    We’re home from Canberra. Flopping on the lounge. Long day, but ok with the Oncologist. 
    I asked him about the Berries and he couldn’t see any reason why not (if I can find any).

    Get those feet up Pat and hubby. Are you able to watch any of the Chelsea Flower Show via the BBC? I’m catching up on iPlayer.

    Hubby has located some  Miracle Berry tablets on line, so has ordered a small quantity to try out😊

    Good morning all   :) ☕️ 
    Hugs to @Lily Pilly and Little Lily, congratulations to “AuntyRach 🥂, Hugs to Mr and Mrs @Pat E ... 

    i slept slept like a log. 
    Had a lovely day yesterday ... the sun shone and we travelled through lovely countryside ... suffolk gardens are quite a bit ahead of the ones up here. Lots of roses out and growth looking really lush. 
    A walk around Long Melford, then a good lunch and a walk around Lavenham (hadn’t been there for a long while) and a stop for ‘tea and cake’ in the Swan.  As I’m always the driver when we go out it was a change to be able to peat over and through the hedges at the scenery. 

    OH had kept an eye on tomatoes etc here at home  so definitely a good day 😊

    our garden really is a disgrace.  To add to troubles ride on mower blew, OH not at all happy
    I fell yesterday and now have a gammy knee! Lily is better, these episodes disappear as fast as they come. Apparently she has packed her bag twice!

    Morning all/afties Pat. If the berries don't do any harm, go for it. 
    Delighted for you AuntyR. The hard work has paid off. Have a lovely day today.  :)
    Sounds a nice day, Dove.
    Glad little Lily is better, LP. Take it easy yourself. The garden can wait. 
    Fidget - that's a helluva clearance  :/
    Cloudy here, but dry. Physio later and then I'll see what I can get up to outside. Daughter has another 2 hour driving lesson later with the new instructor, after the original decided he was chucking it in, 6 weeks before her test.... 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Knees!   New step in quickstep called the pendulum.  requires nifty sideways swings of both legs together after a hop and a skip.  Knees screamed.  Have adpated it so OH swings while I wait to move again.  Cripes!

    Sunny start here and feeling gently warm.  About time too.  Only a month to go to the longest day and we're still getting cold at night.

    Good for little LP.   Ouch for big LP.  Our sit-on is also on its last legs with its blades housing held together with Heath Robinson inventiveness.  I think we need a sturdier model for this plot.

    Hope the pills work Pat.   Sounds like a very good day Dove.  

    Hugs to all who need them.  Hope everyone has the best day they can.

    Fidget that clearance is heartbreaking. I have no other words. 

    Warm, sunny, dry again today. A bit of gardening and lots of housework / life admin to do.

    I've just heard that Judith Kerr has died, aged 95. An amazing and interesting woman. I didn't read her books as a child, but read When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit as an adult and became a bit of a fan - read many of her other books, went to an exhibition, watched TV programmes about her etc. RIP.

    Wishing all with poorly knees, or just poorly, a better day. Obxx your description of that step sounds painful in itself! Good luck at physio, FG.

    Like this LG - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkGBCgDvtpg Been doing it for years but not recently.  Easy peasy with "stable" knees.

    Nice day here.  I have patch homework and research to do but may just end up outside......
