    Afternoon. I told everyone I was having tomorrow off to rest, focus on where my brain is...

    .... So of course destiny seemed to throw the almighty spanner in the works.

    They're FAB. So fab a good can set you back almost £100K. You could get a good Aston Martin for that money.

    It's a little beauty Hosta. That would do me for my trips to the remote hills  image

    Congratulations to littlest chicklet. She comes from good stock of course   image

    Got that Joyce - thanks. Will reply later  image

    You must have needed your dinner Pat. Hope you're on the mend, although I expect you're tucked up by now  image

    Yvie - I'm so sorry - I didn't know. Nothing anyone can say to make it any better, but I'm sure you know we're all here to hold your 'virtual' hand if you need to rant, rail or cry. Or all three   x 

    LP - we had a torrential downpour earlier and there's thunder and lightning forecast for tonight.  It felt like it would thunder this afternoon too. It cleared, but the sky's as black as sin again. At least it was largely dry today though - nice and warm ,but still not enough for the r***y grass seed image

    They say the fire started in a fridge, but you'd wonder how it becomes so devastating, so quickly. Hope we don't find out there's another  'cladding' issue. Must have been combustible material nearby. 

    Just glad I'm not in Barcelona. What a hellish time people are having in so many places throughout the world.

    It's quite oppressive just now LP, and we've had another shower. The wind direction's to be coming from a more southerly/south westerly direction later, so I doubt we'll avoid it completely, but you never know. There'll certainly be a bit more rain. I'll need to push the Lord Bute pelargoniums under cover again. They've been lovely, but I think they'd have been better if it hadn't been so cold through June and July. They probably haven't grown and flourished as well as they should. Always next year.

    I forgot to mention that the nursery I got them from was on G's World a week or two ago. Cramden Nursery in Northants. They're absolutely superb, and couldn't have been more helpful.

    Lovely evening here too LP. Across the Fenwick Moor the weather is often quite different for Fairy.

    We have had wet bits but not enough to measure tho OH says he got wet just a few miles away on the golf course.  Not the first time that's happened so I've told him to play golf in the garden!

    Maybe your Lord Butes would be better on a nice cosy windowsill FG.

    Obelixx, if your OH played golf in the garden you wouldn't be able to do your secret watering........

    I wouldn't need to!  Assuming he got well rained on.
