    I hear you Obelixx, its the doing that's hard! Cooking for one is a mission if I can get the veg into the kitchen (usually eaten a portion of peas before I've finished) and tortilla chips dipped in fresh tomato salsa mmmmmmmmmm. Best put another notice on the cupboard I guess.

    Sorry to hear you're not feeling too good, is it the heat? It does crazy things to my head and stomach I know, hope you feel better for a lie down.

    Nice to 'see' you Ggirl - hope you're ok   image

    Please keep your tummy upsets to yourself Pat and Obs -  I can't afford to be ill   image

    Hope you're both a bit better soon though. 

    It turned out a nice day here too Joyce. About  16 or 17 degrees with no wind - perfect for me. Glad you got some time outdoors with your relatives. x 

    Yvie - have you been burying bodies somewhere?  image

    Liri - I think I'd rather eat my own hair than travel a long distance on a bus now. There's no danger of me taking one of those 'Glens and Lochs' coaches in my dotage!   image

    Not long in - had to get compost and food after work, then cut the 'Centre and No 1 courts', which took longer than usual as my little lawnmower finally bit the dust. It was my Dad's and it has done well for many years. Fortunately, the previous owner had left a mower in the shed, although I really dislike those hover ones, so I'll get a new one and see if anyone wants that one. Thought I could see some tennins but I was too late - watching the highlights now. A great win for JK. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hello Fairygirl

    been busy here lots on the allotment trying to make it look better even with lots of pallet piles ( will be used as fencing and finishing shed)  on it - as I have entred best allotment comp as to see if I can get improved plot for next year as you get points - still waiting for the judge as only told sometime in July

    Bit wet today had to come home from plot, sunny tomorrow, did see a baby sparrow, mummy was feeding it it had little feathers sticking out so cute, not sure but may have a hedgehog keep seeing that sort of poop around

    Woody has his veg show on Saturday
