Trying to stay awake here 'cos I'll have to pick OH up from the station in about half an hour so I thought I'd noodle on here with you lot while I watch HIGNFY.
Jo, I think Wonky might need a bandage after
The flat is lovely - they've been with that landlord for a long while now and they know not to have great expectations - it will all get done eventually but he is quite 'economical' so tradesmen don't give his work priority
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Good that the flat is lovely though. You are so early to bed and early to rise Dove, I'm just the opposite!
Didn't make the chips, lily, thanks to Findus! I have potatoes in the garden but they make soggy chips. Don't know why as they roast really well. The French don't seem to do fish in batter, it's always in breadcrumbs. OH likes batter. Wish it was low calorie.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I've been making plant supports like that for years, since Alan Titchmarsh did it on GW, so much cheaper. I only use one plank of wood. Posted it on the forum once. That was a stunning garden, one person couldn't possibly do all that clipping.

A quick hello to anyone still awake - just back from a day spent looking at potential homes for Mum, with my sister. Definitely some good ones among them, including a really lovely small dementia unit surrounded by gardens and fields, with a real family feel and caring staff.
DD - just read back about your OH. Thinking of all three of you - hope for better news tomorrow, and please have a big HUG in the meantime.
Can't keep my eyes open...
Night night.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Liked his (Griff's) garden too, although I was only half paying attention. Will watch it properly on Sunday, or tomorrow night.
For anyone who's peckish - there's a few of the 'fairy' cakes left from my birthday
They were very tasty. Just as well I'm walking again tomorrow - I've eaten rather a lot of cake this week
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Night night.
Evening all.
I really hope you get good news soon DD, if there is anything I can do, please let me know.
Rare treat tonight, went into town to the theatre. Saw a good production of Romeo and Juliet and had lovely meal.
Don't do town much these days, prefer country, but it was a nice change and the bottle of red and the Grappa helped me relax.
enjoy the rest of your evenings, I might have a malt before bed, seeing as I am in the mood.
