    Still waiting for my sun as promised on the weather app icon! 

    Off to a garden centre now... need compost for potting-on, more canes and some will-power not to buy the inevitable lovely thing that catches my eye! 

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Funnily enough I sat thru all of Carol's bit on euphorbias last night going No, No way, Nasty plants and ugly with it.    Hope your eye recovers completely LP.

    The ruin is available but, to be honest, is a bit cold and dark and is, in any case, full of stuff like every packing case we're keeping to put on the potager this winter, and bits of ex kitchen and it's all shuttered and dark and damp.    However, we do have 2 barns and one even had a long bench and a dining table and 6 chairs when we arrived plus a table tennis table.    It also has our teak garden table waiting for a feed and its chairs so just a few extra chairs needed.    I have a wood burner in case it's chilly.

    I have skimmed over the last couple of pages but too much going on so greetings all and hope your day is going well.   I am about to battle with curtains.   Too cool and windy for gardening and I need clean-ish nails for dancing this evening.

    Poor Liri,

    There was a section on GW last night about euphorbia. Carol was wearing glasses when she took cuttings as she said if it got in your eyes it could make you blind.

    Ever since I saw it I've pictured it with the bench cleaned up, ex kitchen units along one wall for picnic and drinks stuff, lanterns and fairy lights strung up and lots of lovely fun being had.   There's even rampant apple mint growing in the grass round there for Pimms and Mojitos tho I still prefer wine.

    North by North West is on so hang the curtains!  I'm doing my nails and watching Cary Grant.

    Afternoon all.

    Having a quiet couple of hours as I've been at a scout leaders training day and sometimes you just need a soft blanket and brain numbing television before cracking on with a few jobs.

    Still proving quite moist here; I need to get some tidying done in the garden (future in laws are over next weekend and I'm relying on good weather else we'll have no where to sit).

    Wonky; if you could pop a few seeds in for me that'd be great! 

    Today should be my last pay day from the museum; of course no cheque has arrived in the post and Facebook informs me that this boss is off on his jollies at an event.

    Place your bets on when it arrives! (Or should that be if??)
