The beeb said it wouldn't rain today but guess what I'm looking at...
Love Italy. Anywhere's good but I particularly loved Tuscany. I think the food might be my downfall though; I'd need two plane seats if I stayed too long.
The niece is coming today so there'll be little work parties. Little in height but big on productivity I hope!
Clari I too am doing the great escape school of soil shifting. I know three brothers who pretty much did it with their parents' ashes!!!! One kept dick, one scattered and one shuffled!!!! The funny thing is thier parents would have totally approved!
Morning Fairy and Lilyp. glad you liked the lichen. I put two different photos on the jigsaw site.
morning Nannyb and plantp.
Im keeping the front curtains open so that I can see the moon when it rises. Hubby now tells me the eclipse is for Canada not here . It's just on dark.
Im home alone while he has gone to a fire brigade meeting to plan training courses. Still thinking what to have for dinner tonight. Maybe a quick and easy frozen meal . No hurry, so could still come up with something special. I picked a couple of bunches of Kale today, so they might get into the steamer. yum yum with butter.
Morning all. Storm and rain in the night, it actually woke OH up, not me, which is unusual. I slept until 5am, woke up for the loo to find the lights weren't working. Trip metre had gone again. Must get OH to reset the water heater, I keep forgetting how to do it.
Weather is a shame for the family though as they (3 children, OHs, 8 grandchildren) are staying and they'd planned to do outdoor things and swimming. June was so hot and dry, just when it was school time.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
We finally had 5mm of rain in the night. Forecast for Wednesday has "improved" again and we're now expecting rain only in the evening. Humph!
Meanwhile, it's sunny but cool with a breeze. I'm off to the doc for an MOT this afternoon so plan to stay clean after getting almost all the ingrained muck out from under my nails last night.
Love the lichen too Pat. Ours tends to be white or yellow and small. Harking back to doors, it occurs to me we may be OK lighting our wood burner in winter if we leave the living room door open. Otherwise the heat is suffocating but I do love a fire.
Not looking at porn here. Hundreds of old fashioned pale daffs lifted from the former donkey paddock and needing homes along with all the stuff I put in pots to have colour for last spring - tulips, crocuses, alliums, iris reticulata....... Might have the odd impulse buy in shops tho.
Best get some jobs done now; Have a good one, whatever you're doing.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Just a quicky for Hosta. I let my cottage out on Cornwall-on-Line. It costs just ove

Guess what? NO RAIN ( apart from a bit of dampness which must have happened overnight)
It's not warm. they forecast a low of 9C last night!! 9, in August?? If I dared leave the garden, I'd be off to a Greek island for a week.
Hi all.
Could do with webbed feet today and worse to come supposedly.
Going to view some porn today and then order some bulbs!

" hot and dry" !! Can someone remind me what that's like?

Hello all from Leeds station. Waiting for my connection to Newcastle - off to see Mum and sister today.
Sorry Hosta, only 10C here and raining steadily.
Re Italy: we loved Florence. And Venice, 40 years ago - though I gather it's now completely over-run with tourists...
Yvie, hope things look brighter this morning. X
Ooh, train's coming in...
My daughter "did" Venice , Florence and Rome about 4 years ago. " rammed with tourists"
Her advice was book tickets online before you leave home and get there very early if you can.( and take lots and lots of money )
Poor wee Worzle is poorly and needs to go get fixed. ( we think wheel baring)
