Sunshine and seed trays & Kids in debt, its all our fault!

So then there's a new Pope! but that didn't stop us spotting the sunshine this morning and realising its about time we started looking for seed trays and things.  It was quite cold to start with at -5c but it soon warmed up and i sped off for another load of wood to add to the ever growing pile in the woodshed. 
After unloading the wood we decided to get the seed trays and propagators ready in the greenhouse and we will put in the seeds once the days are a little warmer.  As soon as we started in came the clouds and down went the temperature.  Luckily the sun broke through again and here's a pic of Sally with trowel in hand getting on with it

Note the door is firmly closed, keeping the warmth in!  I'm the one running up and down the garden re-filling the peat box!

Another garden story struck Sally as particularly odd yesterday.  A couple had rented this house, an old  water mill and spent years developing a wonderful garden.  They now have unfortunately to move and the agents "James Perks" want the garden to be changed back to how it was or are going to charge the pair £5000.  Worth a read lots more to it than is detailed here, shame on you James Perks!

 The Daily Express is back to the "normal" headlines, "Arthritis: New jab to fight the pain".  They have flagged up at least 2 or 3 other arthritis cures this year why do we need another!!!!!!!

A real gut wrenching (sorry) story is written up by the BBC Health people.  Its about the "Tapeworm Parasite"  and how we pass it on to pigs and then get it back again,  Read it but not before a meal!

Kids are in debt and its all our fault!  It appears that half of Britons between 20 and 30 years old blame their parents for not teaching them about how to manage their finances.  This is according to a story in the Telegraph .  Excuse me! he said indignantly.  These 20 to 30 year olds were,  not long ago teenagers yes?  Even as a crusty old "shop assistant" I am reminded countless times during my shift that "teenagers" know everything"and rarely converse with parents except to demand "more!".  Seriously though its another attempt by the "blame shifters", they blame someone else for a problem they cant, or refuse to accept and get on and do something about it!

Our youngest cat Sainsbury has been a little off his game for the last few days so its a visit to the v-e-t, in a short while, so there will be long faces from him as soon as he's put in the cat box! 

Enjoy the day
