I had a walk down the lane earlier this morning as I had to post some raffle tickets off to Macmillan Cancer. It was beautiful outside but if that was the temperature at 06:30, then Heaven help us at midday! I hope that you all have a lovely Saturday.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Good morning . Ante ,plant catalogues . I am waiting for one of mine ,got two already. I love browsing through all the plants on offer .LB ,lovely pic. I hope that the weather cools for you .TBird so pleased that you got your tooth sorted .Time for breakfast .
Good morning all. Had a lie in as not sleeping too well at the moment. Mostly the heat but these are worrying times and those 2am thoughts have been keeping me awake. Miss fiancé too, he is loving the new job and mostly I am fine keeping busy but I miss his comforting presence when I wake in the night after one of my strange dreams.
Looks like a nice morning so I need to tackle the garden, does anyone else look and think everything is looking overgrown and tatty this time of year, my gorgeous poppies are a mass of stalks and the nasturtiums are looking manky. I was going to leave stuff to set seed but I may just pull them up and buy fresh seed in the spring. Also the bindweed is overtaking certain areas again. I don’t love this time of year in the garden if I am honest. Time to fill up that green bin!
Morning Ruby and Debs. My garden is looking decidedly overgrown and tatty Debs. Never fear, you are not on your own. There are times when I just want to rip everything out and start again. My big green bin is stuffed so I may have to get out my secondary smaller green bin today. I've been watching the preparations for celebration of VJ Day from the National Memorial Arboretum and it reminds me of my trip there with my friend from Crewe two years ago. A beautiful place.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Good Morning Ante, LB, Rubee & Debs and all to follow, a damp misty start here today, Ante glad you had a productive day at the cottage yesterday, love to see your pictures the flowers and veg always look so good. Hope the cooking goes well today, LB A nice time to go out first thing, but it does sound like you are in for a warm one today. Thank you for the quiz results, I was so surprised that was an Olive it completely fooled me, Rubee Plant, seed & bulb catalogues are a pleasure to look through they all look so tempting, Debs sorry you’re not sleeping very well it can’t be easy for you while your fiancé is away, that’s it you can take your frustrations out on the garden 🙂 Hazel I’m pleased you are feeling on the mend, but poor 23 has it now hope he gets better soon bless him, Yvie I wish your daughter all the best, that was a difficult decision for her to make. Hope that the move into a new home for herself and the boys will be the start of a happier life for them all.
Morning everyone, Very dark.....we have lights on..... and drizzly rain here this morning. But still very warm...but bareable. Forecast for the week is much the same and for next weekend Autumnal weather and gales. Really hope summer isn't over. Yvie, hope your daughter and grandchildren settle into their new home. Must have been a very hard discision to make, very brave. Ante glad you had a better nights sleep. I love seeing all your photos too. Debs, is your fiance coming home soon, hopefully you have a restful day and maybe catch up on lost sleep. Take it easy. LB. You sound like you have our heatwave from last week. Must have been relaxing going for your early stroll. Chive, hope you had a lovely time with your mum. Rubee, pour me out a cuppa and I'll join you. Need another one already😉 Hazel, hope 23 is feeling much better thus morning. Best wishes to those in the quiet corner, hope we see you back on here soon. Take care everyone, Happy Saturday, where do these days go. Another week has flown by.
Morning Lily & Hazel, we have proper rain! 🥳 Lily What a difference to last week, hope it’s not the end of summer but nice to lower the temperatures for a while, I did have a nice day with mum yesterday thank you, Hazel hope you enjoy some pottering around time today, it is lovely to see the garden looking healthy and green again, Enjoy your day everyone.
Morning all. Very hot and oppressive out here. The air is thick and the insects are biting. They say thunder later and it will be a blessing. All quiet as always thankfully. My garden has come through the August fade and is picking up with a second wave of flowers. Some eg nasturtiums seeded themselves from the early blooms and the marigolds are smaller flowers but grand to see. The gladioli are in bud nicely .The border at the back is especially fair.
Yvie wishing your daughter and grandchildren that they will be settled in their new home. LB it’s good you enjoyed your walk. Chive I’m glad you had a good day with mum. Debs hoping you catch up with sleep soon and that fiancé will soon be home. Hazel it’s good to enjoy a cooler temperature, phew.

Think I will sit out for a few minutes and watch the weather creaming in across the mountains and ocean. It is all so open here that that is visible.
