Morning the suns out so I've had breakfast in the garden I can get used to this.

[bramble]

Good morning all. We have had monsoon rain and hail for the past hour. The sky is black and the sun is trying to make an unsuccessful appearance.
Think I may have to spend the morning catching on my ironing.
Have a good day all.

Way too hot here recently for this time of year. Heading up towards 40 ºC in the shade. Had hoped not to need to water today after the big session yesterday, but it was hot and very windy, so everything needed another good drink this morning. Hot at night as well, which is unusual.

One of the old boys came round yesterday. Inspected the tom plants. They passed muster. He says it's likely lots of almond trees will die this year due to drought. They have lots of almonds on them this year due to mild winter and, unlike olive trees, the nuts won't drop and the trees will just gradually dry up. Last year was bad for the farmers. Looks like this year will be even worse. Losing a crop is one thing, losing your trees is something else altogether.

Noticed a thread being closed this morning, is there anywhere on the site which tells us what we cannot discuss on the forum?

[bramble]

I would think religion and politics Jay.
Someone else may have more information.

[Jay22]

Just realised I hadn't said good morning to everyone so good morning everyone! Hope you all have a lovely day!

Thanks Bramble!

Hi Jay, basically it's as bramble said, politics &/or religion, basically because they are all but impossible to moderate with total impartiality, back in the day when I was modding on here there was a thread on the Scottish referendum which was allowed to run purely on a cultural & social basis.

Moring everyone Managed to get on line before computer had a wobble again.
Been to allotment and started putting a load of wood chip down where the raised beds are and blue berry bushes are. Hope to keep the weeds down a bit.
Pulled up my first potato plant up yesterday. Sharps express and the spuds, about 15 of them weighed in at 1lb 13.6 o/z.
So going to sit down now and have a cuppa.
Have a good day everyone

[bearded bloke]

YAY, it lives Cleaned the dirty contacts in the switch in the base & now have a nice hot cuppa

[Martin H]

Afternoon all! Been a busy morning after a late night. I have to go out shortly to meet my visiting mother at Euston, so we had to have a quick wizz round tidying and cleaning ready for the Royal Visit.

At least she's sent the sun down in advance!

Have a good day everyone, I expect you won't feel the impact of the Brexession for weeks yet. Oops sorry, no politics.

Phew!!! Thank goodness for that BB - thought it was breaking news - never mind the EU...!!!!!!!
(At least you'll have a spare tucked away in your cupboard that CG left you for any future kettle emergencies!!)

[noviceveggrower]

Don' t mention Brexit or the EU. The MODS have pointy sticks you know and aren't afraid to use them.

Susie, I have a kettle in the garage, saves getting the kitchen one dirty when I messing with engines & suchlike (but it does get pressed into service in case of emergencies) I also have a telly in there so I don't miss Pointless &/or The Chase
