Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Farway

Sun never lasted very long, back to damp & dull today, and about to rain any minute by the looks of it, no fancy moon here tonight

 Deffo don't watch Pulp Fiction then, it's full of violence and vengeance and people being very mean to each other and using bad language and all sorts. (It's great fun!) ..

Hopefully you got more done in the garden than I did yesterday Farway, I did next to nowt. Cut some brown bits off some plants, got a picture of a rose in the sunshine, cut back my berry stalk things, saw a few things that I can't decide if they're dead or dormant, and then I came back in cos that wind was a bit keen :brrr: It was sunny for a few hours though, and I was glad to see it  

Chalk up another Pulp Fiction lover here.

I'm opposite Dusty, love gratuitous violence in some films, but It All Depends, some like PF & the Kill Bill series are, IMO, tongue in cheek and modern versions of the Penny Dreadful, like Shaun of the Dead

Yesterday's gardening also came to nowt, there was also a cold wind here, and by the time erse was engaged the clouds arrived & then it rained, so went to Llareggub 

Looking out, I think Llareggub location may remain today

While searching for my Broad bean seeds, I found more tomato seeds  , I have far too many, but in my defence, some only have a couple of seeds in a packet

I found the BBs, BTW, I only want a taste, not a freezer full

Happy birthday Dusty, lang may yer lum reek

Morning all, Burn's Night tonight  
Many happy returns Dusty :clinkingglasses: :cakewithcandles: :balloons: Hopefully you'll get out today for a nice pub lunch Deffo don't watch Pulp Fiction then, it's full of violence and vengeance and people being very mean to each other and using bad language and all sorts. 

Thanks for the birthday wishes, both.    I don't exactly look forward to adding another year these days, especially now there are very few (any?) benefits.  Coming so soon after Christmas, my folks didn't make a big deal of it when I was a kid! 

I misread your first line Bluey and thought, “We haven't had many bums here lately.”    We do have a haggis ready in the fridge, but as for bums, there don't seem to be any in the picture archive sitting  unused. So, rather than dwell on being ancient, or lamenting the dearth of posterior poses, I'm going to post an image Mrs Dusty took of me on my birthday 16 years ago, not long after we first arrived here. The weather must've been similar, as I'm wet through! 

And here's a picture of the garden

This should explain why the bonfire!  The polytunnel is somewhere around here now. That's a huge pile of tyres in the background. 

So, lots to be grateful for, even if the hair's grey in '26. The top photo is temporary. It will disappear tomorrow. 

OT: Wet, mild and not encouraging. It might be wet and brighter later.

Well done on emptying your garage wort, now if you wouldn't mind coming round and doing the same for my shed, that'd be lovely let me know how the angel wings get on, I put some in the dry bit in the front and they keeled over. 

ybe, I changed my mind, remembered I had a shredder, so the pile will be coming home with me next time. Good point about freebies, and there's the caveat that if it doesn't go, stick a sign saying ten quid on it and someone will take it I'm still inwardly laughing at the house swap people. Are you over your lurgy completely now? I have a friend who is in hospital with it now. 

Dusty, does that mean the new owner of LandGrabLand may come into this knowledge via a gentle word? that is a pretty viburnum isn't it? I'm toying with making a hedge out of bay at the lotment , maybe interspersing it with something else, just because the wind is ridiculous, and I may also want to create an enclosed ish sitting area so I can admire my plants growing [ Ha! ] at some point.. Happy Birthday for your seven something day I think I'd have been doing some bodily functions if I had been on that train. Well, at least you look happy to be burning things!! You have done absolute wonders in the garden....

I'm an action movie fan, I love a bit of violence, it's my escape for my own thoughts, I see it, so I don't have to do it Predator and Aliens are my top two favourite films...And Die Hard...

Does that mean all printers talk to each other 2p? I'm beginning to wonder if the mse forum isn't a hub for printer info exchange too. Secretary prayer is spot on for a lot of occupations, and  I think a prerequisite reading for having a relationship too. I think I preferred all the little gardens that were shown in Montys thing, I mean the big ones were nice, but not realistically adaptable. the train was such an eccentric add..

Less, lovely hellebores [ adds to list...again... ] ....

The penguin joke is still funny Farway, especially when you forget it and read it again. Happy forever homes to your plants, poke them broad beans in. I think I'll give mangy tout a go this year, I like peas but they're very faffy to pod, so I'll just stick a few in for snacking on the spot. 

Went to the lotment the last couple of days  in the spaces where it wasn't raining and managed to three quarters dig the fruit cage. Came away with some spent grains from brewing so they'll be added to the raised beds [ and some to stick around the place] so a bit of digging left to do and then I can move the fruit bushes and loganberry...Can't wait to do more which is unusual ...rain, rain and more rain here interspersed with occasional sunny bits. Very windy and cold though.

Congrats on reaching seventy something Dusty, and better remove that pic quick before Farway and his cyberpal do something funny with it! (maybe invovling bums...)
