Great @Pat E ... I hope you’re as pleased with yours as I am with mine ... I only got it yesterday and it’s made a huge difference ... I think we’ll probably bring it into the sitting room sometimes so we can play chess sitting on the sofa ... at the moment we either sit up at the dining table or I have to lean forward to a coffee table which isn’t good for my neck.

I’m really looking forward to it Dove, since I also have trouble putting my music stand on a table and then needing to sit back a bit to allow freedom of movement for my Ukelele. I think this will do the trick. Very exciting. 😁
Just caught up again, not been on much lately, no special reason. It's far too hot for me outside at the moment, so catching up here. @Fairygirl I have noticed some lettuce seed does not seem to keep like it used to, little gem in particular, no idea why that should be.
OH has just cut my hair ... a couple of inches off all over and layered back and sides done with one of those comb/razor blade thingummies. That feels better ... and looks fine too.🧑🏻🦳

Afternoon all, Have been inside for much of today, it's too hot for me outside with no breeze. Checked the thermometer in the greenhouse and its 41.6 with the windows/doors open and shade netting. Nothing in there at the moment except a couple of tomato plants. All the babies are outside in the shade.
Received some foxglove plug plants today (couldn't get the seed for these particular varieties) they were in that horrible netting stuff so I removed it and there were lots of decent sized seedlings in each plug. I now have over 20 in pots, a real bargain. The foxglove seeds I sowed have germinated but not the wallflowers, can't remember if they took longer last year.
I've been amusing myself indoors for most of the day turning up school dresses for Mabel, a necessary but boring job. All finished now. Hopefully I can venture outside when it cools off a bit.
Those comb/razor things were horrible! My dad used them on us when we were kids to save the cost of the barbers. He graduated to manual clippers which wasn't much better as he was always catching hairs as he pulled the clippers away. We had to stand stock still like a Guardsman on parade for what felt like hours. I occasionally fainted just like one of those Guardsmen after standing to attention for too long. When I go for a haircut now and they ask how I would like it I am tempted to say I don't care as long as you are quick and don't hurt me.
I can't bring myself to venture into the hairdressers here although they have been open again for a while. I could do with a layer cut just to stop it falling over my face but the rest is all one length so I can just let it grow. OH couldn't get the drainage pipes he needed this morning so went off to the builders merchants to buy them with success. He wants to try and get them in situ before the storms that are forecast.
My OH has at last trained the Turkish barbers in the village to use a No.8 setting so they don't scalp him anymore. I can't quite see them in visors and masks on July 4th somehow.
It's now 32.1 deg and rising. Time to move from our south facing sitting rom and move to the much cooler north facing bedroom.

I tried to do a link to the Amazon page but it won’t do it without my name and address showing. Duh 🙄
it’s called ‘Spaceways Adjustable Table’.
