Watched some of the athletes' parade this afternoon after housework . It looked quite good but didn't see it all.
Glad you had a good time , Lottie and that your son is ok. I am very wary of cyclists.
Sounds like you had a good day, Kate. Hope you rounded it off with a nice cake.
Nice to hear from Pam,
I don't like the idea of more wet summers , Pam. Headlines on Express today : 80 m.p.h. gales to hit Britain - something to do with Hurricane Michael . Super.
Glyn, I've always fancied climbing but I can just about climb the stairs now !
Well, you survived the first day - expect you'll come to '' terms '' with it now ! Maybe Becks has found out it would be expensive or like you say really enjoying herself.Watching ''Leaving '' on itv - 3 parter so hope it's better than A mothers son.
Hello and goodnight all. Well done to those who kept things ticking over today, it's good to catch up with all your news after my busyish day. I did get a chance to sit down and watch some of the athletes' parade whilst keeping Twink the kitten company for an hour. Tomorrow will ring Cats Protection and ask if they can find him a home - though it's possible that the vet-nurse who scanned him for a microchip might be interested. I'll chat her up tomorrow and sing his furry praises.
I'm not at all brave when it comes to adventurous stuff. My youngest sister and her family go caving - too claustrophobic. A few years ago on a school trip I braved a (not very high) zip wire because the children in my class had all done it and were egging me on. They were so thrilled when I gave it a go and were very sweet and encouraging as they could see I was nervous!
Thanks Glyn, seemed cheeky to use your "proper" names without being invited!
Newby Hall isn't National Trust but RHS full members can go in free during April, May and Sept. I have a Historic Houses card and use that to go in for free. The gardens are lovely, will dig out some pics when on the computer (can't on the iPad).
Kate-shame about your penstemons. Can't say I do anything special apart from dig a hole and plant them! The "Garnet" variety seems a bit tougher than some. I have had more tender ones that haven't done as well.
Would have liked to have spent more time in the garden at the weekend, did a bit.but was hindered by jobs like the washing, ironing, cleaning out the hen house and a visit to IKEA!

That is all x
Dan, brave or stupid? I certainly wouldn't want to do it, but well done foe having a bash.
PamLL, if you find smiley faces on the iPad let me know!
Gary, Victoria Pendleton eh? I bet she does well. Have we heard who else yet? I
the way round though. I need to plan to visit a placement student in Surrey, so that I can get a visit in.
No Becks, having a great time or no wifi?.
Lottie, thank goodness he's OK
Glyn
I think i was brave but there are guys and gals who do this on a daily basis, they are the nutjobs.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to push themselves to the limit. and after all that i still cannot work out how Sherlock survived.

I think I'll have to make a visit Nola.
Didn't manage to get any of my plants in over the weekend, doesn't look like I'llbe getting to do it this week though.
Have a nice day, y'all!
Morning each.
Nola, another chicken owner here ~ ~ (that's my version of waving)
Hope the weather is kind to everyone. I might even have time to go in the garden today.
