BIt of a Hosta night here but for external reasons. Didn't get to bed till 2am cos I got distracted doing some stuff for my old dance club. When I did get to bed I read a while then nodded off, only to be woken by some critter screeching outside our window. Couldn't tell what - maybe an apprentice barn owl but very static so maybe another critter.
5am cuddles from Cosmos and then later on, after I'd dozed off again he had hysterics and attacked my feet and got a claw stuck! Ouch. Got up and fed them both then full on hysterics and a cuddly Rasta too. I shall be zombie-like later on.
Off to La Tranche-sur-Mer today as they have a bit of a marine fest going on with a flea market and demos and so on. We shall explore and see if we can get to teh sea this time and have a nce lunch somewhere before coming back to mess about with furniture and watering. Cool and cloudy spells today so a bit more comfy than last weekend for strolling.
Busy - arthritic bits don't sound too good but you can help it with diet and exercise. Works for me - so far.
DD - hope you get everything done to your satisfaction and that Charlie can help and feel included.
Dove - good job you ike tennis. Good time of year to be sofa bound.
Greetings all. Hope you have a good day.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Sorry so many of you are having trouble sleeping. It hardly got dark in Finland, but that didn't stop me going to sleep; I had definite problems at 3am though, when the sun was shining through the leaves, and the birds singing fit to bust, including a bittern booming in the reeds and a couple of rival cuckoos claiming their territory. (I suspect it might not be so much fun in midwinter, when they get only a few hours of daylight.) One morning I hopped out of bed and went to look at the lake. It was beautiful and fresh with the scent of lily-of-the-valley and warm pine and birch trees, but then I had trouble persuading myself to go back to bed... OH wore one of those sleep masks, but it made my face too hot & I found I'd ripped it off while asleep.
Hubby's off to conduct a concert in Liverpool this lunchtime, and I was going to go along for support, but he discouraged me on the grounds that it was a long way to go for very little music. I didn't need a lot of persuading that the garden needed me more than he did...
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
LP Hope it stays dry for the Gala Day. Flower Show used to be in August but Council have withdrawn their share of funding and transferred it to the Air show. However there will be a smaller scale flower show at the Racecourse run by very knowledgeable volunteers.
Obelixx, sounds like a pleasant day out for you and OH.
Strong wind has blown over some pots of lilies. I will need to wedge the pots in between some others.
Morning all.,.just! First cool day in yonks! Wearing trousers for the first time in ages. Feels strange!
Pdoc, Prince guitar solo is certainly one of his best! Such a showman! So effortless....for him! I've just found myself crying at I don't know what watching Radiohead at Glastonbury! Can't wait for the Foo Fighters!
Another week until new washing machine gets delivered! off to a friends to use theirs!
Have a good day out Obelixx, sounds as though there is lots to do near you.
I am mobile, thank you. The trapped nerve untrapped itself. Have been weeding but the phone kept ringing this morning so a bit of a late start. Sunny but not so hot, nice cool breeze.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

hGlad you're up and about Dove.
Morning coffee done, now just waiting to be summoned for labourer duty and hoping OH finishes replacing the decking this weekend.

Morning, bit misty here. Hope it stays dry as it's Gsla Day for our village

Finland sounds lovely Liri. Have you posted photos anywhere?
Just on second large mug of coffee here and then shower and out to play. Gardening later, or furniture....
I've tried to post some pictures, Obelixx, but there's been something up with the site and nothing will upload. Maybe later...
