Morning all. None of the forecast rain has , as yet, arrived. I need it as an excuse to spend the day in the tunnel. Lots of salvia and gauras ready to make cuttings and I've still not cut back all the penstemon in the garden for the same reason.
No rain here either yet - but I believe its on its way. Noticed my gauras have survived the winter too (they don’t always 🥳).
Glad your powercut was only a little one @Lizzie27 ......makes you realise just how much we use it for when its absent 🤓. And glad that Aunty enjoyed her party 🎉 @Allotment Boy. Asparagus .....Yum 😋
Ooops nearly forgot @LG_ ......good luck to Bow today. GCSEs are the worst - so many subjects, so many exams .......and good luck to you and the rest of the LG household too - it’s a long haul 😱🤪🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Thanks Chicky . One exam today, a two day exam next week, then the proper long haul of 24 more starts a week and a half after that. Fun fun fun.
Cool today, and rain due later. I'm not convinced that'll happen, but I'm going to attempt a bit of lawn rescue this morning in preparation. Last year's drought has left it in a terrible state.
Have a good day, all.

Housework today. We are off to Norfolk tomorrow. Daughter 2 and family coming to stay for a long weekend followed by the housesitter. I hope the garden in Norfolk won't have dried out. I did some new planting before we left last time. The sweet elderly neighbour next door offered to water the new plants.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hi all. Just back from a rare trip into Sheffield, buying books for the summer. Very grey day here, hoping for the forecasted rain. That damage is terrible fidget. My best wishes to all exam takers.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

That's just horrible, @fidgetbones. The perpetrators should be locked up - fines don't seem to deter them...
Best wishes to Bow and all others suffering exams. And their long-suffering families...
It's a lot cooler today. Hope the rain materialises - the water butt is virtually empty.
