You're having a tough time of it too, Yvie. Hope they get better soon; at least scarlet fever is easily treatable these days, and not the horror it was in former generations... makes them miserable though.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Just got back from buying more paint and Tonic and met our garrulous gendarme neighbour mowing his verges. Managed to escape after only 20 mins cos I need to finish the painting while the light is still good.

Best wishes to Lily P and her family - awful not being able to just be there. Hope baby makes a full & speedy recovery. Sorry also to hear Yvie's news - haven't heard of anyone having scarlet fever for yonks - best wishes to you and them as well.
Poor Wonky - very disappointing on the greenhouse front and a PITA with the car. At least the person responsible had the decency to stop - hope it's not too inconvenient for her. Has she looked at Freecycle and other free 'recycling' sites to see if anybody else wants rid of a greenhouse or perhaps a cold frame?

Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Did someone say gin??I've still be wanting to try them new gins ,the rhubarb and raspberry one but keep forgetting when we have a night out to try it ??
Well as you may have all got the gist, its been a pants day! Thank you all for encouragement and commiseration! Bolts had all rusted on so frame bent when trying to undo! Only after I'd labeled every bit of glass and pole! tried freecycle, they go in seconds and I always seem to miss them Topbird, even though I check it umpteen times a day just in case! Just ordered brand spanking new green house on credit card, I need it for work, its my birthday next week and so Dove has made a sizable contribution as birthday present. thank you Dove, yes your delicates can have winter storage!
Hope your feeling better GWRS and Obelixx, Hosta hope the dentist was kind
Lovely kitchen BusyL, hope you have managed to tackle the weeds and yellow flowers you were battling.
Yvie, hope the tidlers get better soon, best wishes
Lilyp sorry you have had such a worrying time, sending you best wishes and hugs
Dove, no fires before 7pm in residential area!!!!! You law breaker!
Going to make a cuppa and collapse, best wishes to all you lovely folks, have a lovely evening x

Wonky - your new greenhouse will soon pay for itself in terms of what you will save on plants A good investment. Wish I had the space for one..
