We could do with some of that rain. Overcast and muggy this morning - sunny and windy this afternoon. My peppers have leaf curl - damned aphids again. I have blasted them with soapy water and copper to boot. Pulled out a courgette plant that was completely scrunched. The other 3 don't seem to be affected.
Apart from some weeding and trying to take photos of various bushes and vines at an odd angle with my computer in 70kmph wind - still painting odds and sods.
@punkdoc - I hope you are feeling better after a bit of R & R!! You're the birthday boy tomorrow!
Just a light drizzle here now @Busy-Lizzie … I’ve just been to the postbox down the road and didn’t really need a coat … but it was really heavy earlier on … at least my new plants have been well watered in 😂

Hi everyone, we could do with that rain here. Still desperately dry here. It's Mrs AB's birthday today but as I had an appointment in town and she insisted that I keep it we are not doing anything special. Spent most of yesterday at older daughter trying to help her get on top of her garden. I think I could spend every day for a month there, and just about get on top of it. Hope you have a better day tomorrow @punkdoc .
Very excited to see “my” garden looking fabulous on Chelsea TV. I’m so pleased I am going to be standing in front of something I genuinely love. 4.30 start tomorrow morning though, so time for sleep now. Just one more read of the plant list before I nod off.

Enjoy the rest of your day.
I've done some HW and sewing, ironing next.

Looking forward to Chelsea. Always makes me want to have Lupins. I can’t have Lupins because slugs also like Lupins. Apart from at no-slug Chelsea.
I hope you are all doing ok.
I expect tomorrows plans will be cancelled, but I am promised a sausage sandwich for breakfast.
