  • Morning all. Am at work (and have been for a while) but not feeling great. Vague flu-like symptoms, various aches, etc. I hope I'm not coming down with something - have managed to avoid all the lurgies so far.

    Good news on Grandad, he's managed to eat and drink something and the hospital are talking about sending him home some time next week when he's stronger. He's a trooper! (And is lucky he doesn't live in Liverpool!)

    Geoff, those programmes like to focus on the negatives - wouldn't be a story otherwise. They know we like a bit of doom and gloom!

    I've recorded the Queen Vic's children programmes but not watched them yet.

    Becks, Jess will be a computer whizz kid by the age of 5!

    Morning image Late this morning. Catching up on some jobs around the house. Finding I'm spending far too much time on here. image

    It's another horrible oppressive day here and I'm feeling rather envious of Geoff today.

    Would love to just up sticks and go. My ideal place to live would be Ithica, one of the Greek islands. We've visited several times and it really is a magical place. The smell of the jasmine isn't helping either. Always reminds me of Greece.

    Speaking of which - look how it's flowering now. image

     In the meantime, I have to go shopping. How enthralling ! image

  • Lovely Jean, I am envious again!

    Hello, very grey here. My son gave me a torch he bought in a sports shop which is attached to an elastic headband so your hands are free.

    Lizzie, I have one of those. Very useful at times: eg when scrabbling on the floor behind the computer trying to jiggle various plugs about.

    I watched Queen Vic's ch'n. Very enlightening. I wonder if the Victoria defenders will make a programme now.

    Have just done Big Shop, It always takes longer than I think but at least I don't have to trudge round the supermarket.

  • Back to nurse next week, will have to go to work with a dressing on my cheek, thank good ess teaching doesn't start till following week.

    Morning all

    Another bad night sleep-wise. Still will look to day ahead

    Planting to do - raspberries and a couple of roses that are heeled in. One though may not go in, as area it is supposed to be going in is still very wet. It is a bit dark today but no rain forecast.

    Anyone else joind GW Seed Club? Thought I'd give it a go

    That jasminr looks wonderful, I can almost smell it from here.

    Just done my good deed for the day. Next door neighbour os attempting to rejuvenate his apple trees. Gave him this months GW mag which has picture and instructions, then went around, secateurs at the ready to show him how to cut to a budimage

    Everyone in the close is 'battling' with uncared for gardens. I think ours was the worst which is why we had to gut it. Every one has moved in, in the last 2 1/2 years!

    You need to ask estate agent to be honest about what you can do to help increase the chances of a sale. We did and he was, well, a bit honest!
