We've been busy trying to get the 2 spare rooms ready for OH's daughter and family. OH has been putting up curtain rails, I've unpacked four more boxes, think just 2 left now of ornament things and pictures. Went out and bought bedside lights for spare room.
Topbird, Thetford Garden Centre is the first one we went to yesterday and had coffee in the café. Bought most of the plants and some tools there. I think you recommended it before, so thank you. It's only 10 minutes away. Big Tesco there too.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Brrrrr winter has returned so I've used most of today's respite time in the basement, potting up sprouting begonias and dahlias. My tall begonia which overwinters in the basement is now like a pot of forced rhubarb but it's still too cold to sit it out even with a double of fleece.
Panda Hope the extractions aren't too bad - I actually had two wisdom teeth taken out with a three-month-old baby Wonky laying on my lap! I think I must've been mad
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Panda - I had a wisdom tooth taken out a few years ago 'cos it was doing nowt but crowding the other teeth. Very quick - no pain at the time just a tiny bit achy the next day - don't miss it at all.
Feels like a huge hole in your head though - couldn't stop exploring it with my tongue
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Press the tofu between two chopping boards lined with towels and stick a tin of tomatoes on top. That'll squeeze a lot of water out. Then cut it to the shape you want, then freeze. That'll take out even more water. Then defrost and marinate.
It's been stuck between rain and hailstones here in sunny Dundee
It's gone very black here... an afternoon of sunshine, drizzle, hail and rainbows. It was, of course, hailing when I was outside clearing leaves out of the gutter and planting some snowdrops, which I bought from a plant stall in our market this morning.
GWRS, I'm with you on Irish Guinness.
Fingers crossed here too (though I'm not clever enough to post a pic!)
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
