Compo 10,328 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Fine day today, with a little warmth in the sun. Took advantage to strim the end of the garden; also pruned a big elder, set a short Snowberry hedge and trimmed a snowberry and fuchsia hedge. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Finished weeding the centre island in my garden and filled in all the holes made by the pesky little varmints what ate most of my muscari!!! Then sat in my apple tree to take in the sun. Glorious day today Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Fed the pond fish today. Many of the baby fish seem to have survived the winter. The three adult fish even seem to have put on a little growth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Having suffered from sciatica for the last 6 months or so, I felt quite a bit better yesterday. Went for the longest walk I have taken in a long time - not a marathon by any means, but two or three miles (without feeling that I was walking on broken glass, and my legs about to collapse under me). Nice afternoon - took the bus up to Stanton by Dale, then walked along the road to Dale Abbey. Just right - and no adverse after effects. May take a walk across Wollaton Park this afternoon. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Lit the patio chiminea, had Shropshire Blue cheese on Walkers Scottish Biscuits. Fed a robin the crumbs. Brilliant! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 It's alright for some :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Dug out two compost heaps, spread and hoed it. Refilled compost bins with loads of organic waste accumulated since last autumn. Trimmed borders, so warm, just in T shirt and jumper. Just sat down with a bottle of Sharps Doom Bar. Must get some brownie points tonight when madam gets home. I hope!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,510 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Lovely walk with dogs around Wollaton Park, good to have some sunshine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Yup, Lovely weather here in West Mids as well. It certainly lifts the spirits. We had a nice cycle ride and fed the Ducks and Moor Hens, and us as well! Plenty of people out and about, walking their dogs and just enjoying the good weather. Not a cloud in the sky....Scorchio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 We came across this road sign today, the council must have a little bit of spare paint to use up! The road finishes about 5yards further on! Oh Well you gotta laugh. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 The council are putting up a sign nearby this morning - it is blowing a severe gale and pishing with rain. I shall have to go out later and see what was so important that it had to be done in these weather conditions. Will report back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Your image was much more interesting Plantfit, I never look at one of these road signs anymore without seeing you there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Well, I have taken a look at the new signs erected by the council during a storm yesterday. They read "New Crossing layout ahead".....The new layout was completed almost a year ago! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
