I've been out on the terrace potting on four dozen coleus seedlings ....but its too hot out there and I've had to cover the coldframe with sheeting to protect the newly potted plants from the heat until the sun moves over the ridge of the roof. I've come indoors to cool off ........

I'm having a quiet day after my busy week. May weed the raspberries. Some have flowers and the broad beans have tiny weeny pods. I wonder if I will get to eat any of it before I go to Norfolk. I told P to help himself.

Thanks NannyB. I’m just starting with the skin colouring, but it’s a lot of fun. There are a basic three, Caucasian, Asian and African shades, according to the instructions I’m following. It’s fun and very relaxing. Those two I put on earlier haven’t been refined yet, but I’m enjoying myself. small minds, eh!
We are watching Greg Wallace in a biscuit factory making digestive with chocolate on the bottom. It’s making us hungry. So much for trying not to eat sugar. I’ve just got a couple of chocolate coated biscuits our of the cupboard. Yum!
I like colouring is a very calming activity @Pat Eand a lot more precise than people think! It's a great effect of highlighting you have achieved 👍 Thank you for joining me for a coffee in the garden folks, nice to have the company, no one ever gets to see my garden.
Maybe you don't count @Dovefromabove, you're only Mum after all!
I've attached vinyl sheeting to part of shower door so that you can't see through it and I've cleaned the bedroom and sitting room, but they weren't dirty. I've been so busy recently that trying to have a quiet day is rather dull! I had a long chat with a friend on the phone too. Maybe I'll do a Jigsaw puzzle on that site.
