Oh dear @Hostafan1, hope you are both OK soon. Another lovely bright start here too, we managed a good session in the garden yesterday afternoon. Planted out some potted perennials, we have been hardening off for a while.
A fruitful morning here. Weed sprayed all around the paving stones and slabs etc. Just as I finished - the wind came up, so glad to have that done and dusted.
A bit of housework and on to make the a gratin with purple sprouting broccoli that has taken off! The neighbours will be happy with a bagful!!
I love Blue Stilton @punkdoc - so I had an extra glass of red for you -and then some more cheese and crusty bread to finish the wine, and then more wine to finish the cheese and crusty bread .....!
@Busy-Lizzie Great news - hopefully this consultation will push OH to the fore!! The pain is unbearable - especially at night. With all the gardening I've been doing, my other hip is giving me jip. I am not taking painkillers yet - it just gets bad when I get up from a chair or couch, or in the middle of the night!!
@Hostafan1 A few days rest from those long haul road trips you are making will be good for you. I imagine you have lots of jobs to do around your "estate" !!
@Pat E nice puss. He looks contented. You're doing something right!
OH has removed all the Allium Triquetrum that was invading the terrace just the stuff around base of the vine and rosemary to get rid of ... and the mass in the front garden of course ... but it's hard to get it out of there while the spring bulbs are performing.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Take the opportunity for a good rest and take care of yourself @Hostafan1 And try not to worry, if you can. Weird weekend here, we have rearranged our plans twice, following daughter’s positive Covid test, and I am now convinced it is Sunday. Keep realising it’s only Saturday, and getting very confused. Sunny out, but a chilly breeze. I’ll have to pop out and fill the bird feeders, they’ve been very popular this last week. Loads of owl activity in the garden last night, certainly more than two or three, and very vocal.

Have a pleasant day in the garden (or wherever).

I'm so sorry @Hostafan1 I hope neither of you is too ill with it and you recover quickly. Take it easy, I hope you've finished planting water lilies.
And try not to worry, if you can.

I also heard the cuckoo.
