The year is definitely brightening up with longer days, so everyone should feel more positive soon!


I haven't sown any seeds yet, that's the snag. If I plant them too early they get too big for the propagator and then I don't have enough sunny windowsills and they become etiolated. I should get going though as I have about 6 different types of chilli seeds that I bought in the sale.


Staying with friends this weekend and took pup for his first big outing to Stratford. Luckily I wasn't intending to actually go anywhere in particular as we were literally mobbed walking down the street. I don't think I've ever met so many people in one day! Someone should start a rent-a-pup dating agency!

Morning moonbeams and starshines

Well weekend was as always too short but F-A-B

children sent back to uni with the correct amount of feeding and food for the week.

DS picked up his microwave
DD picked up a battery (car) charger and her guitar

They looked like a right motely crew at the railstation.

I'm working today, so I'm off out quickly in a mo.

Catch up properly later.

Smiling at all these lovely invites.

I will get to the natural history museum one day........

I got £70 vouchers for the train as I was delayed going to London.

I'd really rather have had the cash, wonder if I can ask for them to change it. Three £20ish quid vouchers for train journeys is really not much use to me.

Happy Monday folks.

Hope you have a great day. Catch up later, wee white flowers calling.
Before the off

Banks
Walk les mutts
Feed chooks
remember time sheet and packed lunch.

Thanks RT and Starnac we did indeed have a nice fakemas, OK so I tried to crowbar so much into the saturday including a game of scrabble that we didnt' eat til nearly 10pm on the saturday night but hey, we're flexible.
Was lovely to have them home and both in jolly moods for a change.



M21 what a lovely thought but a lovely MSE'r pm'd me and offered me some loot for them so that should work - thank you for mentioning it.



KC thank you lovely.

Yesterday did a full 8 hours in garden (paid) and then an hour for wombles (paid) no time for any of my own stuff.

Today's kinda the same but I'm not moaning.

I'm looking at 7+16 paid hours this week. All good. Gotta make bulbs whilst the snowdrops are out and all that.

Managed to get some wild garlic bulblets for free must propagate from them as part of my edible/perennials for sale.

Co-op was bargainous yesterday lots of veg for 29p so ended up buying around £6.59 worth including cauli/lettuce/pineapple/soup pack/satsumas and reduced bread/rolls too for 29p. Maybe my 10p lady has changed to the 29p man.



HM grub and lunches.

Meal plan kinda looks like this

Sunday leftover fakemas dinner
Monday - noodle and dumpling soup
Tues - pulled pork and wedges
Wed - fish and tomatoes, or scotch broth (HM)
Thurs - soup as likely out
Fri - date night - who knows

Petrol today £22

Cream crackered as I must have planted a few thousand snowdrop thinnings today and packed up a lot for selling on internet.

Walked dogs when home, which is novel and its great that its light til gone six now.

Hello spring, I've missed you.

Must read up more about wild garlic and how big it gets/what folks expect if they buy some
