Fork Handles

I had a snooze.

Nurse thinks could be anaemic as very pale & yes tired. Last time she saw me was just after Austrian holiday when had a tan & hadnt had as many doses of Herceptin. Still am in clinic soon, will be just as easy asking for a blood test there as trying to get into see GP. Then would need a practice nurse appointment to get it done & back to GP for results. Hospital will do in couple of hrs...... In the meantime shall check out my diet & continue with the vitamins.

Kate- put it up, rest. Guess you know the score. J.

It's stopped snowing here now, but still v. cold out there. Have fed birds & put stuff in various wheely bins.

The road had been gritted! Wow, now if someone would clear the pavements......

Glad you're back safe Lottie. J.

Snow coming down more thickly here now, but still nothing to what Geoff & Becks got- seen David's pic on another thread & he's not a million miles from Becks.

Daughter abandoned tring to snooze on sofa- good- & gone upstairs to sleep. Need to assemble my lunch soon as nurse due about lunchtime!

Shall walk up to local shops tomorrow, no point in moving cars around. Have just seen a gritter lorry go down our the road- wow, a first in 30yrs- but I dont think he was actually gritting as going too fast? Not going out to check.

Glad you're ok Bjay. Not the best day to do that journey. J.

Has anyone got any snow yet?

It's snowing again here West Manchester, not particularly heavy. 1-2ins at the most so far. Temperature has actually fallen again from first thing to definitely below freezing.

I have just seen a grit lorry go down our road, which must be a first in 30yrs!! Not sure it actually did drop any grit though as seemed a bit fast? J.

Oh not nice Flo. One of the slates from above our bedroom slid down one yr, so I know about the noise!!

We've only had a dusting of snow. Daughter has made it safely from SLancs to nearer central Manchester. All being well she'll be leaving after the school runs so getting home, & so to bed, shouldnt be too bad. J.

Moss - Do I dig it in?

Yes, so try to fork over the soil as much as poss. This will help reduce some of the compaction. Ok fiddly to do between plants but will help.

DONT just mulch on top of the moss without removing it first- same applies to algae- or you'll live to regret it! J.

Nothing getting done here after all. Being lazy & slobbing out in front of tv. Tomorrow is another day.

Geoff have set 'tape' for the allotment prog. 

Night all, J.

Just been out to wheely bin, yep snowing here now. OH says been on/off all day over his way & that one of his neighbours' kittens would like to visit OH's house.

Now shall I order Tesco or do some ironing? Decisions. J.

The best multi purpose compost this year

Blairs- I've never heard of nor seen it around. You are in Scotland, could it be local to there?

BTW the amount of peat & other components should be listed on the bag somewhere. J.
