    Hi all

    Feeling fairly rough after the jab, but a small price to pay.

    Don't forget to vote.

    Hi everyone,  glad some of you are getting good rain,  I wish we were,  we have been getting little showers,  but the wind dries it up within minutes.

    Morning all.
    Raining here.

    My garage conversion is on hold at the moment because of transport delays for the floor tiles from Portugal. Some of the furniture is in the open barn, future car port. I'm really wanting to get it back indoors, lots of rain forecast for next week.

    Last night I moved some stuff in the open barn to keep in from rain drift. I was going to move a cardboard box that has tools such as paint scrapers and wallpaper brushes in it when I noticed bits of grass and moss sticking out of a hole in the side. I opened the box and there was a robin sitting on a scruffy nest!

    I'm going to a DIY place this morning for a wall light for the utility room, some paint and a mirror.

    Morning all,

    I guess the paint scrapers and wallpaper brushes are staying put for a while @Busy-Lizzie :D 

    I've just put together the BBQ that I picked up yesterday. Got it from Argos with Nectar points so it feels 'free' ;) I have to say that it came with the best instructions I've ever come across. No parts missing and everything fitted well. Let's see how well it functions when man make fire! ;)

    @Busy-Lizzie, how lovely  I'm not jealous at all, well maybe just a bit 😄We have just come back from voting,  very quiet, but got wet walking back.  I know it's my own fault for going on about rain, but there wasn't any in the forecast for us today.  I want to put the roof net on the brassica cage and get plants in.

    No rain forecast here this morning @Allotment Boy. However, the instant I carried the completed BBQ outside, dark cloud and hailstones appeared :o

    Morning all, mostly dry and sunshine here and thankfully the wind has eased a lot. Did our usual walk and voted on the way back, unfortunately there was more of a queue then and they were only letting one person in at a time. Pretty stupid really considering the shops are in full flow and it was a biggish hall with plenty of space to socially distance inside.

    Your robin's nest sounds delightful @Busy-Lizzie and your river looks so nice full of rain @Pat E.

    I must get going and pot on some plug plants, after rearranging space in the greenhouse.
