    Morning all. Sun is shining.
    Friends are popping in for coffee in the garden this morning now we are allowed to meet someone, him for OH and her for me, keeping 2m apart. I think in France it's 1m now. Last saw them 2 months ago before the lockdown.

    I hope everyone has good weather and enjoys the day.
    Welcome @tuikowhai34 I see you are in France, usually @Obelixx who lives in France and I am here, as well asĀ 
    @D0rdogne_Damselwho you've met.Ā I've had a week off and I'm in England as my flight back to France was cancelled. Obelixx has Internet problems at the moment.

    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Morning all/afties Pat. Hope you're not too chilly.
    Hope you're ok today @Busy-Lizzie :)
    Nice to see some blue sky today, and Ken's just played Divine C's #National Express. Brilliant.
    Things I discovered yesterday - Pulp's #Disco 2000 is the perfect tempo for me to walk to.Ā 
    Back grass needs a trim today after all the rain. Might give my flowing mane a going over with the mower too. I may even get the bark down in the front border, as rain stopped play t'other day.Ā 
    All you old folk with your aches and pains after weeding etc. I don't know..... :D
    30 on Popmaster yesterday @Dovefromabove. Good bonuses on round 2. I awarded myself a piece of chocolate fudge cake that I made for fairylet.Ā

    Aha @Fairygirl OH beat you for once 😮  he got 33 for the second round, 21 for the first. I made a respectable (for me) 15 and 24 😊

    I love that too @Dovefromabove [N & N] - I always thought of you and OH when it was on the radioĀ  :D
    The lyrics on N. Express are just brilliant though. 'from the family man, man-hand-ling a pram'Ā 
    Gets me every time, although the best lines are the other bit - the jolly hostess with the large bahookieĀ  ;)

    Only managed a 24 today, 21 in the first round.Ā  :/
    Must try harder.....

    @Fairygirl  We got 21/27 for the first round and an awful 9/18 for the second. But I won the tie-break 😊

    Greetings all.
    Woke early (ish) sipping my tea with the idea of going to the pharmacy, whilst it would be quiet, and then it was 2 hours later. I had nodded off, sitting up in bed. I ā€œmust have needed itā€ as my Mum used to say.Ā 

    Have a good day all - going to be lovely weather.Ā 
    My garden and I live in South Wales.Ā

    20 tons potted on 2 more to do, then the courgettes and squashes ... where am I going to put them all ...?Ā

    @Busy-Lizzie Bonjour!!  Thank you for your welcome.  I started a few weeks ago with a problem with my mangetout peas which we are now chomping before they get to the table!!  Everyone seems friendly as gardeners are naturally!!  I am not very good at problems or identification but I love the contact and reading other peoples' posts.  Hot and sunny down here - wind has dropped but the shutters are down and a siesta is on the cards now.  Bonne journée! 
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Good couple of hours digging done before the heat beat me. Ā Sitting with a peach and strawberry smoothie now šŸ¹

    I wouldn’t be surprised if you slept for a week @AuntyRach 😓😓😓. You must have a lot of catching up to do 😷
