    That’s lovely @Hostafan1 😊 

    I’ve just seen Tom Daley under the shower … but now you’ll  have to watch ‘on the red button’.

    Good morning all 
    Happy anniversary  @Hostafan1 and lovely OH xx it will be lovely to share your day with some visitors,  maybe they can help with Hosta planting?! 

    Welcome back @SilviSherr glad you had a lovely time away!

    Hey @punkdoc sorry you and Moira are having such a challenging time,  hugs to you both

    @AuntyRach enjoy your week off work! Chocolates and gardening programmes seem a good start to me!!

    Still getting my back in order,  taking a while,  I'll go back to gardening work Monday,  I'll just do my ironing work today and go gently!

    We've just had a very brief beam of golden sunshine but now it's blocked out by the very dark grey stuff.   OH has just found a frog hopping about in the hall and released it outside and then gone off to play golf.  No rain forecast today so, of course, it is persisting down now.

    I had to be on parade early - for me - so he could help me move a table out of the way and I've already polished up the cabinet I waxed yesterday.   More such fun later but first I need to steam clean the ceiling (tongue and groove pine) and give it a wood wash to lighten it.

    Happy birthday @Hostafan1 and hubby.

    Good morning to you!

    The summer is really proving worthless this year.  Hot today (29°C p.m.) then grey and rainy tomorrow and of course a drop in temperature.  I wonder what the winter has in store for us?
     
    Happy Anniversary for the decade you have been together @Hostafan1  Hope you have made a special cake to share with your visitors today!

    @Obelixx  Yes, the weather is certainly not for growing peppers and aubergines!!  (Although mine are coming along nicely).  I grew some mini red and green peppers too this year.  Perfect for light grilling and stuffing with goat's cheese.  Go well with a well-chilled Prosecco - easy does it on that too!!
    I net everything the pigeons or birds can get into, especially freshly sown seeds.  I grew Mesclun this summer and am well happy with the result. (netted)

    @WonkyWomble  I hope your back is better by Monday, or you could do yourself another mischief!

    @D0rdogne_Damsel  It will be interesting to read your comments next week once the Covid Pass comes into use.

    @Dovefromabove    Did Tom accidentally drop the soap?

    Have a good day - whatever!

    We've been together for 26 years, just had to wait for the law to change to allow us to get married.

    Morning all,
    Happy Anniversary @Hostafan1, hope you enjoy the day with your visitors.
    It's absolutely tipping down here, really awful - just what you don't need whilst trying to load the car up.
    We're waiting for the British Heart Foundation people to collect our old large coffee table . They resell furniture in good condition for the charity. Hope they turn up soon, I really need it out of the way.
    Hope it doesn't rain too much for you @AuntyRach - you've got time off, haven't you?
    Good luck with the waxing, polishing and steam cleaning Obelixx.
