Sunny 10c
Did some weeding and planted snowdrops that came this morning.
The bees have come out.

Hi,

Well done Logan; I've just followed your lead. I've been to the top of the garden with rake and raked over the giant cat litter tray; I've rotavated the area about five times and now most of the roots and stones are removed the soil really is top class; the soil was wet; heavy and clingy but I'm now pleased because it was surprising how many weeds were enjoying my previous hard graft. Every cat for miles around think I'm their best buddy?

I've not seen any bees but Blackies sister Gale was trying to blow me over adding a distinct chill factor but I feel better for just making the effort; I've not been in the workshop today instead I spent time washing the car this morning and just enjoyed a session in the garden. It's wonderful to see so many things I planted last year surviving and becoming established; the daffodils are well up some already in bud and the crocus are following. I planted bushes and conifers at the garden top; the conifers (Sky Rocket) appear to be OK but the Potentilla look rather sad but then they will without leaves so I've got high hopes for this year.

Kind regards, Colin.

Hi Colin, glad that you could get into your garden.
The potentilla would look dead this time of the year.

Hi,

Light rain and moderate breeze here with a high of 9C for today. Things are normal but I'm pleased to still be here to enjoy it.

Kind regards, Colon.

Colon? Who is that? It's not raining - off to do the garden

It's a new name for Colin

Hi,

Thanks Tetters and Logan for spotting my senior moment; whoops. I've been called worse Logan.

I was giddy at the thought of a full day in the workshop today wanting to dash there before I became sidetracked again; this is my excuse but I think really now aged 71 I might be losing the plot a bit? I've enjoyed a brew and a big lump of delicious cake so workshop here I come again.

Kind regards, Colin (AKA Colon).

This afternoon moderate rain and still is. Not very cold.
Sorry Colin it's this automatic spell checker, have to keep an eye on it, or it puts in something else.

Hi,

9C would be nice here today Kazz but we'll have to settle for 5C and strong wind so Gale will be with us.

No problem Logan; the spell checker at times drives me made because it can't spell; well not in our GB English but with respect and no offence it's fine in America? Once I complete a post then I always go over to check grammar and spelling; it takes a lot of time and I know I'm picky.

Normally I'd head into the workshop but it being so cold outside I didn't fancy leaving the comfort of my keyboard so I've been busy on the DIY sister site passing a bit of time away;

I'm a member of a number of forums where I like to pass time on during our long dreary winters but come summer (?) I stop being a keyboard warrior and get off my backside.

Anyone fancying a bit of DIY pop over to the DIY forum and join in.

Kind regards, Colin.
