The temptation was just too much ..

I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow .. wish me luck! Off to find something for this cold which seems to have developed in the past couple of hours and tuck meself into bed

 

Good luck Auntpol! A nice hot toddy is what you need.

 

Groan, up all night coughing and sneezing!

At 1am I put the thrift seeds into soak figuring that they would be ready by the time I woke up but then didn't fall asleep till gone 6am. Woke at 9.30, put the kettle on and got the tub of soaking seeds.

And then thought how am I supposed to do this? I tried sticking my finger in to pull them out one by one but they just stuck to my fingers lol. Finally very carefully poured away the water till there was just a little in the bottom with the seeds and then tipped them on a wad kitchen paper. Managed to pick them off one by one and sow them fairly evenly. Phew!
