    Hello SGL image

    We had a takeaway last night ... my Fortune Cookie said ... "Your days will be filled with sunshine and happiness"  image  These things are reliable, aren't they?

    Dull and cool here but dry.  We're off to Les Sables d'Olonne to buy large prawns from the market to BBQ this evening.  Local grown steak to follow and local pork and herb sausages.    Was going to be marinaded lamb ribs but senior SIL doesn't do fat.   Humph.   While there we'll have a shufty at a triathlon event and some sailing event and a good stroll after a lovely fishy lunch.

    I have to abandon them all on Monday to drive up to Belgium for a friend's funeral.   Brain tumour.  His wife was my friend first and their youngest daughter is Possum's civil godmum.   OH will be left with pussies and doggies and family for a few days.

    Need to get my brassicas and toms in the ground before I go and automatic sprinkling going on as OH has no idea...........but the rellies leave on Tuesday and he says he'll rotavate the other beds in the potager so we can our soft fruits and rhubarb in and prepare for espalier fruits to go  in in autumn.

    Have a good day on teh sofa Dove and PD and any other crook Forkers.   Hope you get your project done Hosta.

    Greetings to all.  Hope you have a great day, whatever the weather.

    Morning.

    Nice sunny day hereimage. Boring job to doimage.

    Our house has a cream render but the proximity of many large trees means green algae grows in certain spots on the render - makes it look very grubby. Was last treated with special fungicidal cleaner about 4 years ago - and now it's time to do it again. Horrible job. Hopefully decorator will do it next time when the house gets painted again in 2019.

    After that I might finally get around to planting some nicotiana which have well outgrown their seed trays. Was waiting for damp soil to plant them in - finally had some decent rain on Thursday.

    Enjoy your Saturday everyone - hope all poorly peeps feel better soonimage

    Oh Hosta ... that's a shame!   I hope the concerts will be rescheduled ......... if so, there's a silver lining ... it'll mean more work for my son image
