Goodbye ~ Gleannmhor Quince ~

 a few weeks ago and didn't know this was to be our last ride out. you were the very best of horses. 

away today, though I knew yesterday and didn't want to say. 

greenhouse temperature and seeds

 

Here is the  new temperature guage for the greenhouse, it looks like its mild but we've a harsh wind coming from the east which is making it feel much colder... and of course its always a bit warmer in the greenhouse. 

My seeds have been ordered from MoreVeg Seeds , although any packets from last year that remain are  unsorted .... that is a plan from another day. Last years poor germination makes me think to start again with fresh seeds rather than use up the old. 

Two cats in the house now means there are frequent fights, they don't hurt each other but make a lot of noise. Hopefully they will settle down and I  do not need to keep improving my aim with the water spray bottle... its an old cleaning spray borrle labeled  'water for bad cats'. .......

I've not long finished reading the Larkin Family series, H E Bates,  and now am reading the complete works of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle,  on  my kindle, its so far been easy reading. it doesn't get too gorey or violent which are things I try to avoid. The Larkin books were purchased recently with an amazon token I recieved as a gift.... and surprised at how much it costs to have them electronically... the Sherlock one was a free download that I found in my content from 2000 and not read yet... don't know why it hadn't been read yet .

greenhouse temperature today

always milder in the greenhouse, round about 2pm the car temp was telling me it was 4c on the road. 

the barometer in the house  showing a really high pressure, the weather reports do say dry and cold into next week. 

this weather is ideal for hunting New Zealand Flatworms, six yesterday and three today. its  devastating to have them in the garden, after discovering them in the spring I have collectetd thousands this year and  drop them into a bag of salt. . over the last few years I always wondered why I would dig over the soil and never see a worm, even though I bring bags and bags of horse manure and well rotted muck with worms in it from the farm. so now its obvious why. 
 

''on blogger since December 2005''

well, the title kind of says it all. 

so in these 20 years there have been  many ups and downs. 

there are still cats. though different ones now. 

still gardening , also was a break from that for a while . 

there is no longer kayaking. I loved it so much but in that I am now a ''has been'' . 

still horses. there were always horses. not blogged about because it did not exist in 1972 which is when the learning properly started. thank you Meryl. you are much missed

started of cynical and have since multiplied that by many hundreds of percents. well done world. 

and I would like to thank Lidl for selling a one at a time cheese toasty maker. genuinley love it. 

 

plural of cat....

according to Beans, the plural of cat means there is one too many ... she just stole my dressing gown while I was doing yoga... 

 and the extra cat, that makes one too many... Lucy, she stole where Beans usually sits on the sofa.
