The promised rain didn't come, or if it did it was very little. It looks a bit grey out there, maybe, fingers crossed, later.
I love pizza @Dovefromabove, well home made anyway. I always think it a nice sociable meal too, Charlie helps make it and we choose our favourite toppings and then eat it from a board, sharing the little triangles, comparing the best bits. Saturday being my 'eat what I like day, I might just make it tonight.
Some more potting on today, and then I have space to sow some seeds, melon to do do and some salad leaves, and a few annual flowers, Zinnia and marigolds.
Other than that not much planned, the weather will be the deciding factor.

Had the tiniest sprinkle of rain (dust) during the night. Sky is grey and the temperature has risen, so hopefully a decent downpour is due and then everything will be flooded as the ground is so hard!!
I found a spot on the beach the other day where there is a lot of driftwood - some in small pieces which will be ideal as a "drainage" base for a large flower pot, so I'm off with dog and black polythene bag to collect. It should rain by then!
Hello everyone. My head is still a bit heavy Dove, but ok. 😃
I think we’ve seen enough memories of Prince Phillip to last us a while on BBC World. I expect it’ll take something dramatic to take it off the news. I do feel sorry for the Queen though , she’ll feel strange for a while no doubt.
Morning all, some rain overnight and fog this morning. The Hoopoe is giving his all round about, lovely to hear but I haven't seen a Swallow yet. One of Daughter's cats got hit by a car two days ago and has a fractured pelvis, he is at Fitzpatricks (he of the programme) waiting for an op. I don't know, if it's not one thing it's another!
Morning folks, I need your help with a moral,I think is maybe a suitable word, problem.The post was getting massive. I LL get to the point,You can ask for more details.friend,early 80s, March 2019, offered to get daily paper.Obvously, difficult at the moment, apart from yesterday (I took him for his second jab) hadn't seen him since November.last summer he gave me a tenner and £5 a couple of times.in the end last year,I said I would need the money, because my old man had to stop working and isn't retirement age,ok he says.i spend an average of £20 a month for him.Recently it was milk,sugar, marmalade then Dr caffeinated tea bags,we live in a village,the tea bags alone were nearly £3, the other requests were all separate days.I have Started leaving receipts,it isn't much in one go,but it mounts up, what would you do?
It rained in the night but the garden would like more.
@Nanny Beach, I think you will have to give him a bill with the receipts and not buy the next lot until he has paid for the previous lot. It's not fair to expect you in your situation to give him £20 a month. You will have to explain, after all he did agree to pay you back.

A glorious morning , no frost.
Sorry to hear about the cat @floralies ... I hate to see an animal in pain. Hope he can be helped quickly. 🤞
