Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Sorry to hear that Less. If it's the one I got the brain fog usually comes later. It's all an adventure as to what will hit you next.

There were crocus there. 😄

I wish I could control this double spacing 😏

No double-spacing here. I don't stand for that sort of nonsense!

The hens won't go in until the light falls to a certain level,🐔 so I notice exactly when it gets dark. It was 17.35 when I locked their door and came indoors last night.

Apart from the usual chores, another 5 barrow loads of soil and compost went into the deep bed, I also started digging the next one, tweaked the hedgehog boxes and inspected the estate. No trees fell down during Ingrid. 🏝️

I believe there were crocuses in one of 2p's pictures, Less, so no apparent brain fog in your lurgy. It's unfortunate you've succumbed after getting this far through winter.🤧 Being realistic, I expect to catch something, but maybe not until after an event I'm prepping for in early February. Then, I'll relax, the macrophages will take a holiday and then, bingo, runny nose, lethargy, and probably land requisition papers for the war effort too! 😧 Yes, we can do mangelwurzels. Red or white? Sorry, no blue.😛

Speaking of Blue(ey) she asked if our dead tree could be turned into a sculpture. I think not, as it's elm and therefore tough as old boots, but here's one I snapped earlier, in 2009.
