    Actually, @Pat E   I will be very very careful and will be wearing leather gloves as my OH is doing the hammering - I'm just the "mate" and will be holding the iron stake in place!!

    I made it rain 🤣.  Have Pilates in the park this morning and friends in the garden this afternoon ☔️☔️☔️.  Who needs a rain dance when I can oblige with a couple of carefully made outdoor plans 🙄

    I suggested to Bro that he should have a bbq ... it's well known among his friends that his bbqs guarantee prolonged heavy rain  ;)

    I’m happy for you and Moria, Punkdoc. You’ll feel much more relaxed for her now. 👏👏

    Good @punkdoc.  Now you can, I hope, relax a bit knowing she's well cared for.

    Sunny here and the weekend's rain has now been postponed to next Thursday.   I've put the sprinkler on the grass seed again.

    Phone worries for me amount to forgetting to charge it before I go to do my weekly shop.   I only use it now to send texts to fellow patch ladies to ask them to read their emails or to phone home when I'm leaving the SM and ask for the gates to be opened.  I believe manuals have gone online now, a bit like the Oxford dictionary, cos they're so long.

    OH is having fun drilling holes in wooden posts at 30cms intervals.  The drill bit is not long enough to go thru so I may have to look for a longer one tomorrow.  Not convinced he's worked out that the fatter bits are also longer and he's chosen one just big enough to poke the wires thru...........

    Rust treating cast iron chairs for me today and then spray painting another day.   Lovely.

    Glad the visit went well @punkdoc ((hugs))  now treat yourself gently ... love to you and Moira.  

    OH has gone to work, I've done lots of watering, (particularly of the amelanchier and the bay, pear and fig trees), some hsewk and a bit of noodling on here ... now for a coffee then I'll peel potatoes for a sort of hash with leftover bacon joint and sauerkraut for supper.  My second jab is scheduled for 6.30 so I don't know if we'll eat before then or afterwards; it depends on what time OH gets home from work and whether he feels like eating immediately.

    Morning all.

    I'm glad it was a good visit, @punkdoc, must have put your mind at rest and you can relax knowing that she is in a good place.

    It rained in the night, drizzling now but forecast says sunny periods.

    I have several things to do but haven't decided which. I read in bed this morning for longer than usual.
