Update on computer & garden news

19 comments


I know it’s ages since I have written a blog…I do apologize. I have been managing to keep fairly updated with the happenings on GoY but the laptop has been really misbehaving now for several weeks and limits my time online.

Our son-in-law is taking it home with him today and will keep it this week to see if he can trace the issues and resolve them….fingers crossed. But this means I will not be online for most of this next week…see you all when I return.

On a good note….I visited B&Q on Friday and got one of the small growhouses in their sale. Son-in-law and daughter have assembled it for me today and I can’t wait to begin starting some seedlings. It will be a whole new experience for me :)

We are hoping the turf will go down in a few weeks and then we’ll be able to begin planting borders….looking forward to the challenge and the spring weather to do it all…..not much different from all of you too I expect. We all want finer days so we can get out in our gardens. Happy gardening all.

My computer died in the fall and I was without for over a month - I hated how dependent I'd become on it! Have fun with your new greenhouse, I was thinking last night how I'd love to have one, but it would have to be free!!

I hope you get your computer back soon and that it works. It's a nuisance when things break down :o)

Good luck with your growhouse. I hope you get lots of successfull sewings :o)

Hi Jacquie

Glad to hear you're back - I wondered where you were.

Hope you manage to get your computer sorted. My son has just given me a lovely new one which is so much faster than my last one. It's bliss !

Be in touch soon.

computers eh? I'm still 'wibbling' mine plus now need to tip the tower 45* to get it fired-up ?!?!?!? Personally I think this is funny but realise this is not exactly ideal ;-)
Good luck with your new lawn, seed sowing & computer reperations. The busy season is upon us HOORAH !!!

Success :) Our son-in-law returned my laptop today and it appears to be working much better. It will take me a little while to get caught up on blogs/photos. Really appreciate all your good wishes...and it seems I'm not alone with computer probs!

And...I'll be putting up another blog (hopefully with photos) very soon...as things get underway in our back garden.

24 Feb, 2011

 

Glad your back online....

Pleased to see you back Jacquie, nice to know your computer's behaving better for you . Looking forward to seeing your garden as it comes along. Have you any special ideas for it yet?

26 Feb, 2011

 

Still at the dreaming stage Lins. I have lots of planting ideas still roaming around in my head. I'm going to start some seeds off this week (an indoor job though until they are able to be planted out)...hopefully I will meet with success and they will grow for me!

I'll blog as things progress...just want the turf laid now so I can shape borders and prepare them for plants.

Looking forward to seeing what you do Jacquie.
