  • Morning

    Another sunny day here that'll mostly spent in the garden, a bit of shopping then jam making later this afternoon.

    My trusty trackball mouse if failing more and more to move around the screen, I've done the usual clean and checked drivers so this morning I'm using a ordinary mouse, it doesn't feel the same but I'll see how it goes.

    Enjoy your day

      • Robin safely back in the garden Bren

        Is there still enough tea in the pot for me Snoop?…I can never turn down a brew….so long as it’s not too strong. Ta muchly!

        I’m feeling very chuffed with myself this morning!
        I finally found the company which sold our blackout curtains for the camper ( I had to cut and sew them to fit). But I didn’t have enough for a couple of windows in our bedrooms …so , at long last, I can order some more!. Very chuffed to say the least

          • Good morning all, it's another lovely sunny day.
            Our dog has had successful surgery and is now home recovering.

            Nicos, your woodpidgeon are all here in Dublin, we have sn abundance of them.
            Basic domestics this morning and then some time in the garden.

            Have a good day all.

            And when your back stops aching,
            And your hands begin to harden.
            You will find yourself a partner,
            In the glory of the garden.

              • Yippeee…thunder and lightning?…wasn’t expecting that!

                We started off eating pizza outside as it was 23C outside and 19C inside…in full sun…..and watched the clouds, then rain roll in

                I love how the weather changes so quickly here..probably because we are amongst rolling hills.

                That was a lovely end to a hard working sesh in the garden

                Tis a ‘snuggle down in front of TV and maybe the fire later’ kind of evening now.

                • I’ve just checked on the ‘live lightning ‘ site in case we are due for more…and not a sight of it!…just shows these sights aren’t always accurate!

                        • Morning all.

                          Lovely to hear Hibou is feeling so well, Nicos.

                          Feels a bit chilly out, but bright and clear. Absolutely no plans for today, I'll take it as it comes. Supposed to be hot, so maybe a bit of reading in the sunshine, my garden is so small there's really nothing needs doing at present. I planted out some cosmos yesterday but it was not easy finding space for them. I normally put them where I've pulled out forget-me-nots that have gone over, but with the cosmos being ready early because of April's good weather, the f-m-n's are still looking good so I'm loath to pull them out.

                          Anybody else up? GF? Nicos? Come into the kitchen, there's plenty in the pot, and fresh cheesy foccaccia.

                          • Morning MH…’n n’alln’all

                            I’m up!…been pottering around for over an hour!
                            My tea is cold, so I was about to make another one , so yes please!
                            And ooo…yes please to some foccaccia !

                            I’ve been clearing up the kitchen after yesterday’s pizza. How can fine semolina get absolutely everywhere?

                            OH has grown cosmos for the first time ever…we’ve loads of it. How far apart should they be planted to make nice clumps please?

                            • This morning’s gift from Hibou was almost a snail
                              I say almost , because she couldn’t pick it up.
                              It was one of those brown, edible Burgundy snails about 5cm big , (fortunately heading away from our veggies…unless it had already had its fill and was heading off for a siesta?) but it was very stuck to the paving slab waving its antennae around at her whilst she tried to pat it with her paw
                              It was too dark to take a photo unfortunately…but what a lovely start to the day .

                              Hope everyone has a great day…we’ll be visiting a small vide grenier at some point, hoping to pick up some seedlings/ plants.

                              • Nicos, I put my cosmos twelve to fifteen inches apart, when they are closer together they need less support as they hold each other up. That said, I don't support mine. If the wind pushes them over, I leave them as they are to turn back up to the sun. They make excellent cut flowers too.
