    No rain here either so I've been sprinkling to loosen up weed roots but then got involved in proof reading Possum's thesis again after some changes and additions.  Long business.  Anyway, managed to do a wee bit of weeding, get some stuff planted, some stuff transplanted and some stuff potted on including - much joy - my first baby clematis form a sowing of Korean "Blue Eclipse".

    Hope you haven't got a sore head Baldy.   Glenys - no heating in winter?

    TBG, careful you don't burn the soles of your feet or you'll be jiggered.
    I enjoyed today's weather because I was sitting out with a friend and not gardening.

    Did a spot of after work gardening - all the Cosmos are now in the ground.  Will try and do the same tomorrow - would be nice to get all my “waiting area” pots planted into the ground now its June.

    Good to see you MrsG .....you’ll have to do a return visit to Chelsea next year now you know what’s what.  Never any good for plant sales, but always lots to feast the eyes on.

    Enjoy Chatsworth MuddyFork - my sister went last year and loved it (she seemed to somehow miss all the traffic)

    Hope Possum’s thesis is shaping up well Obxx - fingers crossed for her 🤞🏻

    The sun arrived eventually and OH cut all the grass  :)
    I made pasties 
    and did some weeding and tidying. A productive day followed by Springwatch  :)
    Now it's time for bed ... says Zebedee  ;)

    Sad not to be going to Chatsworth, this year. Not really up to too much movement at the moment.

    When you don't even know who's in the team

     Very scrumptious looking pasties, Dove. 
    Pity about missing Chatsworth, Punkdoc. 
    I’m off to do my volunteer shift at the little gallery - taking my knitting to fill the time. I don’t expect many visitors today, it’s raining lightly. 😏😄

    night all.

    Morning, another very promising start to the day.
    hope you are heading north soon Punk, it’s traditional the rain starts when the schools stop which is in a fortnight!
    dove I am sure you bought these and are just having us on😉
