5 weeks off for Christmas...

"Oh well since you've got a day off you can do a load of washing, clean the bathroom, hoover downstairs and polish the living room!!"

Leave it for Sam to do on his time off.

The unfortunate thing is it's not the best time to be off, the middle of winter.

Really? I freaking love the winter! Due to a medical issue I absolutley despise being alive between April and October.

You can fix my Pug if you're bored

After seeing how nervous you got when I tried to remove your ECU cover. I don't think I should

Bailes, sometimes you can agree to be paid for NOT taking the time off, if your company does this then that'll pay for your major service and everyfink

As an apprentice I have to take my holidays

[Bailes1992]

I wonder what else I might do on my 5 weeks off...


Should give me a few more MPGees and some more grunt.

It's not the cold which is fine, it's the phsycological thing of the day light going so quickly. Still, 3 weeks and the days draw out again.

Time to plant onions then

[lozz]

Time to plant Daffodils then

[steve_earwig]

Probably those too

I went out yesterday and bought a kilo of onion sets for less than 2 quid - half of them are destined for the flower beds You've got to keep these foreign Johnnies guessing

Never did see the point of growing anything you cann't eat.

Well, there's hops....

And herbs.

Im not much of a Gardening fan anymore, Cba with it,
but its fun to watch a box of Budgie seed grow (Trill), next doors had some lovely exotic plants growing from it,

Dust your keyboard?

[steve_earwig]

...polish your helmet...

it's flowers I can't be doing with.

What's wrong with flowers? The world would be pretty dull without them (and that's not going into the world being a barren desert...)

My sunflowers this year:





These are a more basic variety than the ones you get in the UK with one huge flower (that blows down the first time the wind blows), with small flowers and tiny seeds. I was cutting the flowers for the house. Those I could reach anyway... I measured the big boy when I pulled them all down - just over 4 meters

Hummingbird hawk moths on Mirabilis Jalalpa:





They don't like concrete...

Incidentally, you missed off plants you can smoke

[scotty73]

You beat us to it when you said herbs Those sunflowers are massive I've only managed about 8 feet that was years ago when the kids were little.
