Afternoon all
Hubby & I spent yesterday in the garden, the trellis is finished, the birdfeeder is repositioned & the winter veg is planted.
We went to a local garden centre today to look at water features & came back with a new BBQ???? Ours is on it's last legs so we did need a new one.
BIL was meant to be going away for the weekend & hubby & I had decided to treat our selves to a pub lunch, but BIL turned up at 8 last night, so I've been to Tesco to buy a chicken to roast. Only 2 more weeks now I hope, I want my life back.
Hugs Hester

Hello again darlings
Sunnyday - gosh honey I hope you feel better. Sounds painful
Mellika - he is a DJ at a club that closes at 0200, so by the time he has packed down and driven home, it's often around 0330 - and if he stops for a nap on the way home, it can be later/earlier. He has a 'normal' job M-F but Thurs/Fri and Sat he is a DJ. Plus he is my carer, so he is one in a million. Oh and I grow sage cos it has the most lovely purple flowers, but I do add the leaves to my stuffing mixes and it tastes good with chicken dishes and pasta sauces.
Redruby - glad your dad enjoyed the cake, my aunty sally is tickled pink that all these people are baking her recipe!
Squiggly - the storms moved away around 0600 so yes, I am guessing they travelled up to you!!
Stef- I can understand why you are so annoyed with ex-OH, I would be too
hilstep2000 - trying hard not to be jealous of your holiday in St Lucia. Very hard... :rotfl: Seriously though I am glad you had a great time.
Pippa, wave at me when you get to Modbury, I am in Devon too.
Well done ladygrim, sounds like you have been working hard - I have my winter potatoes planted out in potato bags so can't wait til they start sprouting!
I am off to do some baking now - yumyumyum
Hope you are having a great weekend and see you all tomorrow
Hugs to everyone
