    My reason to be cheerful today is that I got the Mystery voice right on Dermott's show.

    Coffee and porridge with a sliced peach for breakfast. I could just murder that pina colada milkshake though, looks totally awesome!
    didyw, are you starting to feel better now?

     I used to suffer badly from cold sores when I was younger. Finally grew out of them, but still occasionally get episodes of altered sensation on my cheek, painful to even lightly brush against. Almost like trigeminal neuralgia, but I’d always assumed that it was some sneaky remnants of cold sore virus back along the nerve pathway. Now you’ve got me wondering about migraine, I have more recently had a few episodes of migraine with only optical symptoms, ( 20 minutes or so of glittery patches in my field of vision) Luckily I had an opticians appointment soon after the first time, and he confirmed what it was. Said I was lucky, as it could have been the headache and nausea version!

    Morning everyone,  still very damp here,  hoping it dries enough to get some gardening done. Much cooler last night had to put the duvet back on.

    I've been out there emptying pot saucers etc ... I tipped them in a south-westerly direction @Hostafan1 o:)

    Hi all

    We had loads of rain, but whilst weeding this morning I noticed soil was still dry an inch down.

    It's exactly the same here @punkdoc ... so many plants struggle because new gardeners don't realise that they need to water on rainy days too  ;)

    Morning all,

    That sounds intriguing d-fab!

    No such shenanigans here overnight. Just Cyril collecting last night :o 

    Had a visitor this morning. I've become obsessed with the local felines. I've just seen one of the regulars in the back garden. I went out and, sure enough, I'd caught the back end ( ;)) of it unburdening itself. I won't disturb you with a photo but what a great start to the gardening day - shovelling sh!t :(

    I was very surprised that you had a six hour boat ride BusyL, thinking to myself, but people swim the channel, so how come?  Then I realised that you went down to the south of England. Hmmm.

    I suppose I should stir myself into some housework.  Sleep well all.
    Pat, the English Channel varies in width. People swim from the Dover area where it is narrowest. It's all the south of England but the French coast varies quite a bit in it's nearness to England. It slopes away as it gets nearer Brittany in the West and the coastline is more jagged. I landed in Portsmouth.

    Hello all.

    I slept well last night after the bad nights of the last 2 days, storm and ferry.

    The garden here has been very battered by the rain, especially the roses. Malvern Hills on the arch, in full flower, is almost hanging on the ground, OH said you could easily walk under the arch a few days ago. He says he's done weeding but I don't think he always knows which plants are weeds!
