Good morning - just. I was woekn early by rain followed by sound effects. Not as shwoy as the night before but it rained steadily for the next 3 hours and gave us 16mm of rain. Brilliant because I finished planting my treasures in teh island bed yesterday and just need to slot in some anemone de Caen corms I've soaked and sow some annual seeds in the gaps.
It's much cooler today - so far - at only 20C so a good day for sanding. Not a BH here today but we've just had Ascension weekend where many take Friiday off to make a 4 day weekend.
Internet can be slow here too but I just give Photobucket a whole folder of photos to upload and leave it to it. Re-sizing to post individual photos on here can be painfully slow and I've noticed nopattern to when speeds are better or worser. Pity as I love seeing photos too and am saving the Chelsea thread photos for a good long sit with a coffee after I've done my jobs.
I had 3 different boots for my my feet. The first was a toe to ankle Fort Knox jobby when they thought I had a cracked metatarsal. The second was completely flat with just enough webbing to hold it on when the stone-age idiot at Namur told me my detached toes and metatarsals were inoperable. The last was an ankle jobby with a shape that put all the weight on teh heel and let the foot rool for wearing after he'd shortened and re-attached the offending metatarsals to my toes and sorted out my bunions while he was on. Brilliant and not too hot and sweaty.
I'm sure you look very glam Dove. Well done.
Have a good holiday everyone - even if you have to work.

Lovely rain, which the garden is desperate for, plus I am pooped from spending yesterday digging large holes for Cannas and Dahlias.
Have just been watching a Grey Wagtail flitting round the mud at the edge of the pond, collecting insects.
Looks like we may have to cancel our Japanese holiday, as they may not let me in, due to some of the medication that I am on. At the moment the Japanese embassy are not being very helpful.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
OMG Amberspy ... or OML as my rather more sophisticated niece says Four Months .... if I can't drive for four months that's going to cause difficulties getting to our holiday in Cornwall in September ... OH doesn't drive!!! Better start saving for the rail fare
GWRS ...... glad you understand ........ and of course, if our computers are spying on us as much as people say they are ......... I like to present a good image to the world
I know but I was told I made it worse so don't panic ??it was nitemare for me as I couldn't drive I really did take driving for granted ???lucky my hubby drives so panic was over he did everything ,some days I had bribe him with breakfast out in the end so we go out ???
Nice photos - the sort we used to stick in an album called 'Memories'. I love digital photography and being able to take hundreds of shots for no cost - but there's nothing quite leafing through an old photo album. We do print out some of the pictures we take now - but they're nearly all landscape ones for putting on the wall.
There are a few websites that allow you to put your digital photos into a book, with notes and little doodles and whatever you used to do with a photo album. Then they print it into a book and post it to you, so you still have an album to leaf through. I made one a while back with photos of our big building project and have since been making a book for each year. A yearbook with about 30 or 40 double sided pages (I get 150 or so photos in one) costs about £30. They can get more expensive if you go for lay flat pages and thicker paper, but that's a wedding album sort of thing.
No, I don't have any commercial interest in any of the companies that do these. Just sayin'
Glad to hear you're fully coffeed up and looking fine Dove .
I'm heading out with the strimmer. Just thought you all might like to see my new flower, just out this morning, bearded iris 'Feu Du Ciel'. I only planted it a few weeks ago - not sure if it'll survive our cold claggy winter but fingers crossed because I think it's lovely, even under our soft grey sky this morning.
see you later chaps

Neal 4. Starting a separate thread for your question, might be a good idea, but my understanding, is that the fungi have to be in contact with the roots, to be of any benefit.

Dr visit was ok. Apparently heart is behaving normally. New medication to try out in case my symptoms are from the current tabs.
They've had 20 cm snow last night in both Vic and NSW alpine areas. That'll get the resort operators excited for the long weekend coming up - official opening of the ski season. Don't fancy travelling up to Canberra on the highway with all the extra traffic as well the extra police patrols. I'll probably keep to my little corner of the world until they settle down.
Still very hot and sunny on the Western edge of Burgandy. Hope Obelixx's rain goes south to home in Dordogne, but OH says he's watered everything.
Took the little granddaughters to nursery school this morning. Will take them to see their Mummy and new baby sister after school. Been to local SM and have washed up and tidied son's kitchen. Seen weeds in the garden but it's too hot now. Wearing a summer dress.
Welcome Neal 4. I agree with punkdoc, the fungi have to be in contact with the roots.
