Good afternoon everyone. Splendiferous day again here. We have had high temperatures in the afternoons (28°C - 30°C) with a light breeze. Nights are cool and "sleepable". @Busy-Lizzie Have you got the results? I do hope you have a date for the operation. Good luck.
@Dovefromabove Sounds like the ideal holiday - oh how I wish I could sleep through a night!
2.30am for me this morning (again). Listened to some guided meditation and I think I got back to sleep just before 6am awake at 7.50. I exercise twice a week and walk every day (8km this morning with a friend....natter, natter, natter). Gardening, some heavy lifting... generally faffing around but I cannot get a decent night's sleep.
@punkdoc I trust you are feeling a bit more chipper today. I hope the roofers turn up!
Hope you all have a pleasant enough day. Tui
For today: A Saint François, vient le premier froid.
Afternoon all. Glad you are feeling a bit better @punkdoc and hope that the OH x-ray will speed things up @Busy-Lizzie. I tried to pop in here last night but it wouldn't let me. Still feeling a bit meh but getting things ticked off the list slowly. Off to the Drs. in an hour to have them look in my ear. All being well, they'll be able to use their suctioning device but I may have to wait for that. Fed up with being deaf in one ear - and the other one on its way. Is that Doom Bar @Dovefromabove? It's what Cormoran Strike drinks when in Cornwall.
Glad you're slowly on the mend @didyw and punkdoc, shame about the roofers.
I ache all over now, been busy in the garden again as it's been dry all day. Pulled the dalek off and shovelled up the contents into my garden cart which is easier for me to haul up and down the steps to the front garden for mulching the flower bed I weeded yesterday. Took three loads - which only covered half the bed! After lunch and a rest, I crawled under the magnolia and ripped up all the ivy plus weeds plus I pruned all the dead bits I could reach. Then I weeded all the way down on the drive side.
The sight of Dove's nice cold beer has me longing for a cold white wine but it's not 6 pm wine time yet! Looks a bit stormy down in Cornwall. I think we've got that to come later in the week.
A friend's just rung to make arrangements to meet tomorrow at a GC, I've got a voucher so will buy some iris reticulata bulbs - I love the ones called 'George', a beautiful bluey purple. I also need manure for the roses and some SBK for the ivy.
Sea bass for dinner tonight, might have it with potato wedges for a change.

We are at the hospital for OH's appointment with his surgeon. He's having yet another X ray at the moment and I'm sitting waiting.

I did manage a few minutes in the garden, but have been in bed since.

Fingers crossed for Busy-Lizzie's OH.
