    PIP - Thinking of you, hoping you find the right words

  • Hello Pooh - lovely to see you and your inspiring posts again !

    I didn't know that a Kindle sub existed. I get a daily email from Bookbub.com with suggestions based on my tastes, and and I only choose the free ones (or classic books out of copyright which are also free.).

    Hex2 I wish I could grow more fruit and freeze it but since we made the holiday cottage we have lost all my fruit bushes. This year we are going to split a few blackcurrant bushes and replant so hopefully will have more next year. We are extending our vegetable garden too.

    Hi Elizabeth hull. I am glad you found me. I have an email from bookbub every day but had no idea what it is so have been meaning to have a look some time. Now I know I will definitely have a look, thank you.

    PIP form writing didn't go well. I couldn't sleep for a few nights and as a result couldn't think so left the last of it for today. It HAS to be posted today. So I have to finish it. On to the last few questions so will get it done.

    Has anyone else reported the spam above?

    Today's plan is PIP first and pot on vegetable seedlings second.

    Sending positive thoughts and prayers for PIP competition, and in the post.
    Hope you are sending it recorded delivery, as I have heard they can loose them ( and make a copy) Belt and braces....

    I find here that the birds take most of the edible garden fruit sadly.

    I can't remember if tinned in juice is synned? I know dried fruit is, although I still buy the lidl dried mango as has no added sugar and takes me forever to chew so I don't eat much of it.

    PIP forms have been posted this afternoon😊. We had to travel 10 miles to P.O. which has a later pickup time than our local PO. But it was completed, copied and posted first class. Phew.

    Not much else done today. I am shattered.
