I haven't misted them-but they look healthy enough -they are sitting on moist peat-why this one succumbed I don't know-I can see the fly -there is a fly buzzing around because the windows are open-I shall point him in the right direction
Do not like assassin plants, if I see a fly even daring to look in my windows a nice stroke with the fly swat sends it to the outfield for six, keeps my batting eye in. Woke up to a sea fret on Teesside, a cooler night and heavy cloud, as I came back across the Tees from shopping had the car lights on and wipers going, it is not heavy just annoying as the lawns need a cut.
Miss Bateman (you're not my old - umm I mean ex - schoolteacher from waybackwhen are you?) I just love that local form of weather forecasting!
We have a saying here as we overlook the Bristol Channel - if you can see Wales it's going to rain, and if you can't see Wales - it's raining. Like all folklore - an element of truth!
It has been hot again here - up to 27 C again, but it's now clouded over a bit. It should be a bit cooler tonight - so should be easier for sleeping.
Btw - remember the icecream maker I said I had bought? Bad move. Very bad move. No-one wants "that shop-bought rubbish" any more - so I've been consigned to icecream maker in chief throughout the hot weather at least. Vanilla (with real pods and seeds) = delicious. Lemon & lime sorbet = soft mix but gorgeous. (Sorry - nothing to do with weather directly. Perhaps we need a "recipe" section to share ideas about using gluts of stuff. Courgette icecream anyone?).
Blueberry Ice Cream yes please!!!! Had a great few days uphere in Glenlivet Scotland glad its not been as hot as you guys have had its been just right up here shames it all changes at the weekend but just how typical is that! Enjoy the weather whilst it last.

Yesterday cherry ice cream and peanut butter ice cream- there is blueberry to come
Will pass on courgette ice cream
No.1 Son would love peanut butter icecream but I think I'll pass. Cherry or bluebuerry sounds delicious!

Lisa - Glenlivet: am I right in thinking this is the home of one of the best single malts?
Yes, one of the best indeed - dim day to start with but glorious now - think a drop ( or two) of Glenlivet at bathtime is called for!!
