I like the "consistently" - presumable meant constantly?

Isn’t it amazing how quickly the price of oil went up. I wonder what has happened to all that oil that is in transit in tankers, in storage prior to being refined, and in storage after it has been refined?

For dinner last night I roasted a free range chicken and served it with roast potatoes, carrots and broad beans (all home grown) and hispi cabbage and a mushroom/ shallot gravy, followed by a home grown apple crumble. Tonight it's a chicken leek and mushroom pie with a green veg of some sort.

The trouble is that he probably thinks that this rubbish is true - perhaps he read it inside a Christmes cracker?

Much better. I'm being good and doing the physio 3 times a day. Mostly it doesn't hurt, but standing upright and bending the knees is a right bugger. Another 3 weeks before I can start thinking about driving.

Having been confined to the house for the last 3 weeks recuperating from knee replacement surgery, I am in complete agreement with the cats. We have had only 2 days when it has been dry enough to venture outside for walk.

Whilst looking for something else (which I did not find) in the kitchen cupboards I did find a jar of French Moutarde verte a L'estragon. On close inspection I found the best before date β€” 27 Jan 2009. Having managed without it for 16 years, I don't think that I'll be opening it.

I tried growing it from seed with terrible reults, very few plants at all. Now they have self seeded all over the garden, growing in the gravel path, in the cracks between paving stones, everywhere. I love it.

I had to agree with the woman standing next to me who opined that there should be no Christmes tat displayed before December 1.

Whilst collecting my newspaper this morning from our local Spar convemnience store I was confronted at the entance by a display of Advent Calendar chocolates. It's not yet Autumn, for God's sake.

Just catching up after afew weeks away. I cut back any long shoots in after flowering, and then again about now - I got back to a real tangle. I leave heavy pruning until all the leaves have fallen, then you can see what you are doing.

One of my jobs for today was to replace the guttering on the newly painted porch, but I've had to postpone it because it's bloody raining.
