Good morning. Just popping in before I head off to do the weekly SM raid, bit earlier than usual as I have the dentist this pm for a lovely root canal. Not.
Saw on A4A that Monty is hanging over to Adam but when I googled it seems it's temporary while he finishes an audio book or some such. We'll have to wait and see.
Drizabone again here and no gatherings allowed still so can't organise a BBQ to bring on the rain. Might have to clean all the windows. That might work.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Another heavy frost here, a lot of plants have really suffered this year, I feel a few new planting opportunities will be presenting themselves. Moiras birthday and our wedding anniversary tomorrow, so we will be doing our usual early year trip to Chatsworth. Still feeling exhausted, makes me appreciate even more what my little Sis is going through.

Hello all, cold, damp and grey here, we have had quite a lot of rain, just need some warmth now. My polycarbonate GH has a bad leak in the roof on one side so have moving things around as some plants were standing in water. OH is trying to get a jab, but it is so chaotic down here it beggars belief. Best wishes to you and Moira @punkdoc for tomorrow, have a lovely day.
I've had to give myself a good talking to this morning as I'm feeling a bit down, I've had a potter around the garden too, which helps. I'm finding it difficult to get my head around re-opening, not helped that we haven't got a date, further information tomorrow evening apparently, feel a bit in limbo and a bit sad bout the fact that the garden will have to go on the back burner. Trying to see a way to make CdeG work without me getting completely absorbed in it, always the issue of staff, finding good ones, trusting them, affording them....so it goes on.
I know it will sort itself out when we get that point, but it doesn't help just now with the knot in my stomach, nervous sickly feeling and complete crisis of confidence in my abilty to do it all again. Not helped by a loss of motivation too, I have been so happy working in the garden, planning and thinking about it, now it seems a shame I'll have little time to spend in it. Hopefully, as part of the planning has been to make it easier to manage, it will all be O.K. I am having a gardener come weekly to weed and dead head. See it all sounds like I am getting my knickers in a twist over nothing when you put it into words.
I hope you enjoy your day tomorrow @punkdoc, despite the tiredness and upset you are enduring at the moment. Great you have something planned are are able to get out and do it with Moira.
Did anyone see the dog scam thing on the news this morning, it was so horrible, how can people be so cruel? Poor lady, I did feel terribly sorry for her. Then I saw the story about the child that 'starved' to death in hospital, the poor parents. Gosh, no wonder I am feeling fed up, I must stop watching the news!
Right, I must shake myself and get something done. I hope you are all ok and have a good day.

@D0rdogne_Damsel courage mon amie It'll be fine ... remember, you can eat an elephant, just tackle it one bite at a time. 😂
We hardly watch the tv news ... I find that the visuals are just too ... we listen to the R4 Today programme and radio news throughout the day. That's enough. It's all our parents and grandparents had during the war thank goodness ... sometimes being able to see stuff just shocks you into being unable to do anything. I find I'm better able to process information that I hear ... the visual stuff is too immediate and emotive.

I thought we'd had rain, everything was wet and I saw rain falling. I just went out to start digging the new rose bed. It's hard as a rock and dry as a bone. Gave up. I don't seem to have any energy or motivation to do anything at the moment, same yesterday. Maybe there is something in the air in Dordogne @D0rdogne_Damsel, maybe the Super Moon.

Monty is only handing over GW to Adam Frost on 7th May to read his audio book for 4 days. Then he'll be back.
It has rained, don't know how much, probably not enough.
