We've been looking just after sunset @Hostafan1 so around 11pm here and certainly before midnight.
Just about to do Rasta's dressing then head off to France rurale to stock up on compost again. Used my last yesterday sowing some clematis seeds and now I need loads more to sow purple and white flowering perennials for that new bed. Somehow I don't have seeds for yellow flowers...... I did sow some nasturtiums way back in spring. Supposed to be cream with purple splodges but they've turned out yellow and red.
I don't fancy your beef @D0rdogne_Damsel but I'd forgotten about Pécharmant which we enjoyed when down that way on hols. 29 years ago is my excuse and not a wine stocked by our favourite Belgian SM. Will have a look here on Thursday when I go.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Just been for a little stroll up on the moor, and was surprised to see that a lot of the heather was starting to colour. This is at least 6 weeks earlier than usual, no idea why.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Morning all. Cloudy in north Dordogne, hope it will be cooler. Wish it would rain here for the garden but not for daughter and family who have gone exploring a bit further south for the day.
Going to dentist son this afternoon to have crown fitted.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hope this visit to the dentist is less painful than the last, @Busy-Lizzie... and thank you, we are indeed enjoying this house - the "snagging" is almost finished, with just a couple of jobs remaining. The external insulation gives us a more or less constant temperature indoors, which is lovely, and the garden is keeping me very busy. But today it's raining, so I'll be joining hubby and doing some more decorating. He's finished painting the woodwork in the longest part of the hall (the hall has a right angled bend in it, meaning it's easy to divide the work in two so he doesn't get too depressed by it), and now it's on to the ceiling and walls.
That sounds like real progress, @punkdoc, getting out for a stroll.
Wow, @D0rdogne_Damsel - that's brilliant! You're obviously going from strength to strength. Congratulations!
Ireland has just produced its "green list" of countries it considers low risk for Covid-19, whose citizens don't have to quarantine for 14 days when they visit here. Needless to say it doesn't include UK... so it's going to be a while yet before we can meet our new grandson. However, our Irish granddaughters and their mum & dad are planning to come and camp in our garden in a few weeks.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I asked him " Not talking as your employer, or me , as a customer, if it was your fridge , would you have it fixed of replace it?" " I'd fix it". " Great, that's what I wanted to hear. See you next week "
I was out looking for the comet too last night from about 11:30 to midnight. Hopefully you can make out the Plough (Big Dipper) above and to the left of the comet which should give you an idea of where to look. It is fairly faint with the naked eye so you need to allow your eyes to adapt to the darkness which can take up to half an hour. Even at midnight you still get glow from the setting sun.
I guess, given the last few nights, that I'll still be awake so I'll try again tonight. Thanks Steephill. I'd seen online that it was near the plough, which I saw clearly, but I'll try harder tonight.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
