What's a blog then

Well the Garden is gradually getting sorted out....6 raised beds - two of tatties and three either are, or will be, used for veg/salad stuff....one is for sweet peas...just love them.

Fired up the chimnea for the first time....currently using diy store reformed woodchip logs...they don't last very well...I think I will try a bit of beech or oak and see how that lasts...

Looking forward to a week in Kilchoan (Ardnamurchan) at the end of the month.....should be nice and relaxing....

The temperature has remained pretty constant at around the 2.5c mark for the last 18 hours or so under a dull grey blanket out of which has come a little rain....lovely!

My weather sensor is attached to the northish facing side of the garden shed about 20ft from the house...under the lea of the shed roof - it has been outside for the last couple of years without any problems.

Kitchen update...may now just relocate existing kitchen as it was only installed about 18 months before we moved in in August and there is not a lot wrong with it apart from being in the wrong place that is and having a black worktop that seems to absorb light.....

A Happy New Year to any visitors....

Thermo at home said -1.5c at 08:30 ...it was -5.7c at midnight. It has been so dry that the roads have no ice on them so they are not to bad but still pays to be careful.

Looks like new kitchen fever has descended as we spent last night trying to plan out what goes where in the new room.....we are moving the Kitchen into another room so it could be fun.....I just love tiling!

All we need to do now is save up for the wood burning stove and chimney....we are all electric - only other option is a Calor Gas fire but I think a wood burner would be nicer.......

Onwards and upwards

I wonder what the news people will talk about after today now the US election has finally come to an end....BBC TV news this morning was solely US for 30 minutes - nothing had happened anywhere else in the world....at least the website is a bit more all inclusive.

Well done Mr Obama .....Now lets see if you can deliver!

Yep - we are moving house - not far but far enough.....
