Oh no @Liriodendron 😱😱😱. I hate strong winds more than any other bad weather - so noisy and destructive. But,as you say, a planting opportunity.....maybe a Liriodendron 🤣🤣🤣
Our ten tonnes of stone arrived a day early ......lawn now looks like a quarry 🤪
Finally got to Dads late afternoon - he’s grand 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. And visited FiL too, with takeaway banana splits 😋
We are forecast strong winds tomorrow - but only 50mph, so hopefully not too bad. Want to get out there and pot up my final foxglove seedlings .....the first batch have assumed triffid proportions 🌱
Just been sitting outside stargazing, still very warm out there. Came indoors and sat down and something caught my eye, a mouse, it came in the open door. Tried to find it, where's NDN's cat when you need him. He spends a lot of time with us but wasn't around this evening.
Just had a nice chat with daughter. She told me she may have an opportunity to buy another car from somebody she knows, so my old Fiesta which I gave her several years ago may be destined for the big scrapheap in the sky. It is well over 20 years old with more than 150,000 miles on the clock but had just passed its MOT - again! I feel quite sad, spent many happy hours driving it all round the country and it was so reliable. I bet my new Fiesta won't last as long.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ A bright and breezy morning here in Norfolk 20C and rising. At the moment the wind is nothing more than a stiff breeze ... a lovely day for sailing and our neighbours are away this morning ... I guess they’ve headed coast wards to the harbour where they keep their boat.
For some reason I’ve got it in my head that today is Saturday 🤪 ... it isn’t 😆

Good morning all, afternoon Pat Blustery here but I love windy weather! And I've decided to do my ironing work this morning worth windows open so I don't turn into a melting mess. Gardening work can be done later as customers are away and have left me a list Lirio so sorry to hear about your tree! Not to mention all you're under planting but it is remarkable what plants can go through and survive! X
Thanks for the Flatters well wishes. The vet thinks he has made a good improvement on the renal function prescription diet and has put on a Good amount of weight in the time. He seems brighter too so we are continuing with him drinking spring water also in case the fluoride in tap water might bother him. Coffee number 2 needed here!
Morning all/afties @Pat E if you're there. I keep thinking it's a day further on than it is @Dovefromabove. Youngest is the same. It doesn't help that they both work at random times. I blame my age. She can't really, although she will be a year older on Sunday. Wet and windy here, and rough overnight again, but you have to get used to that in this part of the world I shall wait until it's slightly less 'damp' before getting a walk. Or put the waterproofs on. The three large buds on the wee waterlily have looked exactly the same for about three weeks. I think they're taunting me. Just when they decide to open, it'll probably turn really cold and they'll die
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@WonkyWomble ... maybe pop out there and pick yourself a vaseful of what will otherwise be torn to shreds. You’ll enjoy them (and it’ll save deadheading in a couple of days). It’s what I’m going to do.
Glad Flatters is improving. 👍 @Biglad the only drawback with having a younger partner is that he’ll not be retiring for quite a while ... and like @Fairygirl’s daughter he works random days ... I need to know the day of the week so I know when to plan lawnmowing and heavy tasks for him 😂

Yes! I’m in again! Don’t understand why I get logged out then can’t get in again. Clever Hubby had to sort it out. 🙄
My Banksia ericifolia ‘Giant Candles’ has been struggling for a while to get to full size for some time now. Since it’s a coastal Banksia, I’ll be surprised if it survives the weather what is predicted for tonight. Antartic Blizzard supposed to arrive. 😡😡

The day of the week stopped mattering to me months ago d-fab!
