Geoff, the thought of your neighbour is enough to put you off your cake.
Lovely pics of all the flowers. You all seem on very good form today.
I have been in the garden for a while today, tidying up the borders, decided to leave cosmos for now as they were covered in bees.
Made lasagna for evening meal . Daughter and partner are coming for an Italian themed meal. Starting with antipasti, olives, mozzarella etc, then lasagna with salad and garlic bread, followed by a lemon concoction with fresh raspberries and almond biscuits.Phew it's taken me nearly all blooming day to get it ready, and they'll demolish it in a few minutes, but I'll be alright after a few glasses of vino.
I'm on cat feeding duties this weekend for SIL who lives in the next village, hope she is ok,the cat that is, so I have got to go and feed her and put her in for the night, I'm always on edge until SIL gets back in case anything should happen to her, she's a pedigree Ragdoll cat.
Just before I came in there was a flypast of 14 light aeroplanes going towards RAF Waddington, must have known I was at home
Chris, that sounds wonderful. I went to Italy in my teens, and have to admit, the food there was absolutely lovely! I'm considering Italy for summer hols next year.
Wonderful flowers Dean and Pam. Loads to catch up on, we do seem to be back to normal (well, our sort of normal) today.
I have spent the afternoon cutting my very Very VERY long front grass. I always rake each section first to get the frogs out but sadly, despite my efforts, I managed to commit froggicide. I always feel sad when that happens. I saved two and a newt, though.
Bangers and mash tonight, hoping OH will do the honours :- )
Jean -chillax-winter is a long way off-we have just reached Autumn
Pam-the dahlias are lovely -I am disappointed in mine-just had a walk round the front and some plants are wilting through lack of water -it has been an odd year.
Becks -you might get an offer from an Italian waiter if you play your cards right-you could be the next Shirley Valentine
We are having home-made pizza-a tad Italian so will be with you in spirit Chris
I bought some cherry tomato plug plants, last year, from Blooms/Wyevale, and they turned out to be very definitely not cherries. By the time I realised it was far too late to think of taking them back. How do you take back a fully grown tomato plant. Far too much hassle. I'd grown cherry toms before, from seed. That's reliable, but expensive, as you pay about £3 for 10 seeds.
Kate, knowing daughters OH there wont be a crumb left, but if there is it will be in your cyberlocker pronto
Becks, Italy is also my absolute fav for holidays, just love it, the food, the style, architecture, not to mention the sunshine, I was going to say men, but thought better of it although Italian men are a bit on the short side. No offence intended to any Italian men who read this forum.
Just off to feed the Fleur the cat, as I have said, rather posh.

Pam lovely dahlias.
Chris food sounds yummy, will there be any leftovers cyberetically?
Lovely flowers , Pam and Dean. My sweet peas have well gone and I can't grow Dahlias - the slugs just munch them. I may have another go next year.
Chris, that meal sounds rather nice.
Does this mean I can put my D.I.Y. igloo making kit away ?
What is with blokes letting it all hang out ? And don't get me started on builders bums !

Pam, those flowers are pretty!

Nola, my Gardeners Delight are bigger than usual too - I was beginning to wonder if they'd been wrongly labelled.
