2025 - What I did today

Won't he "go" in the garden? If I wave a poo bag at Ted and take him down the garden he usually  Poo-duces the goods! Very obligingly, he will also sniff & stare at anything he may have done when I wasn't around to oversee him. I'd much rather clear up in the garden than grovel around in public.

Unfortunately he won't go on garden for some reason? He has his favourite spots for 'sniffing' and his spots he likes to poo. He always walks for at least 15 minutes before poo'ing ( as he just has) and mainly poo's in the woods or hedgerows.(which I still pick up of course)

We used to have a Wire Fox Terrier he would never poo in the garden, a bit of a pain when the weather was bad.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for you, Vinny.

Moved around the unallocated pots in the pot waiting room. Staked and tied up the eucalyptus that’s insisting on laying down. Weeded 2 beds. While Bob hunted down a car radiator fan (all will be revealed soon). Then he had to go sort out water supplies at 2 houses in the village. So still no work on the house.

Tried to get in the Festive spirit by potting on some Christmas cactus cuttings - one of which has a flower bud. They've been lurking in the GH for months.

I need to try a bit harder on this Festive thing - maybe digging out the Christmas tea towel will do it.

The only gardening thing I'm doing today is picking some parsley

I've been in the GH - sorting potatoes - the free ones from yesterday. I could smell a rotten one so had to find it.........and I did!. The Lidl ones were mostly OK but I picked out any damaged ones to use first.  All OK spuds are spread out in the GH to dry off before being put in sacks for store. 
I had to shuffle pots around so that I could make space on the bench for sorting. It was nice to be in there - dreaming of what to sow first, what was growing underground in the pots and whether to pick something for my lunch.

Prepared vegetables for tommorows dinner. It's a long time since I have actually cut up vegetables and I could hear them screaming when I attacked them with a knife!
