Well the sweep out started. Got most of the moss out of roof panel cracks, the stuff on the outside will need to do when OH around for safety & longer arms!
No signs of mouse nor ratty nesting anywhere- good- but 3+yrs of 'dirt' is sufficient. Found a large terracotta pot that I couldnt remember. Will be useful.
Have already washed the floor & lower panes, sort of those, beneath the staging. That shoiuld dry a wee bit whilst am here, then can shove all the big pots & plastic boxes of smaller pots back beneath. Then can scrub down the other side & all the side panels- phew! Just hope my energy holds out. Nice smell out there now!
The shed will get a tidy up the next available dry day. J.
I spotted my celandine when I was removing the hellebore leaves. I do sometimes grub bits out, but I quite like it where it's supposed to be/stay, only of course it doesnt.
Daughter wants pancakes for tonight.....
Am sure your OH will be 'on the ball' Geoff.
Waiting on weather forecast & then back out. Oh & the 'b' boiler started again!! J.
Just come in from raking the never ending pile of leaves....
Lots of nice high-quality leaf mould compost for you; and free too.
Bought 2 birdboxes from Homebase this morning. I suppose I ought to go outside, into the cold, and put them up somewhere. It's cold nights like these that the little birdies will enjoy them.
Afternoon all, up at 5 this morning, couldn't sleep, so did some work.
Becks, you might not have had frost, but you've definitely got gremlins
Back to the nurse this morning, thought she would say don't come back, but no, have to go back next week My problems trivial compared to others though.
Mealy bugs on the aloe vera is that a grrr smiley?
Bjay, celandines are so pretty though and they are close to white, ish
I know. There are plenty in the rest of the garden but the strongest grrrr are in my white border and it's well just not on. I have been waging war on them for 2 1/2 years now. Alan Titchmarsh did a thing wjee he said they were almost impssible to eradicate. he was right
I have spare monitors upstairs gary, but I like this one. Hopefully, it was a temporary sulk. Been out and switched it off/on since, and no probs. Like Glyn says, gremlins.
Going outside for a nosey while my sausage is cooking.
Just found out we have a hole in the roof by the chimney, not good. So now hunting for a roofer and then we will need someone to sort out the damage inside. Bollocks is what i think.

Must stop playing Angry Birds

Have a good snooze Sasha
Just come in from raking the never ending pile of leaves. Still not finished.
Oaks may be mighty, glorious to look at etc but oh boy do they shed a lot of leaves, and it's not even in our garden.
Lots of little bulbs coming and a hardy fuschia is in bud! And the pesky celandine which seems to be indestructable.
It will all stop this weekend

The celandines seem to prefer my white border
Any where else and I wouldn't mind so much
