Rats! Could only see Paula's first post when I posted because of gremlins in system so ditto to not getting Sunday evening feeling. Am not off to cinema or Blackpool UNpleasure beach!
I'm pleased to say that I'm on holiday for the summer. Sunday evenings are so much nicer when work is not looming on Monday morning. I don't feel rushed over the weekend but can plan for what to do tommorow.
Afraid I've got years working before retirement being only 27
have you got a big chart on the wall and are you crossing out the days Dove?
Yes!!!
As for helping you out - I think Tootles is just a bit closer to you than we are - but we're happy to come and supervise - we could bring sandwiches and cake - we owe you a lunch
i think you may be right about relative distance Dove, though I've never been really sure where Kesteven is. I thought it might be another of those invented places like Uttlesford, which I'd never heard of til I worked there.
Bring the sandwiches and cake any time you like. I've still got Cyclamen coum in a pot waiting for you. Which reminds me, the first of the Cyclamen hederifloium are out, I'd better weed round them before they get too advanced and I knock the heads off. I won't make the mistake of running the hover mower over them again though. Did that many years ago before I realised how far they were above ground level. One of the biggest got a shave. Didn't kill it, flowered round the edges for a couple of years and is OK now
I sympathise Tootles - got exactly that feeling now. Join us on the early shift on Morning Forkers - at least you then get to talk gardening for 10 minutes before you start your working day
Week off hurrah!!!! Sooo looking forward to some deadheading and pootle time in the gardenStroking some strawberry runners etc..... Mmmmm I have 24 years 5 months and 13 days left till I retire!!!!
Nut , I shall have to investigate our C. hedereifolium - as I recall they greeted us the week after we moved here which will be two years ago next weekend - thing is the self-seeded foxgloves are growing all over them, I shalll have to do a bit of judicious tidying and trimming.
MIL is in South Kesteven, so not far from you at all - it's printed on her wheelie bins but that's the only place I've ever seen it referred to - we've not been that way since we visited you - too busy gardening and visiting Cornwall and Wales - MIL and niece are visiting here in a couple of weeks - we'll be going that way again sometime before Christmas - when the garden can be trusted to get on with things on it's own
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Same, I'm sick of seeing two 5 'o'clock's in one day.
Though I am working from home this week. No trains, no people too close to me.
Yippy

It's not far away at all Dove. Just looked at a map. But some parts are distant, it goes way up to the other side of Grantham.
