    Good morning all  :) ☕️ I had the best night I’ve had for a while, thankfully ... and the morning looks gorgeous ... must sort out the little lean-to greenhouse to make room for seedlings ...it’s become a repository for all sorts of stuff including the Under Gardeners gardening shoes ... and there’s tennis too today ...

    Hi all.
    Think it is going to be nice today.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Morning all. Nice here too. A gardening day. Why am I sitting in the kitchen looking at the Laptop? See you later.

    BL - would a good rug not be cheaper and warmer for your feet?  One of the kilim types that you can easily pick up, shake up and even wash if needs be.

    Quite fresh here this morning in the breeze but warm in sheltered spots.  It'll be Okey-Kokey with layers then.  Have started with some furniture moving in the Cave while OH was out practising his golf.  That way it's too late for him to grump but he arrives just in time to help complete the move.  Haven't told him what's going in the vacated space as it will frighten and/or trouble him.

    Lunch next then rose and clem planting for me and maybe a choisya too that's in flower and perfumed.

    Enjoy your chicklets Chicky.  We've been bingeing on The Crown.  Good stuff but I'll need to do a bit of patchwork homeowrk later so I have some hand sewing to do.  Can't sit idle or it leads my hands to little Milka chocolate eggs.

    Careful at tennis Dove!  Not the best time of year for you new strains and sprains.

    Hosta - I do hope they're good grasses and not those tatty little tenuissimas.

    @Obelixx, there are some little Stipa, because I love them, and lots of other stuff too.

    I like several stipas, just not the tenuissima.

    Back from tennis in one piece. Bread made. Two lines of washing out. Rear neighbours’ builders using some sort of gas burning flame throwing equipment. Very noisy. I’ve come indoors. The forecast for tomorrow is even better than today and hopefully the builders will be doing something else do I’ll do today’s garden jobs tomorrow. 
    Think I’ll find my book ....

    Evening. I hope you are well and have some outdoor time? 
    Doing our fave tea - schnitzel 😋 I only had a cinnamon bun for lunch so I can have chips as well as salad I think. 
    My garden and I live in South Wales.
