    We're huge Chris Packham fans too ... don't agree with everything he says but as you say Liri, incredibly bright and knowledgeable ... I also love spotting the strategies he uses to keep his autistic brain focussed on the job in hand ... brilliant self-awareness and so clever.  

    Michaela can be a bit hyper ... maybe a bit less coffee perhaps ... but again she knows her stuff even if she occasionally overdoes the disingenuous 'everyman' role.  

    Martin Hughes-Games is more knowledgeable than he may appear at first ... he has a good CV ... and at least now that he's had his hair cut the irritating tossing of his locks has ended.  I don't mind long hair on a man ... I'm a big fan of Neil Oliver ... but constantly tossing his head to get his hair out of his face was annoying ... why not tie it up?  

    As for the new lass Gillian Burke ..... another impressive CV and I think that as soon as she gets over the understandable slight nervousness of 'live tv' she'll be a real asset.

    Good morning.  it's feeling cool and fresh here but will start heating up again soon enough so I'm going to press on with scrubbing "produit" off the furniture before I go and sow or plant things.   Then it can dry out for a day or two before I feed it all before the final finishes go on.

    Yvie - if it's not too late, have a great holiday.

    Dove - Having my hair washed is the only bit of going to a hairdresser I enjoy.  The rest is pure stress. 

    Busy - I too have curtains to sow/alter/hem but would rather be outside weeding and planting.  I'll have to get on with them at some point as SIL will be sleeping in the room I haven't finished painting or dressing yet.....

    Chicky, Joyce - Lovely colourful summer displays.  Do you sow your nemesias or buy plugs?

    Greetings to everyone.  Have a great day.

    Theresa May's censorship gagging attempt has , rightly, failed.

    Hello everyone. Still sprawled on lounge chair, even nodded off about 4 o'clock, then woke with a start in pitch dark about 5 o'clock , turned on my lamp, and woke Hubby up as well. We'd both nodded off in the lounge room. image. He'd been doing something on his lap top and I'd been watching a colouring tutorial on YouTube.  Just shows how gripping they were.

    i decided I'd better do something about dinner, stumbled over to the fridge for a bit of a look and luckily found some leftovers from yesterday. Quick and easy and all done now. image

    Watching TV, thinking about an early night. Not sure, but I think we've already seen Michael Mosley on eating meat, but might have a small peak just in case it's different. We could of course watch Gogglebox UK, but I have to be in the right mood for some of them.

    catch you later.

    Beautiful Pat.

    Today I've been to Lincoln for work: I was very tempted to stay for a few hours to explore but another time. Is it just me or does the cathedral follow you everywhere?

    I had a late night working on a project with a friend; 23:30 I was recording bedtime stories; little bears yawns were very realistic.

    Now having a much needed mug of tea in the garden to the sound of a blackbirds, and five young girls next door. They certainly have a voice on them.

    Clari .... you're right about Lincoln cathedral ....... it's 'everywhere' .... and if you do go back you must go here http://www.brownspieshop.co.uk/ ... fabulous food and very reasonable prices .... but do be careful ... there's a low beam as you go downstairs

    Son's curtains will wait as he hasn't put up the rail yet. So I weeded son's flower bed, then we went to a GC and I bought some plants for it, which I have planted.

    It was French Mother's Day on Sunday so tomorrow Son is taking me and DIL to a restaurant for lunch, the posh one he went to with his clients, tomorrow before I go home. Little GDs will be at school and playgroup, we'll take baby Elise.
