DJ360 6,721 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Today I planted some late spuds, carrots and a bit of coriander..since my indoor coriander pot got infested with some small aphid/thrip type bugs. I also have Tomatoes, vine, cherry and beefsteak on the go. I'm going to plant some Cavalo Nero and maybe beetroot tomorrow if I can get seed. All a bit late.. but then Spring was late..  And I need to cut the grass tomorrow.  Other things happening here too. More to report tomorrow with luck..  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willow wilson 894 Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Congrats DJ and family. New baby in families, been happening since forever but, for me, never loses its wonder and seeing one's own children have and raise their's is special. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAN FINN 807 Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I am sure you are just as wonderful to other kids Beekay as you would be with your own. My grandson was born with a diaphramatic hernia he had 5% chance of survival he was in an induced coma for 3 months in Edmontons Stollery Hospital which is about 800 miles away they airlifted by air ambulance the minute he was born it was a miracle he survived, he is now 16 and going for his driving test next month. The only lasting problem he has is he is partly deaf as a result of the medications he took, life is so precious. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,599 Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 We‘ve put the heating on for a little while this evening primarily to dry the washing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,279 Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 A very satisfying day today  Finished the last part of the courtyard project. The rear courtyard took some doing - had to level 32 m2 and lay 1600 blocks, half of which arrived last Thursday. The other half had to be lifted and power washed. Looks great. It was a pleasure to return the whacker and have a clean up this afternoon. Enjoying a beer at the mo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure I read that one of our members, who had a bit of a health scare recently, had learned to take things a little easier......  Ah well musta bin wrong 'n' imagined it...  It's me age you know... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,894 Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Yes I saw that too but I have a sneaky suspicion that it was PP. Naughty, naughty. Just you be careful, do something less stressful like sending us a pic to see your hard work.But NOW sit down have a beer or two and enjoy your new courtyard. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,279 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Easy day today so started by the usual 30 min bike / 30 min rower. Learnt not to train on heavy work days. Just tidied up the site and formed a concrete run off from the paviors - just a couple of shovels of mix so no big effort. Still had my beer though 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
