    Hi all

    Not raining.....yet.
    Today stuff is starting to come out of the g/h, ready or not.

    Mum's funeral is on the 8th. of June and then that weekend we are going to the wedding of one of our nephews. That will be my busiest week for about 2 years.

    Morning everyone,  @Biglad, I have seen a few things lately where they are saying that vigorous exercise soon after the jab is Not  a good idea.  So take it a bit easier  for a couple of days after you have had it.

    IMHO Vigorous exercise is never a good idea once one gets to 27

    Vigorous exercise?  Before lockdown I could manage about 5 mins of jive then a breather and then 5 more.   Classes start again on the 9th but OH and I can't go till I have the next lot of knee infiltrations in July so that'll be September for us.  Time to get fit again then.  Maybe.

    Cool and grey here.  Supposed to be dry but looks like it could get damp.  Today is the last of the Ice Saints and if it does rain today he has a St Swithin's kick for rain over the next 40 days.  I don't mind that as long as it warms up.   16C high expected today but 23C on Friday.  That's better.

    Courage @D0rdogne_Damsel.  Looks like opening already has won you new customers and the sun should bring out some more at the weekend.

    Hope the tile laying goes smoothly @Busy-Lizzie.  

    I have baby PSB to prick out and pot on today and more rust to paint.

    Stay warm everyone.  Hope OH continues to improve @Yviestevie

    Your tiles sound lovely @Busy-Lizzie.  We had our bathroom done last year and chose old faded, worn type tiles for the walls.  I love them!

    Off to meet a friend for coffee and distribute some leaflets this morning.  I'm in the local In Bloom group, although we don't enter the competition anymore.  We just plant up the planters around town (all set to do that on Sunday) and hang the hanging baskets (the Sunday after). But we are running a garden competition this year along with the local historical society and the town council and I need to get the entry forms distributed.

    When I return, the man fitting the new rainwater downpipe and repointing where the mortar has worn away will be here.  He will.  Fourth time lucky.

    Don't worry @Allotment Boy @Hostafan1. My plodding could never be described as vigorous and I've deliberately run this morning so that I can have a couple of non-running days following the jab ;)

    @chicky Lurgashall is the English equivalent of a Scottish shortbread tin scene :D Ancient pub, church and lovely houses around a cricket pitch. The landlady also runs the Hollist pub in nearby Lodsworth if you need another option as NA gets very busy in the summer. 
    We decanted to another lovely pub, the Stag Inn in Balls Cross outside Petworth which is next to Ebernoe Common - one of the best bat habitats in the UK and an interesting place to walk run by Sussex Wildlife Trust.

    Morning folks, glad the tiles have finally arrived @Busy-Lizzie, they do sound rather attractive. 
    We started walking this morning in brilliant sunshine and it was actually warm enough to take my jacket off. Had to wear wellies as our lane still flooded. We've just got back and it's now clouded over and looks like rain. Got 5 mins to drink my coffee then I've got a back massage booked so will take the car.
    Had hoped to do some planting today, will have to wait and see.
    Catch up later.

    I’m trying to take photos of the eclipse, but my Camera isn’t good enough. 😡.  Had to laugh, Hubby set his better camera up on a tripod and when he went out to check on progress, the battery was flat. 😂😂😂. Oh well. At least the moon isn’t  covered by cloud which is usually the problems here on special photographic occasions.

    So far the run hurt more than the vaccination :o
