      Good day everyone

      @shiney it sounds like the harridan must have been equally disagreeable with others so as to have provoked her dismissal. What goes around...

      I have a day of mundane tasks to perform, washing the pixie dust from my jammies and other laundry items, tidying, etc and it is wonderful to be busy inside because it is cold, cloudy and chilly again out there.

      I will also be running some errands this afternoon and pick up the few items I believe I will need for Tuesday - the supposed last day of frost for my area. I need to work with my boiler iron system and will do so on the weekend so as not to have to pay the highest rate for powering it. And they aren't kidding about the last frost date. We're expected to be in the 30's f , Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights then the lows are guessed to be in the low 40's on the more severe nights. And it might snow on Sunday during the day :yikes:

      Have a safe and warm day :)

        Aloha everyone,

        Still dark out there but I've been doing a bit of tidying up by moonlight until it disappeared around 3.30 but the sky started to lighten up with predawn light :) The birds were singing away and three robins followed me everywhere. :wub2:

        I got a lot done in the garden yesterday and it's starting to look tidier. Runner beans (in greenhouse) are just popping their heads up. Sown 300 so far, so shall do another couple of hundred today.

        Time for :coffee: and to watch the results of the polls.

        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

        Aloha!

                    @Snorky85 I hope your legs get working OK :grphg:

                    All I was doing in the garden was clearing some rubbish from behind the shed so that we could put newer rubbish in its place. :loll:

                      Good day everyone
                      @shiney what is an SS politician? I couldn't put a rating as there is no symbol for "don't understand" :)

                      Been cutting fabric in anticipation of the weekend's work.

                      It is still steadily raining. I am so glad I got the cellar sealed last year. Everything is nice and dry down there. I believe our cellars are a little different than yours over the pond. Our cellar is the same square footage as the house and has 8 foot ceilings. A dandy place to store lots of stuff, grow things and still have room for the grandchildren to bounce around, watch television and play board games. :)

                      My rain barrels are pretty much overflowing. Wish I had more containers. Now I'm also wishing that I had of put together the extra pump and receptacle to pump the water into the irrigation going into the cold frames. Note to self: get off yer bum lori and get it done!

                      Have a safe and dry day everyone :)

                        It was a ship. In 1941 it went down just off the coast of the island of Eriskay in the outer Hebrides with 28,000 cases of malt whisky on board. The islanders 'salvaged' them.

                        It was the incident that the book and the film 'Whisky Galore' was based on.

                        Book by Compton Mackenzie.

                        1949 film starring Basil Radford (character actor in over 50 films), Joan Greenwood (famous film star and stage actress), James Robertson Justice (brilliant actor in over 100 films including play Lancelot Spratt in the 'Doctor' comedy series) and Gordon Jackson (Mr Hudson in Upstairs Downstairs, George Cowley in The Professionals etc.)

                        Film remade last year with general release later this month.

                        Your sorry you asked!! :rasp:
