    Managed to negotiate another lawn incursion. Went straight for the less to mow gambit😀
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I now have enough Manure in a huge pile (full tipper trailer load) to last at least two years, possibly three, and it doesn't even smell.
    The path has been cleared of a lot of ivy so I can actually get up to it.
     Butterflies are fluttering about.  The sun is shining. It is my brothers birthday and it looks like he will be having a BBQ for him, his son and his wife.  Never mind, we will have a huge party in the summer when all this mess is behind us.

    I decided to sacrifice some of the eggs and made chocolate cakes [fairy cakes- natch] 

    Well - it beats beating them.... ;)
    No sun here @fidgetbones- so I'm looking out at my grass turning black after I applied mosskiller  :D

    I'll put a lit candle into a cake for your bro ....

    My Under Gardener is an untypical male ... yesterday ... while I was occupied elsewhere, the herb bed grew in size and the back 'grass' became noticeably smaller  B):joy:

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    You chose a good 'un, @Dovefromabove.   :)

    A pot of stratified Rosa rugosa seeds, collected on a whim from my Yorkshire garden just before we left, is full of little seedlings.  I feel a rose hedge coming on...   :)
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    I want an undergardener...stamps foot and scowls....

    I've already had my RTBC today. I timed the 'hanging out washing' perfectly. The sound of silence [other Paul Simon songs are available] was only broken by a familiar sound of buzzards. Couldn't see them at first due to their height, and some cloud,  then they appeared - two of them, and came right over the house. 
    What a welcome sight, and made me a bit emotional. Stupid old bint.  :'(

    They bring out a big grin here @Fairygirl.   Lovely views of a pair of them alternating between perching on our fence posts and wheeling round each other in a clear blue sky.  magic.

    My undergardener is not grinning.  The new drive belt he bought for the mower doesn't fit.  Mind you, he did order one for a similar machine assuming it would fit his model.............
