I went to bed at 9.30 last night, quick power nap, up at 10.30 back to bed at 3am. I made a load of little envelopes for seeds, sorted ones to post, planned the day, cutting the grass along the road verge and pruning the laurel hedge. Will post a pic when its tidy.
Mums bad again, different problem, why oh why will she not tell me until its almost major surgery time.
I just went in to see her, woke her up as shes been just sitting in the chair for night times, she gave me a black look and wouldnt talk to me.
Poor dad, trying to over compensate chatted on and that got her a
nnoyed, the joys of aged 'p's.!
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
It's definitely a round squash of some sort - probably a Crown Prince possibly crossed with something else - loads and loads of flowers of both sexes, but no fruit has set. Never mind, it's absolutely beautiful
My new splint has arrived, courtesy of my daughter - her stepmother works for an orthotics company, and armed with the appropriate measurements she's sent me a smart black splint that is comfortable, much more supportive, and yet lets me use my fingers without flexing my wrist - wonderful And even better, it doesn't smell as if it's been worn for a week on a sweaty arm
The old one is in the wash as I type
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Off to choose grasses etc for stumps tomorrow, so thanks for all the advice and support. Going to Knoll nursery so will be spoilt for choice. The owner has 10 Chelsea golds for his grasses!

Hi Dove, hope the pain is easing. xx
(No smilies or cake photos available on phone, so old fashioned punctuation will have to do)
The new splint is certainly helping - thanks Lily
