Lots of yellow rattle here. We have a patch of ground we call (pretentiously) our meadow. It is beginning to look really good now that we have got the yellow rattle established - took a few years of seed sowing, but now it is spreading by itself. It is pretty in itself, but stops the grass taking over completely and lets the flowers get established too.
Busy day ahead (following late night in the office last night) ......don't they know I have pots to water
Hosta you must be so proud, you have really helped your knees too! I try hard but it is difficult isn't it ?
Chicky you have got me thinking re our field, maybe I should get some yellow rattle!
Lesley have sent you a pm
weather looks promising today, it's been shocking here Yesterday was spent dealing with the blackcurrants, compote and creme de cassis for Christmas tomatoes leaves stripped off to "try" and hasten ripening Redcurrants should be ready today or tomorrow, it's a race between me and the birds!

Hmmm - the Met Office is promising some showers ...... well the water butts are empty - they can fill up while I'm playing tennis so that'll be good ... and then it is promising a sunny evening .... so we can have our planned picnic on the beach .... sounds good to me

it's still the best way to keep an even keel isn't it? I'm a great believer in not cutting anything out of my diet, but eating certain things in moderation, and keeping the portion sizes at a sensible level. I suppose I've always done that really.
Ooh you all snuck in while I was typing.
Enjoy the tennins Dove.
Better take daughter to work and then see what's up.

Morning all.
Early one for me when not on coal face duties.
Pretty horrid out, breezy , misty and raining, but lots to do in tunnels without feeling guilty about NOT being in the garden.
Half way through the week guys.
I was talking to the store manager yesterday for the first time in ages....
" Oh my God, but you've lost a helluva lot of weight"
" yeah, 3 stone and 3 pounds"
" well done you"
Shame he's leaving soon.
Morning all/ afties Pat if you're about
I actually slept till nearly seven this morning. Why have I been waking at half/six every morning while I've been off?
chicky - work gets in the way of a lot of things doesn't it?
You'll be fading away Hosta. Have you been cutting down on food as well as drink?

Good morning all
Slept like a log 
Hosta,
but it's not just the weight is it ..... it's how it makes you feel and move ..... that's how it shows the most 
17.3C out there, with a slight dampness in the air .......... I'd better see what the forecast is ;promising ....

Still no booze ( 6 months next week ) Fairygirl and no snacking which goes along with it.
I do treat myself to a Magnum at night.
Good Morning,
not often I am up before Dove
