    Ouch Liri.  Do you have any arnica?   That should help reduce swelling.

    No... I've used a packet of frozen peas in a towel though.  Nice and soothing.

    'Sake Liri - what are you like!   
    Hope you're ok for your trip....oops, didn't mean that   :D
    The weather's a bit hit and miss just now, but looking quite decent for the lnext week for you. Pity I have to work or I could have given you a hand. Take it easy x
    You look like you've had a lovely day chicky  :)
    The wren is unbelievably cute. We had a young 'un last autumn,  flitting in and out now and again. Lovely  :)
    Been busy outside but had to get some dinner or I'd have stayed out. Rain's come on anyway, although it's a smirr really.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hope your smirr of rain will increase and move this way Fairy.

    Liri, take it easy next week and no clambering up or over walls.

    I hope your foot feels better in the morning, Liri.

    It was a nice day today, 22° not too hot. I pruned the tomatoes and tied up the sweet peppers in the veg garden and weeded the upper middle bed.

    Gosh, 3 months, Obelixx! The children will have to take all their stuff. I'll be downsizing so there will be stuff to get rid of and a lot to throw away, maybe need a skip. What can you put in a skip? I'm not ready to move here yet, still sorting the 2 English cottages. Survey is done, waiting for the report.

    Yes Busy - 3 months from signing the compromis de vente to finalising the purchase and handing over money and keys!   It's 4 in Belgium.   Our house took 10 days to sell from first going on the market so a bit of a shock and you have no idea how tempus can fugit when you have such deadlines.   Better get the family organised.  Just in case.

    Hope you're feeling easier now Liri.

    I have had a busy afternoon doing loads of washing and potting on treasures.  Can't tell you how many humungous snails, fat on my treasures, I've squished from trays and pots plus the dozen in the last batch that I released into the hedgerow across the road, hoping it'll be too hot and dry for them to cross back again.

    Ouch Liri, ice and arnica and brufen did the trick for oh then the tree attacked him

    Chicky, try lying on the floor and putting your legs up on the wall, get as tightly in as you can. Try and stay there fir at last ten minutes.I take magnesium every night.

    Punk congratulations you are right to be proud and we all are of you when we remember what a rotten year you have had  Daughter did Med Hist with IR. I loved  doing it by proxy with her, especially the castles bit!

    Busy be strong with the kids! Took my son 9 years to finally remove his things. Good luck sounds like it’s going to be a busy time for you

    Joyce surely some rain has reached you?

    Pat can you, or someone else give me the link to the jigsaw thread, I can’t find it.

    fed roses their summer feed, all the fruit and veg, sowed the last of the lettuce and dug up the peas as a lost cause!  The dead heading defeated me

    exhausted now, sleep well everyone
