    How's the new dog RG?  Our house guest is very funny.   He's come out of his shell and loves to play but when we throw toys or a ball he collects them all up in a pile.......   
    SShhh - he's asleep at the moment, digesting breakfast. 
    It's always entertaining to watch a new dog finding his way in an existing 'pack' (however small). Your lodger has presumably now sussed the house rules and is feeling a bit more sure of what he's allowed. By the time he has to go home, you'll all be completely used to one another  :smile:

    I think we may get a day without rain here, too, although it's been a lot more than a week for us. Probably more like 3 weeks - I haven't been counting.

    I reckon I've almost caught up with my work so will hopefully get a few hours in the garden today, cutting back and propping up things that have flopped over in the wet, probably. May get the grass cut tomorrow if it stays dry today.

    Can’t go out into the garden other than to sit in the corner of the terrace behind the grapevine ‘cos the young blackbirds are being told to grow up and find their own food by their dad, and the goldfinches are all over the sunny bed harvesting the Centaurea Montana seeds ... so I’ll just drink coffee and get ready to go to the writing group (I have a ‘humorous’ poem on the difficulties of writing on this month’s subject entitled ‘War & Peace ... but not that one’ and some other stuff still in need of work). 

    OH has been told he can take the containers out from underneath the table on the terrace ... we don’t have any storms forecast for the next few days 😃

    Hi all

    Looks like we might have a day without rain, would be the first in a week, must get the rest of the Cannas, Dahlias, Ricin and the Colocasia planted.

    Looks like we have a dry day as well, in preparation  for torrents all day Sunday.

    Happy birthday @Pat E
    Big to do list today, but very little done, just a bit of mooching.
    Moira is at another interview today, I need her in the garden really, so don't know how I feel about it.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    @punkdoc good luck for Moira ... maybe if she gets the job you could afford a Sheffield version of @WonkyWomble for a few hours a week ... she got through no end of stuff when she came here for a few hours ...
