A Caribbean Fantasy dahlia was broken by the wind, so had to do a bit cut flowers and cuttings. Might not work, but why chuck it away?! Just weed the front. Now onto the kitchen to tidy it up.

Yes have to start early on them, got them cooking now in the pressure cooker. It's great using one, reduces the time for them.You've come early today, Logan! Hope your dogs have their walks! Could be raining your way!
Christmas pudding!?If I have to stay here, it would not be a joyous Christmas!
Yes it's raining and drizzle at times, no watering the polyanthus tonight.
Hope you do move before then.

Afternoon, ,still breezy but nevertheless it's warm, just had our dinner outside.
Been round nabbing any opened seed pods that I want before tomorrow's rain comes ( if indeed it actually does) Sort of tidied up the greenhouse....not sure hubs would call it that. but I consider it my greenhouse, he has his workshop
Now come in to read up on how certain plants need to be cared for over winter. Have to do this every year as I always forget If hubs gets to them all first.....they just get chopped!!! It annoys me to admit that they usually survive such a brutal attack. I realise this suits some plants but hubs manages to get away with it on all of them!!!. But I am still going to check it out So that I can criticize with authority

Hope I can move tomorrow, Logan. But I want to cry for the future owner!
Relocated some of my plants - Bottlebrush tree, olive and peonies all in one hot corner. Dreading the need of having to bring in Birds of Paradise as they take up so much room.
Going to roast son's spatchcock - hope they taste nice.
Ah, Upsy, you've just sneaky in.
Yes, very breezy and that's why these two diametrically different colours are slumped together! Perki, you've company! Such a shame that they flowered so late and then they got decapitated!
And they don't even look at one another - doing their own things!

Men are like that. Ex was told to prune a conifer. His late father was scandalised when he saw the skeletal remain ..
Bet he wished he could do it himself!

None of them look at the same direction. I still need to stake another one! No peace for the wicked. Now need to peel the potatoes or son will stay with his dad and won't come back!

Just finished watching West is West. @Upsy Daisy - It's worth watching, but you have to be patient. The minute the little boy, Sajid, stopped swearing, the film became a bit boring. But it is a touching film. At some point, I nearly cried for the first wife. Yes, worth watching.

It had been drizzling - and I have filled up all the extras. When I was out, it hardly drizzled. Very warm and even humid a bit. Not complaining - better than no rain or too cold. Even my 7 foot tall bamboo bowed to the wind!

Morning all and Alp, raining a bit but not cold.
Doing the last 2 of the puddings.
Done the walking hubby took Berry out, berry got into the porch and wouldn't go any further. Brought him back in and straight away took him out without any problem. Barley was already out with me so it can't be that.
Got some vaccuming to do and cook some more of the apples
Glad that you've had some rain Alp.
