Hubby made pasta tonight - fine noodle size this time. Very nice. He threw together a stew/sauce from leftover roast turkey wings including the gravy from Wednesday’s dinner. Not bad. Steamed Brussels Sprouts, Broccoli, Carrots and potatoes.
Flopped in front of TV now watching Chris Tarrant crossing the Andes on several trains.
Ps Liri, thanks for the info about the Gunnera. I don’t grow it here - haven’t tried, but we’re so dry, that I’d probably have to plant if around the dams.
I've instantly forgotten everything I've just read too Pat Hosta - does hubby not normally wear full leather anyway.... Happy anniversary to Wonks and Mr Wonks steephill - that sounds pretty frightening. Glad you're ok. Don't take too much of the 'falling over juice' anyway - just to be on the safe side.... Gunneras grow well enough up here, despite the cold weather/frost/snow/wind. They get big, so usually have a lot of cover for the cold weather. The one at work is exposed to all sorts but the foliage protects it - even in severe frosts and the many snowfalls we get. The islands get less frosts, but the wind makes it difficult for lots of things to thrive. Doesn't affect gunneras though. We're only just getting a grip on that r*ddy rhododendron... Dove - how good are you at guessing the year on Popmaster? When in doubt - plump for 1973 - it was a good year We have noisy machines on so much at work, that I often only hear half a question
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fairygirl - I am sure I will be fine, I have lots of experience of the falling down water after all these years It is also a good excuse to avoid all those blood-letting jobs in the garden - brambles etc. although I may have to remove a few panes of glass from the greenhouse to get at the crop.
Evening. Hot and bothered all day in work and now hot and bothered after making supper. It’s very humid - not a puff of breeze.
Anyone had trouble with their Lace Cap Hydrangeas this year? Mine have dried-up centres with only a few ‘flowers’, but leaves ok. They did get very dry in June...

Fingers crossed for more than 5 hours tonight.
