What goes around just comes around


Go, girl!

As the weekend looms on the horizon, it's an crisp autumn morning out there. Beautiful blue skies - but the heating's on, I still have my dressing-gown on even though I've logged into work, and the gloves and "big coats" are out of the wardrobe!

It could be worse - it could be windy... Thank Disco Techno(?) It's Friday!

[Scarily, this choon is twenty years old!]

Have a great weekend, folks!

  2. I loved "Get Down" so much I bought the single. In fact, I've just checked my shelf, and there, between Massive Attack's "Teardrop" and Liberty X's "Holding On For You" it is!

    I also love the wind. Good job really as we get quite a lot of it up here...

    1. I probably danced to it, but by 2001 my single-buying days were slowing down quite considerably in favour of albums... Jx

  3. The weather has been odd here - as in not quite cold enough for the big coat, but cold enough for a jaunty scarf.
    Oh, I HATE the wind. I have really big rows with it. I'm becoming the old batty woman of Devon who rows with the weather.

    1. You should hear me cursing the trees! The extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers are covered in leaves from the hideous weedy things, and we're fighting a losing battle trying to sweep them up. Jx

  4. I shall have to send you a picture of the ginormous pile of palm trash we have.Oh! And a few hundred leaves on the front verandah! But when the man comes to trim our two BIG trees, he'll run all the trash through the chipper-mulcher.Just as well, cos my baby car can't cope and the multiple trips to the dump would probably be over $100.

    1. I would do like Carol Klein and Monty Don and bag them up for leaf-mould, but with a 60 square foot garden there's nowhere to store the bags, and with no actual earth to speak of there would be no point. They go in the bin. We do compost prunings and kitchen waste, however. Jx

    2. Oh, yes, I compost kitchen scraps, but it would take forever to make enough

    3. Just about everything (uncooked) can be composted - we add torn-up Amazon parcel boxes, used coffee filters (but not too many as they can be a bit acidic), wet newspaper, dead bedding plants at the end of their season, as well as all the leafy/peeled stuff. Of course, every year we end up with loads of sprouted potato peelings, but their stems are easy to break up and go back into the mix...

      Every year that bin produces plenty of good stuff for the bottom halves of pots into which perennials are re-potted, and bulks out the multi-purpose. Jx

    4. Yep. I do all that, but this yard needs a much quicker kick-start.Added to the natural sandy-rocky base is years of neglect, lumps of concrete and more plastic toys than Toys R Us could cope with!Stubborn ol' cow, me!

    5. Heavens - your house was built on a rubbish tip? Jx
