LG ((hugs)) come and sit on the sofa with me and watch the tennis ... we can both put our feet up on my big Brazilian leather pouffe It's sometimes tough being 27 isn't it ? We don't bounce like we did when we were 26
There's a wren singing in the garden ... it's so loud I've had to turn the tennis commentary up

Thanks Dove. Nowt like a Brazilian pouffe when you're weary, eh? I'm not pleased by my reduced bounce, but that's life I guess. Feeling a bit more normal now, after a more or less wasted day.
I might watch Room too. I thought the book was very good. It has certainly stayed with me.
My goodness it has been hot here today, and no air movement at all. Tomorrow even hotter, but right now a little breeze has got up and it's much more bearable.
My French beans are almost at the top of their supports, AND my courgettes have flowers ('scuse the rookie excitement but I've never grown courgettes before) - woohoo! And the sparaxis that I bought after getting an ID on here last year has its first, incredibly intense, red flower.
A few chores this evening, now it's cooled down a bit, I think. Tomorrow looks like a wilt-on-the-sofa day.

Nothing wrong with the odd wilt day LG. Had one myself today which ended up spent indoors in the cool doing stuff on the PC. Finally tackled some painting at 5pm and then pot shifting and dead heading roses and tidying up a wisteria. BBQ dinner outside and then walkies at 9:30 so the dogs didn't overheat.
Just cooling down for half an hour before my shower.
My veggies are all still in pots and troughs and cells but OH says he'll rotavate a strip for me so I can plant out my red onions from their cells and get the sweetcorn in too as it is ready to romp after being sown late. We have already harvested 2 courgettes and 2 cucs and there are toms and peppers and squashes forming. Very exciting after last year's total non performance in the Belgian garden.
Never heard of The Room but will record it and have a look.
I hope everyone is coping with the heat and that the injured and poorly are healing/mending/getting better.

Evening all, best wishes to all those who are ill or ailing, I posted a really long reply last night to everyone (including BL about tea cups) at about 3 in the morning, (couldn't sleep) but it seems to have disappeared.
Anyway, all is well with my world, hectic but positive, Sat in the garden as it is so hot but can hardly see the screen as moths are swarming to the light.
Anyway, I wish you all well, I am buzzing around like a woman possessed but extremely content with my lot. Thank you for all the good wishes and support that has got me here. My new garden has so much potential I just can't wait to get started, but I suppose I need to attend to customers in the tea room first. I am considering offering discount to those that bring nice cuttings, what do you think?
Must get some sleep, have a French course on customer service to go to tomorrow! Grandmother sucking eggs springs to mind, but it is compulsory. I think they will serve a good lunch anyway. Networking opportunity too.
Good night all, screen covered now so I give in.

Sorry Pat - couldn't think straight! (should've just looked it up). G'night then!
It's easy to work out, we're 9 hours ahead, so I mentally add 3 and reverse the pm/am bIt
.
Going to bed now.

Hello Forkers
Just popping in with a message for punkdoc. The film "Room" is showing again on Film 4 on Thursday night 9pm.

I thought of you when I saw an advert for it, and you'd expressed an interest in it on the TV thread ?.
Hi everyone - hope you all keeping cool.
Just home after a study day - absolutely boiling in the room! One of the speakers brought iced lollies this afternoon so we all enjoyed that session!
Might find the tennis to watch for a while now until it's watering time...
Afternoon all. I seem to be taking three steps forward two back at the moment with work.
But still; we're going forward!
It's much cooler here today. Very grey and overcast with a gentle breeze.
Thank you so much Kitty.
Very kind of you to think of me and very impressive memory too.
