Been meaning to link you this, John, for some time! (A bit off topic - sorry)...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011plrs

My old business partner sent it to me recently, and it is such a pleasant and informative interlude about a much-misunderstood, but well-loved character - Syd Barrett - in Pink Floyd!

They all seemed to worship him at first, and I never realised the high esteem he had within the band until I watched this!

Stay indoors and read.  The weather is foul.
Two minds think alike gave the outside a miss.
Time is more precious than Gold
Spend it Wisely

Rain! We've had rain, so I'm going to clean the kitchen because I'm not getting down on my knees in the allotment to plant seedlings. Maybe have a bit of a weed.

Modify, we got the bit of the shed that the felt came off of covered so hopefully the rain will run off and into the gutter, all the way down into our water butts.

Done today's poetic viddy for the team.
Gonna sort tea owt.
Time to get the snips pre-chitting so will be popping the seeds into their new home.
Have a chat with the chucks and get my little pressies.
Have tea, go to bed and sleep

I am potting on some flower seedlings, planting celery plants in troughs and sowing a few bits.  All greenhouse jobs.

There is a meal in progress, but it is being done in bits, then going to work later on.

Walking around the garden, looking under pots, for snails and slugs.  Then I tread on them  :mad:
Also going to order a couple of "Tulbaghia - Fairy Star".  to go in a planter.  Mrs Bouquet

Here's a GG poem for you all and hope it gives you a laugh or something.

I wear so many hats so I get up and feed the cats
Then I make some cups of tea and watch the news on the BBC.
It's the only way that I can face
To clean up what my OH left
In my clean kitchen late last night.

As we're moving home and my garden's in a mess, 
I've just put my apron on
And now have turned my Dyson on
Just to clean up once again.

I'd love to sow a lot of seeds
But my plot is full of weeds.
And there's more washing to be done
But I can still find bits of fun
So does it matter how we do it
When we feel so low and blue?

No, it matters one jot
When you show OH how to put
His pots and plates and pans in the dishwasher.
Which might just result in a mega-disaster.
You could always apply some sort of a plaster.
Make him a cocoa and put him to bed
Then find where he's hidden the keys to his shed.

Ring up your girlfriends. "We're going to a party
And going to be ever so naughty"
When we've drunk all his beer and his wine
Then we'll all have a jolly good time!

We'll wash all his laundry on 90 degrees
And all of us will be ever so pleased
When he comes back from the pub with a massive hang-over
And he says "Oh my god! I will never do all that again!"

Then you say" Oh my lover, I'm also hung-over
But I managed to peg up your washing outside
Which seems to have shrunk, so I'm doing a bunk
With my little bit I've got on the side."
 




 
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I'm going to wait up at the allotments for another freebie compost bin to walk along the road. Someone says they want their garden back and the bins are never used. Not the sort of thing you can pick up on the bus - they wouldn't go through the door.  ;)

Other than that- have a look under the black plastic and try to see if the oldest compost heap is ready to turn into what will be the courgette/pumpkin patch.

ermmm..
Done todays poetic viddy for the lads

Now it came as a bit of shock yesterday that I discovered  :ohmy: our magic washing basket in the bedroom is in fact NOT magic! I was then whisked away into the Ladyshed and shown (forced trained) how to operate the shakey, whirley noisey machine in there so guess what todays task is  ???

Got some digging today on the plot need to get the squash bed ready, not be long before they will be popping up.

Well, I've been and done the weekly shop (ordeal over!) Time to head outside,  my lovely husband managed to get me 2 bales of mp compost and fence paint yesterday so I can pot up some of my seedlings. I also need to move the peas and beans from the house to the polytunnel now to free up space to sow more. Then I'll carry on with painting the endless fence!

I'm having a lazy start to the day, but will be going to the plot to plant out stuff.  If I have energy after that, I am going to do some gardening at home.  I got the grass cut in the back yesterday afternoon and some weeding done, but the front needs a tidy.

There is chicken defrosting for a roast dinner later, so some gentle kitchen activity will follow to round off the day  :D
