    Morning all. Rain has set in here. I can almost hear the garden applauding. 
    Hope you have had a decent sleep @Yviestevie, so you can face the day - horrible when you have a run of stressful things. 
    Hope everyone has an ok day - catch you all later.

    Morning all. 
    We have rain, for the first time in weeks.
    So sorry for those who've had too much @Liriodendron

    Morning all/afties Pat if you're there.
    Been slightly absent for various reasons , so no idea what's been going on as I've only l skimmed a page or two. Love to Yvie,  huge relief about Gabriel, and hope your Mum improves, and hugs for doc too - too horrible to even contemplate.
    Glad you had a lovely time chicky. Was your weather kind?
    We can share some rain if anyone wants it. Been plenty here, and more on the way later. Thankfully cooler today as that horrible mugginess has cleared.
    I can't be depressed about weather or anything else, because, having appeared for the first time on Sunday afternoon,  these beauties stayed still long enough this morning for me to get a pic.



    A cloud of ten or twelve were dancing around. Delightful. We haven't had them in this garden till now. I'm ridiculously thrilled  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    Morning all!

    Gorgeous butterflies, @Fairygirl - and nothing ridiculous about being thrilled by wildlife, especially when it's as beautiful as those...   :)

    We are much drier this morning.  Thanks for the good wishes!  Hope you get a sensible amount of rain, Hosta.

    Hope Chicklet enjoys her adventures, @chicky.  The wedding sounds great!

    Lovely butterflies @Fairygirl.  The ones we get never stay still enough to identify, let alone photograph and that bullfinch hasn't been back either but all the usual suspects are feasting on double daily seed rations.  Growing families.   Must be at the teenager-raiding-the-fridge stage.

    Hope you get to see the doc today Yvie and that Gabriel has no more such worrying episodes.

    @Chicky - your wedding sounds lovely.  Hope Chicklet travels well and has a great time.

    Lots of busy, low clouds today looking full of rain but not dropping it.   Humph.   Teaching Possum the joys of princess seams today.  Essential for curvy girls.

    Gosh Obelixx, it's a long time since I heard the phrase 'princess seams' ! Takes me back to when I did my City & Guilds course.
