Was caught in a ridiculously heavy thundery rain downpour coming out of the SM. Waiting for the clouds to blow away now as my uniforms need to go on the line.
@punkdoc - my patients tell me that the essentials for hospital are: Your own pillow/case, headphones, baby wipes, assorted snacks and drinks, plus - if it’s hot - one if those mini fans and visitors to bring a flask of ice.
To return to an earlier topic, there is a lot lower risk of flying ants 🐜 here now. We had a magical 20-30 mins this morning. A green woodpecker was on the path edge where the grass meets the path. Hoovering up ants, oblivious to us looking down from the back bedroom window, then even better it was joined by another one. Normally when we do see them they only stay a minute or less. Sorry picture with phone is not good, I have some great shots with my proper camera tho. You need to zoom in just past the sculpture.
Thank you so much, @tui34. I am still up having been round to friends, so a glass of rose would end the evening very well. I shall reciprocate with something suitable tomorrow.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Morning everyone. Cool, sunny, and NOT windy this morning. 👌 who can keep up with weather predictions! The rotten wind was predicted for several days. Der!
Thinking of you, Punkdoc in your short pyjamas. 😂 Best wishes to all.
Oops, I spoke too soon. My Pinus pinea is thrashing around. I use my view of that tree to gauge the wind strength, because it doesn’t move as easily as the Eucalyptus trees. That pine is moving quite vigorously. Might find fresh pine cones on the ground to collect when I next venture out. Trouble is that usually the cockatoos get them first.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ A hot sticky night here in Norfolk.
My app says it’s 12C and you’ve got 16mph winds @Pat E … that doesn’t sound as bad as you’ve got. Here it’s 18C and sunny … but we’ve got a 70% likelihood of rain later. I might get away without watering today … everything had a thorough soaking yesterday.
Glad you had a nice evening with friends @punkdoc 😊

Lovely day but too hot in the sun for gardening. So I'll just enjoy the view!!
Keep warm @Pat E and stay safe.
Whoops forgot to send.
