Morning all, woke up early, which is amazing as I was reading a good book until late into the night. Feeling tired still, so made the tea and came back to bed. Will probably fall asleep over my book for another. Thank goodness I am working at home this week rather than being tied to my timetable. More marking today and prep for teaching.
Lovely house/garden photos. OH spends lots of time trawling the internet for houses in North Wales for us, would like to retire there, but will need to wait for a lottery win for that!
Morning Forkers, Lovely photos Just had a catch up. This thread was a hive of activity yesterday.
Hope your Grandad is improving Lottie.
Spent some time reading yesterday and then decided to go visiting Felt a bit restless yesterday . Had a lot of company over the Christmas period so that will probally be the reason.
Weather really mild here today Have back door and window open. Very odd.
Investigated garden but ground still boggy. Still not much to report out there except for a few primroses but most of the bulbs are up.
Lovely pics everyone. Glyn, my OH keeps dooing things like that too.
Heard a woodpigeon/collard dove, latter not been seen around here for a while so not sure, but whatever, at 3.10am! Daughter just said when she went to 24hr tesco last week, after 2am finish, that there were loads of blackbirds singing & all over the carpark. There are lots of trees/shrubs/surrounding gardens nearby though.
I am surrounded by decoration boxes. Problem with daughter not using many on the tree, I've no idea from which box they came- so need the lot to try & sort. Job for today then will rearrange the furniture & hoover.
I'm a bit late this morning, as I stopped to have a wander round after feeding the birds. I can hardly say Spring is in the air, on Jan 3rd, but it was mild, with lots of twittering going on.
I manged to do a few jobs yesterday - pulled up a barrow-full of weeds, and pruned some roses. So some more of the same today.
Funny sort of day- great excitement apparently -the Met Office are due to announce at 11 am that 2012 was the wettest year on record-not exactly earth-shattering history lesson-but cue plenty of reporters standing my rivers.
About to fire up the washing-machine-a man's work etc

Good morning Forkers,
I haven't a clue what day it is.
I took this photo across the garden two days ago. Didn't Noah see a rainbow and it was a sign that the floods were over? I hope so.
Your garden is amazing, Pam. When do you start preparing for this year's display?
Pam, WOW what a stunning garden full of wonderful flowers - well done!
Pottie, don't know about Noah but let's hope for those poor peeps affected that the floods are over.
My cottage. Roll on Summer.

Morning forkers,
How nice to see snaps of people's places.

Morning all. Flo reporting in for registration.
Wonderful to see people's lovely gardens, thank you for the pics. I'm afraid I have nothing to share as I have only wilderness and jungle.
Right, I must stop procrastinating and get going on some domestic chores. See you at tea-break!
Happy new Thursday
