    HaHa Pat it seems you have become quite the composer with your boobs and dottys!
    That Regina sounds like a bit of a one!  :open_mouth: 
    Had to go out and water some plants last night. It has rained since August!!! Wassatabout?
    Enjoy your Monday.

    Up in the small hours with Hosta bovver and didn't nod off again till after juice and coffee at 7ish so have only just surfaced.   Sunny again so I'm planning to weed the bed at the front, prune the dead sticks of the salvias and gauras and plant out the lovely big crinums as soon as I've been to open up the PT and uncover the toms.

    OH has spent an inordinate amount of time stripping bamboo canes when what I really need if for him to weed the bed where I'll be growing salads this year.  No idea about priorities.  Nothing we're growing needs a cane yet tho he does have an ambition to set some up and net the fig tree this year so the pigeons don't get them all.

    Pat we did the Ghan to train from Alice to Adelaide when we were in Oz.   Lovely train but not much to see apart from budgies and galahs in the occasional tree and cows beneath.   Looking forward to Portillo's journey on TV.

    Looking forward to Portillo in Oz too - wonder what the Bradshaw/Appleton equivalent is?  Would love to do the Ghan .....the nothing to see for miles and miles must be a great way to appreciate just how vast the outback is.  I did it on a greyhound bus once - will never forget it.

    Pat - I think boob-dotty is a fantastic name for a uke rhythm .....it could catch on  ;)

    Beautiful day again here - we’re off on our own train adventure, minus the camera crew and the shouty trousers 🚂🚂🚂

    Morning all.
    Awake again but I reckon I had over 6 hours so not bad. 
    Glorious sunny day.
    I need to see how to get my new "potting bench" from Waitrose to my polytunnel.
    Devon.

    I think you can appreciate the vastness at places like Uluru, Chicky, and at least there are rocks and gulleys.  The Ghan is a lot to pay to stare at nothing altho we had a night train so slept thru a lot.  Good dinner and breakfast but literally nothing to see.

    I don't mind his shouty trousers or the shouty jackets but not both at once.  Some of his colour combos are just off.   I tried to persuade OH he'd like a colourful jacket but he tells me he'd be happy not to buy another jacket in this life.

    Our greenhouse staging is cast off stainless steel units from Mr C’s work kitchen - rescued from the skip ten years ago.  Brilliant things.  Good luck getting your find home Hosta (can’t you sneak it into a home delivery van  ;) .....or would that be too cheeky  :p )

    Morning all, Loved the dog video Hosta, cows are such inquisitive creatures.

    Beautiful day again, ache quite a bit from yesterday so not sure what I will do in the garden today, need to find a home for new rose and think I might need to remove some geranium pheum which has seeded everywhere. 

    Have a lilac palibin which I might move/remove it's a bit dull but it might just be that it needs a sunnier site to show off in.

    There's an NGS garden open in Bridgnorth which I would quite like to visit but the bank holiday traffic is putting me off.  Don't fancy being stuck in a car in such lovely weather.

    Have a good day folks.

    Morning all, afternoon Pat 😊 another beautiful sunny day here! 
    Very unusual situation here this weekend.... the large and exceptionally noisy Romanian family that live above us have gone away....all at once, first time in over two years that we haven't been woken by them or heard them constantly... I'm scared to get used to it but the peace is so lovely!!! So I'm going nowhere!!! Staying at home to enjoy the novelty of silence! 😀 garden awaits!
