Evening all, taking it easy again today as I still feel rubbish. Enjoyed a visit from a friend this morning for coffee and cake but had to sit indoors as everywhere in the garden is covered with a sticky mess, it's really horrible to touch. We're hoping for rain to wash it all off but not sure it will happen. My roses are looking magnificent today but the heat is making some go over quickly. It hit 29.6c here yesterday at 5.30 pm, not quite so hot today thankfully as it's overcast.
Smashing news about Rob @Dovefromabove, he's doing so well.
Our waterbutts (all 9 of them!) are nearly empty so I've been using the hosepipe (metered water) which is also easier for me at the moment. Do hope we get rain soon, it's now over a month since it last rained.
Hope DD is enjoying her visit to Paris. My friend had a birthday treat recently of tea at the Ritz with her DIL and had a grand time, she thoroughly enjoyed it, the staff were so kind and helpful. They followed that with an open bus tour of London, a boat ride back to Westminster, dinner in a little Italian and then caught the train back from Paddington, very tired but very happy!
Lovely news @Dovefromabove from me, an infrequent poster, cheered up by the progress made by your lovely son. Much, as said by others, is down to you and your wonderful family. xxx
Evening all, Ive had a busy few days looking after the boys and doing bits of gardening. Wrist still painful but the splint does help. We have lots of rain this evening after a very hot day so I'm sure the garden will appreciate it. Sorry its a short post but typing is still proving to be awkward. Hope everyone is OK
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ keep snuggly warm @Pat E … it’s warm here at last … just a thin cotton cover on the bed last night … the duvet is rolled up on a chair.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Just come back from my citizen's duty (local election in Lux) and now sitting on the balcony with coffee. Later we will go walking g with friends and then lunch at a campsite restaurant. Hope the wrist will be fine by the time you go on holiday @Yviestevie Our mirabelles tree spits a sticky substance at this time of year which covers all underneath. I don't know what it is. Very hot again today. Have a good Sunday all.
My sister's lunch until evening party went very well. There were friends and family of all ages. My sister is very sociable, God knows what would have happened if it had rained! It was hot and sunny so all those who could stand the heat were outside. There were two tent gazebo things and a big umbrella for shade. She'd made an enormous amount of veggie food, 2 huge pavlovas and the biggest cream and strawberry filled Victoria sponge cake that I've ever seen! Other people brought desserts too. I knew a lot of them especially cousins, nieces and nephews, also a couple of her horse riding friends and old school friends. I hadn't seen the school friends since we were in our teens. We have all grown older and fatter but I still recognised them!
I think we are going out today with OH's family, don't know where yet.
Great news about your son @Dovefromabove. I hope your OH is recovering well.
