Sunny here finally after a week's worth of heavy rain and miserable weather. Â There is a cold wind blowing - I think it's coming down from your direction @Busy-Lizzie!
We have white butterflies here already @Dovefromabove - settling nicely on my purple sprouting broccoli. Â I hope you find a solution to the Brassica cage. Â I grew sweetcorn last year, forgetting it's not the best for old teeth!! Â Had to strip the cobs!! Â Sigh!Â
After a Swiss Ball lesson this morning, I feel a bit "light" to do much weeding, so I am going to a nursery to buy some onion seedlings. Â I will try not to be tempted to get anything else - I will remind myself of the bunny lurking in the rockery!!
Should have done a wash last night too, BL - perfect drying weather!
Enjoy the rest of the day. Â Le soleil de mars, donne des rhymes tenaces!! Tui
Hi everyone. I need to read back to catch up, but hello all.  I’ve been occupied with Pixel and been neglecting my iPad  for a few days.  Hope all are well.
Oh @tui34 ... I'd forgotten about the 'teeth thing' ... oh well, love freshly picked sweetcorn ... I'll manage somehow. Â
M the locksmith has been and managed to unlock the sliding door on the studio ... he was amazed ... he's never seen one as big as that before (ooerr Missus ) and he's been in the business 30 years. his son B is learning the trade ... his dad is a big chap ... B is bigger and powerfully built ... poor B misunderstood what his dad was trying to do and pushed hard on the door to shut it ... his dad's fingers were in the gap 😱  we commended M on his restraint ... he did bellow at poor B, but the air did not turn blue ... OH and I made ourselves scarce for a little while. We need a new lock ... he's not sure if he can get another the same but will get the best match he can ... he'll ring later on today and it should be fixed by the end of this week ... he's made sure the house is secure ... there's a second lock at the centre of the big sliding wall and he's checked that it's fully functioning.Â

Wondered where you were @Pat E! Having lovely times with Pixel. We had lock woes @Dovefromabove! The catch on the door from the dining to the living room never worked properly so I decided to take matters in hand and order a new one - handmade by Suffolk Latches! BUT - having taken the old one off I realised that the new one just didn't fit - nothing lined up. So I had to put the old one back and now it won't shut the door at all. Lovely sunny day - but I am stuck indoors on admin. again. Got a street closure to apply for!
After 42 mins waiting for DWP to say " Oh yes, that claim HAS been cancelled several weeks ago" I went out and beheaded several goat willows growing round the lake.
I was on my way to buy a file for my chainsaw and saw the tree surgeons were working at a neighbour. I went to ask them about pricing for some work and told them I was off to buy a file " Hold on, we've probably got a spare one. " Free file and free wooden handle too. Bless'im. Edited to add, He's just come and cut some branches off a tree and didn't even charge me .

I slept well, woke up an hour later than usual.
Sheets and clothes are blowing on the line in the sunshine. I just hope they don't blow off!
I'm going to weed the Jewel bed and add some more plants.

A perfect gardening day and I'm stuck indoors on hold to DWP again
