    Evening folks image sounds like a lovely day Obelixx, I would have had the moules frites with you! image

    Hosta, lucky to have a helpful hubby! Worrying when they go off piste though! image we have decided it is best if we both stick to our specialist subjects, I won't try and fix computers or DJ anytime soon if he starts out of my kitchen and garden! image unless I need a tall person of course but only on request! image

    Well done on the tennis Dove and extra well done for going to the garden centre for compost and coming back with compost! Unheard of with us lot! image

    Lovely day in Laxfield with Papa womble, a country walk then a country drive round by a plant stall with some lovely ornamental grasses, four of them to be exact! image........well it would be rude.......image

    Quick dinner of asked potato with way too much butter and chilli, then a slobbing session image have a lovely evening folks

    Wonky -- it was a moules restaurant that also did steak and burgers for the non mollusc brigade.  12 different ways with moules.  Lovely.

    Glad you've had a good day too.  Liri, your project looks amazing.  I hope you do manage to source some good plants.   LP enjoy your family snuggles.

    Hosta, haven't started on LoD yet but we'll get there.   My OH is helpful in the garden too but definitely needs a comprehensive list of what needs doing or close supervision and I have to be subtle about the latter or he gets the hump.  Hope you get the bungy sorted.

    Fairy - think of low stuff as a warm up, keeping you loose enough for the high stuff on days off.

    Dove - shoulder OK for tennis now?

    Shoulder still iffy Obelixx. Seems to have got this far and is now stuck. If can sometimes be very painful, particularly in the morning, then it eases, but I just cannot fully extend it image But it's not getting any worse - at least that's positive image

    Hi all.

    We are loving Line of Duty.

    Just popped in to say, that I will not be popping in!

    Am off to Aldershot for a couple of days, to talk about ghastly things and give a lecture about Halabja, something I had hoped I would never need to do again.

    The tight b#####s are not even paying for a hotel, I am staying in the barracks.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    I hope the barracks are comfortable and the showers are hot and the loos work.

    Has anyone been watching the dog programme on Wed nights? Think it has been mentioned, love it. Tigger used to look at me the way Bodger looks at Badger, but they are so fit, all that running and swimming.

    Night everyone. I hope Hosta has a good sleep, too. We're off shortly for our excursion to Canberra.

    Morning all. 

    Despite best wishes from many, for which deepest thanks, I'm wide awake and have been for almost 2 hours. image

    Hubby in the shop today so I'm going to get stuck into the grass. 

    Oversight on our friend's part means we're heading home after the opera on Friday night which means we'll have all day in the garden on Saturday.

    I've been so busy with new bits of the garden, and moving stuff around, I'm ashamed to admit to not having a single seed tomato sown, nor much else for that matter.image

    I know it's against the rules, but I'm having a cuppa then heading back to bed. Might get a couple of hours in.

    Hope you managed more than a couple of hours Hosta.  I reckon tomatoes sown now would soon catch up image.

    Will keep an eye out for you Pdoc - Aldershot is very close to us image  Not many barracks left to stay in image

    Love what you are doing to the space in the park Liri image.  We get scalpings delivered (we, and the neighbours, keep the unmade track we live on pothole free with them).  They normally get delivered in the middle of the night, whilst the roadworks are going on.  We pay a nominal sum, but for a good cause they should waive that.

    No frost again image  Loving this spring weather, but we really could do with some good rain.  Never happy image

    Good morning all image  Hope you got/are getting some zzzzzzzzs Hosta. 

    OH has looked out of the window - he says there's no sign of any frost.
