    Afternoon all, a nice quiet day here, started cloudy and ended up with warm sunshine. Had a longer walk this morning to our local small Tesco's because I'd forgotten to order tomatoes on Thursday and mine are all still green. Pleased to see that our local Garden Club had won gold in the Bath in Bloom Community gardening category. I must remember I'm one of the virtual judges next week for the Club's online Flower Show.
    Pottered in afternoon, catching up on all the niggly gardening jobs one tends to leave, rose tying in, hedge tidying, pots and troughs emptied and tidied etc.
    Glad I don't have chooks @Obelixx, they'd drive me crazy although their antics are quite amusing.
    Hope the christening goes well BL and hope Hostafan has a quiet day. How are all the hostas doing in the polytunnel? Sorry to hear about the tragic accident. We feared there'd been one of  those on the nearby M4 as a helicopter kept going round and round and round, as did one of those irritatingly noisy small planes. Couldn't find any untoward traffic updates though.

    Sounds like most of us have had a productive day … hugs for all who could make use of one … see you in the morning, night night 😴

    Morning everyone. It’s rained overnight, so the washing got an extra rinse. 🙄.  Can’t say it wasn’t expected, but irritating all the same.  With a bit of luck, today will be sunny and dry and I’ll be able to get it in.

    Still overcast but not raining, so by 4pm, I might be able to get some in to hang inside.

    Morning @Pat E
    The rain must be very welcome for you and I hope your dams are filling up nicely.

    Thanks Hosta. We haven’t driven out the back to check the dam levels, but the river has spread right across for a change, so that’s good.  

    How’s Hubby today?  Settled I hope. 😁

  • Morning @Hostafan1, glad things are a bit calmer. An awful long drawn out time for you, life can be so cruel. 😥

    Hello @Pat E, I can never quite get my head around our reverse seasons, although this year our seasons have been very bizarre any way. So cold in the early mornings and evenings now. 

    We've had to put the sides up on our marquee already, trying to decide what to do about heating it now, if anything. Just not sure what the demand will be. Tricky because although schools go back this week, we've only just started seeing any Brits, retired 2nd home owners, they've been coming in droves this week.

    Congratulation to you @D0rdogne_Damsel.
    What a fantastic thing you've created. You've worked so hard and you deserve every bit of your success. 
    Love to you and Charlie

    Hear hear, DD. 👏👏👏. I don’t know where you get your energy, but well done you.

    We’ve had drizzle on and off all day. Grrr. Anyway, I’ll sort it out tomorrow. 

    Thinking of you Hosta. Just a question. Does he understand what’s happening.  I’ve often wondered if people with memory probs understand. I think I’d rather not know, if it was me.
