Summary week ending 6th March

[louisa maud]

Thought someone might have beaten me to it this morning

No a lot for me to say this morning, don't want to comment on the current situation as bad as it is, feel very sad for those involved and their families

I hope all those who are flooded are getting dried out, it is surprising how far water travels

It seems a nice bright morning, not so much of a blue sky as yesterday and Saturday but it is dry

Take care  and lets all try to to be positive

Morning LM
I tried to be positive by posting photos of plants in my garden onto another thread on rc, but I always have bother putting photos on here. Either the size or the name is unacceptable. I’ll try again later but  I do find it frustrating. It’s easy on fb.
Glad to hear those who had flood issues are safe if sad at what they have to tackle.

I almost logged into the new week at about 1am, I just could not sleep again, I have these "can't sleep night" from time to time, but I spent my time finding something that will help a cousin, he said there is an unknown man in the same grave as my aunt and uncle, he isn't unknown, he is our gt uncle, so I didn't waste my time, I put it to good use

It does look like spring here today, we just have to go day by day as the weather is quite changeable

I am hoping to meet a friend who has just had an op and been on Chemo, fully isolated so I haven't seen her,  her husband takes her out for a drive and she walks as far as she can, so today I am hoping to meet her for just a short while and have a coffee and a chat

TaKe care

File names (photos) must be unique within RootsChat.
I often change the filename by adding my initials.
E.G. File1 changed to File1-KG.

Shrove  Tuesday tomorrow.
Gosh I used to make so many pancakes ,when our children were  small , then grandchildren ,
My O,H. Loved them ,cheeky monkey would put  sugar and lemon  every turn
when rolling them up.
We liked butter and cinnamon sugar as a change .
I  put melted butter in the mix ,they are then a very nice tender texture .

Cheese pancakes are lovely with salad ,not an omelette, but a nice quick lunch.Good wrapped round asparagus.
Well ,must get on,could do with some sunshine so I can see what I am doing
re cleaning and polishing the kitchen units.
Cheerio.Viktoria.

Wow that snook up !! Good job I saw this I would not want to miss out I love pancakes.

Going to start of my tomato plants tomorrow, we have two types but only 10 seeds per packet which I thought was a bit tight.

Seeds are really expensive now, I am fed up with tasteless tomatoes so might have a go, there used to be one,a great  favourite ,was it  Alisa Craig?
Best of luck with yours,l

I discovered Premier seeds this last year, most seed packets are about £1 and the packets are huge (apart from tomato's) yes alisa craig is a popular one. This year we are trying Crimson Crush and Cherry sweet aperitif https://www.premierseedsdirect.com/product-category/vegetables/vegetables-t-z/tomato/page/5/

Yes give it a go, they are worth it for the taste and so good for you.
