Morning folks got my Swan Lake climbing rose through the post and it looks ok and healthy so planted it up. I have lots of vertical surfaces to 'clothe' so think i might make roses a dominant theme but wont be doing that in a hurry unless i can grow a money tree Not looking forward to the tourists arrival many of the responsible ones are staying away because of the current crop of littering/befouling morons...

Nice and sunny outside.
We have ordered our son's new Garmin watch for his birthday , so a bimble out on the bike to Argos in Finchley Central later on to collect it.
Then, a trip to a garden centre at some point, I want to buy 20 or so geraniums for the front garden.
Another busy day in paradise.

Morning all

Happy Human Sacrifice Day.
Off for a bit of shopping this morning, a look around a Bronze Age hill Fort and lunch in the Red Lion at Stiffkey (pronounced 'Stew-key ).
Weather forecast is looking OK for the next couple of weeks.

Same here. Mostly dry for a decent spell, if not exactly warm.

Aldi dash done.... got everything we needed apart from milk. For some reason they rarely put 1 pint semi skimmed on the shelf.
Hardly any cars on the roads....the road that is always rammed, not a single car.
I HAVE to go out shortly to sort the aunties money out.......why oh why did I ever agree to it

Aargh - multiple emails woke me up after 4.5 hours sleep. I was in the middle of some weird dream and now I feel like I am in the twilight zone!

Another collection code was in my Deleted folder. I will stroll down to pick up both parcels, and some shopping. My brake levers will be coming later so I want to be in for that, having totally forgotten to rediect Prime to one of the local lockers, as promised yesterday!

And now yet another email...

No point in trying to get back to sleep now. I will do my errands, and have a snooze at lunchtime.

The plan after that is to rebuild the front of my bike. If the brake levers arrive early enough I will be able to get a test ride in in sunlight.

YYawwwwwwwwn...

Oh, and my phone is now putting double capital letters at the start of each new paragraph! I missed the extra 'Y' in that yawn...

Good morning. We have that most rare of occurrences, sunshine, on an Easter Weekend, usually, it snows or, at least, rains!

I do hope @Dirk 's weather forecast is correct, we are away in motorhome on Tuesday for 2-3 weeks.

I remember as kids going to roll our Easter eggs having everything from mini heatwaves to cold, wet, windy and even snow.

Maybe I shouldn't have shopped as a slab of iced gingerbread jumped into my basket. Just had a slice with my cuppa.

I remember a trip to Warwick Castle when our lads were small, we were intending to go in the morning but had to wait until the afternoon before going out because it was snowing.

Well here we are at the garden centre. We got here at 9.15, and it's already very busy. MrsP is on a mission to get some grey terracotta pots to match the brickwork on the driveway.
Many plants bought for hanging baskets and bedding. Just have to be careful of any late frost.
