I am considering rereading CoTT (I am not going to say what I am thinking Gary ) again

Yeah... I know what you're thinking.

Don't drink the disinfectant.  

And certainly don't inject it!

Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle.     *scratches Thistle behind the ears*

I made me a nice cup of Ginger Peach tea and started chapter 3

We're having Dr. Pepper Carne Asada tacos for dinner. Cilantro-lime rice on the side, and caramel flan for dessert.

We are having

Roasted Chicken and Mango Salsa

I finally got my seed potatoes planted today.

Two rows of Desiree (long oval tubers, red skinned, pale yellow flesh) and two rows of Royal (oval tubers, yellow skinned, pale yellow flesh). Fifteen tubers in each row.

Desiree is classed as maincrop, but I have grown it in the past and it yields so well that some plants can be lifted early and still give a good yield. It tastes great, and makes excellent chips (fries across the pond).

I've never grown Royal before. It is classed as an early maincrop. These two varieties were the only ones I managed to buy before the garden centres closed.

Here's a photograph I took of the first 3 furrows before I made the fourth one (and before I planted the seed potatoes themselves):

Poor Clo, no I think slushy gray sins are probably more her speed

Poor Marty, now you need to be patient and wait for your chips to grow

As my grandad often used to tell me:

"Patience is a virtue, sometimes found in man."

He would often follow that with:

"But never in woman!"

My mam would always tell me grandad was getting old and forgetful, and that was why he kept getting it the wrong way round...

As a child, this was often me:

But, now that I'm getting old, this is how I sometimes feel:

I hope each and everyone of you realises that I am just joking! 
(And Grandad and Mam were only joking, as well)

Morning all!

And, with the start of this new day, I am now officially allowed, as a septuagenarian in covid-19 Ireland, to leave my house and garden, and exercise within a five kilometre radius of home.

I notice Gary has listed his new story as Complete! 

Must make time to read it, now!  

[Caz Pedroso]

Hi All

There are too many pages to catch up on, so I hope everyone is well and staying safe. 

I just started a new job in my local pharmacy four afternoons a week so i am at least getting out and socialising (sort of) a bit now.

Hi Marty  

I think i have several of Gary's stories on my read/reread list. Unfortunately my iPad screen cracked and reading on my laptop/desktop/phone hurts my eyes after a while. So, my GA reading lists will have to wait a while

Hi, Caz

Thanks  I've been trying to get a part time job for over a year so i was very pleased to be offered this one. Now i just need to get passed my three month trial 

How are you today???

[Marty]

So what have you missed in here, Caz...?

Erm...

Gary had a sore neck, but it seems to be better now...

Clo and Val have the occasional biatch fight, usually over pics of guys that Gary posts...
(dughlas often runs off with the guy whilst clo and Val are busy squabbling)

I'm boring everyone with tales of my gardening, and weekly black and white photographs...

Sage and Onion, oops! I mean Page and Albert are impressing us all with tales (and occasional pictures) of what they are eating, and various recipes....

Bucket is somehow managing to survive living upside-down in down-underland...

There was a huge discussion about the humble spud a few days ago....

Wee Drew seems to be mellowing in his old age...

Now.... I'm sure I've missed a few people, or some important news, but I've not had my second coffee yet.

Well congratulations then. And I'm sure you'll do fine.

I'm good, thanks for asking.

Gonna head out and do some gardening once I finish this mug of coffee.
