What Jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2014..

Many years ago, I was sent to repossess a rental TV that the customers hadn't paid a penny for in months. I went into the living room, and all that was in there was two chairs, a sofa and the TV - no carpet, no curtains, now't; there was, however, a tree trunk lying across the floor with one end in the fire place, and as it burned away, a foot was lifted to push this tree trunk further into the fire place!

The worst one I had was another rental repo, and when I got there the house was in a hell of a state - not the cleanest, and as messy as you could imagine. However, there were five wee kids (probably all under the age of 10 at a guess) who all burst into floods of tears when I had to take the telly away.

I ended up back in that house later in the evening, as those wee kiddies tugged at my heart strings - I went home and fixed up a TV that I had as one of my 'loaners' (when people had theirs in for repair), and took it to the house and gave them it. It was quite clear that the family didn't have a shilling to their name, and I just couldn't be that cruel.

 

Ach, its a clean hose and its only a wee bit of cold water - all the shelves have mats below them anyway, so nothing to harm.

 

@Kristen Blimey they're bright K, looks just like daytime!

You could always have a very early present instead of a late evening one...

Sounds a promising pressie - good thinking

 

I can see a few Boeing 777's attempting to land when you switch them on, Kristen!!

 

Sowed:

5 x trays of Dahlia Pompon
3 x trays of Dahlia Showcase (the second phase of dahlias this year)
1 x tray celeriac
1 x tray of brussels sprouts

Shuffled a few things around to make space, then realised I have got a MASSIVE amount of pricking out and potting on to do. Had no option but to shift the dahlias I have coming from tubers into the greenhouse (actually hoping it will slow the blighters down a bit as they are standing nearly 12" already!)

 

Try the ASA at 800 and depending on the depth of the darkness try a 2 second shot, have a look at it and lengthen the shutter speed if needed until you get the shot you want.... after checking that the aperture is fully open

Is that the lights of a 777 I see in the top centre????

 

Finished rearranging garage, shelving, sweeping and generally decluttering. Burning waste wood (awesome as always) , cut the grass, took some pics, chilled in front of chiminea and had a cold one

 

Anything for you lol

 

Pricked out half a tray of antirrhinum seedlings - only got half done as they are so blimmin' fiddly! If half of them survive it will be a miracle.
