Much cooler here now, so some gardening is on the menu for today. Need to pot on my 72 foxglove babies 👶🏼 🌸 (a lot germinated and I couldn’t bear to ditch them ☺️).
Morning all. I think you have nearly as many pots as me @chicky! But yours look tidier.
Thank God it's a bit cooler this morning. We slept under a sheet with the 3 windows open but I shut 2 of them in the early hours as there was a cool breeze.
OH is taking me out to lunch today for a late anniversary celebration. Anniversary was the 16th July, 9 years.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Impressive collection @chicky! I sorted mine out a couple of weeks ago and binned all the flaky ones so don't have as many anymore. Hoping to have some seedlings to pot on soon. Better go and check my trays.
Enjoy your lunch @Busy-Lizzie and happy anniversary. We've been brave and booked dinner out for ours later this month at a * restaurant in La Tranche that specialises in lobster. Felt we deserved a treat as we haven't been out since February.
Just a light cotton duvet cover for us too @Dovefromabove and windows open. Slept OK last night but not the night before.
It's cloudy and grey here and much cooler but bone dry and likely to stay that way. I need to prepare another big pot of red salad and do the next phase on some kimchi and then will go and do some quiet weeding.
Definitely no ice cream for breakfast here tho I do have recipes somewhere for avocado ice cream and tomato sorbet which might work for a light lunch......

Damn Squirrels. We have domes over all our bird feeders and that has always prevented the b#####s getting at the food. Not any more I have just been watching them sliding down the dome, and then whilst in mid air, grabbing onto the feeder. Have to admire the skill, but it is hilarious when they miss.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
August already eh. Morning all/afties Pat if you're around. How is your foot? Meant to ask you the other day. More pots than me too @chicky - mine are all stacked in the shed. I've no plants needing potted on so I could help you with yours, but it's a bit far.... Enjoy your lunch @Busy-Lizzie A little juvie woodpecker appeared in the garden this morning, so I may have to put a feeder outside the cages in case he comes back. They don't often come in - but we regularly hear them over in the NT garden. All the other small birds are eating me out of house and home. The squirrels aren't too bad here @punkdoc, and they can't get in my arrangements, despite having a good gnaw at the edges. Not as hot here, but I still have a window open in the bedroom. We had a BOGOF thunderstorm last night. Thought it had moved away and then it decided to turn round and come back. Smashing...not literally though.... I'd just got my grass cut when it started raining, and then the thunder was an hour later with a few hours of rain. That lovely vertical, hefty stuff that you get with thunder.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
