Got another cold and feeling rotten. Did more christmas shopping yesterday so its all nearly done. We had a new Asda open in Worthing on monday the queue was an hour long to get in the carpark then you had to wait another hour to get in the shop. You had to wait for people to come out before you could go in. Im waiting for the novelty to wear off before i go to see what its all about.
Does anyone watch Dog the Bounty Hunter on pick? its so bad its good. I just love it.
Flo can your parrot see the birds outside? I wondered how he reacted to them.
I want to finish clearing up ouside but raining now. The cosmos is looking tatty. Still got begonias and dahlias flowering. I leave the dahlias out and cover with bracken and have been lucky so far.
Went with my daughter and grandchildren to see Skyfall. I'm more of a Downton type of person and not really into action films but thought this was fantastic. Films that are really hyped up are sometimes disappointing but really enjoyed this one.
My grandchildren really appreciated your stressed out Santa joke, Geoff.
Rhubarb just arrived I guess needs to be planted immediately. One root is a lot bigger than other and splitting the pack with a neighbour - we are all making new gardens here - now do I give her the big one or the smaller one?? Hope it will be ok in garage till tomorrow when I should be allowed out.
i keep thinking i got my begonias in far too early, will leave them out till October next year
Maud, see that's what happens when you go Christmas shopping! Keep warm and drink hot blackcurrant. I agree, wait for the fuss to die down about Asda. Its only a supermarket.
Seems like there was fun and games on here last night. I used to love watching the Waltons - and Little House on the Prairie - used to rush home from school on a Thursday for that one.
Flo - chiropractor sounds painful!
Bjay, go swimming but take it easy. Being in the water is probably beneficial.
I've got some cosmos which is self sown (as its in my herb bed!) which is only just coming into flower! It might get a chance if we don't have any frosts for a little while. And the other large one in the front border is still going strong, although it has fallen over and needs to be propped up.
Garage just phoned. We have a 2 year old car, just about 12000 on the clock yet they say one of front tyre treads is very low and tyre needs replacing. Seems odd but we now nothing about cars. He said something must cause the excessive wear on that side! OH says it's me Ha Ha. Any one out there know what could cause the wear?
Tracking out? if front wheel drive. Garage should check that if they've noticed uneven tread wear. Are there lots of unavoidable pot holes around? Very common in a certain make of car IME. Not been at correct tyre pressure? is another thought.
BTW if car front wheel drive & it's a front tyre 'gone' ,once the cause has been established, I'd have 2 new tyres fitted, or use the spare for the 2cnd & keep the remaining better front tyre as the spare. That way you have equal tread on the driving tyres coming up to winter. J.

Where is everybody?
Slept in till 7.15 this morning-that will never do-have completed all usual tasks-I might go and empty more containers-they have had it
Morning all. Just off to chiropractor to get neck clunked.
No birds spotted on the gibbet yet, though I have yet to see what the hens make of it.
Bjay present.
What a laugh last night
I hope you all have proper clothes on now and your bazooka's are safely away
Last day of confinement today - Hooray, but wondering if I should go swiming tomorrow.

Get better soon Maud.

The sun keeps popping out- great, but so wet underfoot. Sweeping leaves, forget it, plus windy too.
Germinated sweetpeas, not many, are now in a coldframe & am having a banana break before going out again.
I've still got cosmos flowering here, bit tatty, but not yet over by any means.
Bjay- if no chnace to get the rhubarb crowns into ground yet, big pots ok for now. Then when you're able they can get put in their new place later on.
Which keep- hmm, depends on the state of the crown. You could always split the bigger one & then have more..... J.
