Morning @alp, yes a bit of a gloomy financial outlook for us all

If it's the Daily Mail that says that, don't believe it.

All newspapers have agenda and DM has quite a few hideous ones, just as the others and it's down to us to sieve the info. I wouldn't endorse all their views.

They are all much of a muchness......take what they all say with a pinch of salt. They all try to outdo each other with sensationalized headlines. We don't have any daily papers.

Morning @alp, yes a bit of gloomy financial outlook for us all

Yes, save your pennies but live your lives happily .. No point saving all the money and have no fun. We are very lucky living in a half civilised UK. I saw Judy Judy ordering this woman to pay for her adopted daughter's medical bill of $1600 or £2600 as she fell ill visiting her son. The woman got paid £1100 every month for the adopted daughter, and now she said, "I am not going to pay for it!" even though she was ordered to do so by Judge Judy. Aren't we lucky to have NHS? All they need to do is to do away the expensive executives and put a ceiling price to the drugs charged by Boots or other suppliers. Sad that so many malpractices are deeply entrenched .. Off to take the photos now. Hope everyone has a rewarding day, be it dusting like Upsy, moaning like me or switching switches like Logan..

No dusting today @alp!!
Desperate to check out all the plants that are over wintering , but scared to ' open up ' the greenhouse and coldframes.....need to keep them all snuggled up

Have a good day!

Its been snowing on and off most of the morning, not much to do today. Might go out and play in the snow I made some snow sculptures a few years ago .

 

[Logan]

You should heard me cackle! No, we are allowed to slip a day or two, especially when you have to see your dad, your brother and dust the house ..

Something to cheer me and you up. After £4 of sunflower hearts, here are MY birds

I had to film them inside my lean-to as if I opened the door, they would just vanish and I didn't want that. But hey, MY BIRDS!

I have come to the conclusion that sunflower hearts is the way forward after observing the contest amongst various bird food. Have to say tits like fat balls.

Another thing to cheer me up :

After 6 days, my melon seeds (galia or yellow) have sprouted radicles.

Also the cosmo cupcakes have sprouted very happily

Just potted up all the Condonopsis Clematidia, (a bit of delay seeding them, so sorry, but at least I am starting it earnestly), Firebird Echinacea, delphinium lilac, some purple/magenta seeds from S*****t. more clematis durandii (hopefully).

Hoping for another 6-day miracle!
