Im back from the dentist via a detour around John Lewis to get new pillows for son, the Two Magpies bakery for baguettes and almond ‘biscotti’ cookies, and then W’rose for milk, fruit, charcuterie and salad stuff (hummus, a fruity slaw, a huge beefsteak tomato and some endive). That’ll pad out the leftover cold chicken for supper … I’ve got some local new potatoes so I’ll cook them when I’ve had a coffee and we can have them cold with mayo and chopped mint.
Just popped by to say hello. Am in pain as I overdid it in the garden on Saturday without realising it - all that stretching, and then stretching just a little bit more to get that nettle... But that bed is weeded now, even though I can hardly bend at the moment. Managed clay club yesterday, and watering the tubs I am responsible for in town, but in between - much groaning and ouching as I gingerly move from one position to another.
And I had a massive lie in this morning - turns out our bookclub is tonight, not next week and I was only halfway through the book. So I took a cup of tea to bed, found a comfy position and finished it this morning.
Quite honestly, I feel like going back to bed now, but hopefully a shower will sort me out as I have another meeting this afternoon as well.
Hello all, usual weather here, starts off sunny and hot bringing on thunderstorms in the evening. Been deadheading the roses that the rain has ruined - just brown balls left. Sadly most of them are ones that you can't just remove the outer petals without the whole flower falling apart. @didyw have you tried the tennis ball massage after gardening? Stand with back to wall and put the tennis ball in between where you are hurting and the wall and massage well! It does help especially on lower and upper back. Works on sciatic pain over bum as well. OH is picking cherries so I need to find the cherry recipes!

I’ll pass that on to @WonkyWomble … she suffers with sciatic PITB.

Brrr. Good morning everyone. My fingers are too cold to knit this morning.🤬
I’m sitting in a tight ball with gloves on my hands and arms, and a rug over my knees. Watching the weather channel as usual and seeing floods in Paris, tornadoes and fires in Canada, people racing to getaway from bad weather in India, etc, etc. 😳. What’s the world coming to.
We are cooler down here than the north of France. The northern regions are getting such high temperatures. May all your tomatoes produce lots of fruit!!
@floralies Good tennis ball massage idea. It can also be done lying on your back on the floor @Dovefromabove and @didyw The big Swiss balll is also great for a lower back massage - if anyone has one, I'll tell you now to do it. Very appeasing.
Thunder and lightning here - no rain - although some is forecast for today. This humid weather is affecting hip and knee joints and is TBH - tiresomely painful!!
Good morning all. A misty start, but forecast to hit 26C later. Just lovely. I have to sort the house out as my elder daughter and family arrive tomorrow for a few days. I've arranged for 3 year old grandson to visit my farm neighbours, see their animals and get to sit in a real live tractor.

Nice views @Hostafan1 and @Allotment Boy.

its 15C here at the moment, heading for a high of 24ish apparently. That’ll do.
