    Morning all.
    Another hot day in store.
    Clari, getting back to reduced hours will be good for you and your garden.
    Wrap up warm Pat.

    Good morning all  :)
    That's the best time of the day at this time of year Hosta  ;)
    Clari ((hugs)) you can only do what you can do ... try to prioritise ... some things really can be left for later , your health and time for each other are the important things. 
    OH has just told me he's been feeling a bit grim and running a temperature for the past couple of days ... I knew he had a stuffed up nose but he'd said it was a reaction to pollen and not illness and he's been carrying on as usual. Now he tells me he's been taking paracetamol to keep his temp down and cope with headache. Now he feels a bit better. He really is not a typical chap when it comes to health.  :/<3

    Aw Hosta Hugs to Dove's lovely OH. Bless 'im.
    I went back to bed at 6.30 so my day is already " skew whiff". But , on a majorly plus point. This is my last Tuesday evening shift, EVER.!!!
    Clari , well done on switching your phone off. I switched my mobile phone on , at work, the other day to get a colleague's phone number , for another colleague, then immediately switched it back off. I find it liberating.

    My Lovely OH says Thank You Hosta  :)  While I was in the shower he cycled to W'rose and  got himself some Clarityn tabs ... I said I'd have got them for him if he'd waited ten mins ... bless him  <3

    Congratulations ... hope your last Tuesday evening shift goes ok ... maybe stopping the late working will help with your sleep pattern ... I certainly hope so ((hugs))

    My mobile is often on Silent ... I'll check it when I feel like it  :)

    While we were on holiday I set my phone so that it only accepted calls from Wonky and her brother, Hosta, the friend we were visiting on the way home and the cottage management company ... and even then it was on Silent  B)

    Well, rain has definitely stopped play!  76mm since this morning and none of it forecast but falling on fields and a grassy garden is OK.  Worse in Les Sables d'Olonne which is largely paved and where they had 65mm - almost a month's worth - in just an hour or two of storms last night and that caused flooding in shops and homes.   Miserable.   OH is likely to come home doing his drowned rat impression tho he should dry off at the 19th hole as he's not driving today  Hope he doesn't catch a  chill!

    I trust your OH is OK now Dove.

    My mobile is nearly always switched off, often uncharged and rarely makes it into my bag these days cos I forget about it.  Got told off yesterday when a plumber turned up asking OH questions and he had to call me via a friend at patchwork to get my answers.

    Sorry that rain stopped play Obelixx.  I'll whisper that I would like an overnight shower or two.
