Good morning SGL and Debs. SGL you weren't there earlier when I posted but I too had a rubbish night's sleep. I woke up about 01:30 and read for ages until I dropped off at about 3 ish.
Debs, I hope the woodpecker visits. I had one a few months back which was the first trime I had seen one in the 40 years I have lived here. Not seen him/her since.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Good morning everyone .Lily sorry to read that you had a bad night .Try to put your feet up at some point today .Debs I hope you have a good day at work.Your sister is lucky to have such a lovely bird visiting .Not surprised you want it to visit your garden.LB ,lovely pics I too love purple plants .BigLad I hope Saturday is a dry day for your golf .
another fine day forecast for today, just a tad cooler, but just right for me. My back feels a lot easier this morning, but still a bit niggly, so no gardening and definitely no dragging pots about 😅. OH did the front hedge yesterday (this wet, warmish weather just encourages it to grow). I usually help by clipping the lower parts and raking up all the off cuts, but couldn’t with my back being so painful. Felt guilty as anything, just sitting, but hey ho, I’d have been as useful as a chocolate teapot. (I did cary round the rake and brush, though 😁).
Yes, today will feel like a Saturday after GW being on last night. I won’t give anything away, but I enjoyed it and think it’s worth a watch on catch up if you missed it.
Whatever your plans for today, I hope it’s a good one and 🤞@Debs64 that your customers are pleasant this afternoon.
Thank you @Rubee really thought I'd sleep better last night after cutting the grass yesterday. My eyes feel like they are halfway down my face. We used to have a woodpecker, but haven't seen him/her for awhile. Have a good day everyone. Forecast for today has changed, its supposed to rain this afternoon now.
@Ladybird4 he is a daily visitor at my sisters, she is using loads of those suet blocks with added insects he loves them. I do have my little family of long tailed tits though and they are my favourites.
Morning everyone. It's very warm here but there are high and gusty winds knocking some pots over. Grass is growing again at an alarming rate but no time to day to cut it as we have a busy day scheduled. Hope everyone has a good day.
Oh dear Rosie, take it easy if you're feeling dizzy. Anything to do with this sudden burst of sunny and warm weather? Stress? Look after yourself. OH is feeling a little better and easier in his back thank you.
Good afternoon all. What a day I have had! Inspired by what I saw on GW, I continued with removing the flag irises from my pond. I took a tight grip on the leaves and tugged hard. The huge root ball started to slowly move, so encouraged, I tugged harder. All of a sudden, leaves and stems detached themselves from the roots and I was catapulted backward and landed on my bum in the border! Getting upright again was most inelegant and I was pleased no one had actually viewed my catastrophe. I retired from that task for another day. I will not be beaten!
Rosie, I really hope that the dizziness has passed and you have taken any opportunity to rest today.
Hazel, good to hear your OH is feeling a little better.
Red maple, I wonder just how long you could let your OH carry on doing lots of work in the garden with your 'poorly back'! (only kidding!)
