Morning all

Nicos thanks for the sun it arrived safely.

Sunnyhere this morning, not a cloud in the sky ( to change later) but its a cool 6degrees .
More pottering today as due to be a warm one. Might do a bit of pruning between us and neighbour again.
Whatever you do enjoy your day, keep hydrated and I will send the icecream van round

Morning all.

Going to be a grim day today. Already in the low thirties and it's not even 8.30 am here... I shall be taking refuge in my basement cave for as much of the day as possible.

Not much on the cards, or at least not yet. Except brunch, washing up and a good long nap.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning.

I've been awake for ages again and it feels uncomfortably warm here. I'm thinking I'll just get up and have a cool shower and a coffee, but I know I really haven't had enough sleep.

Mr GF has just awoken now so at least l've got someone to talk to.

Evidently we've got a 77% chance of rain in the early hours of tomorrow morning, so hopefully that may make things less sticky.

I usually do a grory hop on a Wednesday but I'm trying to find excuses to put it off today. I also need to have a trip to one of the bigger supermarkets for chicken livers in the next few days as I
have been really fancying some pâté recently and I don't really like the taste of any shop bought ones. Nice pâté, crusty bread and salad....yum!

It's definitely more reasonable hour now for getting up, so I think I'll make coffee. Mr GF has, of course, dropped back to sleep.

Mornin n’alln’all

Ice cream van CG?…oooo….yes please!
A 99 for me please with raspberry sauce if they have any?
My favourite always used to be the oyster wafer …mostly the one dipped in chocolate then coconut. Are those still around?

Domestics for me today and a quick grory hop

keep cool and hydrated folks and importantly- enjoy your day whatever you get up to!

Good morning all. A sunny morning g and 17 degs.
All the plants in the greenhouse are watered and we have decided to have a day out.
Driving up the coast to one of our old haunts.
I'm sure we'll have some ice cream at some stage as well.
Have a good day and stay cool.

We finally had our storm!
Mostly thunder and a few big sploshes of rain…and now it’s reduced to flashes in the night sky.
Very humid.

Our mirabelle tree is dropping about 4kg fruit a day. Never, ever had this many so it’s quite a shock! Absolutely delicious though!

Grory hop tomorrow instead, after that, I’m not quite sure.

Hope you had a lovely day at the coast bramble? You have some stunning countryside in your area .

Morning
An unexpected shower in the night and just now, but due to improve for the rest of the day
Grory hopping here today and then I have no plans as yet.

[Nicos]

Mornin n’alln’all

1st August already…wow…that’s suddenly arrived

So far it’s sunny and humid , but thankfully not as hot as previously so hopefully some time in the garden today …and no doubt collecting more mirabelles off the floor!
First of all though, a grory hop!

Enjoy your day peeps whatever you get up to!

Morning all.

Quick in and out today, as I'm running behind and have another dentist's appointment to get to. Gotta go...

Have a great day, everyone. Catch you later.

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Heavy rain earlier and more forecast. Still very warm. Have a good day

[greenishfing]

Good morning all.

A hot and sticky night here, but eventually we got some rain which seemed to clear the air slightly. The rain has gone now but there are still drops hanging from the washing line and glistening amid the grass.

I absolutely must do a grory hop today. I have been putting it off and my list is ever growing.

[bramble]

Thank you Nicos, yes, we had a lovely day out. We are lucky with our scenery and coastline. 😍

Good morning all, no rain here but it's a dull morning.
Out with my daughter as she has a free day, looks like a bit of retail therapy.

Good luck at the dentist Snoop, You must be used to it by now.

Nicos, how wonderful to get such a good crop, I love mirabelles

Have a good day all.
