  • My first thought when I hear the word 'staples' is those 'u' shaped double ended nails used for fixing wire fences ... That's a farmers daughter for you image

    Back from a lovely visit to Wonky image Lots of snowdrops and lots of other things peeping through, and a Geum Totally Tangerine blooming as if it's midsummer! 

    I've left my poorly laptop with her Lovely Hub and he will wave a magic wand and make it better so I don't have to post on my phone all the time. image


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    That's what I think of Dove - or more usually, the kind that go in a staple gun. A vital piece of equipment for us at work. It's hard to believe how difficult it can be to get theright staples and staplers too!

    No chance of the weather being good Liri - it's to be snowing, sleeting or raining - or all three depending on height! I may change my mind  image

    I love the sound of your veg bake too  image

    Got out for a quick hour's walk 'round the doors', after doing a few bits and bobs outside. Fatty McFatface was getting peeved at me as I was near the food he wanted   image

    Dove - I noticed my Geum was starting to flower again - what a star plant as seems to be one of the first 'up' and one of the last 'out'.

    Too rainy for any gardening today - total shame as need to crack-on. Small window of dry in the morning so will be going to a local food and craft market. It's located in a lovely park which I walk through in the mornings as it a shortcut from where I park to where I work. It is a very uplifting start to the day and next week should herald the first bursts of yellow as I notice the Daffodils are nearly ready to show their cheery faces. This walk is like a mini de-stress, mindfulness and energy-booster session - all free of charge from The University of Mother Nature.

    Just been looking at the menu for the Pollen Street Social, where we are eating next w/e, thought you might be interested Dove.

    Hi Pat, I'm awake. image

    Firstly many thoughts for Susan and your family at this time. A little piece of me goes out to you.

    x

    Weather round the world is a bit nuts, I thought of you and your husband not long ago with the fires. Now you don't know whether to have the aircon or the heating on !!

    I'm off to bed now to try and sleep but just wanted to say a big thank you for the jigsaw puzzle site. It's really great. image

    Afties Pat - and morning Daisy if you're not asleep!

    Up to take daughter to work but the weather's vile so I won't be walking.  I'll send you some rain Pat - we have plenty to spare. Ground's really saturated image

    Cup of tea before I go.

    Morning all. 

    Another day, or should that be YET another day at the coal face today. Massive rain moving in later so I hope I've not got too many deliveries this afternoon.

    What are you going to do with your " day off" Fairy?

    Dunno Hosta - it's a real stinker out there - sleety rain, windy and four degrees. I'd forgotten how much of that we normally have   image
