sitting here and looking out of the window....rain's almost horizontal when the wind gusts.

Time to get out my seed box and dream of spring planting....

Sitting at dining table trying to work but keep looking at A4A website :)

Have planted some sweet peppers - they are in the airing cupboard ;D

Thinking about going for a run if the wind drops - feel that I should have a go at "race for life" but have never run that far ???

avoiding ironing ;)

Peeing down here too. I have planted loads of seeds to go in the propagator plus some lettuce & also potted on an early tomato. Now sitting in front of a roaring fire while OH watches the footie with a cuppa & a rock cake I made this morning. Not as good as being outside but not that bad either :)

been on the plot this morning, it didn't start pi**ing down 'til 11 o'clock..then went transplanting seedlings in the greenhouse while ray tidied up the poly..walked back to the car, got soaked so showered, got changed and went out for lunch, only morrisons but they do lovely dinners, roasts 'n' things, reasonable prices and we don't have to cook or wash up.. ;D

Went down to the lottie at 9:00 as managed to get 10 paving slabs from freecycle and got OH to pick them up yesterday so he delivered them to me this morning ( only 2nd time he has been down). He just dropped them off where I will want them and then he drove off into the sunset (well no sun!!!)

Finished off the 3rd raised bed yesterday so but down weed suppressant fiber and then topped them all off with straw that had just been delivered from the local stables (thought about SS) so the main path running the length of the plot will now be known as Supersprout Highway!

moved slabs into final postion just need to go on a bed of sand when I get some to finish off the path to the front of compost bins - heavens then opened and got drenched ( found out coat is not rain proof) so came home and done Roast chicken dinner for 2 and book work for sons business and looking at the moment at the pile of ironing ugh!!!!

It was quite nice here til about midday, freezing cold tho. Couldn't get down the lottie as it's far too wet so we sowed our first seeds in modules ;D and hubby washed the car ;) .

Got up early cos we finished putting the glass in the old GH yesterday and I had all the stuff outside ready to clean up before I put it back in. We knew it was gonn arain so had to get it done before it did. Tony decided to clean out his pool filter. Its a huge tank full of grog (some sort of ceramic filter medium)It took him all morning ( he was like a drowned rat when he came in) It only needs doing once a year if you keep the brushes clean. Have been playing games on POGO this afternoon. Crossword and word whomp just to keep our old brains ticking over.
