Day started off with rather heavy rain and stopped about 11.30 but it still have that very damp feeling in the air. We were supposed to have a drive through to Middlesbrough to have a look around the shops but decided against it as didn't want to be wandering around all damp. We will go another day when we are off together.
I am currently sat in my conservatory with thr radio on and my book but have a pause to see what the birds are upto. Just heard a load of squeaking but cannot figure out where its coming from 😂😂
Got a garden day planned for tomorrow. If the forecast is correct it is going to be very hot and sunny 😎
@Obelixx it is good getting GC bargain. I always head for the nearly dead shelf to see what I can rescue.
Everything seemed nearly dead or worse @PurpleRose which I don't like to see in a DIY or SM where they are just another product but is disgraceful in a GC which is supposed to be about plants and gardening.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I agree @Obelixx it takes nothing for any seller to give the plants a good water and I feel it is worse in a gc or nursery as it is what they specialise in. It's like shop selling frozen stuff and not keeping them in a freezer.
Hi everyone. I haven’t been on today - lots of tidying and sorting in the garden while the weather is fine again. Not happy though. Hubby just read on a local site that there’s Covid in Perisher - that probably means that they’ll come back through Cooma and visit our shops and cafes. 😡. I’ll need to be extra careful. Which reminds me - I went food shopping in Woolworths yesterday and I was the only one wearing a mask, I got some funny looks from the brave ones.
LOvely view @chicky. I bet that got all the local dogs barking @steephill! Ours used to go spare when we had balloons approaching our last house. Don't get them here.

We've just started to get balloons over here too. Not sure if they are just practising or have paying customers again. Been very hot today (although not as hot where Obelixx or DD are, thank goodness). Retreated for a snooze on the north side of the house. We had cakes delivered by SM (as well as a dozen wines!) they were on special offer so felt we just had to indulge. I have been good though, because I ate a cake at lunchtime, I told myself I couldn't have some wine as well tonight I've just been out watering the roses in pots and other potted plants as it's forecast to be hot again tomorrow.

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