    I have things to do out there, it's dry the sun is shining, but as I am just not in the mood at the moment they're not getting done. Apart from potting up some bulbs in the greenhouse, watering in there and sticking the broad bean plants in the ground now it's just about workable.
    Next dryish spell Christmas week.

      Thank you for all the kind wishes and treatment tips, Husband says the pain was a bit less last night, will make decision in morning if need to ring dr again. iv just transplanted a few of the bulbs that we found around the dug out shrubs along with a few of my bought bulbs. Again because they were on sale they didnt come with labels, but they are very tiny so im guessing some are crocus, definately not daffs or tulips. Will be nice surprise to see what come up in the Spring. l accidently dug up my pruned down maroon clematis on Wed while helping grandson :( just found it on all the pile of garden stuff that was to be thrown out..will have to try re planting it tomorrow hoping it will regrow. No idea name of it as was here when we moved in..l'll have to see if we took photos of it this year as it gave a lovely display of flowers on the obelisk..lv now moved that frame so it blocks the view of my little greenhouse from bedroom window. l plan on planting one of my 'Blue Angel' clematis iv got in containers as one of the moonlight flowers l intend to plant. l managed to keep my' Winter Beauty 'clematis and 'New Dawn' rambler rose in one part of the border, l was worried they would need to come out Im rushing to get the bulbs & transplant perennials in , while soil is not frozen over, Weather is still really good so far here in Nottinghamshire.

        Had to be careful not to mow these that had sprung up on the lawn

        Composted this part of the vegetable plots and then replaced the covers. By February the compost will have settled down and I can pull the membrane taut.

          Inspected the greenhouse. Found evidence of mice helping themselves to a bulb or two. They are so tidy - perfect holes in the compost with no spoil heaps. They had also had a tidy dig down into a pot of cuttings. I wonder what they found or have they planted something? Then I found a pile of bumbles on the high shelf. Naughty mice.

          In the garden itself I scooped up piles of leaves with my bare hands. Then I washed the living room window as it was covered in dust.
