I've been gardening all morning spliting and replanting carex, clearing some more overgrown plants from the pond, chelsea chopping and deadheading.
It's too hot now so I've retreated inside to cool down.
Hairdressing scissors came today and the clippers arrived last week so now I'm going to cut Hubby's hair later today. Used to clip the Westies so it can't be all that different, can it?
Another pale blue (part) Scot here, too hot for me as well in fact @Fairygirl could you send some of your rain here (pretty please ) Spent 1/2 yesterday morning watering allotment then all eve watering garden & it's not that big. The madness with the weather continues I have loganberry & blackberry in full flower on the Allotment.
Sorry to hear your news @punkdoc fingers crossed for you all.
@Fairygirl - must have missed it.. It wasn't about my toms, they're going great guns. It was a query about someone's post. But anyway, I did do it properly i.e. the sending of the message. That was my question if you'd got it or not. No worries, bro' !!
Toms, squashes and courgettes all potted on, and Ive supervised some succulent division and repotting, as well as the breaking up and repotting of a huge aloe vera which OH has at last agreed wasnât happy in the sunny spot in the studio. Itâs now in two pots ... to indicate how big the plant was, half of it is now in a pot that once held a 3â Christmas tree!
Afternoon all. Hosta Hugs to you @punkdoc. I've been soaking up the sun all day long . I finished my watering chores before 9am. Too chilly to eat out in the evenings, brrrrr.
I'm in need of a very large glass of something! I started the job this afternoon of putting new silicone on the gap between the bath and the tiles, horrible job and the silicone remover gel I bought doesn't seem to be working - what a surprise! Put a second lot on now and just waiting to see if that works. The joys of DIY. OH has funnily enough disappeared.
Evening all - grumpy delivery driver won - no way he would go around the back and drop the wood over the back fence into the garden. Admittedly it was always going to be tricky, but he was convinced his truck would get stuck in the grass. So, 66 square metres of wood was dropped on the pavement outside the Tearoom. Luckily I found 3 friends to help carry it down - took a good two hours, so a bit of sparkly to celebrate was imbibed. No problem with social distancing, 32 of the beams were 6 metres long, the rest 3.9. Getting around corners was interesting. đ The work starts Monday. Had to take delivery today, it's a BH here tomorrow and the wood mill is taking Friday off too, it's usual practice if the BH falls on a Thursday. They don't deliver on Saturday or Sunday and my builders arrive Monday. I didn't want them sitting around all day waiting for the delivery. Anyway, it's all at the bottom of the garden ready and waiting.Â
I even managed to get a trip to the tip in - we're only allowed in on the odd/even number that tallies with the car registration and just one a week. They too shut for the BH, the 'pont' that follows and the weekend. đ± So I was relieved to get one trip in anyway. @punkdoc sorry to hear your news, perhaps it'll be a mild case and all will be well. Fingers crossed.Â
Must get back to inputting data into this new menu system - terribly tedious.....might just have a quick walk around the veggie patch.Â
Btw, Charlie has a summer job gardening for a friend. 10⏠a day, absolutely loving it. Cut grass, hedges and strimmed today and stacked logs in the garage. Next week he's making a wildlife pond, they're waiting for the liner to arrive. He been researching how to maintain a good lawn. đ Fabulous opportunity and he's alone in the garden, goes on his bike, couldn't be better.Â

I hope you enjoy the company of your bottle, @Dovefromabove, we are having meatballs so we'll be having red.
