LG ... hope the migraine goes and the revision sticks ... could the two be related perhaps?
Hosta ... I'm struggling to keep up now ....... Looks lovely
I've been out there removing chickweed from the front border ... it's tenacious stuff Grrrrr!
I've also planted some red cosmos and a lupin (grown from seed by Wonky ) out there. I've a cosmos left to slot in somewhere ... goodness knows where tho' ... I'm going to have to do some judicious chopping back.

No more changes @Dovefromabove, honest. The mistake I was making was one we gardeners know only too well: impatience. I left it for a while and it changed.
Can't tell you how many times I fell off a horse with no damage at all but on one occasion I gained 3 cracked ribs - seriously painful - and on another it was a cracked kneecap and torn ligaments which still bovver me to this day. Late 80s and no offers of surgery.
LG - when you have time, try acupuncture for your migraines. Saw a thing on TV about pain relief recently and it seems to be one of the better methods for reducing frequency.

Anyone situated on a straight line between Southwold, Suffolk and Buckingham Palace?
If so, please give the RAF Queen's Birthday Flypast a wave on behalf of my dear late Pa. He used to love watching them form up over Sole Bay and we'd make sure he could see and salute them as they flew low past The Lovely Home by Southwold Common. The timing's not been announced (security) but on previous years it'll be some time between now and one o'clock ... you should hear them coming

Congrats to Punkdoc on the no.10 visit. Will you get a chance to bend the ear of the PM, I wonder? I'd like to be a fly on the wall if so... Also good news about the holiday. Hope it's really restorative.
Fairy, others are right - go for it and get the arm fixed! Not being able to drive will be a PITA but you'll regret it later if you don't get it sorted, I reckon...
Wonky, great to see you! Plants in buckets is great... as is "re-purposing" - my mint is growing in the big terracotta pot (now with holes drilled in the base) which OH's grandmother used to use for preserving eggs in "water glass", many moons ago.
Hi Pat. Sometimes modern technology drives you barmy.
Best wishes for the pergola, and to its constructor, Dove...
LG, hope you manage to overcome the migraines. I'm sure you'll do fine in the exams - it's always easier to learn things if you're really interested in the subject.
And HI to everyone else I haven't mentioned... amongst them the three "busy bees" in France. Glad you're getting some dry weather at last. We could do with some of your rain, to be honest.
I'm faffing about here because I've got sinus/ear pain and keep feeling dizzy. Not good when there's lots to do... the birds have eaten all the fat cake so I need to make another batch, which involves grinding peanut nibs as small as possible, stirring them into melted beef dripping, and letting it all set in various containers so it's suitable sizes and shapes for the different feeders. And the squirrels are eyeing up the ripening strawberries, so I need to net them pronto.
Anyone heard from Clari recently?
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Hi again. Been watching cycle racing in Criterium Du Dauphine. Very lovely scenery.
Punkdoc, funny how once you hear about a place name it keeps popping up. The mother of of one my friends here in the valley passed away this past week, and the funeral was today. The property they owned just east of our range was called “ Gaerloch”. It’s amazing how many places out here were named after the old country.
congrats on your invitation to number 10.
Our son has arrived safely in Singapore. Hubby was able to track the flight all the way on an “ap”. Son and the rest of his University group (40 of them) have a full program for the next couple of weeks. He isn’t happy about the well publicised visit of two politicians visiting Sentosa island while they will be there. 😳 His cat has settled with us happily. I’m getting lots of leg rubs etc.
@Dovefromabove , we're a bit too far West , but last weekend we had the red arrows fly directly overhead. No idea where they'd been / were going, but V impressive nonetheless.
They're not at all bad are they @Hostafan1 ... they sometimes 'put up overnight' at Norwich International Airport (yes, that's what it's called) and fly almost directly over us on their way there ... very low .... we don't get passenger planes low overhead despite the airport being less than a £10 taxi ride away, only hot air balloons and the air ambulance so we really notice if the Red Arrows are about
I've popped some pics on the Garden Gallery ... June is bustin' out all over ...

Nice avatar, Hosta!
