    Good morning!
    Great photos Hosta! I only caught a brief view as the clouds were gathering. 
    Have a good mid-week day all.

    We didn’t see the moon at all as we had thick cloud ... it’s almost all gone now ... we have blue skies and bright sunshine now 😎 and there’s a very noisy green woodpecker somewhere close by 😃

    I don’t think we’ll see the eclipse tonight. It’s been cloudy all day. Lovely shots of it Hosta. LilyP, my best thoughts have been with you. Hope you come good soon. Have you any idea where you picked it Up? Not your hospital visits I hope.

    Morning all/afties Pat.
    Lovely shot Hosta. Too cloudy here for anything.
    Bit of light rain just now but more for later, so I'll get out for a walk before that starts. 
    Has anyone been following then story about the little twins who've been separated? You'd need a heart of stone not to be moved by it. When you think of all the sh*te going on in the world it's good to have something so positive. Those surgeons, and all the nursing staff involved, are quite magnificent. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    Hi all

    Happy hols. @Lily Pilly. I think our previously discussed liquid intake strategy should come in handy.  :)

    On a more depressing note, what is this all about? Not just Scotland, why is the UK so much higher than the rest of Europe?

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Couldn't see the eclipse here either - clear sky but the moon was still below the horizon (we're on a north facing slope). Nice photos, Hosta.

    Have a lovely holiday, LilyP  B) Where are you cruising? Think I missed that bit.

    No rain here still. Maybe Friday, they say now, so time for a really quite long walk before it, FG

    Hello folks, havent been on here for weeks.  (Too busy gardenening!!) Have got De Quervains, and osteo arthritus both hands,(fingers,thumbs,wrists) left worse, (of COURSE I am left handed!) so have been feeling very low, rest your hands, dont do anything that hurts!! I dont have a magic fairy that dresses me and takes me to the loo, if anyone has one, can I borrow him/her please. Am 6 weeks behind with everything gardenwise, and what I can do, takes me ages.  Anyway, toady is my 20th Wedding Anniversary, (golly, I almost put Birthday there!) I thought Hubby had forgotten, NO, woke up to an orchid,bottle of vintage cava, and soppy card.  Was watering from garden 7.30 today, bloke brings bouquette from our youngest daughter, which has dusty pink roses,veronica,erygium, (been trying to grow them for years) bought 3 this year, various daisies,snap dragons, even an eonium, a real English country garden in a vase, lovelly.

    Worrying table Punkdoc. Just as well Australia isnt included in it. I suspect it would be high. 

    Here’s my effort with the eclipse. Just a little cut in the top right side. At least the clouds opened up for me. 



    We’ve been watching the little conjoined twins progress, as well. So glad they’ve been successfully separated.

    Good pics @Hostafan1.   We saw it happening as we went to bed and it was still at it some time later when I got up to check progress before finally putting down my Kindle.   Have to say it was fuzzy at the edges and just looked like clouds passing in front from here except for having clear stars about.

    Been to the vet with Bonzo this morning as his limp has not gone away.  We have to go and see an osteopath now as the limp is intermittent.  He's currently hiding under the furniture because I've done the flea and tick stuff since we got back and he doesn't like it.  Rasta couldn't care less.  Zen doggy.

    So pleased you can go on your hols @Lily Pilly.  Enjoy, relax, take care.

    Hope you get a hill or two in @Fairygirl .  No rain in sight here so we'll be moving all the pots to the shelter of an open barn today so they get no direct sun and less wind and no-one can see me watering them.  Not prepared to lose my investment and having them all together will make a micro climate.

    No idea what that is @Dovefromabove .

    @Punkdoc - seems to me it's a general malaise.  Scotland has some of the finest foods in the world but also some of the worst diets and one of the highest rates of heart disease so, somehow, the message about personal care and health management is not getting thru to the poorest and most susceptible.  Is that a government or social or an economic failure or all three?
