My sympathy @AnnaB đ€ 19 is a very good age. My sonâs ginger housecat reached 19 before it was apparent that he was no longer enjoying life. I took him to the vet for my son ⊠Doorak was a huge part of his life after his marriage ended ⊠they were âbest matesâ ⊠a couple of lads together.Â

I am sorry about your cat @AnnaB. Ours was 18 but he was deaf so a car got him in the end.Â
@tui34@Busy-Lizzie cranes fly over here before they come your way. I will notify you đ It's been very warm and I know that some are no longer flying all the way south. They stop around Lac Madine.
 Very sorry to read about your cat AnnaB.  We really love our sonâs cat, Pixel. She sleeps between us. Thereâs no way he is getting her back. Luckily, his job takes him away so he canât look after her. đ
So sorry, @AnnaB. Spent nearly four hours in the garden yesterday! Had a lovely time, clearing a bed for some hydrangeas. They have been languishing in pots for far too long, so they are finally going in the ground. Probably not the right time of the year, but I suspect if we were restricted to the âright time of the yearâ, we would need a team of fifty for a few weeks, and not much help for the rest. Also uprooted a veritable forest of mini trees which had sneakily been hiding behind the brambles. The green bins are well on the way to being filled with a week to go. Day off from gardening today. Car is having its service tomorrow so I will leave OH to empty and vacuum the inside, I might run a damp cloth over the outside. It had a good clean before the MOT two weeks ago, so is looking fairly tidy. Flu jabs on Saturday, had no ill effects from the Covid jabs. At least five friends / relatives who havenât got round to their jabs yet, have reported coming down with bad cold / flu symptoms and feeling rough, so there seem to be plenty of bugs around. Hope @D0rdogne_Damsel is having a lovely relaxing holiday, and everyone else is doing ok.
Good afternoon, well I've finished stripping out the shed ready for its move to the main plot and emptied one compost bin. I spread the compost round the fruit trees. I feel bad moaning about the weather, the dry is very useful and I do like the sun , but this heat and in particular humidity isn't making the job any easier. Collapsed in a chair after late lunch now.
Flying visit, busy enjoying my holiday. Absolutely fabulous place and being spoiled rotten by wonderful staff. Sun, sea, spas and swimming, all good.Â
Sorry to hear about your cat @AnnaB, I've been very pleased to hear from a neighbour mine are using the newly installed cat flap ok. They were my biggest stress before leaving, so I absolutely understand the attachment we form to these creatures. 19 is a good age, but also a long time to have a pet around and used to just being there.Â
Pictures attached of our sunny spot, see you all soon. đ

So sorry about your beloved cat @AnnaB, it's a huge wrench to lose a dear pet you've had so long and it will take time to come to terms with your loss. We lost ours 13 years ago but have never felt able to take on another cat since.
We've had quite a busy day, firstly seeing a solicitor about revising our Wills prompted by my recent health scare. A lot to think about how we actually want to do it so we're going to take our time but it was really good to have the solicitor's advice on how we might proceed.
Back home, as the sun came out after a very foggy morning, we both gardened, OH trimmed the top of the front hedge and mowed the back lawn while I dug up with some difficulty, a large winter flowering heather and a line of purple/silver heucheras in a side bed near where we park the car. All the plants were overhanging the kerbstone on the drive where the new tarmac is going to be laid soon - we hope I thought it best to keep them out of the way of diggers and builder's clumsy feet!
I am so envious @D0rdogne_Damsel, they look absolutely magical pictures of a perfect holiday location. Hope you continue to have a lovely time.
You'll be glad you've reduced your allotment workload @Allotment Boy next spring!

I've had diarrhoea for 10 days now and I'm VERY bored with it.Â
On a plus note. I've lost 5 lbs in a week
