Hi all Very wet here so no walk today, will just make do with my indoor exercises. Starting to become irritated by my surgical stockings, can’t wait till it is time to take them off.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
OH hated his surgical stockings too @punkdoc. He rang the hospital and they told him he didn't need to wear them for the 6 weeks he'd been told so we took them off.
There was a storm in the night and now it's tipping with rain so I didn't need to water the Jewel bed after I'd weeded it yesterday.
I hope your kitchen is fly free this morning @coccinella. We find spiders when we get back and dead ants in the bath.
OH is going back to Norfolk on Thursday. I wish he wasn't, dratted Brexit allowance.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
It’ll be wonderful when you take them off @punkdoc … like the bliss of removing our Playtex roll-ons in the 60s. You’ll be able to have a very enjoyable scratch 🤣
We’ve had rain here too, but it’s stopped for the moment … it was a lovely day yesterday and OH cut some of the grass at the back while I washed bedding as it was bright and dry with a lovely breeze and today’s forecast didn’t bode well for laundry.
Believe it or not my son spent yesterday driving a combine for a farmer friend who was desperately trying to beat the weather and get his harvest in and who had already done 36 hours non-stop himself … Hopefully today he’ll have a quiet-ish day at work as he has to leave here at 7am tomorrow for a 10am appointment with his consultant at Broomfield. It’ll be the first time he’s seen him while conscious… son that is 😉

Morning all, just finished watering some pots before it gets too hot then i have Rattatouille to make. I was also wondering about @chicky , was she going to meet up with one of her daughters who was travelling, but that may have been a while ago? I have one of those plug-in things in the bedroom at night to repel mozzies, seems to work, it's during the day I get bitten by smaller midges etc. Surgical stockings @punkdoc are awful aren't they? I found that by the evening they were so hot I had to take them off even though it was winter.
Today started very early indeed 🤯 so I stopped it, sorted the minstrel out and went back to bed! It's never quite the same but at least I slept.
On our second go at morning it seems we are out of mushy cat food. Well that's not good judging by the looks I'm getting and it's clearly my fault...as if I didn't know. There's a triad following me and I'm feeling guilty/intimidated. I've never had cats before and we've certainly never run out of any kind of pet food; apparently crunchy bits are NOT breakfast. Who knew!?!? 🙁
Raining here. I believed Accuweather and hung the wash outside, so while I was in Auchan it got soaked. Hey ho I will have to use the hairdryer on OH's undies. He's ran out of clean ones 🤭🤭
We used to holiday in the Greek islands and I swear that the mozzies liked to compete with each other to see who could raise the most likeness to the particular island we were on on my skin.
Oh the joys of Brexit eh @Busy-Lizzie? Who knew just how damaging it would be to our quality of life? (answer - anyone sane).
Enjoyable evening last night at the home of some friends (I call them local royalty) with the most amazing garden. They are on really good soil, with a tributary of the river running along the bottom and their dahlias were soooo lush! I had been enjoying mine, but being on sand they are nowhere near as big and blossomy as our friends'. Massive dahlia envy!
@Busy-Lizzie thank you very much for the welcome! yes it could possibly be the lotions and potions! I know people that swear by essential oils for keeping the mozzies away! And oh how lovely that you were both able to find love after such devastating losses, do you see eachother often?

It's not raining so that's good. 😊

Glad you enjoyed your trip @coccinella.
Hope Edinburgh is a blast for you @Allotment Boy.
