    Hi all.

    Very muggy here.

    Just made a big discovery, I can see the computer screen much better, if I wear my glasses!

    Plan today, is to move a few plants, to places where they may look better. However long I garden I still struggle to throw out plants which I don't think earn their keep. I prefer to keep moving their location, hoping to eventually find the perfect location.

    Must be more ruthless.

    Apple and Blackberry crumble for breakfast!

    Have a good day.

    Pdoc,. . crumble at night time for me not b'fast.

    Breezy so the dampness should  soon be gone.

    Morning all. 

    Each time I went out to top up Spikey food last night, I'd have sworn it was warmer outdoors than indoors. Most odd.

    Coal face beckons at 12. Orchid watering this morning methinks.

    doc - there's never a wrong time for crumble...image

    I used to struggle with chucking plants too, but I know I don't have room here so that makes it a bit easier! I can always palm them off on my nephew as he has a new build and needs plenty of plants. My sister can never say no either - even though her garden is as over stuffed as her house  image

    Got a bit wet coming back from the garage. Hope the smirr goes off so that I can get outside. I really don't fancy doing indoor stuff, even though there's plenty needs doing. Those walls won't paint themselves.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    You'll just have to put up with our inane chat DD. Not that I'm ever inane of course....image  image

    Got wet again going back for car. £230....image

    Definitely toast and beans for a couple of months. I need tulips....image

    On the plus side - I have a nice newly painted wall in the lounge, and one undercoated door frame...

    Lovely morning dividing and replanting.

    I love the idea of getting plants for free, but also find some of my plant positioning is a bit more imaginative with divisions, probably because they are freebies, so I am less concerned about their future health.

    Bad luck on the car fg, and you with the tele DD.

    Now going to lie on the sofa, and watch the first part of "The Night Of ", a new series, which has had very good reviews.

    Productive morning doc. I know what you mean about being less concerned if they're freebies  image

    It's the labour for cars that's the killer - the materials needed (brake pads and a couple of bulbs) and the MOT came to just over £100. Add the VAT and labour ....image

    It's necessary so it's how it is. It's a good local garage. They always warn you if things need done, and don't just crack on and do them without checking or doing them unnecessarily. 

    Still wet so no gardening today. It's watered the hydrangea in nicely though. I don't think it noticed it's move at all  image

    I've caught a new Scandi drama - first two episodes have been on- Angelby. Quite good so far.
