As the music finished I became aware of the sound of biscuits crunching ā¦ yes the hedgehogs were tucking into their supper ā¦ the we went to shut the studio door just in time to dissuade a lovely sand-coloured frog from hopping over the threshold. He wouldnāt be the first ā¦ the other summer we had a frog and a pigeon walk into the sitting room and make themselves at home.Ā
Now Iām in bed ā¦ or rather on it ā¦ under a sheet ā¦ thatās more than enough ā¦ still in the uncomfortable sweaty high 20s here ā¦ youād love it @Hostafan1 ā¦ night night all ā¦ sweet dreams š“Ā

Just pondering! Ā One of my friends told me recently that Putin was a relation - descendant from Rasputin. Hence the name. Does anyone know if this is true or some rubbish that she had read on line? Ā
Good morning all š āļøĀ Dont blame you @punkdoc ā¦ lovely time of day to be out there.Ā
Thereās all sorts of ridiculous Ā theories put about @Pat E ā¦ think the one your friend mentioned is being spread by David Icke, the chap who thinks the queen is a lizard. Thereās also a sect in Russia who worship Putin as some sort of reincarnation ā¦ totally bonkers ā¦ the internet is wonderful in many ways ā¦ it also attracts the Crazies š Ā
A hot sticky night here too ā¦ but cooler just nowā¦ only 16C ā¦ thereās the hint of rain in todays forecast ā¦ but Iām not holding my breath ā¦Ā

good morning all.Ā We've " got a hint of rain " but I've still switched a sprinkler on. Weather Channel says " thunderstorms likely at 7.30 am "Ā Watch this space.
The temperature has become reasonable!! Ā 22Ā°C this morning!! Ā
I raced home from walkies yesterday morning deciding that I would dig a space for winter crops. Ā The ground was certainly damp from the rain we had. Ā But the spade didn't even go down 6 inches before it was powder dry!! Ā Anyway, onwards and upwards. Ā I have sown: Ā Black Radish, White Radish, Chinese Radish, long beetroot, spinach, scarole, mesclun, carrots, turnips, parsnips and kale. Ā (A little of each) I have Pak Choy and about 6 cabbages that have come up in a seed box, so will dig up my sad cucumbers and plant there next month. Ā If everything surfaces - I shall be pretty windy and warm for the winter!!! Ā Could always switch to methane as a form of energy!!
First a shortage of loo rolls during covid - then cooking oil (sunflower oil here), then mustard, now it seems due to the drought, potatoes will be scarce - or available for a price!! Ā
That's a sizeable mutt @Hostfan1 Ā Wolfhound? Ā And a sizeable lawn which looks lush!!

Enjoy your day. Ā Today being Assumption here is one of the many expressions: Ā "Entrer les 2 NĆ“tre Dame, jamais serpent n'a osĆ© se montrer. Ā Between today and 8th September, snakes don't dare make an appearance!
