I've been into the city and bought pattern and wool for 'matinée coat' for nephew's baby due in May. Then I discovered that despite having all my needles, all Ma's needles and all of Little Granny's needles, I didn't have the size I needed - so I've braved the ring road at rush hour to get the right needles from Hobbycraft.
As I drove into the carpark I just managed to avoid a liver-roan cocker spaniel without collar, lead or human being who was dashing across the carpark on his own at full speed. He seemed to know where he was going - I hope he did - last seen disappearing under an archway near the river, with several people standing watching as he flashed past.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Fairy I spoke to Wonky this morning - she hadn't eaten anything but dried toast, but at least that had stayed put. I won't ring her any more in case she's sleeping - she said she really wants to go to work tomorrow, so plenty of rest today is important.
Not sure if I'm sensible or normal, but I make sure everyone has enough cake and coffee

Hope she's ok soon. Plenty of rest and not much else seems to be the best way of dealing with these things. Older fairylet has been unwell too with a cough/cold but also sick - very unusual for any of us to be sick. It seems to be doing the rounds here.
You 'normal' Hosta... never....
Heavy hail shower and now rain. Ah - springtime weather
I've sown some more sweet peas and stuck more Acidantheras in little pots while waiting for dinner to finish cooking.
Cake would be nice right now
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

like Verdun, sunshine and heavy showers, some of hail.
More planting of clematis/ hostas in planters.
Must get a move on as I have a VIP guest coming in 2 weeks.
Welcome Betty - hope you enjoy the forum
It's always the way Dove
How's Wonks?
Gardener's Boy - I resent being called sane....
Horrible hailstones this afternoon at work - and here I presume as it's fairly near. Some very ominous clouds hanging around.
DD - how about just ...a banana.....
I'll get me coat....

I'm the sane one.
KEF and I are the two sensible normal people here, at least she used to say she was.
Shall now go and cook a normal chicken stir fry with rice for dinner.
eek!! I'd hate to be considered "normal". Sounds rather dull to me.
