So what are you going to do instead?

[Bunkermagnet]

Guilty as charged ?
But I'm guessing someone else likes them to know what they were ?

Absolutely

Started planting some of the bits we had saved in the hope they will grow. Also have wildflower seeds to sow in this area.

HID gets three or four different gardening magazines each month and most have had seed on the front cover for the last 5-6 months so she's been out sowing those today. No idea what some are and if they are too late but hopefully we'll get some colour in the garden if the lockdown continues for any extended period of time. If anyone is interested I have this site on a very good recommendation -https://www.realseeds.co.uk/

I actually did some DIY today. Rarer than hen's teeth for me. Had a saw out a bit of the shelf from the airing cupboard so it fits around the boiler we had put in there... about two years ago.

Bass guitar is seeing some practice these days, I'm limited in ability and arguably way too old for such nonsense but it is at least absorbing and usually fun and a distraction. Loopz app is a great free drum pattern aid, played through a bluetooth speaker to keep time and make the 'music' sound better.
Rock mood last night, riffs slaughtered were Wrathchild, Cochise, Ten Seconds to Love, No Quarter, WMA, New Years Day, You've Got Another Thing Coming and Readymade. All catchy and not too hard to get with very prominent basslines.

Did some Karaoke on Friday afternoon!!!! Only two hours. Then came in and watched a live "gig" from a fav singer of ours on FB Kezia Gill. Country and western. She's on every Friday at 8pm. Should be a good 'un this week, She's promised to do a "feel good Friday" with loads of uptempo songs.

I just spent 8 hours over this weekend polishing Mrs Slime's car.
I'm not sure it had ever been done before, although she's only had it a few months.
Very therapeutic and rewarding.

Oh, the black mark, bottom right of photo, is dirt on the camera lens ........................ it's not on the car!

Just as well!

Imagine doing 8 hours only to notice later on, in a photo, that you'd missed a bit

 

[chellie]

Eight hours

 

[Crazyface]

How about Hunting? Just watching a C&W singer live who's said her husband is "out hunting which is a social distancing thing" ??????? Good 'ole America eh?

 

[Slime]

Eight hours

Yup, it was a mess and I wanted to do it properly.
Besides, I did the garden last weekend!

So it turns out I’ll mainly be eating instead of golf. Today’s consumption so far:
2 poached eggs on toast
Roast Pork Sunday lunch, with all the trimmings
An almond Magnum
A kinder Bueno (out of my daughter’s Easter Egg, ssshhh...)
3 pikelets with about half a tub of butter

Now starting to get a hankering for the sweet and salty popcorn I know is in the cupboard. As they’re right next to the Sports Mixture, I can’t imagine they’ll stay in the cupboard either. I’ve been out for a walk and done 45 mins on the cross trainer, but that’s never gonna balance out what I’m scoffing.

Been using them for a few years Martin for my veggies. Not the usual mass packaged seeds but unusual and sometimes rare varieties with produce that really taste good.

Schoolboy error to show this to HID. She has fallen in love with them and agree so many unusual varieties. Think HID has grand ideas we could go self sufficient. We already grow a load of stuff (carrots, potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, chillis, garlic, red and white onions, french, runner and broad beans)

 

[Leftie]

They have a very peculiar business model. They lure you in with the (fulfilled) promise of great tasting veggies, tell you how to grow them, how to pollinate for true variety seed, and actively encourage you with instructions how to save specimen seed for the following year. I have to admit that I didn't need to buy seeds from them this year

We are taking the opportunity to sort through many many years of photographs stuffed into boxes in the loft - and as we do this we are taking out pictures to make up little ’keepsake’ albums for both our children (24 and 27). Very time consuming but at least I can listen to long not listened vinyl as we do it ?

 

[fundy]

Built a couple of bird boxes to go with the new planters that now have seeds planted in them. Running out of ideas and wood now!

Working on my Spanglish, to make it more like Spanish.

A gas leak near the meter inside the garden wall led to a call with the Spanish gas company in Madrid. Work still to be done. Got sorted in the end but Jeez it was a struggle. The day to day stuff isn't bad but when you need a technical conversation...

Then, just after lunch, whilst checking the bank account I found that the previous car insurance company had taken a year's premium for a car we sold in January, even though we'd swapped emails early and late Feb. Took a bit of to-ing and fro-ing but got there in the end.

At least the Spangilsh is getting more Span and less glish.

What do they call someone who hangs around with musicians?

Agreed. The guy who gave me the nod has replenished most of his massive veggie crop from seed from last years crop. Does seem a strange method not to pursue repeat orders but clearly they are passionate about the whole process
