Morning all

Much needed rain at the moment. Problem is that once it starts it forgets to stop!
Looks like a day indoors is called for. Plenty to do though so TTFN.

Morning all.

Had some light rain in the early hours, now the clouds are clearing so looks like a another dry day. I could really do with a heavy downpour to refresh the soil if anyone has any spare rain. Cooler today too.

Have a good day all.

Morning, tea’s cold Mr.B. I overslept!! OH has gone to work and I didn’t hear a thing...scary!
Well it’s dull, cool and breezy this morning but the weather lady on our local tv channel has promised things will change after today...we will see!
Enjoy your day everyone...the haircut too Bren! x

Good morning all.
Dull and cool here but the rain has passed.

Going to IKEA with my daughter this afternoon and it's her half day off.

My daughter in law just called to tell me there are birds, and an injured birding her attic.
She is in a panic.

Have a good day all.

Been shopping, it was nice and quiet. Back home now, enjoyed an apple turnover and coffee while flicking through the Lidle excitement (their weekly magazine), now wondering what to do next. Probably pop down the plot to pick veg for tonight's meal.

It has stopped raining here, but doesn't look promising and looks decidedly chilly and windy (haven't been out yet). The forecast looks better for the weekend however. I actually got quite a lot done at the allotment yesterday so I will try to get some more done later.

[Bren In Pots]

Afternoon, hair, shopping and baking done no gardening I got rained of. Did harvest salad and strawberries then water the GH but that’s it.

[greenishfing]

I've tried twice to set off to the allotment and then changed my mind as it started raining again. In the end I decided to do some batch baking instead.

[Mr Bones]

Bands of light rain kept coming our way too this afternoon, followed by a cold northerly breeze so the outdoor cukes are now back under fleece.

[Snoop Puss]

Afternoon all.

Internet troubles again. But better late than never.

No word yet from LD about how the move is going/has gone? Fingers still crossed for you, LD.

Like the idea of the 'Lidl excitement', Mr Bones.

Frankie is currently outside, trying to pull a plastic cloth off my potting table. Good luck to him. It's well and truly weighed down. Hope it keeps him occupied for a bit. He went on another dog walk with Mr Snoop this morning. Wasn't half as tired out as yesterday. Seems like he knew to pace himself and not go shooting off quite so much. Sounds like between us we haven't half had some cats.

My veg patch is starting to look good. Still very disappointed with the French beans, but everything else looking green and perky. Apart from the peas, but the less said about them, the better. Maybe I should just give up on peas except overwintering Douce de Provence. Got more seeds to sow but from hereon in, it's pretty well weeding and watering. No more land works. Mr Snoop has worked wonders for me.

Hope you all have a lovely evening. Smiles have been floating around here today. Sorry about that. I'll try and encourage them to travel further afield tomorrow.

Anyone watching the tennis? there's a lass "wa haying" on every shot, what an irritating, if somewhat talented individual, I shall put my headphones on and listen to some music instead.

[Nicos]

Evenin n’alln’all

Nope - I didn’t oversleep
wet wet wet….so we decided to take out the camper and just read and eat a chilli con carne I’d put in the freezer for the camper.

Still out in the middle of nowhere listening to Irish music inside the camper.

Very calming….absolutely what we needed tbh.

Its Weeeekend peeps!
