Everything a bit up in the air here. Need to organise my pre-assessment, and then there is the Drs. strike the day of my planned surgery, am getting very twitchy.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Well done @Nanny Beach for getting all that gardening done in your nightshirt!
I daren't even look on the Gallery of Shame - as practically my whole garden could go on there at the moment. The nettles along the back fence are looking magnificent. Managed to get those that had marched into the adjacent border out the other day and only got stung a little bit.
It all kicked off yesterday over the new town signs. A friend photoshopped an image of the Black Shuck (local legendary tale we now celebrate each year with the Black Shuck Festival) onto the new sign and I posted it on FB, innocently asking - is this an improvement? So many comments! (Only two people liked the original post from the town council showing the new signs - one of whom was the designer!). Then I got a snotty email from the councillor responsible for them saying that she thought my post was in poor taste. Small town politics!
@didyw some of the alumni on the GoS have the most fabulous gardens on here. It was designed to show that we are all (maybe 1 or 2 exceptions) in the same boat as far as mucky corners go. It is brilliant. Half exploded bags of compost, sheds which look immaculate...until the door is opened, luscious planting schemes which, when admired, were described as a 'had been' pond! Well worth a visit.
Hello all Good to see so many of you tackling garden jobs. Unfortunately in the last couple of days I have been occupied with clothes searching for my son's wedding. The least enjoyable activity I can think of and exhausting! especially when some stick their ore in with "you shouldn't do this and you should do that" grrrr. Anyway I stuck to my guns and got what I am comfortable with. OH also sorted. He also had the first shingles jab yesterday, feverish overnight but better now.
Hello everyone. We’re not quite so cold this morning - only 18c on the veranda in the morning sun, but 11c here inside. I had a good laugh Didy at your post.
Our Council is planning to increase our rates by 52% this time 😳. I can’t think of an appropriate comment that is allowed on here. Perhaps they could offer to take a pay cut. 😂. Yeah, that’s likely.
Ps. Hosta, lovely Dahlias, even though a but puzzling with the colours. Perhaps you should cut off that branch with the pink one and plant it separately.
Lucky you, Dove. Not a cloud to be seen here. 😒. Cold nose again. Grrr.
I had a nice conversation with my sister today for her 88th birthday. She’s had visits from various friends who came bearing gifts of lovely morning tea treats. 😜
