Home made lemonade sounds good Dove and it's good to see Wonky is OK. Have a great day tomorrow.
I have set 2 kilos of blackcurrants to drip for cordial. 2 more are steeping in vodka to make a liqueur as I don't need any more blackcurrant jam or jelly and can't take frozen stuff with us. OH picked the purple gooseberries so another 2 kilos of fruit have become 10 jars of jam.
All my many pots have been watered, grass has been cut and the old kitchen chairs have been sanded again. Need to be fed a solution of linseed oil and turps tomorrow then left to dry out a week before I can sand them again and paint them.
News from Turkey is depressing.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

good morning all - up and at'em this morning as I'm driving OH to work rather than him biking as picking him up after work and we're heading of the coast for supper.
News from Turkey depressing - news from the US also Thank goodness for gardening
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Topbird; I checked the cash machine on the wall in case it did paying in but didn't seem too. We're non too advanced up here.
Haven't checked the news yet. Sometimes it's nicer not to know.
I have however just weighed myself. AGH! I'm at the heaviest I've been all year. So much for these senna laced detox teas meant to be used as slimming aids while flushing all the rubbish through your body.
BUT I can at least claim to, on some occasions, be less fatigued. I was up so late last night I saw adverts on the television that his lordship was watching for... adult type pleasurable toys! I can't remember when I last saw a more confusing advert like that. I mean what the devil are they doing with raw aubergines? Some poor devil spent ages growing that and they want to flash it all over the television with some double a batteries? It was most confusing.
Today I am teaching cpr in the museum. I just hope we have some visitors!
A quick pop in today as long journey ahead. I've got gardening plans that are actually on paper! had a sudden burst of inspiration and imagined what I could do with the untidy bit, ( other than have my back to it when taking photos!)
Its nearly the weekend! Have a lovely day folks and keep cool!
Cool start today thank goodness. I've been out to remove the tattier leaves form my gunner in a pot and which is definitely ready to be liberated into the ground but has to wait a bit yet. Had a word with my roses in pots too. Clems next but first I have to do a shop.
Supper at the coast sounds lovely Dove. Can you still do that in the holiday season? Tried it in the Vendée last week and all the accesses were pedestrianised for summer so gave up. Will try later in the year and get to know the places so we know where to park and walk.
News from the US is frightening. Why do they have to go round shooting each other? Do they really think DT will make the US safer, as he promises, from Jan 2017? Dream on!
I shall go and spray some pernicious weeds this pm to make me feel better. Wee showers expected at the end of the morning so no point doing it early.
TGIF.

I woke in the middle of the night and caught some of Mr Trumpet's speech obelixx.....it's a wonder I got back to sleep. Are Americans really this blind?
Anyway - morning all/afties Pat
Wet here - it woke me at half five battering down on the metal lid of the fire pit thingy. It's that nice summer stuff that comes vertically and waters everything nicely - no wind. Forecast doesn't look too brilliant over the weekend though...or next week. Hope it changes
Better get ready for work - have a good day everyone - enjoy all your trips and outings and gardening
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Friday has arrived
I had a clear out of unwanted plants last weekend too (although not on Hosta's scale
) ....funny how the need to water pots can concentrate the mind
Have a good day peeps, the weekend is nearly here?????

You have a gunner in a pot Obelixx? Doesn't he get a bit tetchy?
Have a lovely day Wonky.
If you're going to No 1 in Cromer Dove - I shall be slightly envious
