    Morning all. We are going out to lunch today. I wanted to watch the Show Jumping, but just can't work out what time it's on. I've Googled and seen 10am, 15.00h, 03.00h.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    BL. I Googled show jumping schedule and it said 3pm (your time) for individual and team. 

    I've found it a bit hit and miss finding some some of the events at the scheduled times.

    Hi all.

    Very tired after long nights TV watching.

    If only I could get fit watching sport.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Morning all, afternoon Pat,

    The cold I was cultivating on Friday has turned into a propper snotfest! image going to keep busy though as I can nearly breath when upright! So I will be heading off to a late riser car boot sale shortly.

    Hope everyone has a lovely day!

    Morning allimage. Bright eyed and bushy tailed here (notimage). Glad I stayed up to watch tho image

    Today marks part II of an assault on a nettley, brackeny patch that is going to be transformed into a new buddleja patch.  We want one that we can see from the patio so that we can watch the flutterbyes without getting off our behindsimage.  Part I yesterday was bl&&&y hard workimageimage

    Morning Wonky image  Keep your germs down there please image

    Chicky - we've got a Buddleja Miss Ruby right in front of the sitting room window - we can see our flutterbyes from the comfort of the sofa - OH thinks he saw a Hummingbird Hawkmoth flying away from it yesterday evening, but he's not sure ... 

    B. Miss Ruby is great - a really deep pinky red - a hint of magenta - not a huge plant, - probably about 5ft at the moment (planted the summer of 2014) and a very elegant shape.  Recommended! image

    Thanks Dove - I think we have a Miss Ruby (ours is called Sugar Plum, but I think they are the same thing) ......gorgeous colourimage.  We also have the ubiquitous, but beautiful Black Knight, a pink pagoda and some Empire Blues.  We had a bit of a spending spree when we went to the national collection at Longstock last year, and Mr C has been taking cuttings too.  The flutterbyes are flockingimage (although not as many as last year image .......maybe the weatherimage)

    Morning all, Feeling very sleepy this morning and didn't even stay up to watch Olympics.  Oh just noticed it's afternoonimage.  Caught up on the highlights, did anyone see the long jumper who was so disappointed he only got a bronze he cried. Mo's just getting his medal, not sure I can bear another terrible rendition of the national anthem, lord knows where they got the recording from.

    Spent much of yesterday at Secondborns cuddling Jonah,he is so cute at the moment, lots of giggles and very squidgy.

    Quilt is coming along. Never made one before so each step is a new experience. 

    Sorry to hear you have another cold Wonky, last time you gave it to me but I'd be so grateful if you could keep it to youself this timeimage

    Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday.
