It was another nice day here yesterday, so got some Autumn jobs done.
Trimmed some hedge. This is the best time of year to do that. And prunned back some buddlea. The buddlea cuttings are very long and straight. I don't know if they'd make good canes when dry and dead. They might be brittle. I don't know. I'll keep a few to try. I put most of them through the shredder where they make useful chippings for paths.
Courtesy of Google News this morning.... today's Telegraph contains a long article about Alan Tichmarsh, plugging his new book. It's about how he constructed his new garden, at the home he made when he left Barleywood. The article includes a couple of interesting photos of his 'new' garden (presumably taken from the book). Note that when mowing his lawn, Alan wears a tee-shirt colour co-ordinated with his alliums. Perhaps he's just very fond of that colour...
Enjoyed Apprentice last night. It was a good episode. How many cock-ups can people make in an hour. Interesting insights into the world of publishing. I actually agreed with that girl's strategy - that a niche product would be more likely to be successful.
Useful that one candidate was an expert in the industry, and had their own successful publishing business, etc, etc. The consequence of that is always inevitable.
I can understand that no-one might have been able to spell corjet. But not being able to spell potato?
Morning all, got up later the usual, will probably make it just in time for my first dissertation student. No time for breakfast, that means a buttery toasted tea cake when I get into work, yum. Catch you later.
Morning everyone Spent most of yesterday at daughters - may as well move in with her until she moves. Someone coming today to check at boiler for her as it wasn't what was thought the original problem and new washing machine has to be purchased as it has expired . Just one of those things bit it would have to happen now.
Pam, had my flu jab Weds, very impressed. It didn't hurt and no side effects . First one I've had. Last of my M.O.T. yesterday was a visit to dentist - no work needed so just had clean so purse didn't take to much of a battering
It's an odd day here - not cold but the sky is pink
