On the Met Office website they are saying we may get some rain this afternoon and there's certainly some cumulonimbus building up to the west . Just heard a buzzard mewing ... went out to have a look but the sky here is too bright to really see him/her.
We've just realised that the last time we cut the grass was before we went on holiday in mid May ... and the only plants tall enough to mow are the Cat's Ear weeds that have appeared from nowhere.

apart from the ice lollies bit, yeah. I delivered to a really old , very low ceilinged cottage. I asked how old it was " older than the Doomsday Book coz it got a mention"
Hope it was gorgeous too Hosta. I once had an Tex/Mex American come to our house in Belgium. How old is it? Well, this brick version was started in 1770 or thereabouts and incorporated an older, smaller house. Wow! That's older than my country! Not hard over this side of the pond.
OH and Possum have arrived home safely. Dogs beside themselves as expected. Pussies fussing too. Car unpacked, shopping stashed and he's off out with his doggies while I sort out Possum whose bedroom has changed and then get on with the bed I've been trying to weed for 3 weeks. Every time I get distracted by something else it grow a new batch.

Hello all. Didn't have time to drop in over the last 2 days. On Tuesday we and our friends left early to get the Cambridge for the rehearsal (of the concert OH sang in last night in Ely Cathedral). I spent a lot of time in John Lewis just looking around. We met for lunch then split up and each couple went off to explore. Then we went to Vespers in Kings College Chapel, then went for a snack, hardly time before evening rehearsal. I was surprised that the acoustics were so poor, very echo y and muffled, but they sang on the wrong side of the huge, carved, wooden screen. Got back very late.
Yesterday we went to Ely in time for lunch, followed by dress rehearsal, but not in dress, just the whole thing without a stop. I went shopping, bought a pretty skirt (Laura Ashley) and top in the Cancer Research shop. The concert in the evening was great, went very well, standing ovation. Home very late again. Then this morning we took our friends to the station, then went to Tesco.
This afternoon I made an asparagus and cheese quiche for a charity lunch we are going to tomorrow.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Sounds as if a brilliant time was had by all BL ... so glad
No sign of the rain they sort of said might happen ... I've put the soaker hose on the Shady Bank ... it really can't wait for rain any longer.
Happy doggies are such fun aren't they @Obelixx We're off for drinks and nibbles tomorrow with a former work colleague of OH's ... she has two lovely labradors who love my OH to bits and the feeling is reciprocated

Coal face was fine this morning. Crackington Haven was a bit sea misty , but Widemouth Bay was divine.
