While you lot are polishing hats, I'm polishing copper jugs for the flowers. Now, after the carved buffet at lunch. ( turkey crown, roast beef, roast gammon or poached dressed salmon, new tatties and salads), would you like chocolate mints with the tea or coffee, or a thorntons continental? I have to get a box of chocs per table.
I still haven't sorted out the music. I need to do the penstemon cuttings.
Speaking of flowers - when I go out there to pick the last of the tomatoes and grapes, I think I'll pick a big bunch of flowers for the house - the rain's going to spoil them all

... Waiting for the gas man today - annual fire and boiler check and service - one good thing about renting ...
That's a thought Wonky - given last tenant's abysmal record at opening door to tradesmen, you and hub had better ask Landlord when boiler was serviced last!
Sorry - you've probably though of that - just being a mum

Clari I do hope you find something new, you are definitely not appreciated!
WW how hard you all worked but worth it????
Fidget, can I help? I don't wear hats so have more time than the others ????
Pat lovely photos I am glad you bit better
Dove OH thought I was mad last night as I was cutting flowers in the dark!
DD take care with that arm, burns are so sore
Lesley hope your foot getting better
whats all this news headline about plastic bags? We have had it for years it is good I just have to buy bin bags now ????
Doesnt look like the rain far off, we removing old fence posts today. Wet weather gear I think. Number 1 pooch so fed up at not being allowed out with us. Bandaging must stay dry, 4 more days to go!!

Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
Mmm fidget, I quite like a mint but I like Thorntons too. That's a lovely feast you've organised.
Jo I haven't seen so many poo bags hanging in the trees and bushes lately. Either the culprits don't walk there any more or they're not picking up. I agree that standing on one leg is dangerous. I once did that on a kitchen stool when trying to reach a cobweb, fell off and broke my collarbone. The cobwebs are now welcome to stay
DD it's not much fun doing things one handed - takes twice as long and is sometimes impossible. Hope your hand heals soon and is not too painful.
Good idea Dove, think I'll pick a few flowers this morning too
We will be Ok for bin bags this year. The heat shield fell off under the car.Himself fixed it, but I had to empty the boot. I only put back the cool bags and the bags for life. I must have taken forty ordinary carriers out and put in kitchen to use for binbags.
Why do dog walkers hang poo bags on trees?. Put it in a bin. Why do people chuck rubbish in the sea? I've seen all sorts. Turtles eating plastic bags, lobsters in old tyres, octopus in old coke bottles, sharks trailing fishing line from hooks. Turtles laying eggs on a beach with so much rubbish on it, the hatchlings have to fight through it to get to the water.

Morning all.
Dry spell definitely ended, hissing it down outside.
Thanks for your advice, I shall continue to plot, but only theoretically!!!
Hope it is nice to be waking in your new house Wonky.
Have a good day everyone.
