Had a great day in the garden yesterday. Got another barrowload of weeds up. It was just nice to be able to get outside. There was a sense of promise in the air.
Some good programs on telly last night too. Watched a program about earthworms and fungi and composting. Then a wonderful program I'd seen before, about Himalayan tigers. As that finished I surfed channels, and caught a close-up of Jenny Faulkner's backside as she was climbing a ladder. To finish with - double Borgen. Lørdag nat tidsplan var bedre end Chistmas gentager tilbyder, efter min mening.
The most interesting item was the one about worms and composting. I knew that worms helped to improve soil. But, according to this program, worms actually make soil. Soil is digested plant material that has been passed through a worm and turned into soil (similar to the way that we digest plants and excrete brown stuff). There was some remarkable close-up film of a worm's anus, and you could see the new particles of soil being excreted, ....
Hmm, Morning all , Would that be a new pic of day competion ?
Another warm day. Garden seems to be drying out at last but grass still boggy. Like Becks, can't wait to get a cut on it but I'll only end up tearing the roots. Got a lot of tidying up done and have discovered new growth on the cobaea so it must have survived the frost. See what happens in the Spring.
Didn't switch tele on till after 8 last night. Me and Hubbie gave conservatory a good bottoming as the giant redwood has now departed. Decided to watch last weeks Ripper Street just in time for new one tonight. Got a bit of a shock - thought I was watcing a porn film ! Bit graphic to say the least.
Off to daughters later as she has some flatpack stuff for hubbie to assemble so shall be entertained by 50 shades of blue.
Good morning, the house is quiet and I am sitting here having a nice cuppa. Found Glengettie tea in LIdl, it's what we used to have at home when I was a child ,so thought I would give it a try again. Just sorted out the cooking dishes cupboard after the Christmas cook out. WHy don't people put the dishes back in properly? Men's spatial awareness doesn't seem to apply to cupboards.
Quite misyt but looks as if the sun is coming out, so we having the makings of a nice day. Christmas tree to pot and patio area needs sorting out, plants to inspect.. I am feeling rather lazy at the moment though. Or maybe out for the afternoon, we haven't been out far recently. OH not feeling well though.
Hi all. I thought I would pop in and wish you all a happy new year. I don't come here often because I never have the time to keep up!
It's a bit misty down here at the sussex seaside and not windy (for a change). Lots of my snowdrops have come up and the rosemary is in flower so I am feeling very springlike. I am going to undecorate my holly and apple trees this morning. I tied red bows on them to cheer my garden up for Christmas. Dad said that the birds would pull them off but the sparrows have completely ignored them.
KG long time since we heard from you, Happy New Year.
I have had some sort of 24 hour bug spent most of yesterday in bed watching footy, that Splash was one of the most awful programmes I have seen in a long time
Special hi to KG. Best not to try and keep up, KG, just dive in every now and then. You know we have butterfly minds here and topics come and go at an alarming rate! My rosemary is in flower too
Hope the buggy get over it soon; just rest up and let someone else do the chores
Christmas Decs away for another year,had a good sort out and binned some that were definitely past their best.
I'm going to start to sort out the spare bedroom wardrobe, not looking forward to that.. We have decided to decorate now rather than leave until spring as there's not much you can do outside, far too soggy, although lots of bulbs peeping through.Got some snowdrops almost in flower
Nice day here after a very misty start, nice to be able to have the windows open and a breath of fresh air about the place.
Oh washing the car after we went down some very muddy tracks yesterday out in the Wolds. Everywhere is gungy.
Back again-very misty here too-hot news from chicken land-5 eggs today-all except Flo who is moulting and practising the piano
Splash-what is there not to like-5 quivering celebs-some quivering more than others -in both senses of the word-dive into what looks like 6 inches of water from a great height to certain death/injury in front of millions of viewers- it is a winner
I can foresee at least 2 forkers throwing an early in the year sickie tomorrow
Morning all. Bad nights' sleep for me, so probably will need to crash later on.
Hi to KG, do spot you e/w!
Very misty here, even foggy at one point. Seems to be a bit better now. All plans of a visit to Dunham abandoned. We've done it before in the fog & even getting there wouldnt be much fun with the loonies on M/W. May walk up to local park later, just to get outside.
Have just read a Good Housekeeeping where they say anything that you've not used in 2yrs should be chucked out. Hmm, try telling OH that. Oh & I suppose me too... I do tend to adopt that to clothes though. J.
