Don’t I know it and that’s why I have a stack of unread books piling up. Have you read ‘His Bloody Project’ – last year’s Man Booker? I’ll send it if you like.

immigrant blackbirds, for certain We’ve got a few now but they haven’t found the bird table yet – they like to rummage in the wood chip. I’m leaving my ivy alone too until next year. Did you get all your plants in? -

Can just picture it! Hope you can do a celebratory burning of paint splashed overalls whilst sipping a little something with your canapes!

Morning girls and so glad that nobody has sufered in the storm
Your weekend sounds brilliant Bean @beanstew and I only wish someone would video it and we could have a tour. -
Those burnt overalls would help make a super scarecrow

It’s only up to date as I don’t clear anything, Sheila apart from the dead veg stuff. Food as Medicine starts next week – I enrolled – it’s only 3 weeks but am not expecting much.

Morning Jane. All work and no play etc.etc.

Have bookmarked this website, Jane. Thankyou. Will have a thorough look at it when I get back. With winter closing in, it’s more difficult to avoid boredom which is the enemy of the ageing woman.

Morning Sheila
glad to hear you’re safe but not so about that tree! That Pay Back list was a brilliant idea and I will remember it if I get tangled in anything similar. Have a great day – let’s hope celebrations are very soon.-
Celebrations are taking place on Saturday. My brother and wife will be up, and he and various members of my family will be meeting Duncan’s partner and the infant there for the first time. Am preparing a buffet for the get-together to keep their strength up, while they wander from room to room admiring the carpentry and the quality of the…[Read more]

Morning Lynn
goodness, that’s early! Have a good day and take it easy when possible -
I suppose the nursery has to be open for parents going to work. Must say I’m glad I had children when women mostly managed to stay at home while they were very young. How many hours today without a cup of tea?
-
Morning Lynn. 7.30, that’s dedication, you can collapse later.
-
Morning Lynn and all…I start at 8, but that’s my choosing
must be lovely to work with little ones, -
It is Sue, but it’s full on the whole time

Afternoon Cilla, off to do some potting on in the greenhouse and planting out of violas

Morning clickers

Felt my gut twisting with nasty envy as I read that your garden is up-to-date. Mine is a disaster area, needing days and days of work – but I might get out there now if the rain stays off for a bit. Also wondering if I can start a course on Future Learn – but nothing tickling my fancy yet. Don’t work too hard Jane – it’s only money.

Morning Karen
good to hear you’re safe and sound- regrettably, there’s always some suffering and we wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Have a good swim and I hope the garden looks ok when you can see it -
Morning Jane, nature reminding us again, that she is in charge. Still as black as a bag out there, so will get my swim in now.
See you had some more work in, are you nearly through with it? Have a good day. -

Hi Cilla
finished one lot of work and started the big one. Having a break until tomorrow now Getting light here now – sun on the living room wall! Yes, we’ve been watching that – the women make me squirm but it’s quite good. Only gave 5 minutes each to Our Girl and Snowball. A new Beck series is on BBC4 – love it and have read all the…[Read more] -

Hope all our clickers in the line of Ophelia are ok
just been checking on the orange sky – due to Sahara dust being picked up on route. Very dark and grey here but hardly anything else but a clear line of light on the western horizon. Stay safe and have a good evening -
Hi Jane. Back to normal here but very blowy. Are you all worked out? Are you watching The Last Post? I’m enjoying it.

Morning Jenn
if that doesn’t work, you can get ‘woodland shade grass’ now – it has rye in it and seems to work quite well – of course, it depends on how much soil is under the tree too… Have a good day -
Hi Jenn. I have Stipa tenuissima popping up everywhere and have lots in pots fromb nes I dug up…..nowhere to put them though

Yes, OH planted the two big ones in the acer bed and I have planted all but Rosy Jane, not sure where she is going yet. We have two self sown leycesterias which need moving.
Morning ladies….Lots of blackbirds on my early morning poppydog walk, but just a few usual suspects on the bird table….plenty of worms at the moment i think. Have a good day both
