Thanks @chicky ... an abdominal CT scan a couple of days ago was encouraging ... more scans needed for the colon area and he's still waiting on the biopsy results for the tumour removed from his eye ... but he's encouraged that he can see shapes and colours using that eye, so hopefully it's not totally lost. As you say 🤞

Sorry to hear about your brother, Dove. Hope it settles soon for him.
Tui, thankfully, we are far enough from Victoria and not on a main road between Melbourne and Sydney, so we haven’t had any instances of the virus here yet. No one even wears a mask. With a bit of luck that situation might continue. We’ve got close friends down there and they’re fed up with the lockdowns. Not much you can do about it though.
we’re in for another freezing night by all accounts. Looks as though I’ll be inside knitting again tomorrow.
I've been out to buy today's newspapers for the baby when he's 18. DIL's idea and usually Son does it, but he can't leave Maternity. They've done that for the other 4 children, to see what happened on the day they were born.
The builders are finishing the grouting and doing the skirtings. I've been painting more bedroom wall.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thanks @Pat E ((hugs)) He's having a very tough time at the moment.
With lots of help from the Under Gardener we've got all the tomatoes planted, Marzona, Sungold and Red Alert this year. Also three Uchiki kuri squashes, three Baby Bear squashes and three Green Bush courgette plants. I explained to OH the concept of planting them in a 'saucer shaped hollow' in the soil, to aid watering ... I hadn't expected them to then be planted in the equivalent of Grand Canyon but I'm not going to complain ... they'll do just fine ... it's probably just that old thing about the male and female concept of size being somewhat different🤣

It is jolly hot out there now so I have cleared some babies out of the polytunnel to cool down a bit and set the seep hose on the new dahlia bed in readiness for planting and then I retreated to the shade and hacked a lot of branches off the bigger wisteria. I'm trying to train it along the wall rather than out and away from the wall so I don't get mugged so often.
