Well I never! Almost all of my order arrived so well done Tezzies

My order from them is due on Saturday. I’ve already had to edit it as, since I placed the order, 5 items are now out of stock and only 2 of them were going to be replaced. I didn’t want either of the replacements. Eg 1 x pack of 7 dentisticks does not replace 2x packs of 28 dentisticks. The dogs will survive without them.

There was a post on our local community group from someone looking for seeds as they couldn’t buy any anywhere. So I’ve set up a seed swap. It’s on my doorstep until I can find somewhere better. People can take without donating, donate without taking. I haven’t checked if there are any takers yet although the idea seemed to be popular online. I’ve started it off with a shoebox rammed full of seed packets that I don’t need.

Good afternoon, it actually stopped raining but still complete cloud cover, as its not that warm I have been sawing more wood, this isolating has its problems, I bought a box of 12 bottles of wine about four years ago, and finished the last one a couple of weeks ago so the other night I decided to have a brandy, which I like mixing with pepsi I bought 12 cans of it for Christmas which I hadn't touched, I hadn't touched but OH likes to to give some to the boys so left with one can so I decided to start on my whiskys, so that's two bottles gone already, with six to go and if this isolation lasts longer that 2 weeks they could be finished as well

By the way the bottles I am talking about are miniatures it would take me five or six weeks to empty a regular bottle

Afternoon/evening all. Been a super day here although we could do with a wee bit of heat. As planned, I managed to get our back porch repainted. Has me wondering though, how has Dulux managed to make their Magnolia different to the last lot. I know, I know, sunlight oxidation etc but stillannoying that the colour is so different.

My next door neighbour's wee girl, 2 years old was like a pig among muck today planting some rooted onion sets I gave her mum for her yesterday. Pics posted on facebook so I was able to see how happy she was at work,

Good idea Janie I waited to complete my order until last night because of items unavailable, hope you get all you need.

I rarely drink spirits but the wine supply is low. I haven't been shopping for myself for a couple of weeks. I keep eyeing up my husband's whiskey. Only problem is I would need a clothes peg as I can't stand the smell of it. ( I have a vague memory of my dad letting me have some as a little girl which put me off for life!)

I just found myself giving my nose a rub. . I wonder how often I've done that lately

[Bren In Pots]

Evening, nipped out shopping this morning shelves were all stocked apart from flour so I got most of what I needed. Then the rest of the day was spent between the GH and garden it was a bit cooler than yesterday though so I didn't removed my jumper this time.

Many times, I bet!
My habit is pushing my hair back off my face You simply can't undo a lifetime habit easily - I was watching a bearded actor doing an interview t'other day, and he was continually stroking his beard

Wet grotty old day, so no work done on the pond, sowed some carrots outside along with some radish, it's flippin' cold got the fire lit again

You need one of these Cone Collars to stop you , Ap.
I'm surprised we're not all wearing them.

Mornin n'alln'all
Breakfast's ready!... trays outside front doors?

Plenty of wine here...just frustratingly I'm on my strict diet!

OH has arranged an online meetup this evening with friends for drinkies and nibbles for half an hour...should be an interesting experience!

Heaviest frost of the winter here last night.
Good job the blowaway was well wrapped in blankets!

Fire lit -house already smells of curry as OH is batch cooking for the freezer. Mmmm....

I'm hunkering down today to do some family tree before membership expires!

See ya later peeps...keep safe.
Hugs to all who needs them (or just fancies a hug) x

Morning it was misty early on but that's now cleared I don't think we're going be having sunshine like yesterday. Still its not raining so i;ll be out in the garden then making some more news paper pots in the GH.

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Cooler than yesterday and cloudy. Housework today then. Have a good day

[Thelma Sanders]

Mornings!
Yesterday, I mended the broken fence with some old floorboards and concreted in one replacement post, my back is really complaining today to prove it - still it's job done.
It's already warm in the greenhouse, so that's where I'll be, if anyone needs me

Have a good'un and stay safe

Good morning all.
It was a dull start but the sun has come out in the last half hour.
Going to the park for our walk while the weather is good.

Nicos we had a family video link up last Sunday and it was great fun.
Batch cooking curry, sounds like a good idea, might do that.

Thelma, take it easy on your back..

Have a good dsy all and stay safe.
