It rained all day. All I managed to do was a bundle of pea sticks and some tidying up in the conservatory. Then when retail therapy beckoned and I had spent £54 on four tops and a pair of summer trousers and an Egyptian cotton fitted bed sheet I decided it was safer to watch tennis. So glad I did as Marcus Willis playing Robert the Bruce on Centre Court with such good humour was just what the whole country needed after the shock of the political upheaval we are having. I could not help but grin when he grinned.
Glad you enjoyed the Tennis , I didn't get out it started to rain all day , went shopping with o/h , then early evening it throw it down , always tomorrow
A dry day forecast so should catch up with the jobs needing done in the front garden. I have taken a trachelspermum in a big pot down to the front gate and a honeysuckle just coming into flower for the other side. Together they should greet visitors with wafts of perfume. I have lots of big pots of lavender coming into flower too. Buds are opening every day now on the pelargoniums. i have pots of tall French marigolds in flower to drop into the prairie planting to give the grasses some highlights. When the pots are all in place I will feed them as the soil is nicely moist after the rain all day yesterday. Busy, busy, busy.
Hehe! A "tree surgeon" saw me in the garden and tried to get me to pay for next door's lime tree to be cut on my side to let in the light at a cost of £360 which went down to £260 then £180 as I was retired! I had to be quite rude to get rid of him as he was interrupting my work. Another window cut out this morning and a sign with Welcome to my Garden on black slate put in it. I hope the "tree surgeons" do not take that as an invitation to pester me. There are so many nowadays I swear i could paper a wall with their flyers.
Garden very wet so we must have had rain in the night. Forecast is for mostly dry today so should get more work done than yesterday if it is correct. I must do some harvesting.

Drat it has started to rain - not supposed to according to the forecast. Big spots too so I will watch some tennis.
The rain has held off here Marion so I've managed to get a fair bit of weeding and cutting back done. It's now tennis time for me too.
Neighbours and I back onto council owned woodland and get pestered by so-called "tree surgeons".

In my garden this morning.
