We had thought about going to the coast today as OH will probably be passed fit for work next week after he sees the consultant on Tuesday … but it’s tipping it down … 🙄
Hope the poorly ones got some rest last night … it seems there’s a lot of mishaps about … a friend on the cookery forum fell down so and broke her shoulder blade yesterday … she’ll not have had a very comfy night 😒
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Slowly making progress, just need to remember to take it slowly, and to obey orders, neither have ever been my strong points. Pain is ok. @Tui, as long as I take the pills regularly.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Morning all, set to be a hot day before storms set in this evening, I have some tall zinnias that need canes otherwise they will be no more. My hip is good most of the time @tui34, but It's still hard work going upstairs, still getting aches early mornings when lying down, strange eh? But then I do have bad Osteoarthritis at the base of the spine, oh to be pre 27! It's good @punkdoc when you start moving around more and you realise that you hadn't needed a painkiller!
The wedder is saying hardly any rain. Now, does that mean some now and again or a whole lot all at once er wha? I have both indoor and outdoor jobs lined up so I'll go outside and just leave the doors open. The rain comes hard and fast here and you could easily pull a hammy legging it to safety.
I went into the kitchen and mother was 'waiting for her toast'. She'd have been waiting a while. Toast AFAIK requires a combo of bread and a heating device. I sorted her out with both. She's a keen cook and champion baker so the kitchen has always been her stomping ground. She gets very ratty indeed if I chase her out of mine. (I get even more worser ratty if she stays in it!). For a small person she takes up a terrible lot of room! I'm trying to let her keep some independence and some days are better than others but... 😒
Bad connections in Northern France so couldn't read too far back. I hope that pudding cheered you up a little @Lizzie27. And Happy belated birthday 🎂. Hope you get better soon.
We are in London now with son number 2 who is cooking us lunch! Then off to Cambridge for the festval's start.
Happy Birthday, @Lizzie27. Hopefully you will be able to enjoy the family visiting at the weekend, despite all the aches and pains. Took a walk by the river this morning, through the public park in our local seaside town. One section of the walk was dominated by the most delightful fragrance, but just couldn’t work out where it was coming from. Noticed a dog walker climbing up the bank to take a closer look at an enormous tree, and she confirmed that the scent was coming from the bunches of small yellow flowers. I brought home a sprig from a broken branch to identify, and it turns out it is a linden tree, no idea what variety. Just amazing, I want one now! Pretty huge, but I suspect I could plant a small one in our woodland, it could become a future replacement when some of our silver birches reach the end of their life span.
Linden Tree is a Tilleul Tree in French and very sought after for tisane in the winter. Lots of good things to keep you healthy. See it sold at the market place along with Verbena.
Swept lots today. Most is clean and tidy but I am doubled up!!
