Plant pauper - same here with duckweed in the pond need to put the stuff in there to help it be removed
Tis a hot day today Went to the New Forest to see Woodgreen wonderboy went around Woodgreen as the villiage had an open day Woody has change some big areas in the garden added more of a prairie look with grasses also made lots of alpine planters
Was really nice to see Woody and his garden he was really busy with visitors also the few gardens right near his garden were open for the first time so great looking around
Every garden we went to that had ice cream/ lollies we brought one, even the pub so that was 4 of them and cool drinks - Lots of walking today and in the heat very still day we needed them
So many nice gardens and great lot of plants, also a lady in her garden gave me a cutting so nice, of a blue flowered plant amsonia orientalis so fingers crossed
Lots of watering here as have put a new lot of turf in garden
Busy-Lizzie your garden will look fab for the open day
Jolly hot here too today and even hotter as we headed inland for the Vendée steam train which runs excursion on Sunday pms. Mr guest is a steam train and model train fan. Came home well satisfied to cook steaks on the new BBQ. Deep learning curve for OH but I decided that BBQ iq mens' stuff so did the salads then let him him wait on me. Instructive!
They're off to Bordeaux tomorrow taking the scenic route.
Busy - maybe need a new hip? I've been finding my left hip a bit naughty for a few weeks and don't really want to think about it but no point putting it off till you're desperate as it puts strain on other arthritic bits.
Joyce - so pleased you're sleeping well. Make hay while you can!
Exhausted now so sorry to all I've missed and best wishes for a good night's sleep or rest.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Dove, I've been on a diet that has low MSG for years because I get arthritis (actually fluid building up in the joints). It's worth googling foods that naturally are high in MSG. They include tomatoes, strawberries, oranges, etc, etc. I have a whole book listing them. I've been known to gain half a stone weight overnight after a bowl of Tomato Soup! All because my joints have filled up with fluid. Very painful.
Joyce, sorry about your extra worries with OH. I must admit that I wondered if a drip might be a problem when unsupervised. I'm glad you had the extra sleep.
Busy, please try to rest. You've been really pushing yourself lately.
Im getting apprehensive that we might get a hot summer again following all that you are reporting. I'd really rather this moist cold.
Right I've surpassed all previous records. 1.5 hours sleep.
I was out watering the garden before it was even light enough to really see what I was doing.
The sun is just hitting the highest trees now and I'm back in for a second cuppa then I'll go and water some more.
Forecast is a heavenly 27C today and I've got to go for my scan this morning. Hoping to be home for a nice afternoon gardening / lake clearing / sunbathing. I wonder which will win.

catch everyone in your morning.
Morning all.
Right I've surpassed all previous records. 1.5 hours sleep.
I was out watering the garden before it was even light enough to really see what I was doing.
The sun is just hitting the highest trees now and I'm back in for a second cuppa then I'll go and water some more.

Hosta, I had your share of sleep the previous night
Seriously, you need to find some solution to the lack of sleep.
Let's hope the scan throws some light on what is causing you the bouts of pain.
Morning early birds. Keep cool today folks and take care all those with hospital stuff going on.
Thanks Joyce and Aunty Rach.
I've just made a pot of tea so will wake Hubby up shortly. We aim to leave at 7.30 to get to Hospital.
Good morning all
G'day Pat 
Good luck with the scan Hosta ... Hope they discover what's wrong so they can sort it out.
More awful news from London ... Isn't there enough tragedy in the world without yet more hatred and intolerance
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hosta, I echo what Joyce said. Best wishes for a successful outcome.
hi early birds.
Hi all.
Too hot to sleep, but absolutely beautiful out there already.
Another day of sitting outside doing nothing, I think.
Hope Ct scan goes well Hosta and hope your OH is better today Joyce.
