    We only go on about it when the state of our respective houses is so bad that it's easier to talk about the 15 minutes acomplished than actually do a second 15 minute blitz!

    :D what are you lot like.

    I have done nowt but work today - 8-5.30 is more than enough for one day I think. Perhaps one season. Mad mad mad busy at work today.

    10,000 snowdrops ready to be rehomed by post. And we saw and sold so many plants to folks that I'm talked out.

    Lots of lovely volunteers helped though.

    :D

    Himself is on route home from skiing.

    Not a bad day, took mutts too and walked 2x at work when could.

    Time for a sit now and then maybe 15 mins of activity but not yet!
