Phew! a long row of mixed lettuce seedlings and two rows of Swiss Chard ... they all fit, just, under a plastic polytunnel type cloche so that'll do them for a few days as they've not really been hardened off properly ... but there's no room indoors for them now. Lots of watering of pots done too ... and all the while I was being sworn at by the robins whose eggs appear to have hatched ... apparently it's their garden, not ours

Good luck @punkdoc. Looks like a lovely gastro pub you went to @Busy-Lizzie - it's my husband's Big Birthday this year so I am keeping an eye out for a good restaurant as a treat. Hope the deer doesn't get shot @Pat E. Hope your MIL recovers quickly and has it only mild @Dovefromabove - and that you both are OK. Spent a very pleasant afternoon in the garden yesterday, potting up, potting on and generally pottering. I have about a dozen francoa plants, sown last year that may well flower this year. Some will be donated to a plant stall. Some Jamaica Primrose cuttings got too tall so I made cuttings from them again. A nice sunny day again today but I have admin to do before getting out there again. (And I need to put another wash on).
@didyw thanks to you and everyone for your good wishes for MIL and crossing your fingers for us. Back in the day when I lived down there the Fox & Goose was our special restaurant of choice ... back then it was run by Ruth Watson (ex Hintlesham Hall, Hotel Inspector, Crown & Castle Orford etc) and won loads of awards ... and I hear it still maintains a really good reputation ... and it's only 20 mins or so from you isn't it?
I need to hang one load out and put another in the machine ...

Hello all, cold and wet again today, please send some sun down this way if you have any to spare! Good luck @punkdoc we had to have a court appointed so called "expert" for our court case... he just made things worse, I hope yours comes up to expectations. Sorry to hear about MIL @Dovefromabove best wishes to her for a speedy recovery to get back to her ukulele!
Afternoon all, Bit of a breeze today but still warm. Clouding over now.
Glad your daughter's got sorted @Yviestevie. I'm due to visit my daughter tomorrow and will be sleeping in a strange bed so hoping I'll be able to sleep well. @Dovefromabove , Sorry about your MIL, do hope she'll be okay and you too. I must say we are now greatly relieved to have had covid and got over it mildly. It's great to now go out and about without worrying about catching it. I know you can get it again but according to the NHS website, it should give us immunity for at least 3 months. I've just had an NHS text reminding me to get my 4th jab but will have to wait till my month is up. Hope your 'expert' comes down on your side @Punkdoc - enjoy your trip to Cambridge. How funny you've now seen a deer @Pat E. Enjoy the rest of the day folks.
