OH now snoring on settee, i am stretched out on other one looking at Forkers, dog snoring on floor - why is he tired???
Noted down where clematis lady was to see if you can visit. Do you thonk it's near Gary?
I grew some clematis from my own seeds and was really impressed with my results, flowered last year. Will collect those seeds off next doors plant and send some around. Then we can all have a go, almost a seed swap but there aren't any seeds yet
Yes, I know just going a bit stir crazy I think. I wouldn't risk it to be honest. The bus stop is a good distance from where we live and when the weathers bad it doesn't come down here anyway.
I have just had an email from the head, he said the roads are clear but the playground is dangerous so we are going to have a short day, start at 9am finish at 2pm with no lunch. Obviously if it snows then plans will change.
This was part of our back garden earlier today. Under the snow is a twisted hazel, and the wild life pond is completely iced up.
I've just got my Anglia Bulb catalogueThey have got Tacca bulbs, Bat Flower, 3 different colours, £4.50 each, so I am going to give them a try. They say they are easy to grow and I am ordering a Gloriosa Lily again, lost mine a couple of yeas ago.
All we seem to get in the garden are sparrows, blue tits, great tits, pigeons, and during the last few days dozens of seagulls, and oh blackbirds and a robin. We feed them daily, fat balls seed, fat, crumbs, but cannot attracts anything else.
Just having a cuppa and a pain au raisin. OH asleep on the settee, cat asleep on the chair, had to clear myself a space on the small settee which has become a dumping ground since Christmas. Doesn't look as though tea will be any time soon.
OH went mad on the bird food. The blackbird family have been back and for all day, the youngster particularly seems to enjoy himself messing around in the snow. I tried the apples on the skewer and that found favour straight away. Got something for the wrens, but was difficult to find somewhere to put it, so they haven't noticed it yet. End of the loaf for the magpies. Blue tits favour the peanuts.

Kate-leave them in the packets-you may read the outside only
-have my marigolds at the ready
Are you using an Amstrad computer to match the monitor Becks- does it have green lettering?
This big thrush
-it is not another medical thing is it?-just checking

nteresting about the clematis. I've never tried to do that but will give it a go. Got some nice ones.
I wish I wasn't a wimp and could get out and drive.
Fed up now. Really good prog on Humpback whales on Eden but I've had to turn over as the Orcas are after them. Think I can guess the outcome.
At least the kids are enjoying the snow.
Do you want to drive if that Jean?-let the bus do the fuss or the train take the strain
Jean where do you want to go to? I always think that non essential journeys are fool hardy in these conditions.
Geoff the seeds will not arrive for a week and you promised milder conditions
Kate are you expecting to be "working from home" again tomorrow?

O.H. texted and says there's a bit of a thaw on.
Feel like I'm living on the moon.
