Have a great time bramble xx

[Florence Fennel]

I've read somewhere that rats don't like the smell of bleach GF, so worth a try. I've tried vinegar, but it didn't work.
Have a good holiday Bramble.

Good morning all, it's raining here as well.
Just watered the remaining tomatoes in the greenhouse.
My grandson will look after them while I am away.

Snoop, glad you got the rain you were needing.

Nicos, How quickly the bill adds up, you couldn't live here with everything being so expensive.
I do believe Ireland is the most expensive country in Europe.

Anyway, we are off to the airport at lunchtime,
Have a good day all.

Good morning all.

Grey and murky here with rain forecast by lunchtime. Snoop, you're more than welcome to come and siphon some away!

I've really noticed this morning how bare some of the trees are getting. I can see the magpies nest again that has been hidden by greenery all Summer.

Mr GF got another birthday present delivered this morning, from my sister, so he's feeling happy.

I been trying to decide whether to do a grory hop today or tomorrow. On balance I think tomorrow as Aldi never seem to have frozen croissants on Tuesdays, and we are low on them.

Flo, I've never heard of using bleach to deter rats. Does it work?

I think I'll deliver a couple of the banana loaves I made later. They should have gone sticky by now.

Good Morning All Raining here too Bren. A pity because I was going to liberally pour bleach around the shed and the patio in an attempt to deter the latest rat and kill some weeds at the same time. Have a good day

Morning

Good news on your Rain Snoop, pity I can't send you some of mine we have rain here for the day.

No real plans here apart from making a batch of Brambles soup this morning, that and Briam are my favourite tomato recipes.

enjoy your day

Brill news about the rain Snoop!

Mornin n’alln’all

Early start for me…I was woken up by two Tawny owls hooting away for about 10 minutes right outside the bedroom window!
How lovely was that!

Yesterday’s grory hop -( well, the supermarket was just around the corner from the DIY shop!) was very successful…I went to have a nosey and came away with three bags of daff bulbs and five amaryllis just budding up. Also candy canes and chocolate money for my Xmas crafting.
Didn't need anything else but still somehow manage to spend well over 150€

Hope everyone has a great day

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Just a brief hello as I'm behind on about four things all at once!

Sunny out there now, but we did have rain in the night, maybe 6 mm. Twice what was forecast, so twice as good!

Have a great day, everyone.

Morning all.

Enjoy the outing, Nicos. I love DIY shops, especially the old-fashioned ones. It's like being a kid again. Lots of bits and bobs for purposes I know not what, but all intriguing.

Cloudy out, but no rain forecast till late this afternoon. A whole 3 mm! Fingers crossed it's more than that.

Stuck at the computer much of today, but do want to get some gardening in if I can. Didn't do any in the end yesterday.

Have a great day, everyone.

Edited to add: Glad Mr GF had a good birthday. Hope you get a better night's sleep tonight, GF.
