Good morning allĀ āļøĀ We had a quiet night and now itās a bright sunny morning here in norfolk. Ā I need to get a move on as the car has to go to the garage for an MOT and service.Ā
I know I seem to have been AWOL again, but I am managing to keep up with you all, just no time to post.
Glad to hear about recoveries @Busy-Lizzie and @Dovefromabove but shame about your holiday @punkdoc and your arthritis @Yviestevie. My fingers are becoming more and more deformed and I fear I have that to face in the future too.Ā
Nice to hear people are getting out and about in the garden more, I am just frustrated I am not going to be in the new house this spring, more red tape to deal with, not on my side luckily, but still a delay. The owner is paying someone to mow the grass so I am hoping it won't get too wild.Ā
I am staying at Charlie's dad's house whilst they are away, cat sitting. I have pottered a bit in his garden, but find it very difficult, it was my garden and as you know I spent hours there, but he does nothing but chop trees and bushes down and the poor flower beds are so neglected. A little bit of weeding would make all the difference. He's cut all the hydrangeas down to about six inches, chopped a beautiful Indian Bean Tree down, a lovely holly tree near the entrance too, I've no idea why, it must be a macho man thing going around with his chain saw. Very sad.Ā
Anyway, I mustn't fester, hopefully I will have my own garden again soon. I do look after the garden at Chateau de Gateaux too, although that is a lot of low maintenance stuff for practical reasons. A little place of my own is going to be so welcome.Ā
Sunny and bright here, but a cold wind. Paperwork day for me in the main, although I have to cover 12 till 2 pm in the restaurant as one waitress is off on holiday. I feel I am getting to grips with paperwork at the moment, even managed to switch Gas, Electricity and Telephone to a better supplier this week. Still not my favourite chore, give meĀ a cake to bake any day.Ā
Good day to all, happy gardening.

No sign of the promised sunshine here. Glad you are getting help, @Hostafan1 @Busy-Lizzie, I think you should still see a Dr., diverticulitis can become serious.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Hope the red tape gets cleared up soon @D0rdogne_Damsel - you must be itching to get in there.
My back has been giving me gip for a few months - after a weeding incident last November that never really recovered. Ā Went to an osteopath yesterday, who tied me in knots and made something āpopā - and I feel better this morning than I have in weeks. Ā š¤š» it lasts, as I have a mulch mountain in the driveway that needs moving very soon.
Dementia centre this afternoon and then new tyres for my car ā¦..fun fun fun š„³
I have made an appointment to see my GP in France when I get back @punkdoc. If there are investigations of any sort they will be done quickly there and colonoscopies are done under general anaesthetic. I'm a lot better now though still a slightly tender spot on lower left.
Friends have invited us to lunch today so I must get on with some gardening this morning. It's sunny, has been for the last few days, but rain is coming from Thursday. I have lost gardening time through being unwell.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I'm thinking out loud, ( and daydreaming) .... I've been loving seeing so many tulips in bloom, I'm planning on lots of containers around my front door, can't decide between a regulated en masse group of all red ones or a whole range of orange/peach and yellow ones.... I know I'm ahead of myself but thoughts please, I've seen both and they're all gorgeous.

Another busy day, but happy to be partaking of an apĆ©ro now.Ā
The idea of being able to do this in my own home whenever I choose is tantalising..... Never has my patience been tried so much.Ā
