Morning sweaty ones and those in the frozen wastes.
A freind of mine who was in the forces was a great believer in a pint of Coke and a packet of ready salted for weather like this. Much more palatable than those nasty little sachets!
Yvie you made me laugh. When I was young (before I'd learnt stuff) I was painting the front of my first house and in a young foolish way I jumped down off the ladder and moved it along a bit with the 5litre pot of Sandtex (other brands are available) perched on top. Need I go on??? Thankfully it's water based but oh boy does it go far!!! My jumper wasn't particularly absorbant, nor was my underwear, nor my jeans for that matter... shoes didn't hold much.....
Muddle-up -remove the hairs before the paint dries otherwise lots of touching up to be done We probably still have the odd embedded cat hair but not a cat now.
Very hot out there today. Popped in for a cool down. Wanting to get the rest of the plants in and watered as we have a local Open Gardens weekend this Saturday and Sunday.
Runnybeak - I have loads more Hellebores and will pop some in the post to you tomorrow. Lets hope these arrive!!
Well looks like i won't need to water tonite. Storm clouds gathering and thunder rumbling. Who was it was wishing for rain again............Fairy you may well get your wish!!
Boiling hot here today. Had a lovely trip to David Austin roses, I bought rose food and didn't, yes you heard right, I didn't get a rose.
Bought a clematis instead. It's Jackmanii and will be my 19th clematis in what is a relatively small garden. But I do have the perfect place for it.
Then I needed some hortifultural grit to plant sempervirums. So I popped into Ashwoods. Ended up with a new bird feeder and seed. Mmmm must do better on the economy drive. Oh and the lemon cake at DA's was gorgeous.
So all was going really well, then I returned home to find some inconsiderate person had allowed their mutt to leave a great steaming pile of **** right in the middle of my lawn.

HaHa MU. My mum rang me one night to complain that she had a white shiny dog and a black furry skirting board!!!
Back from the Memorial Service. Our friends had a summer home in Dordogne. Thank you Obelixx, Lily and Liri.
Hope to garden this afternoon. Electrician should be coming soon to do an estimate for repairing our phone points that were damaged in a storm.
Afternoon all!
Had to go (because I'm such a loving partner) to Meadowhell to look for a black leather belt for him to get for his father's day...
An hour of searching and sending him photos later he decides he liked the FIRST ONE BEST.
To top it off M&S don't even sell gluten free cake in that store so I couldn't even get a reward.
Now having a break between ironing and cleaning to rest and enjoy my day off.
Clari, that's strange enjoyment for a day off
