Cricket is bizarre in some respects, the laws are complex, but more important than the laws is the “ spirit of the game” and many thought that was not adhered to yesterday.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
I'm afraid I got lost in cricket when they started wearing coloured gear! My Dad would not have approved of that.
Sorry to hear about you being down in the dumps and unable to garden as much as you wish to. But good that you can sit and enjoy it - and the wildlife. I just feel guilty when I look at my garden as there is so much to do and I'm just not doing it. Too hot, too wet, too windy, back gone again...
Don't know what happened this time, just noticed it when I got out of the car after dropping my daughter off after Clay Club. But looking forward to next week - my avocet will have been fired after I glazed it on Sunday (black and white - didn't take too long). I say avocet. Its a lump of clay tapered one end, rounded a bit at the other, with holes here and there for the wire legs and beak I'll be gluing in.
Hope @D0rdogne_Damsel is OK - we haven't heard from her for a while.
Right - now to sort the kitchen - ants marching marching towards the cupboard we keep the bin in. How are they getting in? Why are they still coming, even though the bin has been emptied and the cupboard cleaned?
Thanks Dove - ordered! Cupboard and bin cleaned again (more thoroughly this time because I did it, not OH!), floor scrubbed and mopped, tiny hole sprayed with white vinegar (because I don't like the smell I assumed they wouldn't either). Still a few brave scouting ants have appeared. They have been squished. Poor souls.
Afternoon folks, we're safely in Rye after a long 7 hour journey yesterday - had to keep stopping so that I could uncrick myself and walk about. Sightseeing in Rye today, very hilly so now exhausted and resting in hotel. Having problems with their WiFi on laptop so might not post often. Hope all OK.
I hope you enjoy Rye and the weather is kind @Lizzie27.
What a change this last weekend with the weekend before when it was so hot! I've been wearing a long sleeved top with a T shirt underneath and a fleece on top.
Very windy today. I was ironing quietly, watching Escape to the Country, when there was a loud rushing noise, heavy rain. Still raining but not as fiercely.
I hope it's fine on Wednesday for the Hampton Court Flower Show.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
OH also mentioned cricket to me at lunchtime, if he had asked a question in Chinese I might have answered. Haven't got the foggiest. Also tennis on TV we are going to have to weeks solid of it, but I don't mind as FIL loves it at least it is something pleasurable for him. We still haven't solved his situation, it is so sad to think of him as he is now. Life is a wheel that keeps turning and we will be next. I have downloaded a whole 40 pages of the law regarding euthanasia (legal here), it needs a lot of planning, it needs the consent of two doctors and ideally has to be done now and filed somewhere. No use when you already got dementia. But I keep finding something else to do 😂
Nuff of that. I have been busy with the garden in the mornings (the time when the mites are still asleep) got a big pile of cuttings ready outside for the garden men to collect and thinking about what to do in the autumn to make it less work. I am also thinking of getting a garden cupboard to keep tools in to save my knees: the garden isn't level with the house, so stairs to go up to the house and stairs to go down to the garage to forever get the one thing I forgot. Where to put it though?

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
