However, wasn't today simply lovely?
Wind dropped, sun all day, cold but not unpleasant.
Neighbours out in walking gear obviously off for a nice walk in the sun
but I'm doing heavy construction work in the garden so I spent the day
chasing a wheelbarrow.

Cheers

No sun here - grey cloud and that cold look about the place. What are
you building in your garden?

The mother of all sheds :-)

And it is 'light rain showers' today so not wet enough to declare an
enforced holiday but generally miserable.

I bet you stopped work this afternoon though. Didn't it just pour down!

Fortunately today is a 'non-digging' day as I have a small life outside shed
building ;-)
It really hurled it down last night and there are puddles everywhere today.
Still raining, but starting to clear.
Fortunately I have an excuse for this afternoon as well.
Just as well because I an completely knackered.
Barrowing wet soil does not come under the heading of 'gentle exercise'.

Cheers

David

so I suppose a direct bank transfer will be the obvious outcome.


It will be more cash transactions i would bet. i certainly wouldn't want
a direct bank transfer for some of my small printing jobs, some of my
customers don't know the difference between pdf and GIF so what hope is
there for them to manage direct transfers

That's not why she changed it. Time for Judith to think of another name. One
that doesn't sound like a salad dressing this time? )

No, I know it's not *why* she changed it but the effect is one of "who
on earth is this?"

I'm not sure if my wife knows or cares what the difference is between a pdf and
a GIF, but she has no problem using Internet banking in two languages
neither of
which are her mother tongue.


I sort of take your point Martin but I meant those people that don't use
the Internet or computers very much at all. To them Internet banking
would be beyond the pale, including some of my friends who have very
good brains and are astute at most things but either have no patience or
seem to dig their heels into learning their way around the web!

That's pretty much what we have in. And some stuff like tiny potatoes
called oca that Nick found. They are ... odd.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oca

(My neighbour nearly weeded them up when we were on holiday whilst she
was on picking duty!)

We've only dug up half of them so far, only had them roasted - they
taste a bit like pre-vinegarred chips!

And ours are a lot more knobbly than that photo!

Also, we really ought to try and get rid of the damned jerusalem
artichokes some time. I swear I got rid of every tiny little bit last
year, and yet there is a whole bed of them plaguing me again!!
