Hi all, glad all the holiday makers are having a lovely time. Sorry to hear about your covid woes, Pat E. Hopefully the jabs will have done their bit, and you both get over it quickly. Plenty of rest. Glad you are recovering, Punkdoc, but sounds like you can’t rush it. I’m not getting much done, seem to start off ok in the morning, but by the afternoon, my head and neck are aching, and sinuses complaining, and I’m feeling awful. Only one green bin got out for this morning, with some brambles and hedge trimmings in it. Just hoping OH doesn’t come down with whatever I’ve had, he is not a patient patient. Rainy showers today and very windy. Not at all tempting to venture out.
Afternoon all, very wet and very windy here most of the day, went to the GC to meet my friend for lunch and nearly got marooned in the carpark because of a sudden fierce squall, just sheets and sheets of rain belting down. Enjoyed lunch and a good old natter anyway. Just bought some Iris r. 'Harmony' bulbs as they didn't have 'George' unfortunately. I also had wanted another obelisk for a clematis but again none of them matched the ones I have already.
My sister rang when I got back home and I think she's regretting her holiday choice, it's a bit too remote, even for her! Ten miles along a very narrow, single track road to the nearest tiny shop and only 4 houses in the hamlet she's staying in, most are holiday lets. The ferry over to Mull was £26 return which is dearer even than the IOW one. It's been raining quite a lot as well and she hasn't seen much local wildlife such as seals which they'd been hoping to see.
I wondered how you were getting on @Pat E, hope your OH is not too bad with it.
Beautiful photo @chicky, hope the weather stays dry for your gardening session tomorrow.
DD, have fun on your mystery bus trip, let us know how you got on.
Having a quiet day. Back still aches and it has tipped with rain. Though I did walk to the Post Office (now closed down but still has a letter box) to post birthday cards for 2 grandsons. Not a Busy Lizzie today!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
It's good to have a day off doing nothing much in particular @Busy-Lizzie! I'm sorry your back is still aching though. I thought mine would after yesterday's efforts but it's my shoulder that's giving me grief.
I took my poly greenhouse down today as there was talk of stormy winds. Job for the weekend will be organising my pots so the cuttings, tenders and pelargoniums can be moved to sheltered spots or award them a place inside (limited by number of windowsills divided by places the cats like to go).
Take care all - the holiday people, the poorly people, the busy people and the anything in between people.
Autumn day here. Overcast and calm with the promise of sunshine later. Not much on the cards today. Faffing around in the garden, sweeping more leaves and so forth and so on!
A pleasant day to all. A la Saint Thomas, les jours sont au plus bas. (Hmmmm - like that here)

Typical Autumn rain, wind and sun today.
