    Been busy.  Pottering, mowing, skyping with OH and Possum and then walkies.  Just cooling off before going out to water the pots and then dinner, shower and bed.

    No football.  No tennis.

    Bless him ... OH has been out and given the buddleja in the front west-facing bed five gallons of water ... it was looking very limp.

    Thanks raisingirl  :).   No beer available ...shortage of fizz I believe.

    Dove - do you shout at the telly too ?  Lots of squealing, gasping and head holding here

    She is calmer - they finally got an apartment sorted today and her Pa has bought her some clothes.   What's not to be calm about?  They have some paperwork to do tomorrow and then will drive home on Thursday.

    I shout at the telly when the script writer gets it wrong, especially when they're messing with a  story I know well - Jane Austin, Agatha Christie and so on.

    Blissfully unaware of all things football here. The joy of being in control of the remote... :D
    Not been on for a while - it's been slightly more pleasant here yesterday and today with a breeze, so I was able to go out after work and at lunchtime, and potter about. Busy day again at work - someone's order had disappeared [carrier problem] so we had to redo it all and get it to her. Of course, the original one turned up a couple of hours later  :/
    Sorry I missed you Joyce - you could have popped in as I was at home. Thinking of you - hard time just now. Hope you're ok x
    Congrats to OH Dove. Can't have him lounging about not earning his keep  ;)
    Nice to have a bit of time - just the two of you doc. If I was nearer, I'd come and do your pots. Think it's a wee bit far though... ;)
    Lovely sweet peas chicky - you're right about the scent. I enjoy them a lot. Mine are still a bit away from flowering, but the neon pink dianthus are flowering their heads off, so I brought a few into the house. 
    Glad it's all settled down a bit Obelixx. Kids eh? Love em...couldn't eat a whole one...
    Swimming costumes....nope...means nothing to me  :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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