Monring all/afties Pat. Love the 'dog'. I've lost count of the times I think I've seen something interesting, and it turns out to be a rock or a random bit of stuff That's painfully cute @chicky. I love watching them disappear inside flowers. He must have been a bit tired @Yviestevie - the lousy consequences of this dire problem we've had. I really hope you can get something or someone to help. Is is worth trying another one further afield? Overnight rain had done by the time I got up, and the leaden clouds have disappeared now, and we look as if we're having a reasonable day here. I've optimistically put a washing on... Walk done, showered, fed, daughter delivered to work and been to the GC first thing to get compost, so that's me sorted till I need to collect her.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@Fairygirl one of the opticians I called earlier has called me back and has kindly been ringing around the opticians who are part of the scheme in a much wider area and cannot find any that can give me an appointment. She has said that one of the opticians at her practice will see me on Saturday afternoon. If it gets any worse I'll just have to go to A&E.
Well the Rain you sent finally arrived @Fairygirl though I think it must have done some sightseeing on the way. Yesterday dawned damp & drizzly but it dried up. Our trip to Wisley went perfectly, M25 bearable for a change, busy but no hold ups. Rain stayed away until just after we got home. They have done a lot of re-development recently the old entrance and sales area has gone & it's all shiny & new now. We got to parts of the grounds we have not been to in quite a while as the last few times we have been it's been for the shows & craft fairs so we have not had enough time to see much else. Hope everyone is ok.
Glad glad you enjoyed Wisley @Allotment Boy - they are really transforming the place, aren’t they. Lots of new garden developments too - love how the exotic garden is coming along, and their new science centre looks like it’s going to be fab. Did you find their allotments in the middle of the orchard?
What’s happened 🤯 we have a new look ... Bolder headings ... but the icons for the smilies, posting pics, bold and italic text etc has disappeared... on my iphone it has anyway ... what about the rest of you?

Greetings all. 30C at 9am this morning so we're having an indoors sort of day. OH has been ironing whilst watching golf and I've been to do the weekly raid. Must do some h*work this afternoon as it's been woefully neglected.
@D0rdogne_Damsel Ile de Ré is very flat, very expensive so OK for a day trip from here (50 mins) on a sunny day. The Vendée has other attractions, is cheaper than Charente Maritime and has good road and rail links and is just as sunny.
Love your bee @chicky - we only ever seem to see busy bees here.
@Yviestevie - I suggest a trip to A&E rather than wait.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I would too @Yviestevie, I got told off in the eye dept at our A&E last year for waiting overnight before going in - got a right telling off! That bee was lovely @chicky. We're very pleased, just been able to book lunch for Sat in a very nice pub run by a French family in the Oxfordshire village where my mum and grandparents are buried. It's about 2 hours from here so will make a nice day out along the old A4 and over the Wiltshire Downs.

@Yviestevie, do you have a hospital with an eye casualty department nearby? If so might be worth going there. Can't be too careful with eyes.
