Morning everyone, coo @AnnaB, could you send that rain here please. Yesterday we had 6 spots at 5pm which dried instantly, then the same again about half an hour later the same again . We finally had a shower where the drops joined up , but dried again . This morning we have some quite dark clouds coming over but they are not delivering any rain. 😧
@Hostafan1, hope you are feeling a bit brighter today, I can't imagine how you have coped in this past year. Look after yourself.Â
A dribble more rain overnight, we certainly need it. Sisters have finally agreed on what to do with Mums ashes, so we are meeting a week on Friday to scatter them. It has been complicated by finding a note written 65 years ago saying she wanted to be buried in Scotland. For several reasons it has been decided to ignore this, which I think is the right thing to do.Â
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
You're both constantly in our thoughts @Hostafan1 ... you know where we are ((hugs))
We too had a smattering of rain yesterday evening @punkdoc, but not enough to do any good, although it was lovely standing outside in thin linen clothing feeling the raindrops on my skin .... I went out to the front to top up a big pot saucer that's been out there for the birds and passing wildlife during this hot spell, and a young mum was pushing a pram and walking two youngsters out in the rain ... as she said it was way past their bedtime but no school in the morning and the feel of the rain was lovely ............. now the sky is full of showery clouds but we're not forecast anything worthwhile ... half an hour of showers around midnight perhaps ........ mind you, there's a load of bedlinen in the machine ... if I put that on the line it might just do the trick 🧺 ⛈

Hello all, a bit cooler here today but the sun is poking it's nose through the clouds ho hum. Please send rain this way if any of you have some to spare! Thinking of you @Hostafan1, we are all here for you. Picked some more haricot vert a couple of days ago and they were stringy, never known this before, I guess it's something to do with the heat? OH is trying to mend our wooden shed, two planks of wood have separated, presumably due to the weather. I like blaming everything on the weather.Â
I've just picked another 2kg of runner beans ... this is bonkers ... on top of which we left the roots of last years runners in the ground as usual, cutting the top growth off. They're regrown, presumably because of the mild winter ... OH has put up a few canes up for them ... we may get a crop from them tooÂ

OH NO! Gullible consumers won't know what to do with their money
Echoing all the other sentiments on here, you are in our thoughts, @Hostafan1
