The summer equinox has been and gone, the nights are drawing in. Come and join the countdown to Christmas 2019, thread 4!

[NoWordForFluffy]

New thread for the new month tomorrow!

Woolly, well done getting on with the laundry so speedily , the duty free helped a lot with that l am sure

Woolly, mum said the weather is now quite damp down your way. We have dry weather forecast tomorrow; hopefully you do too.

Enjoy the duty free!

It's a year today that I fell down the stairs and tore my shoulder tendon. Thank god for the NHS which has patched me up nicely!

I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy expensive spuds from eBay. Growing your own really isn't cheap!

Flouncy l am in SE Wales , Monmouthshire
I know Fluffy, thank God the good old NHS got you mended
Pity about the tatties being expensive nevermind though you know how they have been grown, organically too so it is all good

Fluffy I think tomorrow will be wet too then we have dry muggy days with temps of 30+ for a couple of days from Sunday.

Shame about the cost of your seed spuds but it seems that nothing worth while is cheap.

MrsMad I'm about halfway through the laundry. I've got pastels and whites to do but I've run out of laundry tabs until tomorrow morning. I'm my own worst enemy too as I got home yesterday evening and I stripped and remade the beds so I could collapse into a clean bed. I'm tempted to wait until the weather improves to finish off but that means I can't put the big case away until the last load goes in. I could transfer it all to our laundry baskets but that would mean everything overflows - it's all psychological really - out of sight, out of mind.

Woolly l do stupid things like that and l don't know why . Well l do because l like a nice clean bed but still

We always wash our duvet when we go away as it then has plenty of time to dry while we're away. It just needs a quick tumble to fluff it up on our return (it's down).

I'm tucked up in bed already. I'm knackered!

Emrys, Sew & Sew have closed down! Gutted.

Sew & So that is!

That is a great idea Fluffy .Have a good sleep m'dear you must be really tired

Oh no fluffy :(

Ooh another Welsh person how exciting flouncy :) I am now in S Wales but grew up in W Wales.

Morning!

I woke up too early. Boo! I needed the loo, annoyingly. [

On the upside my offer on the attached cross stitch was accepted while I was asleep.

Flouncy, you can cut large chitted potatoes in half to get more. As long as each bit has a chit you're good to go.

I ordered 2kg of Wilja spuds. Hopefully they'll arrive before we go away (mustn't order anything bulky after today!) so I can get them chitting in my absence.

Emrys, summer rain smells amazing. It's so evocative, isn't it?

I'm allotmenting today. Weeding, pulling the peas up and probably harvesting beans and broccoli. My cauliflowers aren't quite there yet.

Congrats fluffy :) Managed a bit more on my cross stitch last night while watching more Agatha. A man is coming today to build some raised beds in our garden. One I will fill with wildflowers and the other with fruit and veg :)

Afternoon everyone
Fluffy that cross stitch is lovely
Have a great day on the allotment
Em great job getting the raised beds made they will look fab l am sure how could you bear leaving WW sweetie it's my fantasy life
Flouncy l don't know how you can watch Pobl y Cwm it used to be alright but it's gone the way of all the soaps l am afraid.
Must give you all a heads up about a Welsh language serial we watched faithfully called BANG it really was excellent . It's available on iplayer as a box set now . We really enjoyed it
Been to Mum's, home now, am exhausted collapsed on sofa with a cuppa and my computer watching the athletics
Just watched Goldie Sayers finally getting her Bronze medal ahhh bless her, she was so emotional it was wonderful to see her get justice at last . I admit l cried too
Hope everyone ok and having a great day

Forgot to show you my scald today lol 😂😂😂
I am sure you wouldn't want to miss it's progress 😁
The one is with the flash on, the one without is just horrible, the elbow looks like it belongs to a horror film 😂😂😂😂
It's getting better thank goodness 🤗

Flouncy l really enjoyed PYC in the late 80's but its pants now
will look for Craith thank you m'dear !

@flouncyfanny is it this kit? eBay has loads of other ones if it's not too.

Mrs, I ache after my allotment day. As we go away next Sat until the following Sat I needed to essentially do two weekends of work. I got there at 8.30 ish and came home at 4.00, with a brief pop across the road to Dobbies for a cup of tea and some parsnip seeds! So probably about 45 minutes' respite.

Mrs, your arm looks so sore. I'm glad it's improving!

Flouncy, (not envy) re the cat sick!

We have a Dobbies in our home town which is about a 10 minute walk from the house and slap bang opposite the allotment (but still takes 10 minutes to walk due to the route you need to take!).

I was filthy from actually doing gardening and got some very bemused looks. I'm not sure that many of the people who go there often get properly down and dirty in their gardens! 😂😂

I can just about make him out! 🦔♥️
