Hello, life slowly returning to some kind of normality here. I have skimmed back and see
Fairy has a new car, safe driving Fairy, someone is coping with grumpy teenagers (I recall these days!)😉 Pat has seen horrific road kill, yuk! Dove is reliving her hippy days (Demi’s Roussaus) and staying cool. Chicky is worrying, it never stops whatever age they are Chicky. Obelixx you are hot too. Hosta has a yellow house, looks good. Lyn is knitting socks, way behind my skill base hope your oH is better Wonky, Punk how are you doing? Hope you are keeping your fluid levels up Joyce, is it cooler by the coast? (Oh didn’t go to golf today)you keeping cool?
our walled garden is reading 37.8. Never known anything like it. My sister is in Thailand and we are hotter than there! There will be a lot of watering to do here tonight.
Has anyone had a cataract operation?

It's me with the tantrums and she's 23! Didn't do them as a toddler or teenager so it's very wearing.
OH had a cataract done in his 40s, brought on early by a detached retina when playing rugby in his early 30s. They tweaked his lens so he didn't need a contact lens any more. Very successful. Still fine 20+ years later.
Blooming hot out there so I'm still lurking indoors and in the shade.
You OK Pdoc? I hope you do get to go to Scotland for a break.

Hello all, so much to catch up on! Glad I'm not the only one that slows the van to let birds fly past or so bees don't splat on the windscreen lol road kill upsets me and I don't want to be the cause of it no matter how small the creature, some people I would happily run over if I was allowed though! Sorry your daughter is giving you grief Obelixx, hopefully she will feel awful with guilt and make it up to you and show her appreciation for the amazing start in life you are helping her with, this may however take some years... Fairy, safe driving, I missed what kind of car you got, I'm looking for another one too but I want an Alpha Romeo 147 and they are quite hard to come by second hand so it could be a while! I hope yours is looking after you! Joyce and Lilyp, stay in the shade, you aren't used to this heat up there! Im not either and as Dove has said, it's knocked my poor hubby sideways! Thank you for all the well wishes all! Hosta, lovely yellow! Now you have a sunny house all year round! Hi Pdoc, hope your well and having some quality garden time! Memory fails me now, I'm working in the heat in workman trousers and steal toe cap boots..all in black! Making up pallets of heavy hot plough metal..it's been a bit warm!!!! Now sat in the garden after making good use of my fantastic new outside tap! Husband donated one of his beers and put a label on it with my name on in the fridge bless him, he's feeling a little better today managed to get out of bed and had a little food. Hello to Clari if your looking in, looking forward to seeing how your garden is getting on, Best wishes to everyone, have a lovely evening.
@WonkyWomble, I was driving along the road leading to work on Sunday morning and there was a magpie pecking at something on the other side of the road. As I passed the magpie flew off and I realised it was a slow-worm. I went onto the other side of the road and reversed back along side it and got out and lifted it onto the grass verge where it slithered off quite happily. I felt all at one with nature.

High walls in my bottom garden don't help either.
