Well, got up nice and early, 2nd child got a job cleaning in a nursing home. Quite looking forward to it so fingers crossed even though that now means no lie in for saturdays and sundays for a while, unless she passes driving test - must book lessons.
When to a plant nursery auction today, wanted to stop farm looking so barren. Should have gone prepared and taken the truck and trailer, instead took my lovely disco and guess who had to stay behind with remaining plants that wouldn't fit in car? After freezing butt off for 2 hours plant guarding the hero returned for remaining plants and myself. I did feel sorry for him as he had to unload car at other end. We had some great bargains - apart from the plants that someone stole. You bid on lot ,when auction over you pay in office, take payment invoice and load up your lots, sounds simple but we have to remember that not everyone is honest, some folk come to auction buy at beginning pay and leave, but guess what? They leave with your lots too. Yes ladies and gentlemen folk steal. The thieve leaves with your plant/s and is at home grinning from ear to ear regarding their success meanwhile bargain hunters freeze butt stay till end of auction and find plants missing, However one perpetrator, didn't get away quickly enough and we reckon returned 4 missing conifers because they heard us shouting a lot, suddenly they reappeared. We did get a refund and the remaining missing plant was a lot of 5 conifers which we really wanted as we wanted fast growing windbreak type stuff to well to use as a windbreak. Anyway hero unloaded second car load and i'm having a quick break and a cuppa, then as a treat all family members having supper in local hostelry, nice log fire and real food, what could be better, such a rubbish weather day chickens already gone to bed so nice and safe from foxy loxy.
Just remembered got to get up early to take no 2 to job, o well worse weather to come tomorrow so planting of lots delayed for a couple of days. By the way for all gardeners out there i found out today you do not plant magnolia trees in lime based soil and don't water them with tap water as it contains lime. Sorry won't make habit of being cocky but don't really retain much in head.

Hi Frankie by the sea,
You must have very green fingers!
Ha! I say. Reached writing deadline, no, not really. Just been busy with other stuff and not had second to spare and when I have, been too knackered to go on and even think about blog.
Hoping to put a rocket up my arse this coming week and work like a maniac.
Ha ha ha LOL, just realised who you are FRANKIE! cheeky mare.
