After several months of doing the laundry, I've found out I've been putting the powder in the bit for pre wash, not main wash. ( googled the instructions as I don't know where "the book" is )
We have 2 machines, one for whites one for colours. OH obviously hasn't noticed the colours not being washed properly.
As my dear Mother would have said " what the eye doesn't see: the heart won't grieve over"
DiD= Desert Island Discs Panda ......another of my guilty pleasures
Drive up was very good - first time I've done it in under 3 hours (=2 Archer omnibuses). Felley Priory was lovely - initially looked like there would not be much to see, but there were actually hundreds of hidden gems. Lots of named snowdrops (Melanie Broughton has gone on my wish list), lots of hellebores, iris and corydalis. Plus hundreds of peonies pushing their red shoots through. So much promise in a garden at this time of year.
Now having a cuppa whilst Chicklet finishes up her last lecture for the term, then time to pack the car with her "stuff"......mostly consisting of enough shoes to wear a different pair every day of the month that she's home. I exaggerate, but you get the picture.
It's been cold and mizzly here all day - I've been on the sofa with my knitting and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Pork chops, braised fennel and jacket potatoes have been eaten - OH is washing up - I'm waiting for GW on the telly - I might have a little doze first ...
Is Hosta still under that hedge?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Think someone should rescue him Dove - don't want him face down in a bag of compost all night...
Braised sausages with onion gravy, veg and mash for us tonight . Very nice it was too
Tried very hard not to have a kip later this afternoon too after being awake at 4 this morning for a while. Early to bed tonight and off to Glenshee/Braemar tomorrow for a little hill
Nice day for you chicky. Youngest fairylet said to me that I'm like plants the way other people are with shoes. Don't know what she means...it was only a packet of seeds........and some of those Acidanthera/Peacock orchids ...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Maybe we don't really need to use the detergent

Manky here too Dove - it's a tropical 5 degrees now - I could almost take my second simmit off - woo hoo!
Hosta - I use about half the amount of detergent and fabric conditioner. Never notice any difference.
Not 'out, out' RB - are you sure? But if you go 'out' and stay 'out', will you not be 'out, out' ?

Quiet on here today.
Cold and miserable all day, have been snuggled up reading the paper.
Take away on order, beer open.
Have a good night.
