    Good morning everyone.
    @D0rdogne_Damsel What a fabulous deck!  It looks great I hope everything works well for you this summer.  

    Have a great day everyone.

    Fingers crossed DD for your opening. The deck looks very nice.
    im feeling quite cheerie. I managed to prune back a lot of Thyme plants which have been trying to take over the edge of the clothes line area. I also did some more tidying in my greenhouse.

    Morning all/afties Pat. Glad you've had a productive day.
    Lovely pix - and a nice day at the seaside for some of you.
    Deck looks great @D0rdogne_Damsel ...oh...she's already gone.... ;)
    Fingers crossed for everything to go well, and I'm sure it will - whether you get your tables or have to borrow. May your cupcakes be devoured by the thousand x 
    Out earlier, back, showered, fairylet delivered to work, and now contemplating what I can do. Fortunately it's quite hazy and cloudy here, so I might be able to function outside for a little while. I don't know how you lot can stand that heat. 
    Managed an 18 on the 2nd round @Dovefromabove, when I caught up. Poor first one though. Must try harder. I'll have to reinforce the explanation to my sister of why she shouldn't phone me when Ken is on.  :D
    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.

    Your deck looks great @D0rdogne_Damsel, didn't say anything last night as your post hadn't turned up between my two posts. Good luck tomorrow.

    Thanks for explaining @chicky I thought it must be something like that. So hard for so many because of Covid 19.

    It was so kind of my friends, I told one of that that there is a second viewing of my house tomorrow. Fingers crossed but I expect the usual will happen, the wife won't like it when she sees the drive and how buried in the forest it is.

    Lovely and warm, another day of idleness awaits.
    Love the decking @dordogne_damsel.

    Enjoy @punkdoc ... it's not often we get the opportunity to enjoy totally guilt-free idleness 🦥

    Just come in from a watering spree, to get my precious babies through the day.  Think thats about all I will manage on the gardening front today 😎.  Will spend the rest of it enjoying the sun - all change tomorrow ⛈⛈⛈⚡️

    Hot and sunny again.  Rasta is not having her op today.  The "blonde" at the vet wrote us in for yesterday and gave us an appointment card for today so we're trying again tomorrow.   I'm off to do the SM raid in a minny.

    OH is playing golf so factor 50 on all the expose bits and factor 30 under his shirt.  I'm creamed up too but mostly staying out of the sun till about 6pm as it's very strong today.   

    Love the new decking @D0rdogne_Damsel and hope it all goes well for the re-opening.  Enjoy the scenery @punkdoc.  You can always dream about new projects and plants......
    Glad you had a good day out @chicky and hope you can have some fun outside before it gets too warm.  I don't think you'd cope here much past March.

    Looks like we're all in for some wet and stormy bits over the weekend so stay safe everyone and their plants.

    Hurray! They look perfect @D0rdogne_Damsel.

    Sheets are on the line, pots are watered (not many, mostly herbs in the shade like mint and parsley), roses to dead head, car to wash. It's going to be a hot day.
