    Morning all.
    Looks like being a warm day. I'm wearing a summer dress.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    I’ve got no vest or socks I’ve painted my toenails and have my Scholl wooden sandals on. 

    That’ll make it rain and water OHs grass seed 😂 🌧 

    Brilliant @punkdoc ... hugs to you and Moira x

    Well yesterday was a beautiful day, and today looks set to be the same.  Too hot for gardening (not often you say that in April) so we all sat around in the sunshine reading, sewing or tapping away on a laptop.  Think today will be a repeat performance.  Tomorrow much cooler, so will be back to putting the finishing touches on the new fence, and another weeding session.

    Had our now customary Saturday family games night via zoom - got Dad looped in now, plus my nephew who is currently in New Zealand (early morning for him).  Many giggles 🤭 

    Hope everyone has as good a day as possible .....compost and chocolate sounds like a very promising start 😍

    Thanks @Dovefromabove
    Been trying to keep a low profile these last few days, because my beloved NHS has let me down.
    Mum was discharged 2 days ago, more confused than she has ever been and refusing to eat. Hospital did not even bother to let me [ next of kin ] know. She is now back in her flat with my little sis illegally sleeping on her floor and caring for her.
    Luckily MIL is doing much better, just waiting for a place in a convalescent hospital.

    Happy Easter everyone and stay safe.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    @punkdoc ... it’s not the NHS ... it’s the ‘interface’ between them and Social  Services ... I’ve  seen it so often 😢

    Oh @punkdoc. Hope your sis can make a difference. What the hell can you do though  :(
    No institution is perfect, which is the problem. Doesn't make it any easier though.

    Love your 'gig' list.
    It's bit brighter here now, and just about double figures, so I'll try and do something worthwhile outside for a while. At least I can now fill pots and the tomatoes will have something to grow in when they eventually get big enough. Not germinated yet.

    It'll be interesting to compare my two big pots of sweet peas later - one [already done] will be mainly upturned turf/soil and the other will have about half turf/soil and half compost. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    Punkdoc, your best yet. Wonderful. It’s great to laugh out loud.
    Sorry about Mum. Hope your sister can manage. Etc.

    Good afternoon  
    Thought I'd say hello while I'm reading around the new layout. 
    Have a good day.  :)

    Good afternoon Bunny  :)
    The sun has clouded over a little here but it's still lovely and warm.  Just having a coffee break in the garden. Lovely to be able to hear the bird song with so much less noise from people and traffic!
