Varnished the garden bench and bay window supports, followed by the purchase of 3 bags of compost for a tenner and some seeds. Tomatoes, peppers and chillies. Cosmic.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Interested to know where you got your compost? Did you get it online or local? Seems it’s not a ‘necessity’ and so I’m having a little trouble sourcing some?Dodgy knees wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 7:21 pm Varnished the garden bench and bay window supports, followed by the purchase of 3 bags of compost for a tenner and some seeds.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Been cycling on some basic trainers for 30 minutes a day but chaffing has stopped that this week, so it was back to a 30 minute run this morning! Seems I use more energy running than cycling, so clearly I’m a bit lazy on the bicycle......
As for losing weight not sure why it’s creeping on but I’m guessing it’s my age. I barely eat anything, don’t drink alcohol but it makes no difference.

Our village garden centre doing click and collect. I phoned them up, paid on card, drove up and they put them in car for you. All safe and secure with no lightning strikes.WelshDragon wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 8:57 pmInterested to know where you got your compost? Did you get it online or local?

Compost is essential for growing tomatoes.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Great thanks! I’ll see if our local smaller ones are doing anything similar. Looked at Wickes and Homebase but they were ‘not available to order’. I agree I need some for my runner beans!Dodgy knees wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 10:15 pmOur village garden centre doing click and collect.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Strange day. Woke up for my 0600 checkin with lads on duty, stayed up for the 0730 phone conference. Did some work but ran out of things to do, and enthusiasm to do it.
Drove to town to click n collect from Tesco.
Then drove across to visit my Dads grave as it’s 19 years ago today.
Got the ok from my landlord to build some decking at the top of the garden so I can sit in the sun.
Sent both my sisters a photo of the grave as neither of them has ever been there!!!

39 years married today.
Obviously any celebrations/restaurant etc are on hold,so like lots of other folk 'twas a pretty ordinary day in lockdownsville.
I did use my Lansky to sit in the afternoon sun and sharpen a load of kitchen knives,in the spirit of things yanno.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Well, cleaned down in and outside of not used very much greenhouse, spiders didn't know what day it was. Put compost in seed tray things, then put one seed in each bit and sprinkle over with a bit more compost. Gently water and job done.
Helped my lad put his newly delivered hybrid bike together, very nice it is. De-stapled cardboard box ready for bin men, give them no excuses.
So, looking forward to some home grown salad stuff later next week.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Having cleared out and tidied the garage, I found that I had loads of left over wood from removing the massive old work bench.
Decided I might need some extra bench space so I bought myself a sliding mitre saw and have set about building a foldable work bench. Got most of it made up so next phase is to install it,and for that I need a trip to B& Q ..

Re: What have you done today thread?
I sold my SH300 today.
End of a 10 years era! I'd recommend one to anyone looking an 'always ready to use' machine.

Got up at 5am after not much sleep. Sorted some "Alfresco" issues for a user and now thinking about coffee number two.
