Powdery mildew has ripped through the garden here and I've had to cut loads of stuff down to stop it spreading. The potatoes started getting blight so I cut all the foliage off those too. A few things are looking still good or at least promising though.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
When we moved into our house there were pencil lines on the kitchen wall measuring the heights of the two children. Against one marking was appended the note “She’s shrunk.”
Apart from the pots on the patio, Ive got a load of pretty much gone over stuff, but the bees are still working the remaining blooms and I really havent got much for them in the pipeline . August flowering plants, not particularly subtle, not pink and drought resistant - that's what I need. Dusty, variegated evergreens and black spotted roses have limited appeal at the moment. A good dose of rain would cheer me and my garden up a treat.
Why can’t people say st any more? So often I hear them on TV saying shtupid, shtruggled etc.
And even BBC news broadcasters who you would really think should know how to pronounce consonant-l say things like assemberly, bubberly, wobberly, Wemberley.
And while I am having a moan, why do weather forecasters say bereezy, and why do interviewers insist on inserting ‘exactly’ into their questions? Can you tell me exactly why they do this?
