    Morning Dove, Rubbish. Isn't it?

    Curtains open to reveal a lovely pink flushed sky and light breeze. Not bad at all.

    Devon.
  • We've had some pink fluffies too, but that stage has passed. Now we have grey clouds with some brighter chinks between them.

    let's hope the chinks win out.

    Good morning.  I was awake late too but that's because I was googling greenhouses and polytunnels....  Polytunnels really do look good value for money.   So much to ponder.

    Up early (for me) this morning to find it has finally stopped raining and we have blue streaks between the grey and cream streaky highlights in the clouds.    Once the sun is properly up I shall do coat no 9 on the stripes (should do the trick, fingers crossed) and then potter outside.

    Coffee first!

    Morning all.

    Grey and damp here too, no chinks.

    Sounds funny to read that Pat is planting her tomatoes!

    Morning all!

    Bright but chilly here. I need to bath the dog and then his lordship is off out for the day with a friend. He's just asked if he can take my truck. I'd best rethink my plans; I was going to go to Eyam; but the views are always so much better when you can see over the hedges!

    French connections all on parade then!  I have learned a new word - éparse - to describe expected scattered showers on Wednesday.  Sunny spells today which will be good for walkies.

    Hope you don't get too soggy running DD but you'll enjoy a lovely hot shower afterwards, surely.

    I have now catalogued all my flower seeds........   Hundreds of euros saved on seed orders but OH still doesn't see my economic reasoning.  Next thing is to do the veggies........ 

    More coffee and painting first.

    Have a good Sunday whatever your weather and activities.

    Morning allimage  rain has cleared and blue sky here ???

    Off for a days Xxxx shopping at Bluewater - meeting up with sisters and nieces.  We do it every year, and although it seems incredibly early, it works well.  By this evening my list will a) be made and b) have lots of ticks on itimage.  Plus its always a fun day out - fuelled by much coffee and cake.  Will put Chicklet on her train back to Nottingham at Ebbsfleet, and bring my niece back with us, ready to return her to Uni (Egham) on my way to work tomorrow morning.  Nice that even though they are beginning to fledge, the youngsters are still keen to join in these thingsimage
