Well the plumber has arrived bright & early, he not started where he first said so we have to move a load of things again. Never mind he is cracking on with it. Dry here so far but dark clouds keep rolling in. Stay safe everyone.
Hello all. Fingers crossed for @AuntyRach and @punkdoc that the worst is over, and the predicted rain is less severe this week.
Sun's shining here today after monumental hail and thunder yesterday, so the builders are cracking on with the external insulation, and also removing the concrete path round the house, which has sunk and broken, so they can replace it with a new one continuous with the path round the extension. We have the same problem, @Allotment Boy, with workmen saying they'll do one thing and then deciding to do something else... we keep moving furniture from one side of the living room to the other...
Camera sorted. The guy in the shop ( 60 mile round trip )removed the battery and put it back and it worked. YES, I DID TRY THAT TOO, SEVERAL TIMES. My bargain £50 to 99p bouquet
We forgot, me in France, him in Norfolk. I like those roses.
Rained. Been a quiet day here, typed up minutes of yesterday's meeting, dusted the sitting room, did the ironing, watched the 2nd episode of The Pale Horse (weird).
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Didn't think much of Pale Horse either but I do like the lead actor.
Had a good afternoon at Patch with everyone doing embroidery of one sort or another. Much laughter and chat tho quite a few ladies missing on grandma duty as it's half term here. No mosaic so I popped in to a DIY to get some bits of wood I need to sort out an old kitchen unit we're recycling in the annex. Once that's done I can get out in the garden, weather permitting.
Fingers crossed for a few dry days in the UK now.

Hope the cold eases, @WonkyWomble.

I bought Moira a lovely bunch of red Tulips.

I'd rather a nice bunch of tulips . I think red roses are a little unimaginative, but for 99p??????
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Lovely view of Venus in the sky at the moment.
