     Mine can be like that too Wonky - I've been forbidden to try turning the compost, so I can't pull up my cosmos today 'cos there's nowhere to put it.

    I've reboiled my jelly and hope that it sets now image  There's another batch to do tomorrow.  

    Think I'd better sit on the sofa now and sew your new jumper up ... shouldn't sprain anything doing that, should I? image

    Watch those pesky needles now Dove....image

    I've decided to paint rather than do housework. Thoroughly vile outside. Kitchen cut in all round, lunch being had and then I'll get  the rollers out. So many fiddly bits and pieces in there and I have to do the ceiling as it was water marked from the burst pipes when the new boiler went in. 

    Beats hoovering though  image

    My youngest is really feeble with spiders. I'm sure she isn't mine....image

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • Wonky used to be really feeble about spiders - even Bertie who lived on the landing windowsill when we lived at The Mill - I ignored such feebleness - she grew out of it eventually when she got a garden and a garden shed of her own image

    The spiders outside are busy weaving huge webs. I just disturbed a frog around by the compost heap. Lots of bugs and worms around there. My garden is probably not the best place for anyone scared of insects, the whole hedge looks like it has a swarm of bees on it, but on inspection, most of them are harmless hoverflies.

    Tomatoes have been evicted from the greenhouse, the residue put through the shredder. The sweet pea  mess needs to come down as well.

    I took all my toms out the other day too fidget. I'm not sure I'll bother next year. One lot of sweet peas gone but the Cupanis are still going strong - they're fantastic. I deadhead almost every day.

    I stopped deadheading the sweet peas.  There is a lot of seed on, I may see what can be saved.

    Current status of the lounge.

    We've near filled the skip with the lounge and rubble from the garden. I don't think the previous occupants threw anything away including so many random lumps of concrete they'd thrown in the hedge?

    Had to evict 40 frogs from one area alone. They're becoming a major tripping hazard!

  • That looks great -  the room looks so well proportioned - and I do like that beautiful china dog - it's amazing how lifelike they are isn't it?

    It's been such a vile day here that I haven't even gone out to put the rubbish into the bin. Going into hibernation mode, dozing off during the afternoon.

    Wish I could have sent some rain to you obelixx. . . .
