    Morning 😘,

    Ooh @Hostafan1 that doesn't sound good. 😱

    Just a quick hello and straight off to 'work'. Well actually moving plants. The long awaited planning permission came in 12 hours before the builders were due to start on Plan B. So all change and mad dash to get equipment, materials etc. to build original deck. Now I've got to move the plants quickly whilst he digs out the footings. Gosh, nothing is ever simple in my life. 🙄😁

    Good day all, especially @Hostafan1 I hope you're ok. 🤗

    Poor you @Hostafan1 ((hugs)). 
    Probably just as well we’re not staying with you on Thursday then 😉

    Good morning @D0rdogne_Damsel ... I suppose it’s better that the planning permission came through before work had started ... but what a lot of hassle. Hope things are more straightforward from now on. Good luck and drink coffee ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ and don’t forget to feed yourself occasionally.

    Good morning everyone!  @Hostafan1 I hope you get some relief - I don't know what you have, but it sounds agonising!  @D0rdogne_Damsel - yes, photos before and after are always welcome.   I hope you are having clement weather, too.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

     It kind, Hosta. Just concerned. It sounds like a repeat of earlier experience.  Look after yourself. 🥰

    We’ve got another overcast day here and not very warm. I lifted a few self  seeded parsley plants from the garden and put them into individual 6” pots and into a corner of the green house. Hopefully they’ll still give a few leaves over winter.

    Morning all/afties Pat - hope you're not too chilly. That storm they were mentioning on our news sounded pretty hideous. Your country has had a right battering in the last year.  :/
    @Hostafan1 - you must have thought you were 'over' that. Hope the doc can offer some help. Is it something you're eating, or not eating?
    Went out at half six to avoid the morons. Nice and cool too. Our forecasted rain for last night didn't quite come far enough inland, so I've none to spare for you @Allotment Boy. Sorry. So many places struggling with none if the offing.  :/
    The wee birds are looking rough -must be lots of little 'uns. There was a little coal tit clinging to the wall of the house yesterday. He's probably trying some proper social distancing from his screaming weans....
    Only a matter of time really - on our news yesterday.

    There's no explaining the behaviour. I'm nearer those hills than they are. A*****les.
    Not exactly being set an example though, are they?
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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