Love herons and haven't a pond in which I'd put fish so they're welcome, along with the local egrets and storks. Gorgeous sunny day and a trio of chaps working inside today installing the ducts and stuff for the new air heating/cooling system. Dogs confined to living room with OH for the duration. He should be out playing golf but is practising housewifely home minding as I have a once a year outing to a craft and patchwork fair in Nantes.
Good to see you taking a few minutes to yourself DD. Peonies don't mind being moved as long as you plant them at the same depth so as not to bury or expose the point where flower buds form.
Have a good time everyone. Lots going on today. I like the sound of your fairy hill FG.

Obs: I'm confused ( again???, you all cry ) " Peonies don't mind being moved as long as you plant them at the same depth so as not to bury or expose the point where flower buds form." If the point where the buds form is not buried or exposed, where should it be? I've got my new babies to plant and want to get it right.
Sorry all, forgetting my manners. Good morning to you all. Awake between 2 and about 6 but I managed to watch last week's "Civilisations" on iPlayer. I was very tempted to watch the last episode due for broadcast tonight, but as it was almost 5am , I thought I'd head back to bed just as the blackbirds were waking.
Cold and miserable here. Love herons, the fish in our pond are all wild [ I suppose you would be too, if you were being eaten by a heron ] and constantly resupplied from the stream, so I don't mind them being eaten. Not sure of my plans today, very tempted to go back to bed, to avoid putting the heating back on. OH has not been offered a pay rise, but has been told there will be opportunities soon. Her response was, they had better be soon because I won't be here after June.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
@raisingirl I'm glad I got it right. I don't have fish (well 5 spricklets that I'm not even sure are there any more) but I've seen the lanky git standing for hours on end eating newts!!! He is very beautiful.
Hosta, there is a chap in Edinburgh who is a leading light in peonies. He wins masses and judges. My plants have never let me down and he is open for advice have a look at Binny Plants i hope this isn’t advertising☹️

They certainly do here LP. It usually starts with "get away from my pond ya lanky big..."
DD, hope your labourer turns up. Frustrating when your work gets held up.
Cold and raining here LP.

I believe this is the heron naming equivalent of 'Mr' or 'Ms' and they are all addressed as such
