@punkdoc you have our sympathy, we had to move all our pots off the patio, a month ago when we had all the soffits and guttering done. We spent over a week putting them back gradually rather than trying to do it all at once.
Just came to bed and have been listening to a pair of tawny owls kewik-ing and woohoo-ing to each other close by … now they’ve gone around to the back of the house … I’m tempted to move into the spare bedroom so I can listen to them as i go to sleep … night night folk … sleep tight 😴

I've just watched that too @Allotment Boy, quite emotional.
I went on a school trip to the IoW and collected coloured sand when I was in junior school.
We did the weekly shop. 35° on the way home in the car.
I bought a new printer. I was trying to print a paper on our HP printer and it wouldn't work, either with the WiFi or the cable. It used to work with a cable and my Laptop. OH was able to print with his computer, which uses the Wifi extender. So I thought I would buy a printer and keep it near my computer and the main WiFi box. We had terrible bother making it work, it just wouldn't recognise my Laptop and I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to print my boarding pass when I was on my own. Eventually OH turned off the other printer and bingo! it worked. They are both HP. I hadn't meant to get the same make but that was the only inexpensive one the shop had. It was weird, it seemed as though the printers were talking to each other and had decided to communicate with OH's Laptop and not mine.
OH went to bed a while ago. The bedroom is 30° and it's put me off.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
@Busy-Lizzie , I must try connecting my laptop to our printer which is up in the loft office. I'm not sure if I can connect my laptop with Windows 10 at the same time as the old computer which is probably still using Windows 7. Fun and games to be had I fear.
We're just waiting for DIL to have her shower (she's been working late here) and then we're off to bed. I've just bought a pair of steel fancy trellis panels from B&Q online which I'm hoping will help prop up my very vigorous Claire Austin rose, so I've got to drive over to Bristol tomorrow morning to collect them. I'll have a good wander round while I'm there, it's huge and I really enjoy it, very sad I know.
Chicklets never went to the IoW on school trips (but went there many times on family days out - that’s what happens if you’re from Southampton). But they did do many multiple night stays away in Dorset and Shropshire. Some were successful. Some remain seared in my memory for all the wrong reasons.
I'm Southampton born and bred. Children and grandchildren still live here. My husband gets all exited when talking about crossing to I.O.W. on the Red Funnel ferries.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ overcast here and a comfy 16C second coffee on its way … I remember a childhood holiday at Sandown IoW … our hotel played beach cricket against another hotel … Pa hurt his back. Years later we took @WonkyWomble and her brother there on holiday and we went to Alum beach to see the coloured cliffs … there was a group of nuns going up to the top on the chair lift … their black habits flapping in the breeze as they passed overhead … for all the world like a flick of large bats … it’s what my son remembered most about that holiday 😂
