Thursday, 18-06-26

Morning, everyone.  Welcome to Thursday.  It's cool and dull right now but maybe it will do what yesterday did and morph into a beautifully sunny day.

Yesterday is turning out to be a bit busier than I though, one way and another.

I had a chat to Lindsey and we agreed to try the early morning PT for the rest of the summer and see how it goes.  She said it made no difference to her so why not?  
I'm an early riser and it just means I will need to be more organised with my social media stuff.

I made the most of the good weather to do two loads of washing, one being my bedding, and I gave my bedroom a good tidy and clean too.  That was satisfying, especially at bed time.  :-)

The webinar did happen; there was a link in my Google mailbox to take me there and it was about making the most out of your governor monitoring visit.  It was sort of helpful but maybe a bit vague in places but there were some very helpful bits.

The other training was one I have done before and which I wanted to repeat because there have been a few changes to the OFSTED framework since it started.  Also, as Inclusion is the big issue and I am the SEND link governor, it is very likely that inspectors will want to speak to me, if I can make it, so the more on top of it all I am, the better.

Today is lighter. 
Chris and I are having our usual coffee and chat.  We had scheduled lunch out together but now that Little Grandson has arrived, she and Steve are helping out with First Grandson and nursery pick ups, etc.  We'll find another time, I am sure.

And then I need to stay in as Seth might be round to look at some things that need doing.  

A few photos:  

Not a great photo but can you see the baby tomatoes.  It'!s difficult, I know, they are very camouflaged at the moment
Loads of mini cucumbers, two of which might be ready tom cut in a couple of days.
A big cucumber that is almost visibly growing now it is warmer.  I've also removed all those male flowers and there are plenty of cucumbers  starting off.
So much better than last year's efforts!

Oh, and the little pear is holding on.

Right, well, better start the day, I suppose.  Have a lovely Thursday, everyone.  Take care and stay safe.  xx

      Not colour exactly, but they are definitely a lighter green. Very exciting! :-D xx

  3. I think I’d like to try growing those mini cucumbers next year, just right for one/two portions. Is it a named variety?

    1. It's called Picolino and the larger one is Telegraph Improved. They're doing very well and I'll look out for the same next year. xx

  4. I've had great success with Party Time mini cucumbers. I recently rooted a sideshoot in a glass of water and potted it on. It's already got baby cucumbers
