Glenys, do you get to sit in air con like me? We set it 24c and it's just right when sitting in shorts and tank top with bare feet. Mind you, I wandered into our bedroom this afternoon for something and couldn't believe how very warm the carpet was. It felt as though it had an electric blanket under it. Same on the back concrete, which I might add is under a roof. Roll on autumn.
since it's once again after 1am, I need to get some shut eye. Catch you all tomorrow.
For some reason I have yet to fathom the only British newspapers on sale round here are the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail. Not my type at all except for gardening in the Telegraph.
I have trays! and lids! Whoopee. We've also been to a big DIY store to look at assorted beams and sleepers for making raised beds and I think I might just reconfigure the beds or it'll be too very frightening and OH will faint.
Pat - we don't have carpet anywhere, just rugs here and there. Hope you manage a good sleep despite the heat.

Funny how we're all so different though! I was looking at the hills on the other side of Glasgow, and even the lower ones are all white. I can get a decent view of the Arrochar hills and Ben Lomond for a minute or two from the road near my house, on a clear enough day. Hoping to get out and get some of the 'white stuff' at the weekend
Chilly enough and cloudy enough for a little of it here tonight...
Not gardening weather anyway!
The Daily Mail - what's that about? I've always wondered....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Re the Daily Mail... yes, I agree with you lot - not a "newspaper", just a "paper". Best use is lighting the fire or putting muddy boots on.
Obelixx, you can get subscriptions to such things as "Guardian Weekly" and "The Week" (the latter is a varied compilation of reported news from reputable sources worldwide) if they are the sort of publications which float your boat.
Snow on the neighbours' cats when I went out to empty the rubbish just now. They were sitting beside the dustbin looking pitiful. I'm not to let them in or feed them until 6... how do they know that I'm the neighbour with the key? Their owners only left at lunchtime.
I couldn't cope with Pat's or Glenys's level of heat either, Fairy. We took OH's youth choir to Florida one August for a festival and nearly melted. Give me northern Britain or Scandinavia any time...
Hope you get some clear walking weather over the weekend. Looking forward to the photos already!
Chicky, I can't smell most witch hazels either, though sarcococca is no problem. I wonder if anyone's studied what enables different people to smell things differently? Freesias are well known as flowers which have a gorgeous scent for some people and none at all for others. Perhaps our "receptors" are wired differently; but if so, why??
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Hi again everyone.
Hosta, if only!

TEE HEE.
You know you've hit rock bottom when even Wikipedia ban you as "unreliable"
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

*shivers*
Plasterer booked (one weekend to board, one to skim)
Electrician awaiting confirmation
Log stove fitter primed ready to leap into action
Realisation that as our desired plasterer only works weekends we'll be without electricity for about 10 days...
Still. We'll be painting come the end of March!
Fairy; it's been trying to snow here all day. Just enough to make the already hyperactive children skittish.
Today was lovely and sunny but bitterly cold with a NE wind. Even moving mulch all day wasn't much fun.
Raynaud's kicking in from time to time.

Clari, that sounds like progress. You won't know what's hit you when you've got a clean, warm, painted house full of mod cons...
Hard luck about the Reynaud's, Hosta. I assume you've tried the usual things - heated gloves & boots, wrist warmers, vitamin K?
