Camellias and Azalea dug up and put in pots. 6 roses bought and planted in the rose garden (2 more on order, due for delivery soon). Couldn’t give away my old beer fridge, so ended up selling it for a tenner, and once it was gone we reorganised the summerhouse. Apart from that, I turned an old pair of chukkas into two bird boxes, one by the mower store, the other in the wood store. Gardening was slightly hindered by finding a wren building a nest in the log store (which I was due to demolish) and a robin building a nest in the garden tool shed, which means the forks have now been moved to another shed.

Oh, and I broke a spade digging up a rose of Sharon.

And now, pumped full of paracetamol and naproxen, it’s TFBSZ

Telly whilst dining was an episode of The Repair Shop; and after, the Secrets of the Museum thing recommended upthread. Both very enjoyable Sunday evening telly

Monday tomorrow but on the bright side, it's only a four day week

Goodnight all

CBS, warming up nicely. Glad not to be gardening today as my back needs a break.

Morning denizens

Thin overcast to start with out there today, though there's some thinner patches where a bit of filtered sunshine is breaking through occasionally; but it's expected to go back to cloudy later, with a chance of showers this afternoon. Currently 7°C but it may get as high as 16°; and the barometers are heading down again at 1004/1012mB

Morning all

Sunny out. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 17 expected. Barometer down to 1012 mBar.

Disturbed sleep - woke up a few times. Odd dreams that I can't remember.

[NickFitz]

Links are up

And once that was done I had time to pop out, so: walk briskly walked, green ring closed

I happened to run into a chap I hadn't seen in years going the same way, so ended up having a long chinwag with him until he turned off to continue on his journey home

And earlier, hasty lunch was sardine toasties

Glad not to be gardening today as my back needs a break.

Ahem… put fertiliser on the lawn (used a 14kg bag, I think that was about right), then painted the two bits of deck I made the other week (one is a square over the septic tank, the other is a short walkway), then planted a few primulas and bulbs. Garden waste day tomorrow.

Oh, and I almost lost the tip of my middle finger on my left hand in an incident with an electric planer. Finger OK but new gloves now have a big whole in one of them.

Back on the haute cuisine tonight: Cumberland sausages with chips and beans, and very nice too
