plantfit 7,661 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I'm going to have to buy one the old one is looking very tired (understatement) it's the one I keep the vintage cycles in as well as the pressure washer and strimmers, the original base timbers are in good nick so a new 8x6 would drop straight onto them, anyroad I decided to spray the fence today instead of in the morning, apparently we have a new cooker being delivered tomorrow between 08.30 and 12.30, knowing my luck it will be 12.30 and I would have wasted a morning waiting for them, at least I got the fence done and tomorrow I can get on with a bit of work in the house as well as a bit of reading my book, Oh well onwards and upwards as they say Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,222 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I see that Walkers of Trowell have closed down due to retirement. That will be a loss to the shooting and fishing community. I used to visit regularly. I bought my Theoben Rapid 7 .22 air rifle from there but I’ve not been for some years. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,661 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Used to go there a lot in the 70's/80's, all good tackle, they even had their own "casting pond" out back where you could try out a new fly rod before buying, the place will be a loss to field sportsmen and women Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,222 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I bought my first fly Rod direct from Hardys. I practiced my casting on the field at home but when I took it to Ladybower for its first proper outing the tip section snapped in half! I’ve got all the fly fishing kit but it’s ’dead man’s shoes’ to get into any of the fly fisheries round here. I prefer Scottish Lochs to disused gravel ponds anyway!

It's absolutely persistently p♤♧♧♤ng down with wet stuff. So, as a diversion I'm going to try and repot my little tomato seedlings that seem to be doing well after nearly two years wrapped in kitchen paper. Don't have clue what I'm doing, but they're now touching the top of the cover so have to take action ! Wish me luck comrades !! I'm going in.......

PeverilPeril 3,298 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 I did the usual indoor bike ride and row this morning - keeps me fit but I would love to get out on the road again. Since loosing the sight in my left eye and being deaf it just feels too dangerous. Thinking of taking the bike up to Carsington to ride a circuit on the cycle path. Started to clear the old shed out today - 'found' all sorts of stuff! Don't make cider anymore so lots of plastic barrels, containers and crates to dispose of. Found all the parts for the rowing trike that I built (see avatar)...hmmm, maybe I should get that back on the road? Found lots of dead stuff to dispose of. Dead chainsaw, mower, wheeled strimmer, submersible pump and barrel pump, 2 electric outboards and a pile of old bike bits. Pity that Rog dosn't live a bit closer! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRS B 546 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 12 hours ago, Beekay said: Cheers Pal. Barrie, looks like they have been enjoying your house environment and “bolted” a bit. I only keep the covers on till the seeds have germinated. Would suggest putting each seedling carefully in a 5 inch pot with new compost and putting somewhere cooler if you can. Hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,220 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Already done that Mrs.Buttercup x. Iv'e put them outside though, in a sheltered space that will get some sunlight, till they're ready to repot. Hopefully I might get one to grow. Not really too worried though, it were just something I wanted to try and see if they would germinate. Don't have a clue what variety they came from. Will keep you posted. Many thanks for the advice.xx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
