Another popper-inner here. Still raining on the Cornish Riviera. (I hope Kate is okay)
I saw a blackcap eating the last of the red currants,Jo. The blackbirds had the rest but thankfully they seem to leave the blackcurrants and raspberries alone.
Not many butterflies this year but I've seen glow worms and a lovely big grass snake under a sheet of corrugated tin. I managed to take a photo of the snake.When I've tried to put photos on here I get a message to say my file is too big. Do I need to go on a diet?
Sunshine and rain are fighting for their position on this side of The Channel today. Normally we are in the dry corner so it won't be too bad I hope. Had planned to do some work in the front garden today.
Yes Geoff, the weekend has been the best in ages. Loads of fun and dancing and of course seeing family members that live on the other side of the country. 'Twas a bit like a reunion.
No news of job yet....It won't be long before I'll ask you all to cross fingers and toes again.
The SUN has appeared again! Lawn is soaking so yet another day to wait, maybe?
Now, do I risk putting the washing out? No, darkening again as I type! Anyway could miss that driver again- think will put note on door anyway saying am IN, so if any sense he, probably, will try ringing the bell again if no response from me initially. Darent even think about using the hoover as wouldnt hear bell then anyway. J.
Pam -you can upload the photo to photobucket than download it on here-when you are on photobucket copy the direct link "link"- paste that onto the external link part of the option when you click on the tree icon here-sounds long winded- but isn't and saves resizing-I use it all the time -if you get stuck let me know and I will talk you down
This is no good, was hoping to help my parents in the garden but the rain is way too heavy, so it looks like I may have to spend the day cooking.
Flowerchild happy to cross my fingers for you anytime.
Geoff, it is very difficult to roast a wet chicken.
I also watched LYG, I had special dispensation, I can only assume that once you apply and get the nod you do not do any work. My grandma would not let family help, she kept saying I am not old, I can do it and none of them were brave enough to just get on with it.
I have been to B&Q and was very,very good-they had reduced plants but resisted just got the wood I needed-now it is paining and can't do the job I had planned -might just be a 'orrible shower
Flower my bits are ready to be crossed- just give me the signal
Kate will be happy to get back to the balmy temperatures of the South East-there was a mention of a chance of grass frost tonight on the weather earlier in some parts of the UK -might have been Scotland-hope Jenny has the fleece at the ready
Jo- when you have done the mopping can you do the ironing-Mrs Geoff has gone swimming and there is a big pile here-ta
Having to stay in all day for a parcel delivery is really frustrating. It's an area where Amazon could do a lot to improve the customer experience.
You can track most carriers, but that normally doesn't tell you much more than the packet has left the depot.
I got a package last week, from Amazon, delivered by a company called APLE. They actually sent me an E-mail giving the precise hour-slot they would be delivering in. The delivery was bang-on. More companies need to work like that; it can be done.
I shall be very cross if it doesnt come until after 6pm, which has happened in the past. At leastTesco now send you a text giving you a further ETA within your delivery slot, so that narrows it down even further.
HUGE note on front door- just risked some washing out!
At this rate wont get the mopping done! No point doing yet anyway as will need to dash out to get washingback inside- you bet. This confuses me as tend to do kitchen first etc etc- old habits etc etc. Upstairs awaits. J.
, Thanks Geoff for the advice about the photos. I'll have a go. I just about managed to upload photos on the BBC site.
It must be frustrating waiting for parcels. My porch is always open so most drivers leave parcels in there for me or my son who lives next door.
Talking of parcels I sent for some dried lavender to make pillows etc. It arrived within a day from Amazon and I made a pillow yesterday. Lovely to wake up to the smell of lavender this morning..

Forgot to say- no sign at all yet of the little squirrel. Rain never deters it usually.J.
