    Afternoon lovelies!!

    Not much to report yet I'm afraid. Sun is out though! image

  • Looked out of the back bedroom window and surveyed my little garden, magnolia stellata coming to, growth on the oriental poppy. A lot to do, but off to the market shortly.

    Hiya Becks, have you managed to wrest your ipad off Jess yet?

    Just in for a break. planting the rose is not as straightforward as I thought, taking ages. Will return to it after this break!. Quite mild out there, nearly took my jacket off!

    Have found some aconites out, thought they were drowned but i fact was looking in wrong placeimage

    I have had to dirty my wheelbarrow, mixing compost and horse manureimage

    Afternoon all, she sniffs, another cold?

    Wow those bush fires sound terrible, just read about in paper. Glad all you relatives ok Dove, that's the important bit.

    Shopped early, only 1 checkout lady working & too much to tackle self till plus OH! image Nice person opened new till, just for us. image No string to be got though- hmm, shall have to use the huge roll of ex PO, I assume, that came back from Dad's.

    We now have a new Christmas tree. I lost, OH had his way & if it is too wide then not my fault! But it is smaller than old one. OH wouldnt stop for a coffee either. image He's wondering if he's reacting to caffeine again, so insisted we came home to get decaf! They do sell it there, but no he refuses to put £ into so n so's pocket! It's an independant GC, yes big & getting bigger but still family owned & run so why not support them?

    It's quite warm out in the sun, wish I'd done some washing, but no time really now. Have washed out & topped up birdfeeders & fed the wormery.Very glad that I did all the urgent stuff yesterday. Am ignoring the greenhouse clean out- will need a wholeday for that & anyway must go to the tip with rubbish piled up in there first!

    I need to start some mending now, whilst the light is good. The ironing will get done tonight, well that's the plan. OH going to do some baking soon.... J.

    Glyn! She is getting bored of it now. Just like she did with my phone! image I've been watching a programme called 'Love Thy Neighbour' on it, on 4OD. Quite amusing. image

    If you can afford to support local business then fine-a lot of people can'timage

    Finally planted rose, was tricky because I was planting it in a chimney pot!

    Will leave raspberries one more day, not sure back can do much more today.

    OH is stripping last of the sprouts off the stems, really it's time to look forward in the garden

    SIL phoned to say her son is having top hat and tails wedding. Hope he doesn't expect uncles etc to wear them. Nephew and father is wellover 6ft tall how silly will that look image (whoops better put the cat awayimage)

    NB have cleaned PW

    I love one set of my neighbours cause they feed me!! imageimage

  • Poor you,Jo. Hope you are better soon.

    I'm disappointed the Christmas lunch is cancelled, Geoff.

    Becks. is 'Love thy Neighbour' one of those none P.C. programmes the wouldn't be shown now? Seeem to remember it was very funny.

    I hope your PW is still pristine, Rosa. Perhaps you should get another one and keep your pink one for best.

  • Matty2Matty2 Posts: 4,817

    Yes still pristine, but have asked OH today if there are bright pink garden buckets as well imageimage

    Our builder next door neighbour filled up his and my wheelbarrows with apple logs BUT he wouldn't push mine He, He, heimage
