Hello everyone. All this talk of food has come too late. Had lovely toasted Turkish bread with fresh sliced tomato for breakfast with an excellent cup of tea.
Hello Pat (and of course anyone else who's awake). Can't sleep. Hope you can keep cool today.
Slightly worried about the predicted windy weather as next door neighbours (adjoining) are doing a loft conversion, so there's (well-lashed-on) corrugated iron and flapping tarpaulins high in the sky at the moment. If anything does come loose it's going to be very dangerous.
Some blighters (squirrels I think) have had a go at my alliums in pots now! I give up.
Think I might do my online supermarket shop... perhaps it'll send me back to sleep...
'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.'
Oh hello Joyce! How's the weather? The wind is sounding pretty gusty out there, but apparently only 20mph according to the BBC. Supposed to get to 60mph tomorrow. I confess I normally love windy weather but next door's house taking flight is not something I want to see!
Still wide awake. Did the supermarket shop. Drank a cup of hot chocolate. I should probably put the screen away. Hope you can get back to sleep (if you're not asleep already).

Hello you two. I haven't checked in for a while, not expecting anyone to be awake. Hope you can both get some more sleep.
Stinking hot here, so sitting side watching demos by artists on YouTube. Trouble is, I keep nodding off. 3.20pm and feeling dopey? What next. I'll need to go out when it's a bit cooler and turn off the soaker hoses. I bet the water is boiling on the poor plants, but they need a drink
Good morning all Hope everyone has their hatches well battened - especially those of you in the north and west - hang on to your hats!
The car alarm decided to wake the neighbourhood a couple of times around midnight last night. I had to get up and go and open and close doors and windows - no real idea what it thought the problem was, but it seemed to do the trick thank goodness

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
i was sitting in bed with my mug of coffee just now when a wood pigeon landed on the windowsill and scrutinised me intently for several minutes before flying down into the garden. That's not happened before

Just started snowing here Joyce. Think LP will be getting more at the moment where she is. We've not to get that much anyway - 2 or 3 inches. Wet and windy overnight but nothing out of the ordinary.
Was he wanting a hot drink Dove ?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hi everyone. Still hot at 6.50pm, but have the doors and windows open. Sorry to hear you're all getting bad weather. Hope all your rooves and greenhouses are ok. They say we'll get rain over the next three days, but I don't believe them.
Dove, talking about alarms going off, our smoke detector went off at 4.30am a couple of nights ago. Frightened us into instant alertness. Hubby grabbed my indoor ladder, climbed up to the manhole and flashed a torch all through the roof in case there was an electrical fire. Then inspections all around the outside of the house. Nothing to see, but it took us ages to get settled again. Typically we got a phone call at 9am. Could have done with the extra snooze.
im hoping to harvest some lavender tomorrow but can never guess what the weather will be doing. Probably scorching hot of drizzle. Last year just after I'd cut several bunches I looked out the window and there was a large brown snake laying on the path next to the shrub. So, I've asked Hubby to stand lookout this time before I scramble through the shrub with secateurs. ?

Hi SGL and Pat. Have been up since 1am
I also thought about doing an online SM shop but have been writing emails instead.
Raining but no wind here. Hope all's well with neighbour's roof SGL.
