The ground is still a bit cold for planting where I am, nearly there though. Planning tomatoes in poly this weekend where the winter onions are looking mega, the outdoor winter onions are looking ok and the purple sprouting that should be coming online now is nearly finished. It's been a funny old winter.
Fooking pigeons have necked all my caulis leaves and marmalised the winter cabbage. Theres big flocks of the bleeders around.

kill em and eat em  still too cold for tomatoes etc,been a strange winter here too.  

I do but that will have to wait until July now and the finish of breeding and the first corn being cut. There is no close season on pigeon but I impose one on myself as do most people that shoot.

Off to town on my bike, bacon and eggs with a pot of tea in my favourite cafe then off feckin about and visiting friends.

Kitchen/dinning room finished, main living room just decorating needed. (waiting on wife to make up her mind.)

She will change it half way through.

I suppose that's the best way. Sow/plant enough stuff to feed yourselves and the wildlife then everyone's happy. Well that's how I see it.

Just taxed the car. Was going to tax it off-shore but the office in Mombasa is closed today.

Should have gone to the Isles of Scilly!

Just spent an enjoyable hour checking out Glass Magic Lantern Slides on ebay. Some nice ones including Plymouth Hoe scenes, Drake's statue and Spooners shop.

Bought seven tomatoes (usually plant 18to 20) six have been killed by frost.

The wife had a early cup of tea and the morning paper in bed this morning.

Finishing touches to the sitting room before with have the carpet laid.

Wall lights to go back up, change the double sockets, mirrors surround for the light switches, put together a radiator covers.

We are having a few days off next week, going to Weston super Mare.

Lovely morning. Gonna cut, aerate and then overseed the lawn. It needs some TLC.

We have only 2 spare toilet rolls in the house.

Just driven across the Moors from Lustleigh to Plymouth via Postbridge. Beautiful day, incredible scenery, and a large variety of animals and birds on or around the roads.

In unrelated news, I'm having roasted Pheasant for lunch tomorrow. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
