Hello all hectic day charging about all over the place keeping son company on a shopping trip ... clothes and a new car ... but now I'm home, have been fed and have my feet up. I might not do much of anything else for the rest of the day.
Tomorrow I may have a bit more of the same as today .................
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Evening - hope everyone doing ok. Feet up here too - I’ve vacuumed, shopped, cooked, visited and done a bit of gardening. Just watching bbc2 The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes: Norway - gorgeous scenery even if you don’t like the houses. @Hosta - think those rats are feasting on their last meal 😬
Not feeling very good now – exhausted I think.
Sat down on the sofa after lunch to watch a bit of Daily
Politics and woke up nearly 3 hours later. Have been to Luçon
and done my shop but very hot – 31.5C at 7:30pm - and feeling a bit bleugh so
planning a quiet evening watching recordings.
Need to pot on or plant out babies tomorrow so they can cope with heat and move into shade the pots I didn't get to today.
Hosta - never just one rat.
Busy - I sowed some beans at OH's request and then he told me he's not keen on green beans and meant runners which I don't like. Good to know they don't like heat - excuse for never growing any. I expect my lovely Cos lettuces will be bolting soon.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

BL - if you turned those numbers round it would be more like our temps here! Single figures overnight for a few nights too.Wet and windy, but it's helped the garden. Glenys - that's really horrible for your OH. It takes ages for them to heal and not much you can do. Hope the painkillers offer some relief. I can sympathise. I didn't get mine X-rayed back in February, but as they were still giving me some pain 8 weeks later, I assume I may have cracked one or two. Hosta - hope those bu**ers don't hang around too much longer. We used to get them in the feed bins at work....it was a lottery when you put your hand in... My sweet peas will be a while yet LP. I didn't get around to doing them till a bit later this year, and with the cold weather, they've taken even longer than normal. Usually July anyway for mine. Have you got any growing? I know you had a few problems earlier on. Bet you're glad that's over LG. I'm sure you've done well. Award yourself a nice treat of some kind. R'girl - it's a nice bit of crunchy protein. Nice pix Dove - lovely when Ma nature does her own thing I've forgotten everything else now.....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
We are very cold again, but it IS the shortest day, so can’t expect much else. My birthday on 22nd which my old mother always said was the shortest day, but they seem to have changed that in recent years. 😏😂 I have noted sunrise and sunset times today (7.15 - 4.56) and will do the same tomorrow in case they’ve got it wrong!
Good morning all amazing photo Pat glad you got some sleep Hosta . quite warm and muggy here to start with and then the wind got up and rattled the blinds at the open windows, but it was too hot to have them closed, so fitful sleep here. Blue sky and white fluffy clouds

We've just been dining outside under the pergola. It was 31° this afternoon. Bit too hot for me and the runner beans.
Have tidied up the 4 bedrooms the family stayed in and done some more ironing.

Wide awake an hour and a half after going to bed.

Not much planned for today.
Hubby had to get the Drone up to 236 m to get above the fog today. This all that’s visible of our lovely valley.
I would like some sun.
I fell asleep around 2.30.
What a stunning photograph. wow.
Coal face at 7.30 but the sun is shining here.
glad you got some sleep Hosta
