Yay!
Winter is here! It's bucketing down at the moment (has been for two days) and is about 11 degrees!
Time for heating and the trusty flannel bedsheets to come out.

How's your day so far poppets?

I can feel the fluff just oozing from you all the way here in Aus.

It's banging it down here as well
It's folded my tomato plants.

poor tomato plants
Put a tarp over them? Or an Umbrella? my dad does that..

... but then my dad is a little odd.

I'm an odd dad
You can ask her.

I've never kept tomatos before, hence I'm automatically shit.

doesn't matter if you're
a little bit odd. You love your kid and that's all that matters.

As an aside tomatoes grow really well against a wall that gets some sunlight (a few hours a day) but not too much. And a sunshade cloth stretched above them will let water through, stop them getting burnt and will help keep them from folding when it buckets

Mrs Kindly Landlady
said she has some canes for me. Then she'll give me something to help keep tomatos upright.

My eyes!

Yeah I know it's terrible on the eyes
BUT it does a bloody good job.
Don't get more then 40% for your toms or they won't get enough sunlight.

I'm out of the loop

yup but it's good pay
so I'll put up with it. It's what's paying for moving to the UK.

I see
Why is it our countries seem to swap people so much?
(, Fri 15 May 2009, 8:14, archived)
probably cos Aus is so isolated
and England is cold - so we swap. Some of you guys think travelling four or five hours by car to be a long journey. it's not. it really isn't. In six hours I can be on the other side of my state, or over the border - past adelaide and heading towards the Flinders Ranges.

In six hours i wouldnt even be back in my home town from here.
Its not especially long

I like travelling.
I think the longest time I've travelled in a car was from Eucla to the other side of the Nullabour Plains. was about 14 hours. left at 8, got in at 10pm.
