    Nothing today. Just dodged the rain to get my tea from the veg patch.

      Not too bad thanks FC. :) I'm not in pain as such but feel as if I've been running up and down stairs for a day, it seems I've pulled muscles at the front of both thighs. :doh: Hopefully they will ease off in a couple of days.

      No scotch, even when I did drink years ago I couldn't stand it, just to smell it put me off. I'm teetotal by choice, I just don't like the taste of it anymore. :)

        Fair play to you Sheal - no point drinking it if you don't like it :)

        I'm a coffee fiend myself, although rarely after 3pm - its either fruit juice or tea after that. I'm just having a cuppa and a ginger snap or three in the hope it will fuel a wee fire overnight and see if I can shift this cold that seems to be intent on settling on my chest.

        Ooooo I like ginger snaps, I'm feeding my face with bourbons at the moment, it's nice to have some comfort food! ;) I hope your cold gets better soon. I swear by Lemsips or Beechams powders at night, dries everything up and helps sweat it out in bed. :)

        I'm not sure what, if anything, I can get away with taking on top of my prescription tablets so I'll live in the hope that the ginger snaps and tea do their thing. I'll live - its certainly not the worst cold I have had.

            Its curry Friday in the canteen, so will try that tomorrow lunchtime - failing that, I will have to try and sterilise the blighter with Bacardi over the weekend :biggrin::biggrin:

                Yesterday I put a brick edge along the grass border to my herb bed.

                Today I hope to test it's lawnmower holding abilities as I cut the grass, weather permitting!

                  I have had backache for some time now and just about getting fit again so only tending to my fuchsias today dead heading and any that are passed flowering shall prune back and prepare them for winter.

                  Getting delivery of a new arch today for my Varigated honeysuckle to climb on to.

                    Get well soon wishes to @Sheal @fat controller and @Scotkat

                    Gardening today was more from a camera lens and picking out a few weeds. Tomorrow is forecast warm and dry so I hope to be seed collecting :dbgrtmb:
