    Hello again folks - Wonky's here image

    She brought lunch with her, lovely bread rolls with salad and prawns and chicken and a yummy sauce to dribble down our chins.  She's also brought strawberries to have with our cream tea later - form an orderly queue folks! 

    Yvie, you can have extra strawberries 'cos you need the extra Vit C.  Don't forget that Pimms is a Health Drink image

    Hosta - hope you're remembering that you're a Role Model! imageimage

    Now Wonky and I are having a flollop to recover from our lunch before play8ng in the garden.  With any luck we might get some blue sky soon ............

    Hello

    Lovely day here - warm but cloudy- but lovely (hope that makes sense)

    Great Cream tea - yummy!

    We went doggy shopping this morning, nothing too luxurious and expensive yet as for all we know she may tear the bed OR not like it. Still she now has food bowl, shampoo, brush and those teeth cleaner chews. Did want a mattress as well but will have to wait till I visit a market somewhere

    Trying to get enthusiastic about going outside and finishing the front garden borders - what is the matter with me image

    Well, that's me done for town image Eyes have been tested, turns out I have a lazy left eye image Nothing to be done now (unless I'm under 7) image My right eye is jolly good and does it's best to make up for the lazy one but gets tired image at night. Upshot is new specs, one pair for reading, one for telly watching. Readers are reactalights so I can read outside image Collection is next Friday image

    Then popped to the SM for Fathers Day food shopping as Pa Panda is coming round for Sunday lunch. Thought we'd have Snake and Pigmy pud and Strawb pavlova image

    1Runnybeak1 and WonkyWomble the strawberries are a great bargain were £6 each then down to £3 then a £1 each when I saw them and got and not bad condition plants

    Thanks WonkyWomble for liking the video

    LesleyK the allotment is ok lots of digging been going on trying to make a temp trial bed for left over veg and flowers, the way the digging has been going is more like whacking the soil - digging down I could of been making a pond, a good spade and a bit   

    Got given left over cabbage plants from my neighbour that got planted and my potatoes are growing nicely   

    Planted up my 2 other hanging baskets yesterday in the garden

    Is it cake time now?

    Afternoon all.  image

    Feeling a bit flat here.  Got yet more i.....ng to do image cos OH has to wear white shirts for his railway uniform - loads of scrubbing to get smuts off, then loads of i....ng afterwards.  Too cold and windy to be in the garden anyway.

    Anyone got any experience of cataracts?  Just found out I have them.  No need for immediate surgery but it's a bit of a shock, considering I'm only 27...  image  At least it explains why I can only sew when the light is really good, and why I feel disorientated at night (and no, it's not a result of the falling-down water!).

    If you've any strawb pavlova left over, Panda, don't throw it away image

    Yvie, hope you feel better soon.  An afternoon snooze should help - so I'm typing very quietly here...

    Have a lovely time in the garden, Dove and WonkyWomble!  image

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

    That's a blow Liri image I think they are fixable? Will make sure I save you some pavlova on Sunday image

    I know people who have had their cataracts operated on and say it's brilliant.

    Hope your cold hurries up and gets better Yvie. How horrid of it to come in summer.

    Done lots of dead heading.

    We've been eating lots of raspberries, really good crop this year.
