You certainly know how to live life in the fast lane, dontcha Rog ! Tired me out just reading your post.

Still raining here and my weekly injection hurt like hell this morning ! Looking forward to snooker this afternoon.

Got to keep busy Barrie or else Mrs P will find me some decorating to do, much rather be outdoors

Waltons are pretty big in the shed world. They make a sheds for other companies under different names. Just looked on their site. 8’x6’ seem to be from £360 upwards

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

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.

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

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!

not the best end to the day, me shed telly is broke, I was listening to a cd and had to pop indoors for sommat so set the cd to "Pause"  forgot all about it til a couple of hours later so the telly was waiting for the cd to play again which it didn't so it gave up in the end, blank screen with no activity equals busted, oh well looking around now for another shed telly. hope you've all had a better end to the day than me

Hey up @plantfit, yes, I enjoyed what I did yesterday, but alas, I won't be doing it today.  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.......

Barrie, send me a pic of your toms and I’ll let you know what to do next. Mrs Buttercup.
