Morning
Any tea going ?
Its dull grey here with a forecast of sunshine ? Hmm maybe later then.
A couple of daffodils are finally opening, hurray.

I did get another couple of hours sleep in the end. I'm now drinking a mug of coffee. It's 8°C and sunny outdoors and is forecast to go up to 18°C later today.

The mobile hairdresser is booked for lunchtime. My hair has been neglected for the last few months and desperately needs a cut rather than to be hacked at by me (only the fringe)!

Does your self-seeded peach tree also give nice fruit, Snoop?

I got a refund cheque from the car insurance company yesterday. Obviously Mr GF was a considerably higher risk driver than myselfalthough I was the main driver on the policy. I always knew he was far better at getting the car off ice or out of mud, where I had got it stuck, and parallel parking even though he couldn't always remember where we were going.

Off to get more coffee.

I hope Nicos is enjoying her birthday road trip.

Good morning all, it was overcast to start with but its now sunny and 16 degs.

Mothhawk, know how you feel, I too am plagued with grape hyacinths and wild garlic, so hard to get rid of.
I dread to think what my garden will be like when I get home, need to save my energy.

Snoop, your peach tree sounds very picturesque,

GF, glad your managing to get some sleep, I am sure you need it.

Have a good day all.

Morning
A grey start again, though yesterday did eventually get out lovely. Think I will tackle the grory hop this morning. Planning some bbq's this weekend while the weather is nice.
There is plenty to do outside but there's later or tomorrow. Dog is fast asleep, I think a few short walks today rather than an early long one. Also need to call at the vet.

Hair is nice gf

Anyone for a brew?

Morning

A misty start here but the suns burning it away, its going to be 15c later. The second batch of laundry is nearly ready to go out, after that probably a Grory hop.

Your hair looks nice GF xx

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Hope your dog's well, CG.

Dull here today and a bit chilly. I managed a bit of weeding early on before Jack decided he'd come and join me and enlarge the big holes I see he has already dug... Mr Snoop reckons better fencing might be needed.

On the cards for today, a huge ton of work, sadly.

Have a great day, everyone.

[greenishfing]

Good morning.

A bit more sleep, but I then had an awful nightmare in which Mr GF was back in the hospital that he was in last year. I woke up in a panic.

Annoyingly, the hairdresser never turned up yesterday! I texted her and it was definitely her fault.

At the moment the window cleaner is cleaning my windows. He appears to have changed to his Summer wardrobe!

Good morning all, a hazy start to the day..forecasting dust haze, but its 18 degs here.
We are going to the big market today so we will be taking the bus down the coast.

GF, what a disappointment when you were needing your hair done..

Not a lot else to report, so have a good day all.

[Florence Fennel]

Happy anniversary Mr & Mrs Rary x

[bramble]

Great news on Mrs Rarys improving health.
I hope you both have a lovely day. 🥰

[Nicos]

Afternoon n’alln’all

Yep …I’m back and had an absolutely wonderful few days away thanks!
Lots of sunshine, wind and very quiet places to camp up…very uplifting tbh.

Rary!…many congrats to you both- hope you both have a lovely day xxx

Well…I used to be rather proud of my grape hyacinths spreading through my gravel driveway!…OH’s latest ‘toy’ is a double flame thrower..and yes, you guessed it…he managed to wipe out most of them
Fortunately the pretty little violets have started to flower, so I’ll forgive him

GF…I’ve been thinking a lot about you whilst I’ve been away. These very difficult times in life are hard to cope with, but as everyone here says, we’re here in thought if not in person.
I must say though, I love your ‘proposal’..very romantic to say the least!..practical, but very romantic!
Mine wasn’t as romantic as that tbh…
After going out with myOH for 8 years we were standing under a cherry tree which was just coming out in blossom and I casually said that when I get married I’d love to have my photo taken under a mass of cherry blossom..and OH said yeh, why not, it sounds lovely I was t sure if he took that as a proposal from me as it wasn’t intended to be one…and when I asked ( just to make sure I’d understood him correctly..like you sometime need to with men - don’t you Rary?) …so I said me???…yup….what, this year?…yup. I nearly fell over backwards. Needless to say, we were married within the month
And nope…I wasn’t pregnant, but loads of people did ask!

Its lovely looking back on happy times…sad they are gone , but lovely that we were lucky enough to experience them.
Lets always be grateful for what we have eh?
