    Aloha everyone,

    We've been keeping busy and I don't get too much chance to get on GC at the moment.

    We're getting by OK and tend to be keeping more in touch with relatives, by Zoom, than we did before.

    Keep well :biggrin:

    Aloha!

      Good day
      The skies are clear again this morning and it is cold outside. Just at freezing and it is not going to get much warmer. I'm counting the days until I can spread plants out to the unheated greenhouses and outside. The guessers say I will need to wait about 8 more days. :yikes:

      Oh well, I've got these masks to keep me busy. I don't think I'll let myself get talked into this again. Just way too much time involved. :doh:

      Have a good day and stay away from germs please :)

        Aloha everyone,

        We have a frost this morning and the forecast is for the temperature to reach over 70F during the day. i'm not sure the plants like these extremes.

        Keep well :biggrin:

        Aloha!

            @moyra It's similar to Skype (you may know of that) but more people seem to be using Zoom than Skype. They where you can have video calls through your computer with other people at no cost at all. There are some versions that do cost but are totally unnecessary for people in general and just for businesses. So when we 'Zoom' with friends or family we're sitting in front of the computer just chatting and looking at each other.

            You need a camera on your computer. We had an old one that wasn't working very well so, on a recommendation from @Fat Controller :blue thumb: we bought one that works very well and was easy to set up. It just clamps to the top of the screen and plugs into a USB port. Up and running in just a few minutes.

            If you're on a laptop I think they already have a built in camera - but don't know.

                Morning all!

                A frosty start to the day today. Glad I went out last night and put bubble wrap over a few tender bits. All seem to have survived the night.

                Have a nice day everyone!

                    Thank you. It's the last day on the shingles meds today, thank goodness!

                    Still get very tired doing virtually nothing, but last night I managed to sleep through til 6am for the first time in ages! We got some stuff sent off to the solicitors last night-a weight off my mind for now.

                    Still not heard from the police about following up on the harassment issues. That is still very much on my mind.

                    Well I've managed to get showered and dressed so going to have a cup of tea sat in the sun now. X

                        Good day
                        @shiney - braggart! It is going down to, let me find the interpretation, -3C at night here and tomorrow it is only going up to +3C . And it will not hit the Celsius double digits until late next week. Nasty!

                        @Snorky85 I'm glad to hear that the legal work is in motion and as for police - I'm sure your coppers are smarter than the ones portrayed by the Corrie episodes but I'm sure they have to tread carefully in cases like yours. They want to make sure they've got everything in order before taking action.

                        I've discovered an arc in the electric fencing so have been online looking for some new parts- insulators and polywire. Found what I think I need but will use up the reel of polywire I have left before ordering new.

                        I'll be finishing the last 110 of the outside mask pieces this morning and the main assembly will have to wait for the elastic to show up. Which also means when I'm finished these, I'll be outside playing. Yes, it's cold but it's not snowing yet!

                        Oh, and I go to pick up my wine today. :ccheers:

                        Take care all and keep your chin up :)

                              Morning all!

                              Sunny start and not as cold as yesterday. It's certainly not frosty this morning.

                              Fed the fish, fed the birds, checked in the greenhouse.

                              Got our builder/joiner chap coming to measure up for the last bit of "privacy" fencing at the front, as our car port planning app wouldn't have been approved (so we have withdrawn the app for now). Something to look forward to!

                              Have a lovely day everyone x

                                Aloha everyone,

                                Another frosty morning but quite mild now.

                                I went out at 7 a.m. to do some shopping in a local supermarket to pick up things don't were 'out of stock' in our delivery yesterday. Only five of us lining up to get in. I wore mask and gloves - and other clothes - and was out in five minutes with my 10 items. I also bought a 75 litre bag of un-named (I think it was un-named but will look later) compost at £10 :hate-shocked:. We only have three bags left and I decided that it wasn't worth me trying to shop around. I'll see what sort of quality this is.

                                I sold another 100 runner bean plants yesterday. :blue thumb: All at distancing with the plants put in the front garden and the charity box alongside - and me five metres away.

                                Keep well and enjoy your day :biggrin:
