    Morning everyone,  it was 24C in the greenhouse at 8 am, even though the vents were left open all night.  Yesterday I took the doors off the Lemon house,  nearly summer 😀

    It's a very peaceful morning here as the school is on holiday so no parents and children chattering as they walk up the rise ... lots of scolding blackbirds tho' ... and the road sweeper has done it's 'post salting and gritting' clean up of the bus route along the bottom ... OH is at home today and we've nothing special planned ... just a quiet mooching sort of day, a bit of light weeding maybe, and watering of the toms and squashes we planted out the other day ... some potting on perhaps ...

    Morning all. Strange how marriages turn out isn’t it, life’s never how you plan it especially if you didn’t do much planning in the first place. It’s good if you can still be friends though whether still married or not. 

    🐓 look very happy there. I’m sure their eggs are tasty too.

    Good morning.  Bit of a shock today as it's 10C cooler than yesterday and grey.  Not expecting any rain today tho there may be some stormy bits tomorrow. 

    Rasta is due to be shorn this pm and I've got a rdv for Possum to have her fist jab this pm.   She's not yet registered as resident in France but we do have a letter addressed to her here form the French tax so hope that will count.   In theory, they're not bothered about such things but we may get a job'sworth.

    Worth trying.

    Other than that, more planting and sowing including some amsonia as I've been prodded by their appearance on another thread.

    Have a good day whatever you're doing Forkers.  Have to make the most of every day.

    Well, if making the most of the day includes cleaning the bathroom and bedroom then I've done it 😇
    Now for another coffee before heading outside ...

    Morning all! @Obelixx - your chooks are adorable!
    I was married twice before I met my 'keeper'.  We have been married for 28 years, living together for 7 before that. He was a musician (quite well known in prog rock circles - he was the drummer with Camel) so we didn't marry until he wasn't touring quite so much.  Despite our glamorous beginnings we are now a boring old married couple and happy to be so.

    Much respect @didyw B)  There's quite a few musicians in your neck of the woods ...  ;)

    Well, at last my old car has fallen on her feet ... so to speak ... my son has heard from her new owners.  The pretty well-to-do businessman husband bought it for his wife as she wanted a convertible but he didn't trust her driving a sports car with the children in it, ............ so ....... Lola is having all her little supermarket carpark dings removed and a total respray, she's having her alloys and other bits and bobs refurbed and and will have a personalised number plate ...... we called her Lola because '... she was a showgirl ...' but it seems that she'll be a glamorous showgirl once again

    Morning all,

    Glorious again here :) Definitely breezy and not quite cloudless but it'll do :D

    Tennis and cricket on TV all day though. Decisions, decisions ;)

    I remember Camel from when I went through my short lived prog. rock phase. Think I probably still have a copy of Snow Goose somewhere.
