    Oh dear Joyceimageimage.  I'm a bit miffed as I ordered some fancy gardening gloves, which arrived, and I've not been able to try them out.  Well I don't want to get them wet do I?image.

    Our car had a service and MOT but is making a horrible noise occasionally so it's booked back in for Thursday.  We may be in for a big bill tooimage.  Dog's going for a haircut tomorrow and son has a dental hospital visit to see if they can persuade him to have an injection for further treatment.  Nay chanceimage.  They are so good and do keep trying, bless 'em.  I think I'll get the holiday brochures outimage.

    Mmm - roast beast here with roast veg. Rather good if I say so myself  image

    I think oldest fairylet should just put her gravy in a mug....

    Lesley - it's a bit miserable. At least it's warm. I don't want  to be putting the heating on..image

    depressing day here. Lights on all day, very low light and constant drizzle. It's so warm out there I half expect to see some tropical flowers popping up. (I wish!)

    my car has to go in next week, the key lock episode should definitely Not have happened.

    spent the day cooking, baking and cooking apples all for the freezer. Doing my first apple and rowan berry jelly. Also have some vodka soaking celery leaves and stalks as was very poor growth this season. We shall be ready for the B...y Marys

    DD sorry about the tv, can you watch the Internet?

    sorry can't look back or will loose this and a wee bit weary tonight image

  • My new scarifier/raker arrived today but as it's lectrick I can't test it out or I'll light up like Chrimpass! image Also I need a wrench to change it over to rake as it arrived with scarifier in place.

    My green bit won't know what's hit it! image

    Oops. Sorry. Forgot. Haha Joyce. image

  • Hope you've got plenty of room in your compost bin PP - we nearly filled ours just using the rake on our little front lawn!!!   I had to use goggles, the dust was a bit grim as we've not had proper rain for months. 

    It's been really hot and sticky here today, and I've been baking ... I made this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/recipes/11726744/Honey-and-Co-book-Courgette-golden-raisin-and-pistachio-cake.html using the pattypan squashes from the garden.  It's a fantastic recipe - so moist and full of flavour, yet still really light.

    We also had pattypans for supper - I made this http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/recipes/courgette-tart-scarpaccia-7640718.html  - a bit different and very tasty - highly recommended.  

    Now I've flollopped on the sofa - that's me done for the day - see you in the morning folks image

  • I have about half a bin's room left Dove but my grass goes to the tip anyway as there is quite a lot so a taste of thatch will make little odds. I'll drive fast and it can blow away. image

  • Evening all,
