Morning all. I’m sitting on my sunny veranda 😁😁. Much warmer than inside the house. I’m not sure if it’ll be too warm to bring my knitting out or whether to bring out a colouring book. I’m being rubbed on the legs by a happy Pixel.
Morning, Pat E! The time difference seems very weird. I’ve woken in the night and heard an email ping in from my daughter, who is currently in California. Evening for her there, nearly 4 am here, and presumably getting on for lunchtime for you! i shall try and get back to sleep.
Hello Ergates, yes it’s a bit strange to get used to with all the time zones. I’ve finished hanging three loads of washing on the line. It’s a lovely sunny day here. I feel a bit like getting out and doing some long overdue weeding, but I probably won’t. Still plenty of time before spring gardening raises its head. 😳🙄
Hi all just starting to get light here and the birds are singing away, am amazed how many youngsters we are still seeing, it has been a long breeding season.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ thick fog here @punkdoc …we can hardly see the houses across the rise … and the birds are all quiet, except for the cawing of a carrion crow who sat above the bedroom window to wake us.

Good morning everyone Beautiful cool morning at last. Blue sky - nary a cloud, marred only by the sound of gunshots as it is the opening of game shooting season. Grouse, pheasant, partridge, quail etc. are all on the menu today. I hope my little partridge family that I saw at the beginning of summer is all right. I flushed a flock of pheasants during the week on my morning walk - wondered if they were of the "raised and released" society ....obviously were. How I hate it - man with gun's pleasure. Grrr.
So some domestic duties today - @Pat E - a laundry day as it looks as if the week is going to be dull and dreary. Little or no rain - again!!
Many leaves from the Mulberry tree to sweep up - that should see the morning finished for me. Most of my brassicas have taken and are growing - probably about 8 out of 12 plants are thriving - 2 died - and 2 are runts. Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. The lettuces that the pigeons and birds attacked are under netting and don't seem to have died but are looking rather bare.
@D0rdogne_Damsel post a photo of the new hairdo - would love to see it on you.

Hello @tui34 … I was certainly thinking that very soon I need to tidy up the veg patch and start a row of Swiss chard off to overwinter … and I have some little late-sown kale plants that I couldn’t resist at the GC the other day … I felt so sorry for them, they looked so little … so not just seed sowing but planting out too …

We enjoyed the tea party. The weather was warm and sunny so it was outside. Afterwards friends invited us back to their house for pre-supper drinks then supper. We had a sausage and a few chips each as no one was very hungry after the tea. Went home at 10. It was a good evening.
Church this morning, will be a memorial service for the Queen.
