    Good morning all.

    Decrepit Obxx today.  I managed to fall yesterday and bash my rear left middle and ribs and today I am exceedingly stiff and sore.   Bummer cos today was going to be a morning of painting followed by a pm of walkies and gardening.

    Chappy has turned up with a small tractor to riddle the potager and make it smooth.   Then he'll check the gates in the new fence are OK and that's him done till they come back with a bulldozer to address the pond which is now just a mass of dried bull rush and brambles.

    Kitchen man is here to finish off so this evening was going to be putting everything back but that will have to wait a day or two now.    I might have to find some puzzles to do for today.

    Sorry you've been crook GWRS?   FG - hope your sore bits ease soon or at least in time for next Sunday's walk.  LP - hope his passport comes soon.   There's always Whitsun and other hols. 

    Hello to everyone I've missed and happy gardening or garden dreaming.

    Why, with all the sophisticated telescopes and radioscopes all over the world are they telling us there's a hidden planet and asking for amateur help?

    I think I've caught up a bit now. Yes - off work this week LP. Sorry you're feeling a bit down. No sun today to help either. 

    Fidget - I was still up and showered before the two youngsters had got up! I'm not good at staying in bed and I need a bit of structure to my day, even though I can faff about for a good while if i'm off. image

    Hope you enjoyed the cherry pie AuntyRach  ( image) and all went well yesterday.
