    Good Morning and G’day.
    We had a very heavy rain storm about 8pm lat night - no thunder though. It’s given everything a good watering. 

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Morning all. 
    I'm hoping our dentist opens today. 
    The damaged root from the extracted tooth is working its way out but is now pushing on the tooth next to it and causes MUCH pain.  :/

    Morning all/afties Pat.
    Lovely pic @chicky - I'm usually thinking about going to be by the time the sun sets, so I miss the nice night skies we've had recently  ;)
    I'm so sorry @yvonneth83. It's bad enough, but the situation re funerals etc has made it worse. Just getting out for a while and distracting yourself can help enormously. 
    Hope @punkdoc is a bit more chipper today.
    Up and out before six this morning as I had fairylet to deliver to work. She got sent home yesterday with a migraine. I hope this isn't yet another thing to add to her problems.  :/
    Got quite a lot done yesterday. Toms in the greenhouse. They look ok this morning so they'll just have to get on with it if it's a bit chilly. I might dig down and create a bed for them for next year. Another project..
    Spent a while tying in clematis, deadheading, and listening to the bees everywhere. A pair of sparrow found something very tasty in the pyracantha - lots of little 'bits' in their beaks.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    Morning all. @Pat E love the pic, we have a black lab and have had a golden too; very true! Well for the first time in a while I had an awful night's sleep but hey ho, up I get ready to face another day. Dreaded food shop needs doing today but I am thankful we can get a delivery now rather than having to click & collect. @Fairygirl and @Dovefromabove thank you both. Hope you get sorted soon @Hostafan1, nothing worse than tooth problems  :|

    Hi all

    Welcome from hell, I really don't know how anyone sleeps in these places.
    Today we have a cunning plan [ approved by the authorities, sort of ]
    I have a wheel chair rigged up with all my pumps and drips and am going to disappear off the ward for a while and Moira is going to drive up and meet me, socially distanced of course.
    This will probably sound very melodramatic to most of you, but there is this horrible, nagging fear, that it might be our last meeting.
    If all goes well, surgery on Wednesday.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Unpleasant @Hostafan1. They were talking about the re opening of dental practices earlier on the radio news. Some of it is just going to be impossible for them  :/
    @yvonneth83 -I'm fortunate that my girls work for some of the supermarkets, so I can get them to do the shopping. I hate it at the best of times so it suits me! 
    I had to laugh when I was out this morning - the fox has clearly cottoned on to the timing of the Co-op deliveries. It was mooching around in the car park today, along with a cub. :D

    Hugs from me too @punkdoc, fingers crossed the surgery will go well and your fear is unfounded. Must be very scary.

    Morning all.
    OH wants to go to B&Q to get a paving stone and some pipe. There is a water butt by the car port but it isn’t attached to the gutter and it needs a slab to sit on. I hope there won't be a long queue.

    Think I'll put a wash on. It looks grey outside but no rain forecast. I usually dry the washing in the GC's bedroom when it rains but I'm in the middle of painting it.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
