Morning all just had breakfast after a lie in , thinking about going in garden still trying to catch up from hols , overcast , just hope rain holds off ,unfortuatly forecast for this afternoon
Hazel: I can sympathize with you having to endure your battle of the birds, they can make a terrible racket.
Lots of magpies here and I'm awoken at around 5.30 every morning by a group who have decided that the guttering outside my bedroom window is the best spot for an early morning natter.
Punkdoc, your neighbour is a total b*ll end. Next time he comes round, I'd say " why don't you come indoors and use my phone to report me to the police. I can then speak to them too, if they'd like"
Rain again here too folks.
Dropped Hubby at work, been to builders' merchant for him, taken his car to tyre place, been tospeak to windows people about new windows, ordered the last of the timber for the raised polytunnel beds and now back having a cuppa and a bit of Sainsbury's carrot cake.
Bombs in Turkey, plane crashes in Egypt, gunmen running amok, Greek islands over-run with migrants, Pound in free fall. Is this the work of the British Tourist Board to make us stay at home?
Pdoc - he's on very dodgy ground - harrassment and all that. Glad you've called the police And anyway, when are you supposed to have been spying on said person - whilst you were in foreign parts ??
Back from Homebase and Waitrose - somehow a Salvia Wendy's Wish fell into the basket at Homebase - Wonky had one - it was beautiful, but it didn't survive the winter - I'll take some cuttings from this one and we'll have another attempt at making it happy.
Now I'll go and practice my tennis - it's that time of year and you never know when the call might come ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
That's a cracking salvia Dove. Hope you can get it through this time. I have to plunge Hot Lips in the greenhouse for the winter and cross my fingers - gifts from friends - and this year both have survived and thrived and are now rather large........
I've been given another with violet purple flowers. Stunning plant but also tender and no-name.
Dry here again - 2nd day on the run after weeks and weeks of rain but I don't feel like going out an getting mucky today. Might dead head some roses though. Kiftsgate is looking stunning but the repeat climbers and shrub roses are looking abit wet and wind blown and bedraggled.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Morning all.

Hazel: Boiler problems, ouch! Hope he can fix it for you asap. We had to get a new one installed in Jan 2015 when the old one finally gave up on us. ?
I can cope with power cuts, no electric/gas but problems with the waterworks sends me into a spin
. Its one of life's essentials.
