Good morning all, mild but cloudy here. The window cleaner is coming today, so we have pots to move. @coccinella, I bought Foremost first early, Charlotte 2nd early, Sarpo Mira a blight resistant main, plus a few Pink fir Apple. The advantage is you can buy a suitable number for your own situation. You pay for a bag, and put whatever number of different ones you want. Not many places sell them like this most just do prepackaged ones. They do those too.
My hairdresser doesn't offer ear-lowering - I wonder what that entails? @D0rdogne_Damsel?
Much excitement in Bungay yesterday! I logged on to find emails and messages on Facebook from family and friends about news items they had seen in the tabloids about there being more Satanists here than anywhere else in England and Wales. The local paper had picked up on this when the 2021 data was recently released and now the nationals have jumped on the story.
As I went into the church for the concert yesterday lunchtime I came across two Sun journalists, one draped over the Druid Stone being photographed by the other!
The concert was lovely but the church was so cold. And my mind kept drifting to that terrible time in 1577 when Black Shuck - that devilish hound - burst into the church and killed two of the congregation and maimed a third before scampering away to Blythburgh. What other evils did he spawn, I wonder, that there are today 70 worshippers here! Or, perhaps they tired of putting Jedii under 'religion' on the census form and decided on something else for a change.
I wonder how many of the self proclaimed Satan worshippers in Bungay might be members of a business association who've found a way to bring more tourists/customers to the town @didyw?🤔... 🤣🤣🤣
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Afternoon all, not much to report as still feeling poorly. I spent most of the night coughing my guts out in the guest bedroom where I had decamped to at 1 am.
Decided not to inflict my germs on relatives at OH's nephew's funeral today so OH has gone on his own.
I did manage to wash another curtain and hang it outside to dry this morning - when it promptly rained. I've left it out anyway.
Actually the sun has just made an appearance so I'll go and get some fresh air - I need to plant a new rose which has begun sprouting.
I didn't but I should have@Dovefromabove, far colder out than it looked so a very hasty hole was dug, prepped and rose planted. Nice to be outside in the sunshine though, I do hate being confined to the house for long. One more job crossed off the list.
I also managed to get the curtain mainly dry apart from the velvet border but bought it in early as it looked like rain again.
Hope you got what you wanted by way of goodies from the farm shop.
Your week sounds hectic @D0rdogne_Damsel - as usual. Much nicer to meet friends at joyful events rather than funerals which is what we're doing this week.
That's strange @didyw, why your town in particular? Did you stir them all up with your Black Dog Festival last year?!!
I find funerals can be joyful affairs too, in a way, with far reaches of the family who don't normally see each other able to meet again to share memories and catch up.
Hope everyone's newly-planted roses bloom beautifully this year!
It may be something to do with the Black Dog of Bungay legend @Busy-Lizzie. The Festival was a year after we all filled in our Census forms.
I've been doodling - our bus. assoc. sec. thinks we need to update our logo, so I've been having a play. But got to the point where the word 'association' just looks wrong!

So now the local paper has a story about the nationals featuring Bungay!
