Morning all, glad you are back safe and sound @Dovefromabove it's amazing how things change when you have been away on holiday even in your own garden! Has @punkdoc returned from his GH yet I wonder what seeds he has sown. Still bunged up and snotty from nose cauterization, have to sneeze with my mouth open and not blow my nose yuk, and it will probably only last six months. The rain hasn't reached us yet but i see it is on it's way. I counted five pasties Pat, was the last one for me? there's a strong following wind today so if you care to fling it over it will be very much appreciated Take care all. have a good day.
@punkdoc has the rain stopped where you are? It’s sort of ‘damp-dry’ here if you know what I mean … needs a touch if sunshine (or a hot iron) to finish it off. 😆
Laundry is on my mind 😂 … there’s a great washer/dryer in the cottage but we hardly ever use it. Just don’t want to think about washing on holiday … it’s not hard to take enough clothes for a week … now the third load is in the wash.
I’ve also got a chunked butternut squash and some carrots all sprinkled with olive oil and ground cumin and roasting ready to make soup for OHs lunch tomorrow … he’ll be back to work.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Heavy showers here interspersed with bright dazzling sunshine, looks like a real downpour for the rest of the day. Temperature says 13 so that will be 10 or 11c here. went to put some washing in machine, realised I can get a few more bits in so gave up in that. Can’t be bothered to do anything really apart from pot on my cabbage seedlings.

Afternoon all. Back from the Great Clearing in town. All the hanging baskets are now down and emptied into the skip and the mini garden we look after cut back. There is a shrub in there that none of us could identify so I'll photograph the clipping I brought home (if it hasn't shrivelled up) and see if anyone knows what it might be. Spent most of yesterday late afternoon/evening baking a plum frangipane tart to take to daughter's for my OH's birthday supper. Phone call - eldest granddaughter's boyfriend and his mother and father have tested positive and as GD was with the BF the day before we all thought better to be safe than sorry so supper is off. Daughter will be round to pick up her share of the tart though - it is her favourite. The Gardening memories thread seems to have taken off. I should have put it in Potting Shed. And don't know how you get the little icons in the title! And it seems as if someone is off their meds. again...

Watched The Father, with Anthony Hopkins last night. He was magnificent, certainly deserving of his best actor Oscar.
