Suzi my plans for today, eat, drink play video games.
I've got eight unused ball point pens and none work argh bring back inkwells and nibs anyone my age would remember inkwells at school where you dipped your pen in the well and out popped a wad of ink sodden blotting paper impaled on your nib that some numpty had stuffed in the inkwell, ah those rosy school days of times gone by.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I much prefer fountain pens!
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Hey Mike I remember the nibs and ink wells....the teacher used to come around at beginning of term with a box of pens and I always chose the pale blue ones. Mum used to go ballistic when I came home with my hands covered in ink! I love fountain pens too and have quite a collection.
Dealing with covid is like doing the hoki koki first you get a jab then the jab's not very effective so we need a new jab a case of one step forward, one step back and repeat so that's what it's all about.
Just pondering about what veg to grow this year.
Going to have fish fingers chips and mush peas for dinner.

Soil is a bit heavy for carrots anyway this is what I've ordered.
- Potato 'Arran Pilot'
- Pea 'Bingo'
- Dwarf Broad Bean 'The Sutton'
- Leek 'Musselburgh'
- Spring Onion 'Performer'
- 70 litres peat free compost (to get the spring onions and leeks underway)
PS. Also bought some dwarf bedding dahlia seeds (I've grown these in the past though not this variety).
- Dahlia variabilis 'Dwarf Mixed'

You can’t have a garden without tomatoes and runner beans. My dad used to grow them as well as potatoes, cabbage, lettuces, peas, strawberries, raspberries and at the very back a patch of mint. That was my favourite part of the garden cos of the smell.
