Good morning. Pale, grey and still........that's looking out of the window not in the mirror. :laugh: The sun should appear for a decent morning but forecast dull for later.

Today? Well I don't have anything which must be done. I haven't mentioned this in the house or I'll end up with a list of things which must be done.

So my plan is some seed sowing and potatoes to plant out. Need to do an Aldi dash. I'll probably clean a bike and the car.

Now then there is the strimmer problem. It has run out of wire. I have replacement wire and have already installed it three times. It isn't difficult, remove cassette-like thingy, wind on wire and replace on to strimmer. Difficult? No of course not there are only two directions one can wind the wire on. Does it ever work for me? No!! Never! No matter how careful I am something goes wrong. One of the deepest of life's mysteries to me.

..........and as for Wordle? :wacko: I've got four letters in two lines. Can I think of the fifth? Nope. Had to stop looking at it and I'll just turn it over in my mind while I'm doing stuff.
With regards yer strimmer problem. Check the spool for an arrow showing which way to wind it. Also ensure that you're not winding it backwards, against the "inbuilt" coiling, caused by winding in manufacturing.

Just put a generous dod on top and it'll spread when you're shoving it down your gob anyway! :laugh:
Is that "dod" atop the cream or jam?

I find that some of the seed sowing compost quite course .I do my first sowing of Beetroot .Cabbage’s in trays They seem to struggle to germinate Next year I will try John Innes seed sowing compost.

I used John Innes a couple of years ago and wouldn't again. Keep in mind it contains soil and can set like concrete if allowed to dry out. I'm very aware it was once an industry standard but feel it's just a marketing name these days.

This year for the first time I used peat free for seed sowing. I don't think it works and I'm buying a very small bag of peat today. Everything else is 100% peat free.
