Afternoon all, It's hot, sticky and humid here. I've been tackling the jungle in the back garden, roses are tied up and lots of deadheading. My glasses have been steaming up with the humidity. Lawns have been cut and edges trimmed. I've cut back some geraniums and euphorbias that had gone over. Had to sort out loads of ant nests in the lawn before I could mow.
Haven't even opened the suitcase yet never mind tackle any washing.
Hope all those feeling under the weather improve soon.
Glad to report that all my pants (oops plants) were fine when I got home
I have to admit , I did stand at the window for an age thinking: right... now?, gotta go this time.?... surely now?? A bit like watching those penny waterfall machines at fairgrounds.
I am getting seriously fed up with the weather in France. It never stops raining, unless we are doing something that isn't gardening. I'm getting really worried about my Open Day. Going to England the last few days didn't upset anything as it poured and stormed here anyway. Thought today would just be cloudy but I have just got soaked trying to plant Cosmos. Planned to garden all afternoon but it keeps pouring. Going away for the weekend, the forecast is good, then planned to spend a week gardening, forecast is dreadful, rain everyday. Will it ever stop? The best days this year have been when we've been in Norfolk. Even then it was raining in France. The rate things are going I will have to cancel the Open Day.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

As for 'not understanding complex issues' ... just let me near him, I'll give him some bdooly complex issues to think about
