    Had a fabulous time at the theatre image although the leg room left an awful lot to be desired image Can still feel the dent in my leg from the seat in front image 

    Hoping the weather is lovely tomorrow as my sister is coming to see how the garden is coming along (she last saw it early days) and then a friend coming for lunch image

    Evening all. I've been out all day, an annual meeting with lunch then went to see son as his baby son has started crawling.image More like a caterpillar really! Cute.

    Out tomorrow too, going to OH's Choir's lunch party.

    My agastache, Blue Boa and Black Adder were bought in pots last autumn. They looked fine. I re-potted them and put them in a cold frame for winter. Black Adder is growing, but nothing is happening in Blue Boa's pot.

    bit of an incident this afternoon with the new mower. Let's just say , naked flames were involved. image

    OMG Hosta - has it gone kaput? image Hope you are safe and well image

    Panda  , only the second time I've used it. I reckon something very dry got caught up under the engine, heated up then caught fire.

    I switched the engine off but couldn't reach it to poke it out.

    Bit of a panic moment , then stuffed some long green grass into the space to smother it. Not before burning a hole through my gloves and burning 2 knuckles.

    No damage to mower thankfully.

    Goodness Hosta, glad you've escaped relatively unscathed.  Burnt knuckles are painful though it's better than being blown upimage. Surely that shouldn't happenimage.

    Glad you enjoyed Cats Panda.  I loved it when we went many years agoimage

    Back to normal then Yvie. I bet you've missed them though and you'll love all the photosimage

    Liri the model railway scenery sounds great.  I always wanted the boys to get interested so I could have a go at making little houses and trees but never really had the space to devote to it.

    Lily I thought you had George 4 days and me 3image  Wondered where he'd got toimage

    Lesley ,to be fair, the grass hasn't been mown in 2 years, we've had sheep in the last couple of years,  I think it was the dead stem of a thistle, which the sheep ignored. so very dry . Hey ho, be more vigilant next time.

    I did have visions of watching £3.5K mower going up in flames.

    Lesley, we haven't really got room for OH's railway.  It's in the spare bedroom... or rather, the spare bed is in the railway room since the railway has spread more than a little!  image  Making little models will probably have to wait until next winter, unless we have a particularly wet summer - garden takes precedence imo image

    Yvie, snap!  Son and DIL spent an evening showing us their Californian photos - lots of San Francisco, which looks amazing, and even more of Yosemite, where they stayed in a cabin.  Too chicken for a tent!  (Well, to be fair, they went with friends who had a year-old baby, so they decided they needed a little more comfort.)  I liked the giant redwood trees.  image

    OH has hurt his back and is hobbling round like a 90-year-old.  image  Must make him some drinking chocolate...

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
