how to get to places without it.

Yes..... I am a Luddite!

I've tried using a phone to go places but not any more. I was going to London zoo to meet daughter during Covid restrictions. Coming off a motorway M1 or M25 can't remember onto a massive roundabout and it lost the signal. There were about 10 exits off and no clue which to take. Scribble down the route now beforehand and check any dodgy looking bits with google street-view which is very good.

Throw-vember - offered the bags of unwanted clothes and found a willing taker who was going to collect them tomorrow. Unfortunately, she's just told me that a doctor has told her to have a week's bedrest and not to drive.......so I'm going to take them to her tomorrow instead. Have to get rid of them somehow!

Shower-vember. Rained heavily most of the day -not gardening weather.
Throw-vember - 2 bags of clothes, some unwanted toiletries and I have offered a few more odd and ends on the Freebie site - hopefully some will go tomorrow.

I'm sorry Veggie, I've failed at the first hurdle, my mind's on finding, drying and identifying car bits and not a lot else. I'll try harder later on in the month.
Gardening is an excuse not to do housework

Grow-vember today. Tidied up the strawberries and took off some runners which I've planted in the former tomato pots in the GH. Once they're established I'll pot them into somewhere permanent.

Throw-vember - 16 books and a gadget for jump starting a car - all "thrown" at other people.

Blow-vember dried my washing, them it rained and turned into Rainbow-vember.

Flow-vember - the shower drain hole was blocked so I removed the trap and found something that looked like a dead rodent but was actually my hair - I should be bald by now!

Mow-vember - not really "mow" the grass but raking it away from where it didn't oughtta be.
Stow-vember - putting away books and clothes that were hanging around in the wrong place. To be fair to myself, the clothes had been washed and dried yesterday and were airing before being stowed away. The piles of books however were inexcusable!
