Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Paspatur

You know the family have got the message when your birthday gifts are a wheelbarrow, a compost sieve, unbendable hand tools, seeds and bulbs and plants

Congratulations Pas - that's quite an achievement. I hope you had a lovely day, and many more using enjoying your gifts

Happy birthday, Pas. That's a great list of tools. Mrs Dusty has nearly worn out her second birthday wheelbarrow, so she could be up for a third soon. She has all the luck!

Back over the page, that's a fine photo and castle you have there, Arb. There must be worse venues!

Hope a certain person survives being ghosted. Odd paranormal events occurred yesterday on MSE. Glitch in the Matrix, probably. If there's an alternative reality unfolding, hooray; I'm done with this one!   

Meanwhile, back IRL, half my tomato seeds are planted, as are some perennials.I don't have to plant any of these though; they rise naturally!

Not an alternative reality (I don't think), but nearly sure it was a glitch in the Matrix. I was about to post yesterday and the comment box turned red with a message saying 'nope, no more from you, you Don't Learn' or summat. Didn't half make my stomach shrink   Maybe seed-bombing is more controversial than we realise.... or maybe the pole people have shares in mse   Anyway it all appears to be back to normal now so let the nonsense resume   

I wouldn't mind being Gertrude actually. You could let yourself go and have an erse like a barn door and no-one would know it wearing that dress  

That's a cracking view Arb, hopefully you've got good weather this morning for a good long walk round  

Happy belated birthday wishes Pas! Lovely that your people understand you eh, that's a pleasing present haul. What kinda seeds did you get...? No they're the wrong ones, you need big handfuls of the ones I've got here   

OT umm all a bit nothingy out there. They say it's 6' but the murk is taking the heat out of it. No wind, no sun, no sunrise, just lots of thick white clouds. I'll take it over bitter wind and freezing rain like wot the Beast from the East brung us.

Happy Birthday Paspatur - sounds like you've received some perfect pressies   

Lovely pic, AR, looks 'Welsh' to me??

An equally lovely pic from Dusty. I think I get clumps of them around the pond, but just tiny wee things.

I saw some yellow plants/weeds yesterday that looked a bit like dandelions, but weren't. I couldn't take a pic (no space left on my phone), but I've deleted a load of photos this morning so I'll try today.

I have no idea what was going on yesterday and today with the cryptic messages on here - I feel like Father Dougal off Father Ted   

Lovely sunny morning here, but still a bit chilly.

Paspatur

Thanks all for the birthday wishes, just need some decent weather now to play with my new toys!

Yep, we alternate between Cardiff and London for events/meetings - I'm equally far away from both but no-one seems that inclined to come up North for some reason

Looks like it's your turn to have the tom forest this year then Pas ha haa!

Morning folks, blue sky but chilly here.

Happy birthday PAS, nice castle, thought for a moment it was Chester but wrong again!

Welcome back Blue, from wherever you were spirited to

Gardening put on hold for a moment, the volunteer place I run a website for, the website host was free, no longer to be the case, so it's upheave time as I try & remember dusty bits in back of brain.

Talk of tom seed sowing, I may get some of mine in soon, just a wood, not a forest. I've grown the ones in bold. Sunrise & Outdoor I still grow, but I don't think this year now I'm trying to cut back
