Good luck with setting it up Piper. xxx I might try a lap top out. Hugs xxx ;-)

Afternoon Piper.  Hope you get those clouds sorted, once you do it right it will be simple, hopefully. I had a problem with clouds when I did paint by numbers, I just couldn't see the numbers even with a magnifying glass, so did my own, which was dreadful really.
You wake up early don't you Piper. will be harder for you to adjust, I love my last hour lie in of a morning, but this morning I was lying there just fretting about stuff. you know like the three o' clock wake up call. ugh. Was glad to get up in the end.
My grandson's birthday today and Luke and James wedding anniversary. So many birthdays. lol Hugs Piper. No idea what a 'frost blanket' is. xxx ;-)

Fruiting Dust has been sprinkled on the Poppy, which will now be ready for harvest in approximately 23 hours, 58 minutes!

Nan's internet not working. x

I put some stuff on ebay to sell, but to get into the account is a mission, no idea how I would fair using a mobile phone. lol
Wonder if you could put some washing line posts in the ground and then get some sheets of wire and attach to the posts to stop the deer, then you could still see your tree. Then again it would have to be circular to go around. lol or fence posts.
I have so much carboard to burn, the shopping arrived and so much dashing around I forgot about it. I tried to order sugar yesterday, 1 kilo, they only had caster sugar or 500g bags which were £2 each bag, I only pay just over a £1 for a kilo, anyway they had a 5 kilo bag for just over £5 so ordered that, they sent a substitute, 10 bags of organic at 500g £20 lol So was a lot of fiddling about. They will give you the difference next time you shop with them by sending a voucher, but think it's time sensitive.
  I wish it would rain then I could burn the cardboard while it's daylight, do not fancy doing it in the dark with all the fireworks flying around.
We have the dingles at the end of our road and wild garlic grows there, so many pick the garlic for cooking. lol
Good luck with your planting Piper, and shovelling. Some times it's good to shovel and other times... ugh.  Hugs Piper. xxx

Tomorrow, Rhian is coming round and we are going to get the old dog cages from the bottom of the garden, was using them for bug houses with old wood.  but need to fill them with the cardboard stored, and hopefully burn the lot on bonfire night, some dreadful sounds of fireworks, much louder than it's been since I was a child. xxx Cages are to try and contain the flames a bit, but will have the hosepipe ready at hand. Glad you got some gardening done Piper,  Everything is just a mess this year, with all the recycled stuff here. The other day my grandson broke his double bed, and council not taking anything at the moment. lol xxx

Thank you Piper, my girls and son, and in front is Luke, Scott's son. xxx He's my oldest grandson, will be 37 this month. xxx ;-)

Fruiting Dust has been sprinkled on the Flora Formicidae, which will now be ready for harvest in approximately 6 days, 11 hours!
