    Good morning all. Nice sunny, coolish morning here, but dark clouds looming towards the west.  Pixel seems to have forgiven me for treading on her toe.  This morning as I was trying to get my eyes open there was a soft purring head rubbing in my hand. 😁. I’m not sure it’s because she wanted a cuddle so much as she wanted to get out to the sunny front veranda. 🙄   She has now discovered the little finches that have arrived, but I think they’ll be too quick for her. They flit from one place to another very quickly. Fingers crossed anyway.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    Glad you’re back in Pixel’s good books @Pat E 😊 
    OH has four days at home … he’s asked for a To Do list for the garden 😃… I’ll need a large sheet of paper ….

    Morning Dove. Yes, she’s such a sweet little cat. We are loving having her here. 

    Hope your OH doesn’t run out of steam, before the list is done. 😁

  • Morning @Pat E and @Dovefromabove, ooh, my dream man, wanting a gardening to- do list, lucky you! :)

    Beautiful, beautiful sunny morning here, the daffodils, tulips and magnolia are all absolutely glowing in the sunshine and the purple aubretia and grape hyacinth beneath really set off the colours. I wasted too much time yesterday just wandering around the garden just looking at them all. 

    Have another Birthday Cake ordered yesterday, a crossword fan, so I am trying to design something appropriate, I wish they gave me more notice, difficult to just throw something together. 

    Hope poorly people are not too poorly and everyone has a good day. :)

    Ooh that's beautiful @Allotment Boy   

    Morning all.

    It's another sunny day in West Dordogne. The main lawn needs mowing and I will weed the flower beds, though they aren't too bad, mostly hairy bittercress. I still have some plants to plant, including foxgloves. I wanted foxglove seeds but can't find them anywhere, not even in the GC.

    It's good to be typing on a big keyboard instead of on my phone.

    Hi all

    Glorious again.
    Friend was supposed to be visiting for an outside lunch, but he has tested positive this morning.

    Having almost tripped over something OH told me to put somewhere  I wouldn't trip on it, I've been told to speak and point ... apparently it's a useful skill  ;)

    What a glorious tree @Allotment Boy.
    Wish my OH would ask for a list of gardening jobs @Dovefromabove.  But he currently has the bad back that comes upon him from time to time.  So he is behaving more like @punkdoc - watching!
    But no gardening for me today sadly.  I have a craft fair to prepare for tomorrow.   It's at Pulham St. Mary Dove, if you know that neck of the woods.
