Debs, I have several epimediums in my garden as I like them a lot and they can cope with shade. Hazel, you could be right - time will tell. It will have been a bird present if that is what it is as the container was hung on the vent pipe at the side of my house. Its a container specially designed to fit around the vent pipe. You are having a busy and expensive week this week Hazel but I'm glad you are getting your teeth sorted.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
@star gaze lily - not sleeping is the worst! I had a night of it the other night - got up to make myself a cup of chamomile, didn't dare look at the clock. Read some more... it was light before I fell asleep. Hubby oblivious. Fresh air and exercise was the answer I felt so yesterday finally sorted out the weeds from beneath my dwarf apple tree, cut back the grass so its now in a nice circle, fed and watered it and top dressed it with compost and bark chippings. Slept like a top last night and didn't wake up until 9.30! @debs64 - that 2 month old looks like an absolute cherub! And I envy you your massage. My daughter, when she was living with us, used to have magic fingers but I could never get her to massage my shoulders for long enough. Â
Debs, how about a nice lavender or a santolina? I've sawn off a large branch from my acer chopped it up and got it in the bin for tomorrow along with lots of weeds I've pulled up. That blinking Herb Robert gets everywhere. Its a good job its easy to pull out.
I've sowed some bee friendly wild flower balls that my Bestie got me for Christmas into my wall planters. Each little clay ball contains many seeds so I'll be interested to see what pops up. Interestingly they have chilli powder added to the clay to keep pests away. I've emptied some plant pots where the occupants have expired and have washed a pile of those pots ready for the next annuals. I am finished for today but have enjoyed the fresh air. Hope T'Bird and her OH have had an enjoyable drive to Somerset.

Debs. It is so lovely having a massage. I think if I won the lottery, I would have a massage every day too.
It is funs sometimes with the guess the plants which appear in the garden. A coup,e of years ago, a tulip appeared in a very random place. I think it had been dug up and stashed somewhere by a garden visitor, maybe saying it for later but turning out to be a flower.
I have been in Debenhams today. I have been looking for a dress for a wedding that I am going to in June. As usual, Debs hasn't failed me. I have got the most beautiful pale pink dress which fits perfect. I also got two pairs of shoes for work which were in the closing down sale. I got really sad when I was in there. I have had some lovely clothes from there over the years. It was always a shop where I always found something suitable for whatever reason I was buying for. I think it will leave a big gap on the high street.
@didyw I'm having a weird sleep pattern at the moment, a few good night's sleep, followed by some not so good night's. It doesn't matter if I've been busy in the garden or had a long walk unfortunately. Think it's to do with this past crazy year. @debs64 the best massage I've ever had was a hot stones massage on holiday abroad. Bliss. @PurpleRose I shall miss Debenhams too, as you say it was great for special occasions as well as casual clothes. Liked their homeware too. Such a shame. There will be hardly anywhere to go now. @Songbird-1 I had no idea who that young man was 😔
Goodnight everyone, sleep well. I'm hoping for a better nights sleep tonight 🤞🤞
