Hello all ... late on parade today ... I've been soup-making. Yesterday turned into a lovely day ... when OH got back from his dental checkup we made the most of the weather and drove down to the Suffolk coast to Southwold Harbour and bought lots of fresh fish from the fishermen's hut ... we had some wonderfully fresh cod for supper (battered, with chips) and there's line-caught skate, plaice fillets and salmon in the freezer. The sun was gorgous and we had a stroll along the very muddy harbour ... (there were very high tides last week) and now the driver's footwell of my car needs a bit of attention
I hope everyone's ok ... I'd better have a read back ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hazel 50 degrees would be very hot indeed. Lily I’ve caught up on some lost sleep and visited. I had Bruno sound asleep next to me. Chive it’s very sunny here after a cold start. I’m doing Lilys tv. Ante I hope the weather remained fine for your journey and that Rose can rest after her endeavour.
Afternoon All, another dry bright day here we’ve been very lucky, SGL Glad you had a good nights sleep and feel better today, yes I was with the little ones who were all getting hot running around outside and wanting to take their coats off 😊 Hazel Phew 50°! I could not cope with that heat either 🥵 hope all your Lily’s TV things are done and hung somewhere to dry, or maybe in the warm wind machine 🧺 Busy Hope you managed to do some gardening this afternoon once the ground thawed a little and got your roses planted, that will be a lovely bed, Dove One of my favourite places to visit Southwold, I love the pier and all the quirky arcade games in there. Your lunch sounded delicious and lots of fresh fish to bring home yum 😋 Bluebells I’m sure Bruno was happy to keep you company during your visit, glad the sun came out for you it’s a cheery sight, Biglad The new fence looks good 👍 you wasn’t kidding that was a tight gap!
Had a very difficult afternoon . Rufus got himself into a dirty mess .I had to bath him .Only the second time in nine years . It was like bathing a tiger .He spat and fought and scratched .Managed to get him clean then wrapped him in an old throw to dry him .I tried to blow dry him, that went badly.He jumped out of my hands and made a hasty retreat under OH chair .Fortunately he is an indoor cat and never goes out .I have turned the heating up to help him dry off .I am exhausted . He is such a big powerful cat .When I was young we had a lovely moggie who loved having a bath . Rufus certainly does not .
A close shave there @Biglad 😂 @Rubee Oh dear poor you & Rufus, they don’t always appreciate you’re trying to help them out with these actions. Hope you’ve not been too badly scratched and Rufus has dried in the warm, a stressful experience for you both. Best wishes Rubee have a calming cup of tea & hope Rufus doesn’t have any more episodes ☕️
We came home half an hour ago. Rose is well and she is eating right now. She is still little bit dizzy but ok. Ladies, I must disappoint you regarding Monty's show this night, I would be delightful to participate in it, but it's other Ante. I will see this episode tomorrow. Now it's time for dinner. I have pumpkin soup and focaccia. It will be fine for tonight.
Good afternoon everyone. I had a great day today at Canasta. 21 of us turned up to play which was an excellent turn out. Lovely to catch up with everyone.
Well done Biglad - the fence is looking really good now. Are you going to paint/stain it? I'm still debating about mine.
Good grief Ruby, thats a saga and a half about poor Rufus and yourself. I do hope that you are not scratched too badly.
Ante, I am so pleased to hear that Rose is home again and happy. That is good news. We were only teasing you about Monty's programme Ante I am looking foward to seeing it and there will be no spoilers until you get chance to catch up tomorrow.

No - I'm leaving it @Ladybird4. It came pre-dipped and should last a while as it is. If I can still see significant portions of it in two years time, I've failed

Hope the weather has tempted a few of you into the garden today. We need to make the most of it before the bad stuff returns!
