Today's theme in the photo challenge is "comfort", so here is Paul Bear and Derek Bear

I've had Derek Bear since I was seven, and he is looking a bit worn. But he still gets a cuddle every now and again.

Right, that's all me veggie-related matters sorted for today.

Have planted two types of french beans, pointy peppers, courgettes and three kinds of tomatoes as well as potting on and planting out stuff. Found a stash of old window boxes in the garage, and they'll be purrfect for planting out the next batch of beans.

Now time to sit back with a and a snack, and maybe work on my drawing.

I’ve been out all day doing essential work, but now I’m home with the Fragrant MrsP, the doggies, Timmythecat, a cuppa and some chocolate biscuits. It’s been nice out, first time I’ve used motorised transportation for over four weeks.

Just finished cleaning the shower, sprayed with bleach solution and scrubbed with a brush in my cordless drill, white tiles and white grout, I may have to rip the grout out and the sealant around the tray and re do ...... again

I put a cap of bleach in a spray bottle topped up with water, spray on shower walls and wipe down with a microfibre cloth after every shower, no more stains no mould clean shower all the time.

Ordinary white vinegar should work well for this too.

My snow appears to be melting, and the sun is coming out.

Time to put the drawing stuff away and head off downstairs to cook supper.

Chinese chicken curry, rice and steamed greens tonight.

Success!
Sort of .
The engine transplant I have been carrying out on my lawnmower fired up this afternoon. It didn't start earlier when I tried as I wasn't using the correct procedure. It runs but I think the throttle needs to be looked at, I don't think it is getting full throttle. I have had to make a few modifications as the engine is bigger and was from a different mower which wasn't powered. I need to drill some hole in the blade pulley adaptor as the locating pins were sheared off by the impact .
It was nice to hear it run as we bought it second hand years ago and weren't sure if it was a runner although we were told that it was .

And arrived Monday afternoon.

Now I have lettuce planted for the slugs & snails. Carrots planted in a broken sewage pipe found in the garden & boringly tomatoes. Next potatoes to be planted in the front garden.

Sun's below the yardarm.

And shining in my eyes.

Shut your eyes and think of England

Shut your eyes and think of England

It was hard to read that with my eyes closed.

@Andy in Germany is conspicuous by his absence.

I had that same musing this very morning..
Isn't it weird that you should be concerned about someone, that you only know through hieroglyphs on a screen??

It takes a surprisingly long time to do an easter egg hunt with an enthusiastic 5 year old and three indulgent teenagers, even in a small living room...

And then you think.

Ah there he is the old fekker..

Lifted the last half tonne of carrots this morning.

Still in very good condition, sweet and juicy.

Too many to store and distribute through the usual channels

So the local foodbank (who do veg too) will be getting a good few cratefuls..

Good deed for the day done'ded
