Good Morning All Scorchio! Yay! Have a lovely Sunday

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Rary, you're one of the good guys in the world. Hope you get your hand situation sorted. Must be dreadful.

Dull here, but visitors and I are about to go out with the dog and then it's on with the round of cooking and baking. Young helper from before is one of the visitors and he loves baking bread, and I've promised we'll make Spanish madeleines too. So better get a move on.

Have a great day, everyone.

rary you could ring the secretaries and mention re the letters and find out how long you gave to wait .

Good morning all, bright and sunny here,
Out to the cemetary where the priest says mass and blesses the graves, it an annual thing.

Grandkids are a gift, we get to have a special bond with them.
We have taken ours on holiday, days out and the pantomime every Christmas
Now most of them are grown up they still talk about the great times they had.

Rary, I hope you get the care you need for your hsnd, not pleasant to be in pain.

Snoop, enjoy your day out.

Good morning all.

Another warm day forecast here. Tomorrow even warmer, in the high twenties.

Rary, you sound like a lovely caring grandad. I have very good memories of one of mine, who would take me everywhere with him when I was a little girl. I have wonderful memories of him making me tomato sausage sandwiches on the primus stove in his car boot on the Marine Drive at Scarborough and going to point to point horse races with him. Sadly, he died when I was about 10, and all my grandparents died at a younger age than I am now. In fact it has been very rare for anyone, on both sides of my family, to reach "three score years and ten".

I think I'll go and put a couple of croissants in the oven next.😋

Thanks for the heads up Rary I'll look out for that when I'm getting near to 50.

Hair cut this morning.

enjoy your day

Good Morning All Hot here, but a bit cloudy now. Have a good day

[bramble]

Good morning all.
It's a balmy 20 degs here so it's an outdoor day.

[greenishfing]

Good morning all.

It's a sunny 23°C here at the moment, due to climb a few degrees higher later.

I've got to go to the surgery for blood tests later. I am such a coward when it comes nurses sticking needles in me. I don't really know why as normally it doesn't hurt.

I'll try and get more strawberries while I'm out and about.

[Florence Fennel]

Your hair looks nice Bren
I'm waiting for the Gas Man. We've had no hot water all weekend - good job the shower is independent of the system.

[Florence Fennel]

Oopsie - I've just fiddled with the reset button and it's worked, we have hot water! I'm not cancelling as they are going to do the annual boiler service anyway

[Containergardener]

Hair suits you bren .

GF just think of something nice when having jabs. Like strawberries

Warm day for gardening but not complaining, shorts and floaty top required.

Bren its not a matter of deducting the years once you reach the number of years that you have celebrated, just be thankful that you have seen so many

Good evening, it has been warm cloudy with occasional sunshine, did some weeding then potted on about 60 odd coleus plants and transplanted a good number of nasturtium seedlings, have also sown more nasturtium climbing and trailing seeds as i want to plant them out in the back plot, though before i plant anything i will need to cut down a lot of nettles which i will add to my compost bin, this year i have been adding comfrey leaves into water to make a comfrey tea for feeding the tomatoes, have been doing this for several years, but this year i also have tried filling a plastic box with comfrey leaves adding rain water to fill it up then fitted an air tight lid and left it for about three weeks, once theclid was removed boy what a stink, but water was a lot darker than the usual way and i think a stronger feed so not adding as much to the water, i am trying to see if it makes any diffrence to the tomato but as its an open bed and not tubs or grow bags it will be a bit difficult toget a true assesment, however nothing ventured nothing gained so willsee how thing go.
Have a good day tomorrow and keep passing on the smiles. Goodnight
