    Good for you DD - you'll do a marvellous jobimage  Good way of getting to know lots of people in slightly different circumstances too.

    Love the pictures Pat - are they the ones sometimes called Ghost Gums?

    Garden beckons today. Mr C is taking both the Dads to a football match in Southampton, so I am home alone.  Going to collect leaves and plant out some foxglovesimage  will need to wrap up warm❄️❄️❄️

    my GW calendar arrived tooimage  it adorns my desk at work.  That, and my ever-flowering streptocarpus, and my pen holder in the shape of a pair of wellies, are clues to my alter-egoimage

    Chicky, glad you liked the photo. Ghost gums are found around central Australia (eg Alice Springs area). Ours are probably E. mannifera. To be absolutely certain I need to see the Gum nuts, flowers and leaves and they're just a bit high (image) to collect. have a good day without the men.

    Morning folks,  Not a good one so far.  My lie-ins are very precious to me and for some reason I must have set my alarm clock an hour early.  Not a happy bunny.

    A very bright, sunny day here but it looks cold with frost on the roofs and cars.  Nothing particular planned apart from checking on the greenhouse.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend.

    Morningimage - frowostery start but lots of lovely sunshine - the calm before the storm tonight / tomorrow?

    Had another normal-Hosta-night - still awake at 3am - think I might try a Nightol for a couple of nights and try to restablish a sensible sleep pattern.

    Glad the job is going well Wonky. You must look more like a weeble than a Womble with all those layers.image

    Congratulations on the presidential election DDimage - you're certainly the one to get things done but make sure you do some delegation to make it a team effort.

    Hope you have a lovely hols Hosta. Are you sure you can't find a secluded corner somewhere where you can avoid getting white bits? It's what we do with spare towels ever ready for a quick cover up if needed.

    Lovely pics from Scotland. We're hoping to take the camper on a quick Scottish tour in January to take some nice winter pics. So we'd like a bit of snow on the tops please - but not enough to make driving difficult or dangerous.

    Forgotten what everybody else was up to but hope you all have a lovely day. C..mas shopping starts this week - need to make a list so I can go in head down elbows out and just do itimage

  • Yay!  Hosta image

    I've been out and tipped the leaves off the pond netting - the grass is crisp and white and there's frost on the roof of the little greenhouse.  I've topped up the bird feeders.

    I have a pheasant and some cider to introduce to each other at some stage today, but otherwise nothing much is planned - I'm sure I'll find a way to fill the day image
