Don thought he'd compose one himself
About Jim,  his old garden Elf
Jim had problems with the gnomes
They didn't want elves near their homes 
He always worried about their health!


Ted said - "its Monday again already
Lots to do, but I will go steady
I'll go to the cafe first 
And there quench my thirst
And maybe bump into Freddie".

Ted went and sat at a table
No Fred, but instead he spotted old Mabel

I must admit I don't do a lot of seed sowing  I  buy plugs and pot them on in a John Innes 3 and general purpose compost.

Ta muchly.  

Quote from: JBR on April 13, 2026, 10:44:11 AMI think those electric bikes are more dangerous.

Of course, we all know now that all bicycles are free to ride anywhere on the road, either side and, of course on the pavement.

Very true, JBR.

I read in the paper this weekend that there were over 400 fires last year from when those damn things burst into flames.

Same happens with some electric cars, doesn't it.
I wonder why?      
Our electrical things at home don't suddenly burst into flames do they  - fingers crossed. 

Morning, Weather's fine this morning lots of sun. Jacuzzi's are great but,these days I only go in the pool temperature one as the hot ones up your heart rate and I was told before my heart surgery to stay out of them. I am over the surgery now and I must ask if I can use the hot ones again. To be honest it's only in the Winter I use them, I prefer the cooler ones over the warm weather, but it would be good to know if I can use them.
Had to go to Dunnet this morning after my swim for a message for Dunc, seems the Smithy's phone is out of action. As you can see the weather is good.

Do you make your own compost too?
