No lay in here GF up at my usual 7-ish we had lots of overnight rain its now a warm but gusty day.

I've got a few things to take to the charity shop but thats about it for plans.

Enjoy your day.

Morning GF, morning all.

Sorry to hear about your BiL, GF. Very frustrating for him. Fingers crossed he doesn't catch whatever it is and can get home soon.

I woke up really early and then nodded off again hours later. So I'm a very late starter today. Too hot already to do any gardening. Rained in the night a bit, so I won't even bother with any watering.

Friends making a surprise visit tomorrow, so better be a work and domestics day in any case.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good Morning All Same weather here Bren. Have a good day

Mornin n’alln’all

I had a really good sleep last night and almost overslept breakfast
We have a friend staying so we had breakfast sitting out in the morning sun on our new patio. First one of the year.

Not quite sure what I’ll do today , catering for sure and some gardening in the shade.
Looks like picking sweet peas on a daily basis will be a thing now. I sowed two jumbo packs of them and have loads of tubs / pyramids coming into flower.
I must hunt out my grandma’s sweet pea vase. Not used it for years, but it’s got to be somewhere!!!

Enjoy your day peeps.
Sorry to hear about your BIL GF…as you’ve said before, hospitals seem to be the best place to pick up bugs.
Fingers crossed he’s ok x

Has anyone seen the moon recently?…It was a lovely colour yesterday evening- and almost full from the looks of it.
Take a moment to look at it if you get a chance.

Right…lettuce to pick…lunch to sort out…
Enjoy your day peeps!
Remember to pass on that lovely smile of yours too

Morning, well after a night of rain we have a beautiful sunny morning.
Didn't sleep very well last night so had a lie in this morning. Not sure it’s a good idea though.
Sorry to hear about your BiL GF, hope he gets home soon.
Have a great day everyone! x

Good Morning All Sunny here. Just waiting for Frank. Have a good day

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Cloudy at the moment this morning. Quite a relief for the eyes, to be honest.

Managed very little yesterday, but Mr Snoop is taking up the slack on the domestics today, so that's another relief! Ive no idea where the time goes at the moment. Nearly mid-summer's day and I've done next to nothing this year. Dreadful.

Right, rather than moaning, wailing and gnashing my teeth, I'd better get on with something.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning all.

It's warm here and it's going to be hot later. I've got the lounge curtains tightly closed at the moment as the sun shines directly in.

I didn't have a very good night's sleep. I think I might strip the bed and get the washer earning it's keep shortly. The burning question is, do I change over to summer bedding or stay with the brushed cotton winter stuff?

A nurse from the surgery rang me yesterday to reschedule my blood tests. Sometimes they are so annoyingly efficient. At least I got to pick who to have the appointment with. (The young one who so far has managed to do it at her first attempt every time and not leave a bruise.) Her appointments are normally on time, or even early, probably because she is so efficient.

I really must put my energy into finding a birthday present for my youngest sister and one for one of my great nephews who both have birthdays later this month.

I've just realised we've got a Friday the 13th this week. Although not overly superstitious I do try not to tempt fate.

Time for more coffee shortly.

[Jay22]

Morning, sunny here too but not particularly warm!
Yes Friday 13th is my OH’s birthday, make of that what you will!😂
Have a great day everyone! x

Morning

Sunshine and temps of around 24c for us today so I've been in the garden earlier.

Enjoy your day.

[Florence Fennel]

I'm potting on some postiplug annuals I put into trays about three weeks ago that don't seem to be growing I'm hoping they'll put on some growth given a bit more space. Frank is barking at everything and nothing. Lord Ginger did a quick exit stage left when he saw Frank here.

[bramble]

Good morning all...sunshine and brightness....
The usual day to day ...domestics, gardening and collecting grandson from school.
Friday 13th...my daughter was born on that day,

In gardening speak...I found an ants nest in one of my pots in the greenhouse yesterday.
I took all the pots out, cleaned the shelf and sprayed the place with white vinegar.
Fingers crossed that will do the trick.

Have a good day all,

Morning n’alln’all

Late start for me.
Already very hot, so not sure how much will get done outdoors,although there is always weeding in the shade.
Actually, collecting debris from the gravel drive would be a good idea as the lads cut back the house ivy yesterday and although they caught most of it on sheets, quite a lot seemed to miss

GF…summer bedding with the option of a blanket on top maybe?

Enjoy your day peeps…and remember to pass on that smile

[Florence Fennel]

Scorchio here, even Frank finding a shady part of the garden. Time for me to slow down too. The trouble is, you can't rely on this weather staying, so trying to get as much done as possible!
