Oh how lovely to have swallows @raisingirl! In town we have swifts and I love seeing them - and hearing them! Put in quite a shift in the garden yesterday. Went to plant up one of the dahlias in the pot that had had tulips in it in the front - pulled out the pot to get some of the erigeron out that is growing in every crook and cranny, thought I'd tackle the grass and another weed (little bobbly yellow flowers - no clue but it completely took over the old lawn so anxious to keep it away from there now) growing in all of the cracks in the path. The path is old concrete. We can't afford to have it replaced so I think I'm going to find some creeping thyme seeds to put in the cracks. Or something. I'll be out there again, as soon as I've finished cleaning the kitchen. (I know - why am I here when I should be doing that!)
Festering in my pit again [ thought Moira might give me a bed bath! ] I really need this sinusitis to clear up, holiday soon, plus having had surgery on them twice before, really don't want it again.

Morning folks, Hope you feel better soon @punkdoc Nanna duty this afternoon so I'm taking it easy this morning as I'm aching all over from yesterday's gardening.
Hello ... I'm back from the dentists ... the hygienist tacked the left side of my mouth today and will do the right next week. She offered me anaesthetic but I said that I have a high pain threshold and thought I'd be fine ... she said that I should let her know if I changed my mind ... at the end she said I must have a very high pain threshold indeed as they'd given my gums/roots 'a really good seeing to' so I rewarded myself by calling in at the Two Magpies bakery on Timberhill and getting myself a croissant absolutely stuffed with smoked salmon and cream cheese for my lunch, some nice bread and four little Portuguese custard tarts to share with OH ... two for lunch dessert and two for supper. I think we both deserve them
Take it as easy as you can this afternoon @yviestevie
@didyw ... that little yellow bobbly weed is called Black Medic aka Medicago lupulina ... our front 'grass' is covered with it ... it had us beat ages ago ... anyway, we pretend it's there for the bees 😉
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Yes, that's the one - thank you @Dovefromabove! Glad you didn't suffer too much at the hygienist and that your gnashers are now deep cleaned (although a croissant immediately afterwards?).
Just in from today's garden shift - about to get in the shower. Book club tonight - The Word is Murder by Antony Horowitz. Amazingly I hadn't read it before so enjoyed it all the more. We don't often get a good detective story.
