Good day indeed @D0rdogne_Damsel, and a good idea to both do the book reading, will help you keep in touch with Charlie. Life without him is going to be tough, at least at first but hopefully your friends will rally round and of course you've got the restaurant to keep you more than busy.
I haven’t had a chance to read back yet, but saw the one from AnnieB 😁. I had to laugh when our son was packing up to go home, Pixel disappeared into our bedroom. I don’t think she’s ready to go home yet. She’s enjoying the freedom (and cuddles) here.
I’ve planned a session in my veggie garden this morning and Hubby offered to help. I want to dig over the first bed and get it ready for spring planting in September. Hopefully it’ll be warm enough to plant some veggies by then. There are lots of reports of prices rising, so it might be time to get active again since I’ve not done anything out there since Hubby got sick and I also saw an Eastern Brown snake sunbathing on my little path. 😳😡. Anyway, if we can dig it up, get rid of large weeds, empty the paper shredder and compost bin in and then dig and rake it over and spread mulch over the top. Should be good. Fingers crossed.
Mind you, Hubby recently discovered frozen spinach which was very successful in a dish he made with pasta, ricotta, etc. it was yummy.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ Frozen spinach is brilliant @Pat E 😊
Wall to wall blue sky this morning and a lovely day ahead … OH will be at work today and then has to go to the opticians to pick up his specs so I’ve no idea what time we’ll want supper so it’ll be a salad of some sort.
After watering is done I’m going to the farm shop and butcher, and I’ll call at Boots to pick up my prescription, and then I’ll be needed for supervisory duties again at SW19 🎾 😉

Great picture Dove but I certainly couldn't go in one - cant stand heights. Luckily we dont get many here as they tend to frighten the horses especially when they use their boosters to gain height. Beautiful morning here with views across the valley. The morning mist was making the scene look like a sea inlet with the forest tree tops looking like little islands dotted around. Sounds like you had a lovely day with Charlie DD, it must be so exciting for him to be off into the outside world. He's growing up so fast and you are going to miss him. Happy Friday folks - enjoy the sunshine.
Your post last night, @AnnaB, made me laugh. I sound like Superwoman!
It will be hot and sunny again today. The veg garden badly needs weeding but it may be too hot. I may do some overdue HW. Or I could just flop on the sfa and watch Wimbledon. Shame abot Nadal having to retire.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I used to think I'd love to go up in a balloon ... but I'm not so sure now ... I'd probably do something to my knee when we landed 🙄
I've put the sprinkler on the veg patch for a bit ... moving it every 20 mins ... then I'll water the pots with the hose before I go shopping ... just writing my list ...

Beautiful day here. Still catching up all the work in the garden from our holiday. The stream has stopped flowing, seems a yearly event now, but never happened during our first 20 years here.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Morning all. Thanks for Previously on Forkers @AnniD. Sounds like a lovely day with your Charlie @D0rdogne_Damsel - gorgeous photo. I did a degree in Eng. lit. too, so I wonder what books he has? Lovely sunset @Pat E - hope the snake isn't too troublesome.
The climate crisis isn't going away is it @punkdoc? We seem to be actively bringing it on with the destruction of rain forests, continuance of extraction of fossil fuels, reduction of investment in renewables. But the go-ahead has been given for two new massive windfarms of the Norfolk/Suffolk coasts. Now we locals just have to accept that one way or another, that power has to get from there to here and we have to accept unsightly pylons or land disturbance if they underground the cables.
Enjoy the tennis Dove! It has rather passed me by this year, but was sad to hear Rafa had to withdraw.
