    Thinking of @punkdoc too, and hoping he got some sleep.  That’s a pretty nasty gardening side effect that I’d never really considered 🙀

    Going to fill in an application form to be a volunteer at a local garden ...... taking my next steps and making it real 🤞🏻👍🏻

    Garden club tonight with a talk from a youngster from Kew ......will report back 🙃

    Punk, because of your reaction would an epi pen be worth while?

    Hi all.

    Sleepless night, but a bit better this morning, except one eye is closed due to the swelling.

    thick drizzle here this morning. When did you say you're bringing us some sunshine, Dove? 

    Couldn't tell you when the streetlights are on or off here - nearest one is 2 miles away. That's a Good Thing as far as I'm concerned (I'm sure the bats think so too). But if we're going to get to carbon zero by 2050, lots more places are going to have to consider 'going dark' for some of the time. Hopefully light pollution will be cut, as well - if every Watt counts, can't be wasting them lighting up the sky  :)

    Best wishes to the Doc. Nasty. I've been stung a few times but that many all at once? **shudders**

    Morning Pat - hope the arrival of Spring will help you feel a little more lively.

    Hello everyone else.

    Got to get back to work

    Hosta Hugs to you @punkdoc, sounds hideous.

  • @raisingirl  we’ve scheduled the Indian Summer to start 19/20th Sept .... we’ve managed to get it right every other year ... and 2017 we promised @Hostafan1 warm dry weather starting with our arrival at the end of May, and look what happened then 🥵🤭

    No street lights in our village. But I do wonder about the power needed to produce batteries and then their disposal. It seems that nothing is simple.

    im still struggling with energy Raisingirl, but I’ll be having a stern talk to my Doc next visit. Not happy with the new tablets.🙄

    Glad you're ok @punkdoc :)
    Getting exciting now @chicky - not long to go  :)
    We've had some rain, but it's gone off now, so perhaps I can get on with my new project today, and also get some planting finished. I've been very naughty - I've ordered more bulbs  :(
    I think in some areas, streetlights are necessary - I also don't think it's straightforward, but councils could do with experimenting a little bit. 
    No slacking @raisingirl - you can't just be sitting around chatting all day you know ....

    Good morning.   Hope your last swellings go down soon @punkdoc.   Which garden @chicky?

    Cool start today but it will get warmer later and be positively summery again for the weekend and next week.   I have bank stuff to do this pm for the patch club but am then free to play for the rest of the week.   That will include processing more tomatoes but we're not making passata with this beauty.  The coin is £1 size.

    We had another one with a pesto dressing for dinner last night - delicious - and there' still more than half left. 

    I have cabbage, broccoli and oak leaf lettuce plugs to plant out and seeds to sow and a room to prepare for guests arriving on Sunday.

    Have a good day all, whatever your weather.

    Blimey @Obelixx- that would fill my greenhouse!
    Nice dahlias in the vase.
    I've ordered wildflower seeds now. There's no hope for me....
