    As opposed to "entertainment for the hard thinkers."

    I wish that nature would stop abhorring the vacuum left by my dead penstemons for five minutes and let the dog see the rabbit.😡

    After being in London a few days and changing diet I find I have an arthritic crisis in my right thumb and wrist so I can't do any serious gardening.  Very frustrating.  Have to hope my normal diet fixes it.

    My thumbs are the first to be affected too. A warning signal. Hope you feel better soon. Thumbs are useful things.

    Thanks @B3.  I've been following an anti-inflammatory diet for a couple of years now and they've been fine but the London visit was not healthy at all.  At home we eat almost no processed foods except for baked beans with grilled bacon and a poached organic egg once a week and lots of fruit, veg and salad every day.

    I clicked the like button for this because it seemed appropriate.

    I bought the kids a slide yesterday as an early birthday present for my youngest. Of course they were up at the crack of dawn eager to get sliding and they're now outside in full winter clothing because it's so bleedin' cold at the moment. It's almost June and the Met Office are predicting the hottest day of the year this week but it's still too cold to plant out the beans :|  The slide also dominates my small garden and it's going to take some serious landscaping to make it blend in a bit.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    @wild edges where do you live?  It's been consistently quite warm weather here for over a week.

    He lives in Wales … I’m in Norfolk … it’s not been warm here either; we have ‘a cooling breeze off the North Sea’. 

    Heatwave?  Wot heatwave? 😵‍💫
