Hello all, love your "theatre" @chicky. We have rain! not alot but every little helps! OH's birthday today, shame we can't meet up with families to celebrate, we just look forward to the day that we can all get together again. Have a good day all whatever you are up to.
I loved Dominic Grieves comment on R4, saying that Bojo is a moral vacuum, I think that goes for Cummings too. Love the Auriculas, I have some but they are on a metal stage, which sadly is rusty and tatty now.
Good day - went for a long walk along the sea front this morning, bought some fresh fish at the fish markets - but the sky has turned grey - still no rain forecast.
Today is ANZAC Day in Australia and NZ - Remembrance Day WW1. Lest we forget.
@chicky Love it - when's the next performance? Happy Birthday to your OH @floralies
@chicky Love the theatre and the auriculas. I suspect it's too hot and dry for one here but there is a big old shelf thingy in the ruin that I might just investigate once the swallows have flown. If it can be detached from the wall in one piece I can surely use it for something fun.
@tuikowhai34 I once attended an ANZAC memorial day at Ypres with both ambassadors, sundry embassy and service personnel, loads of Ozzies and Kiwis and an impressive turn out from the local military groups and bands. It all finished with a parade to the Menin Gate for wreath laying and the Last Post. Unbelievably moving.
Filthy now and terrace still not done but I had to resort to the Karcher after all and that's not allowed on Sunday pms so I've come in for a drink and then some window and inside shutter cleaning in the kitchen which faces said terrace.
Next time a student wants help with finding a useful product I'll be suggesting self-cleaning patio surfaces as well as bright, flashing, READ ME signs on the instructions for lawn 4 in 1..
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Love the auriculas ... I had some in a previous garden ... gorgeous. OH is thinking of a similar 'theatre' for his succulents ... I'll have to show him the pics ... he's on the look out for a discarded bookcase or similar on Freecycle.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Afternoon all. I can't believe how early you guys rise! And @Pat E - I didn't realise you were in Oz and wondered why you were going to bed so early! My bro is in Queensland. Sadly have never been able to visit him there but my sister has. I'm enjoying the Cummings vs Johnson spat. Sitting back and watching this sleazy govt. implode is great fun. But sadly the Brexit they all engineered is having such a devastating effect on people's lives (whether they misguidedly voted for it or not). As for Northern Ireland - I never could see how they could square that circle. Turns out, they can't. Wish we had some real grown ups in charge.

Just having a quiet hour under the parasol (legs sticking out and sun cream on them but think my feet have caught the sun already today).
