Baby's bathwater yesterday had to be supplemented with kettles of hot water. Back to the old days... boiler engineer has been, diagnosed a faulty sensor... don't know when he'll be back to fit it. Ah well. At least the central heating works, if we don't run the hot water.
Hope you're cooling down a bit, Pat!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I've just haggled and bought the last 9 packs of allium bulbs . " they cost us £2 a bag to buy in" " well, if I give you £2 a bag for them then you've lost nothing. You know they should have been planted weeks ago?" " yeah , go on then £2 a bag" I've now got to get 135 bulbs planted before I go on holiday.
I did that when Parkers had bulb clearance. For very little money, I had to find homes for hundreds of bulbs. I ended up digging a trench between the asparagus and throwing them in. They will make cut flowers for the house.
Hostafan, don't you have a lovely new wide border to fill?
Well, that was a nice surprise! I've just opened my emails to find one from John Lewis Partnership with an "e-voucher" for £20 to mark my 5 years with the Partnership. I wasn't expecting that.

Morning all.
Have you gone to Scotland for a holiday, Hosta?
Cold and grey here.
We are going out for fresh fruit and veg. Son 1 and family are back for a night, will need feeding this evening.
