Glad your OH is back after his op and great that your son picked him up and is taking him back for his checkup today @Pat E - hope all is well!
I am afraid I am still addicted to nicotine. I gave up cigarettes over 15 years ago - probably more, but have to confess I used nicotine lozenges to help - and I'm still addicted to those. But at least they are not harming my lungs - even if they are an extra cost. My daughter still smokes - although hardly at all, a quick puff outside after a meal - and pretends she doesn't!
Rain in the night here - more substantial than of late but even so, has only penetrated the top inch or so. Completely dry and sandy about a third of the way down the trowel.
Edited to add: thanks you @Dovefromabove - the zig zags didn't last too long and the headache has gone this morning. I see my optician early next month. He's only there on a Thursday and as my symptoms match those for occular migraine - and I spend an awful lot of time concentrating on my screen - I'm fairly certain that this is occurring because I need a new prescription. I have glasses for distance - driving, walking along, watching tv and reading glasses but neither work for the laptop - I need a third pair!
Why are you assuming our new Health Secretary has spilled her drink down her front? It might have been the soup course. Or gravy. She does remind me a bit of my A level Maths teacher, who added an additional layer of soup, scrambled egg, tomato sauce, etc to her outfit each day! And would drink rather clotted looking buttermilk from a carton during our lessons.
I'll pot them up then @Dovefromabove. I'm going back to France on the 22nd for 10 days, then back here. Or I could deliver them. Hope they survive being potted up.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
If you could pot them up that'd be lovely @Busy-Lizzie ... not hundreds ... 3 would be plenty they take up a fair bit of space don't they. And then, depending on my innards, perhaps you could come for a coffee (if you promise not to look at my negected garden) or we could meet up somewhere? Either before you go or when you get back ... we're off to Cornwall at the end of the month ... Verbascums will be shutting down soon so should be ok in a quiet corner somewhere.

There was a storm in the night but I slept through it. OH woke up. It's usually the other way round.
I hate the smell of cigars, but I used to smoke. Glad I gave up, don't miss it at all now.
I hope your tum is on the mend @Dovefromabove. I have some baby tall yellow wild verbascums. Are you still interested?
Off to plant cyclamens in the shady corner.
