I've an old-fashioned sack truck, a barrel truck, they call them in the USA. It has big pump up tyres. I use it for moving 50ltr bags of...
Cut right down a dead azalea in the main border, spread out a couple of branches of the two either side to close the small gap. I kept the...
Hmmm... When have I heard that before? Oh Yes! It's something that I often say and then another idea comes into my head and I start all over again!
Strange isn't it? Colombia is pretty much in the same latitude as England. We've not seen snow in many weeks. Today in the garden it was sunny and...
Fine and quite warm today, but too wet to do anything apart from a check round. Pleased with the progress of these lily of the valley, near the...
Got the big drill out this afternoon and attacked patio drain holes. Got it finished before it rained.

I do tend to make my mind up quickly and act upon it. We have these two weathered concrete planters at either end of the patio steps, we must...
Replaced all the pipe insulation of the new heater's pipe work. Where there's an in-line lever tap, you can cut a little hole in the insulation...
Clear blue sky. 5c, even warmer in the sun. As the roses are showing a bit of growth, I gave them a spray of Sulphur Rose. It's a bit early, but I...
Changing the subject slightly, but it touches on "simulation." I'm watching tennis from Indian Wells on my laptop through a free streaming...
Most people want to look their best, but sponsors look for attractive women. A recent example is Emma Radacanu who won the US Open two years ago,...
I gave up watching Eurovision when "tactical voting" came in. That was over twenty years ago.
