Hello everyone. Hubby has just informed me that we have a frost warning for tonight. 😳. I’m thinking I’ve left my chive harvesting a bit late . I usually chop them up and dry them in the food dryer to keep us supplied throughout the winter. I must see how they are tomorrow morning.
Our TV Viewing feels a bit strange tonight. It’s a rest day for the cyclists in Italy and Eurovision has finished. We are reduced to watching the Kiwi Bake-off. 😴. Never mind, Greg and Chris will be on soon showing people how to manage their food better.
Jut back from plots, 2 hours of watering not much else done. We are going to Regent's pk open air theatre tonight, looking like we've picked the best day.
Hello all, been out all day to visit an old schoolfriend. So nice we sat out in her garden for lunch. Left at 4.30 ish and got half way home when the heavens opened - so glad I was in the car, lots of very wet people walking home. Journey was a bit of a pain, roadworks and diversions everywhere. I'll have to google on lantana @Busy Lizzie, that's new one for me. Roses are doing well with the rain followed by warm sunshine, about half of mine are in bloom, so lovely to see.
Good morning all ☕☕☕ Sorry @punkdoc et al, yes I'm very late on parade ... I've been busy zapping C*mas spammers! Already!!! It's not even Midsummer!!! I've also been watering, counting tomato and squash plants and wondering where on earth I can put them, ditto sweet peas that need planting, seeing to laundry, boiling chickpeas for tomorrow's squash and chickpea korma (veggie guest coming for a few days), filling OH's lunch flask with homemade soup and doing general washing up and tidying 'stuff' ... am I excused? I'm on the sofa with a coffee for a few minutes so I can see what you lot have been up to ...

Oh dear, what a nuisance @Busy-Lizzie ... but at least you're getting a meal out of it ... can I suggest 'coq au vin' ... I slept well initially but was woken at 3:40 am by an Anglian Water van parked outside with lights on (necessary) and engine running (not!) and a chap in hi-vis twiddling a very long thingummy that I now know is a 'Listening Stick' for tracking leaks in the system ..... When I got back to sleep I had some very odd dreams, involving swimming pools, totally unsuitable for public viewing!

Everyone very late on parade today.
Another beautiful day here, with the added bonus of a little rain overnight.

I have been digging large holes to put the Cannas in and I am already knackered.

I had a bad night, could have come here at 3, 4 or 5am but didn't. At 5am I was chasing the cockerel in the garden.
OH is taking me to a pub for lunch so I won't have to cook this evening.
Last night we watched half of the Queen's Jubilee show on TV. Will watch the other half tonight.
