Good morning everyone. I’ve enjoyed reading all your doings. Not any gardening here except for watering my pots. The drought this last year stopped me doing any last year, so not much point in starting now with winter coming on. It was cold this morning. 🥶
Punkdoc, your humour is very special. I love it. It’s a pity you couldn’t get some points on your neighbour. Some people are SO thick!
Thanks to everyone else who has given us a laugh.
We’ve got sun this morning, but not really outside temp yet.
Loving the humorous little ditties, I have seen a lot lately on other sites, all relieves the stress a little bit. Reading all the posts on here is very reassuring too, although life has been turned upside down, normal does carry on, very reassuring.
I had a lazy day yesterday, yes, shock horror, me a lazy day. I ended up reading too many news sites, I get news flashes from the UK and French news sites to my phone, and in the end I was starting to feel very emotional, doom and gloom everywhere. I think we are going through a sort of grief process, maybe I am a few weeks ahead of you people in the UK, shock, pain, anger, depression, hopefully the upturn will come soon. Anyway, I have decided to unsubscribe to the news sites and step away from too much information. The garden is the safest haven.
Luckily the weather is beautiful and seems to be staying that way for a while. Physically I am getting stronger each day, still have a sore throat and a very croaky voice but with no-one to talk so not the end of the world!
So, have a good day all, keep gardening and I will look forward to reading your happy chatter later.

Good morning @Dordogne Damsel 👋 Keep resting ... lounging around with coffee and cake is a known cure for most ills. ☕️ 🍰 Like you, we are limiting our news intake ... the Today programme in the morning, and every few days or so we’ll watch the local BBC news. Other than that it’s just the R2,3 & 4 hourly bulletins which tend to just float over our heads unless they mention something particularly interesting. We’re tending to stay away from mist online news sites. “Sufficient unto the day ...” and all that 😊

Good morning. Bright and sunny again here after quite a fiery looking sunrise. Not a cloud in the sky.
We watch BBC most of the time and find their coverage informative, not sensational and a lot of good advice as well as "feel good" stories from people helping others and the occasional recoveree.
Another coffee for me and then off to do the weekly shop. Gardening later. Time to start on the weeds again in the rose beds where I now have freesias in flower. Chuffed to bits with those.
Make the most of the opportunity to rest and recover thoroughly @Dordogne Damsel
Chin up everyone. Stay safe.

Good morning all. Another beautiful cloud free day. The garden is coming along a treat with under gardener on enforced lock down. Well, he needs stuff to do for 12 weeks!! I took 6 old chunky water lilies from the pond and moved them down to the lake, and pulled a lot of oxygenating weed out. I then moved 6 new plants from the tunnel down into the lake. More weeding and mulching and planted out potted allium bulbs.

hello @Pat E 👋
We have another beautiful sunny if frosty morning ... waves of rosy pink stretching across the sky from the east.
