innes N0 2, so will have to heel that one as well.
Then will do some more tidying as some plants seem very slow at dying back.
Cardboard is compressed paper and it comes from trees
I have a puzzle-what happens to nails that you cut-why are we not neck deep in nail cuttings if trillions of nails have been cut over the centuries-do they just disappear?
This is exactly the same speed at which the continents move, due to continental drift.
The distance from Southampton to New York is 5000 km. That's how long one person's nails would grow in 250M years.
Nails are made of the same stuff as the shells of some animals.
Where do they all go? Well they all end up as rocks like those at Beachy Head. The White Cliffs of Dover is just a huge pile of nail clippings, and other similar boney material.
Bjay if you want to serve them as new potatoes its best to leave them in soil.
I'm sure my nails grow faster than that - or is it just the amount of mud that accumulates under them makes it seem that way? I seem to manage it even with gloves on.
I'm feeling quite cold today, might have to resort to wearing my furry boots tomorrow.

Morning All,

Have a good day.

Morning all
Just been out to tip: bottles, cardboard (where does it come from) rotten hanging baskets, large bag of wood shavings from log cutting. Then to a low price shop for their horse manure mix (4 bags) and some more bonemeal.

Get well soon Becks and Jess
Thanks Bjay! Dare I ask how many bottles??
Morning Chris!
Hello Chris from me as well

These are important questions
Nails grow at the rate of 2 cm per year.
This is exactly the same speed at which the continents move, due to continental drift.
The distance from Southampton to New York is 5000 km. That's how long one person's nails would grow in 250M years.

2 crates full. We have to re-cycle ourselves NB coffee jars, soy sauce, bottles as well as the usual suspects
Just come in from tidying. Any one know if I leave my potatoes in their bag or dig them out?
Have you cut any haulms off yet?
Yep. Just done it as dying back.
