I agree NannyB ... we can't change it so I accept it and smile
B3 I quite like Coffee Creme ... although I've never understood the attraction of Turkish Delight with chocolate attached
The weather's going to be lovely in September ... we've booked it
Pat ... dont' get stressed about it ... it's good to know what to look out for ... that way you have more control over events ... now spend the day doing something that makes you smile ((hugs)) Hope your OH gets over the cough soon ... I woke in the night with a tickly cough ... perhaps he's given it to me

Pat - I hope hubby improves. Sounds like you need to change pharmacy and she's right - better to know what to look out for and react early than have full blown pneumonia hit you both over the head, so to speak.
Don't like coffee creams but do love proper Turkish Delight with all the nuts and no chocolate, not even Belgian.
We now have 18.5C and Possum has put on some heavy winter baggies with her sleeveless top as she was feeling cold. Minstrel came in very cross about a 5 minute shower that stopped play and proceeded to have hysterics upstairs, aided and abetted by a wild looking Cosmos. I now need to re-file quite a few boxes of sewing patterns.......
Can't do owt about the weather here either so have now accepted that I won't get my rose courtyard or my clematis and rose arbour or my fruit cage until we've had some serious autumn rains (fingers crossed) and sourced a lorry load or 3 of horse poo. Meanwhile, much watering. Even the new herb bed is struggling with the prolonged drought.
NB - Hugs. Glad you got your washing done. Leaves more time for gardening!

Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
See, I got you ll talking about chocolate! Me I like the purple one with the nut inside, or praline but with cruncky bits.These men Pat, wont go to the Dr.Well, its 2.30 and still no rain!
Joyce, you're right about Lismore. Sunny again today so the visitors should be enjoying themselves.
Friend's knitting is sorted, ginger shortbread and coffee consumed (well, she got it out specially so it would have been rude to refuse...)
Might do some guerrilla pruning this afternoon. Self-seeded sycamores, an overgrown beech hedge and a regenerated elm in the churchyard next door across the public steps (church still up for sale) are overhanging my garden, and the rugosa rose hedge is suffering. Before anyone buys the church I think I'll "help" by reducing the amount of work the new incumbents will have to do.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Absolutely ferdiddlin' down here ... no way am I going out there to cut some chard ... we'll have new potatoes and tinned sweetcorn with the chinese-style pork belly rashers instead of stir-fried noodles and chard.

Thanks Dove. You're right, but it's easier said than done. It's getting close to bed time - just watching The Pretenders on Jools and that's it.
Just had a quick chat with Wonky ... anyone got a spare waxed jacket size 12 that's too big for them
She needs a spare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and guess what she and Flatters found in the garden shed last night, eating Flatters' supper ...
