Lovely sunny day here but sadly no gardening for me just yet. The seed potatoes have arrived though and I'll lay them out to start chitting.
Quite a busy week again this week - a get together event tomorrow evening for all the town centre businesses/retailers which I am hosting at our local theatre, which will be fun, then another meeting the day after for this years arts festival at which I will be attempting to get all of the creatives to think sensibly about what they want to do, how it will be done and what the costs will be.
And looking forward to the end of the week - a performance of Dido and Aeneas at the church and a clay workshop with my daughter on Sunday. As I said to her - she needs more life in her work/life balance as work (she's a stressed out primary school teacher) is wearing her out.
I was originally nicknamed Dido by my first boyfriend @Dovefromabove. He was reading the Aeneid and rather fancied me as the Queen of Carthage! The name stuck but quickly morphed into Didy. That boyfriend did abandon me by going up to Cambridge but we have always remained friends, even after he moved to the US. In fact he came to visit last year!
@Dovefromabove, golly, that must have been one hell of an explosion, do you yet know how it happened? It can't be easy trying to deal with all the companies and authorities in a case like your son's when he can't authorise anything at all at the moment. Sympathies.
I've been trying to get hold of my pension company to clarify a few issues, can't lay my hands on my original pension policy and not even sure if they issued one. Hung on for half an hour on the phone this afternoon and then gave up.
I did two hours in the garden finishing off feeding the roses, mulching with bark chip and cutting down two dead hebes. My first Tete a Tete daffs are blooming by the front door which was a very cheery site on a grey overcast day - a complete contrast to yesterday.
Rather you than me @didyw, I can't stand meetings and am not a committee person. My daughter rang this afternoon and would like me to go down to Devon to help with her garden so that will be nice. Haven't seen her since Xmas.
Morning all. No news here, but we might, just might, get a bit of rain to help reduce the heat. Another visit to the Physio later. I’m much better since my first visit. 👏
Hoping Dove’s son is progressing well. Such a worry for the family.

I hope there has been a bit of progress with your long term problems. It seems ages since you first told us about it.
coffee is on its way … 🥱
