Feet are up, but encased in inflatable ‘leg warmers’! Sounds like someone is trying to take my blood pressure every couple of minutes! Still, if it helps to prevent the DVTs, I mustn’t grumble! Luckily I have downloaded some books on my iPad in case I can’t sleep. Have been asked to confirm my name and date of birth so many times today, that I nearly got it wrong on the last occasion. Remembered it in time, so did get my paracetamol tablets after all!
I've had a gardening day. Planted 12 perennials and did some flower bed weeding this morning. This afternoon I made a start in the vegetable garden. It's covered in weeds. I hooe my knee doesn't complain tomorrow.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Glad to hear all is good @Ergates, I also downloaded books before i went into hospital, the days are very long! We dug up the garlic today, very disappointing crop as the cloves haven't even grown, they look more like leeks. Probably down to the mild and dry winter.
Quiet bank holiday weekend for us, while most of you seem to have been very busy. Glad those who chose to watch the coronation enjoyed it, we certainly did.
Pleased that things have gone well for you @Ergates, time for R and R now I think.
Good morning, early birds! Or late at night in my case. Maybe managed a couple of hours sleep, so not feeling great. Nurse brought me a peppermint tea at 3am, but still awake to watch the dawn. Lovely red sky, and sure enough, it’s now raining. Possibility of a thunderstorm at midday.
Morning all. Spent a lovely three days away and popped into the garden this morning to find the slugs also had a fantastic long weekend, apparently they also organised a picnic in celebration of the coronation! The lupins are my biggest concern, I think I'm going to need a better location for them!

Cheers @Ergates, glad it all went so well. Now a bit of R & R awaits!
I'm glad it well well @Ergates. Sigh of relief!

@Ergates, OH had to wear those after his hip op, but had trouble sleeping so the nurse took them off for a few hours. Hope you're okay.

Have a good week everyone.
