Clouding over here now - hopefully our water butts are going to get filled too, although the farmer delivering veg to the farm shop said it'll all be 'rained out' before it gets to us.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
SusanP I'm glad you liked the finches - there are so quick that it's a miracle that we got even that photo. They move in a fairly large flock - can't guess how many - well maybe 20, but I always hear them before I see them. I spotted them nesting in a shrub one year which worried me because there is the occasional stray cat around and I'd rather they were high up in a tree. anyway, they seem to survive OK.
we look like getting rain or sleet this weekend. I'm getting fed up with not being able to get out and do things that I want to in the garden.
Just started raining here - but not really 'wet' rain, just those big drops well spaced out - but it sounds great on the terrace
I've fed the pots (toms, chillies, tubs) and the courgettes in the raised beds. Think we'll have a meal of runner beans any day now.
The bathroom and kitchen have been given a good going over and are gleaming and I've given myself a bit of a pedicure, and of course I've been up to the farm shop and back laden with the weekend's provisions. Not a bad morning's work

You have put me to shame Dove Have popped out to get some money as claws are being done this afternoon
Need to get cracking on tidying though as may have a visit this weekend from family and if it's raining we'll need to be indoors . . . . which I'm not sure will be possible at the moment

Morning all.
Chucking it down here as it has been all night long.
What a luxury to lie in bed with a cuppa, or two.
OH making bacon toasties for breakfast with olive ciabatta. Yummity yum.
I have a " phone appointment " booked with GP on Monday to see if she can hasten my appointment with Ortho chap . Fingers crossed.
Much empathy to all fellow forker sufferers.
Very dark and absolutely hissing down!!
Isn't it just Hosta, that's filled the water butts!
I have been out to greenhouses, everywhere is soggy, rain came in one window, fortunately a grow bag tray caught it.
A tray of potted on wallflowers blew down, so that's the end of those, off to sow some more, you have got to hand it to me, I don't give up.
Even after the rabbits have eaten all the 2 dozen Gaillardia and Potentillia i planted out, I have still sown more, maybe I am just a bit stupid!.
good day to everyone and sad for troubled souls. xx
Half a dozen duck eggs for you Lilly Pilly

Chucking it down here in Southampton too, so I've come to the library. I'm not lying down in the cockpit taking the engine to bits in this weather!
Much needed though: on the way here yesterday the fields were looking like late August, not July.
