Hope you manage to get out in the garden for a bit today if that's on your plan :j Sun shone here for a few minutes this afternoon :j :j Most excitingI've got the blog address still, if you'd like it PM'd, Kc. No new posts though. And Squirrel's not been active on here for almost 2 months xBut wouldn't that make it the posh end at that juncture?
In all seriousness, when my brother drove me about on that tour of the family (genealogy) houses last year, I was shocked. On Rightmove, you can see perfectly nice interiors that would fit in anywhere in the country, but the areas ... acres and acres and years and years of under investment, so that building sites are left with piles of rubble surrounded by wire fences, main roads ribboned with closed little shops. My brother didn't want me to get out of the car, and I agreed with him.
My equvalent here down south is the town near the local airport - a whole neighbourhood of new build apartments, which look lovely. My niece was told not to buy there by a friendly local estate agent because of the drug culture there. When an estate agent says "don't buy the properties I'm offering", you're wise to take notice....2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Hope squirrel is ok. I was gutted when my diaries were deleted. Hopefully she's on holiday somewhere.

Right, I'm off out for the afternoon, so this morning, just a few little tasks - checking bank accounts, clean shopping to put away, I have SB chunnering away in the background. I'm definitely catching up on my sleep, which I'm ecstatic about.

Wow, if the EAs tell you not to buy, I'd run for the hills!
Have a great day, enjoy the sleep.0 -

Oh dear KC I quite see where you are coming from.
On a lighter note shall I bore you with my gardening to do list?
Bought and awaiting planting 4 pots mini daffodils, 2 pots of white bulbs ? name, something I had not heard of before, 20 of Pippi's white things and 4 packets of summer bulbs I rashly bought when out and about recently.
The problem bit is that I have 2 appointments today, including hair cut and colour, 2 tomorrow, 1 plus knit n natter on Wednesday and we should be going away in the caravan on Thursday, with clothes to pack, food to organise etc.
I think that I have rather overstretched myself this time:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sounds as if you have your work cut out there, maddiemay:eek:.
I haven't planted bulbs for years but maybe a delay in planting yours (if you don't manage it before you go away)won't be detrimental. The daffodils in pots should be OK until your return.
I always plant sweet peas every year from seed but what with my brother's illness and death I totally lost track of time this spring. I couldn't face not having my sweet pea fragrance fix this year and succumbed to a newspaper supplement ad last week and ordered some sweet pea plug plants which should arrive within the next couple of weeks. The weather has been so awful for so long that the beds where I normally erect the wigwams and plant them are still in a shocking state. It rained all day yesterday and my gardening plans were scuppered so I must try to get onto it this week. It's a bit early frost-wise to plant them out when they arrive anyway so at least I have a bit of time to play with.
I hope you have a lovely caravan holiday and the weather is kind to you:beer:0 -

If I'm going on my healthy walk, I should leave the house in ten minutes max. Thing is, it's not healthy, it doesn't stretch me, but still takes up time. It's a half hour potter along level paths. The walk I did with my sister on Saturday, however, was 1 and three quarter hours (ok, it was a bit much!) and quite fast-for-me (she's younger and a lot fitter).
It's a huge learning process to stop thinking "I should" and start thinking "what do I want? what is healthy for me right now?".
Plus it's drizzling :rotfl: I'm sorry to go from the sublime to the ridiculous, but its true!2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Ha, I didn't go on the healthy walk - instead, I've researched the walks that are the next step up. They'll exhaust me for the whole day, like I was on Saturday after walking with my sister, but that'll do me more good than a meaningless potter.
So far so normal: SB in the background, scanning photographs, and tidying prunings and soil in the garden (and desperately trying not to hurt any worms as I brush soil!). Then a mega change: I accidentally started to tidy up my patchwork/sewing/knitting/craftwork stash. And I've nearly done it, too. Diaries are also stored with diaries, that sort of thing. Before you know it, I'll have created enough space to actually clean *all* the floors properly And they may even stay clean. Dreams are made from these building blocks :rotfl:e.g. I can invite someone in spontaneously, I can start a project spontaneously, everything gets easier :j2023: the year I get to buy a car0
