My day has just been brightened up cobsiderably, we just had a video call from our family living in Cambodia! My husband is now looking up flight prices for me, to see if I can visit over the summer. I suspect it's a bit late to get decent flight times and prices now.
Talking of funeral photos, and Cambodia, the Khmer websites put up the most gruesome photos of injured/deceased. The norm is that they then get shared around social media. A completely different culture.
T'bird - the concert nonsense is ludicrous - why DO people want to watch it through a tiny screen after paying to SEE an artist?
But the funeral takes the biscuit....it seems that some people can't live their life any other way than through their phone. There is no respect or consideration any more either. I despair of the human race at times, and yet, there will be another story which comes along to make you feel there IS hope for us all.
The doubles have been great too Liri - I agree. I've watched some of the men's, and I saw a little of Heather Watson's match yesterday, but I have to fit it in round other things. Work mainly! It's seriously affecting my tennis watching...
Just had a stroll round the garden...well I went as far as the grass....
Back to low teens after reaching 16 yesterday...yes, 16. That was the first day it managed to get to that temp. Positively tropical
It's not unpleasant though - no wind, just wet. Struggled to get double figures most days. Looks like hole filling, sanding and h****work for me...and tennis...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Well the rain is falling! Glad I cut the lawn yesterday. I wonder if I ought suggest that guests bring water proof tomorrow.
Since the GP services near me are so over strained their last advice was to " try googling your condition and see what treatment suggestions you can find and just play around until something works " I've just ordered some detox tea. It sounds like it will taste awful! Tea here is Yorkshire and a splash of semi skimmed not sixteen herbs and fruit floating in it! Still it's one of many Internet cures on my list.
How weird is that? - Wonky's post wasn't there before my last posting. and it wasn't there when I refreshed the page to see what you were urging her to do. Went to previous page - came back to this one and suddenly it was there...
Anyways, - you're a great DIL to do that Wonky - hope you can make it secure and looking nice in a day. Watch out Instant Gardener!!
Filled lawnmower with petrol, pulled it out of the shed and the heavens opened . Potted on some basil, did washing up - sun is shining now. Time for a quick cuppa and I'll go and try again.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Seem to be missing the rain here, so about to get out there for a couple of hours. Many, many plants simply begging to be potted on. Will come back in for the tennis though.
Drove Chicklet to the airport yesterday - visiting a friend in Berlin. First time she has flown on her own ....mucho stress. I had to laugh when she said that all the times she has flown before she has just followed us, not taking the slightest notice of what was going on, and wondering what everyone was getting quite so tetchy about ......and now she knows. My baby is growing up

Agree re funeral photos. The pits.
Also re filming instead of deterring bike thieves... though a good video might identify the culprits, I suppose.
Go Wonky!!

Morning all, back from daughter who has just moved house and hasn't yet got internet. Haven't read back yet, but so much to do! See you later.
Can't agree more with the whole 'phone' issue.

Still then... anyone for a brew?
Wonks - missed your post there. Think the cattle prod is needed for the intruder
..and the son!
A cheap cctv camera too perhaps...

Morning all , raining and in for the day , so no gardening , looks like house work as o/h is making raspberry and strawberry jam
Enjoyed watching Hampton Court again last night
Have a good day everybody
I'll just have the Yorkshire Clari - with skinny milk though
I hate the thought of that fruity stuff
I'm an old fashioned girl when it comes to my tea 
Jam sounds good GWRS. Haven't had jam in ages...
