    Evening everyone.

    So sad about the fires and losses - not something we don’t expect in this country.Ā 

    Tired from Aunty duties today. Will be doing a sleepover or two later in the summer hols so I’ll need to book a week off to recover!Ā 

    Rain forecast tonight so I’m hoping it will give the garden a well overdue watering.Ā 

    Take care all. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, rain or shine.Ā

    Really sad to hear about the fire at Brancaster Staithe @Dovefromabove, I spent one or two holidays there as a youngster and OH and I drove through there a while back just for old times sake.

    Just shoved my face out the patio doors for a bit of fresh air and it seems we've had some more rain, don't know how much but every bit helps. I finally managed to do all the stacked up ironing this afternoon so hopefully gardening for me tomorrow, weather permitting.

    Enjoy your Sunday and stay safe everyone.

    Hello Forkers. Ā Sad to see those photos Dove. It looks more like Oz than England. Ā I hope no lives were lost.Ā 
    Our news reported that fire is threatening the historic pine trees in US.Ā

    Good morning all 😊 ā˜•ļø Hello @Pat E 😊 ā˜•ļøĀ 
    18C bright with some high cloud and again some occasional swirling gusts of wind here … temperatures in the low 30s are forecast for today … I’ll get the watering done then shut the blinds and prep more beans while I catch up with the athletics. It’s a hard life šŸ˜‰Ā

    Ā Hi again Dove. We’ve been out the back again cutting more wood. Amazing how much we are getting through.Ā 

    Ā I got Hubby to stop down near the shed on the way back to see if I could spot the little goat. It was hiding in our hay shed. 😁. Ran for its life when I spoke to it. I’ve ring a neighbour who has goats to ask if she’s missing one, but no answer . Ā It’ll be ok for another night I suppose.

    Well at least you know it's found some shelter ... is there a way of shutting the hay shed to keep it in so the owner can catch it?Ā

    Hi all

    We've had rain overnight, but not enough to make a difference.
    Yesterday I was able to walk across our pond without getting my feet wet, the first time I have been able to do this in 26 years.

    Oooh how exciting @Pat E ... I'd be happy to share her with you ... not sure how much of the feeding and mucking out I could do ... but the spirit is willing ... can we have a photo ... and she needs a name ... I presume it's a she?Ā  An entire billy wouldn't be so much funĀ  :/
