    @raisingirl @Dovefromabove @Obelixx Luckily I am ok reading on a train (definitely can’t do it in a car, which is where podcasts come in handy).....and yes, music has to be classical (or at least something with no words) to block out distractions.

    just read in an article that CK is 73 .....and looking very well on it 😀

    Afternoon all. Just popped in from the garden to eat some lunch - having a lovely time even though it's drizzling - SO grateful for the rain on Sunday. Am planting out / potting on - all a bit late really, but growth was slow with it having been chilly. It's bliss to feel less dusty out there.

    I tend to look out of the window mostly when on a train, though I always have a book with me and endless amounts I can read on my phone. 

    Bow's doing 4 exams today - only the second of them starting now. Poor thing. But after today, just 4 more exams left :smiley: 

    Best get back out there before the rain gets any heavier. See you later.

    I remember not understanding why she didn't fight harder / start again when all that stuff happened with the neighbour and the nursery. But that might explain it - she's got plenty else to do, after all.

    It got heavier! I basked in it a while, but decided to leave the rest until tomorrow.

    Back from tennis 🎾 ... a really good morning ... C said ‘you’re on fire today Dove’ 😁. Back home for a cheese and tomato toastie and a phone call from son who likes to check that, given my record, I’ve survived tennis in one piece.  A Lancashire Hotpot has been assembled and is in the oven 😋 (after all, it is the weather for it eh?) and now I’m sewing up that Aran jumper for Wonky’s Lovely Hub.

    Jacqueline29 posted about it a couple of times, but in its own thread. Haven't watched the second one yet.

    It's absolutely pouring down - wasn't expecting that today. Still loving it though - can almost feel it seeping down and down into the soil.

    I've been watching a family of bluetits on the birdfeeder - they've been back and forth most of the day. The sweet little fledglings get into it (it's a squirrel-proof one) and just stay, pecking away, whereas the adults tend to go in, get what they want, and retire to a nearby branch to eat it. Beautiful.
