Yes, @Busy-Lizzie Fingers and toes crossed for OH. What a mess - surely if there was a problem with private surgery, they would transfer him by ambulance to NHS.
Beautiful day here - a Bobby Dazzler!! Yesterday clouded over then became sunny then clouded again. Today the weather forecast is for overcast but it's a lovely sunny day - and hot to boot.
Good news @Hostafan1 about your wee car. @Pat E I love a fire in the winter - so cosy. It's getting hot here - I hate the heat - the sleepless nights etc. but I like to be able to be outside in a summery garden (although here in the Med it's more brown than green!) But we make do!!
Light lunch - salad - then off to get a hair cut and blow dry. Then onto the SM which I hope will be clear as everyone should be on the beach on a day like today.
Loads of blackfly around - so it's out with the fingers and water bowl to do some squishing..... later today.
Afternoon, in for an early lunch for a change as rain has stopped play again. We were trying to get some plants in that we raised from seed, bought at Gordon Castle on our Scotland trip. Can't do any more to greenhouse now the timber is wet again. We needed the rain, never got enough before, but now it's a bit of a nuisance.
Chilly here too @punkdoc ... I've made a cottage pie for this evening, and the rest of the mince is in the slow-cooker turning into a ragu for a lasagne for sometime in the future ... I've wandered around the garden in the drizzle and now I'm joining you indoors ... I've got a big book on the work of Eric Ravilious to absorb
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Can't say I knew him, @Dovefromabove, but just looked him up and I really like some of his stuff. I am reading Tom Stuart-Smith's latest garden design book, a birthday present.
We have just heard that our claim against the ex NDN is still going to court, the experts report was something that the judge wanted, before making a verdict, so i suppose we might still get justice.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Good news about the court case @punkdoc Even if you never get reparation, there's always the schadenfreude to enjoy
If you like Ravilious' work have a look at Edward Bawden and Edward Ardizzone ... both friends of Ravilious ... all three were highly influential on students at the RCA in the 60s ... including my late friend Moss Fuller . https://suffolkartists.co.uk/index.cgi?choice=painter&pid=1058

Fingers crossed for you @punkdoc. Ravilious came up on a fairly recent Antiques Roadshow. You can get greetings cards of his work, to which it is eminently suitable!
I was already grumpy before arriving here because of The Committee. Not helped by this horrid new design.
Now I have to phone a bar that someone else booked and which is surplus to requirements. They won't be happy but the person who booked them (even though I am the one booking all the food and drink) refuses to, citing too much stress. One Committee member boasted about how much bunting she and her ladies had produced. (Floral, not Jubilee related). No-one made any arrangements for putting it up. So now bunting - all sorts! - is going up in a haphazard fashion.
Hello all, had a busy few days here with one thing and another. My ex- husband passed away last week, difficult to know about instances for funerals in these situations, but i think we won't go over and what with all the travel chaos at the moment I'm not keen. Went to the Opthalmologist this morning thinking it would be straight foreward new glasses but no, I have cataracts which need seeing to! Our court case was as suspeccted a win to us on all counts, but the money awarded was not as much as we hoped but better than a poke in the eye so to speak. I do hope that yours will be a good outcome @punkdoc. Chilly out of the sun here, cucumbers, pepppers, pumpkins and tomatoes all coming on a treat.

Very cold again here, so inside reading.

Wish me luck with the bar.
