    @Ladybird4 probably a huggy day 🥰 as I'm going to their house. But I'm sure there will be a duck pond day soon 😉😂 
    Sorry to hear you have rain again. I'm hoping the sun stays here awhile. Its still a bit breezy so not particularly warm.

    Good morning all.

    I hope you managed to get back to sleep @Songbird-1 and that you enjoy your visit.

    Sun is shining, it will be another day of taming the garden!

  • LB I’ll join you for a cuppa.  Hazel I’m glad you’ve both arrived safely.  I was thinking about you.  Memories of your dad today.  Sending a virtual hug.  Chive I hope too that Rich can get a rescue centre to take over the care of the chicks.   Lily a pizza is a tasty treat good with salad on these warmer days.  Lily enjoy your huggy day and may be a trip to the duck pond.  Rubee I’m sure a rose would look very nice there.   Perhaps some leaf mould and a good compost.  Don’t overdo it digging up.  I have weeding ahead.

    Afternoon all,

    I've sowed another small area of border (front garden) with a mix of flowers. I'm fairly certain anything that germinates will end up as Shaun food but the current state is an homage to TS Eliot :o 

    Protective structure construction is underway. Another project started that may well drag on for a while :D

    Good afternoon all. Gosh Biglad, that brought a memory of my studies. The Wasteland - T.S. Eliot.
    Ruby I think that you are probably wise to stagger your box roots unearthing. You don't want to be out of action at all. Its raining steadily here but I've got my jobs done, bins are out for tomorrow and I will see if there is anything exciting to watch on the box tonight that does not involve 25 men (think thats right including the officials) running around a green space booting a ball.

    He was on our A' level syllabus @Ladybird4. I found his work largely depressing, whilst Jane Austen was utter tedium to a 16-17 year old boy :( On the plus side, I became a Thomas Hardy fan :)

    The Thirty Nine Steps was one of my favourite books at school.

    I loved Jane Austin and Thomas Hardy, but I didn't like some of Hardy's sad endings.

    I have back ache now, maybe I've been a bit over enthusiastic about sorting out OH's garden. Two shrub roses were lying on the lawn having been battered by the rain and weeds had grown. I had to do something about it.

    A physiotherapist rang this afternoon about after care after OH's hip replacement. She was nice. But OH will have to sleep on his back and he always sleeps on his side. I hope he can manage it.

    You've got me thinking now Ruby. I'm going to have to rake up the grey matter to see if I can remember any of mine.
