Morning, I would post an update picture(taken by my wife VC), but don't want to put people off their breakfast, still sore but I am trying a different type of medicine today, Fathers Day treat booked months ago. We go by train(hopefully a steam one ) then on an old vintage bus to the local distillery at Fettercairn for a tour and some whisky tasting!!(I might not be back for a while, carry on all)

^Hope you have a great day, Burnie.

All good here. Bright and dry but temperatures due to rise rapidly to more temps for the time of year. 32 ºC by Friday. Watering will start to take up more time now.

Jobs today: lop some holly oak that's smothering a lovely oak tree behind the house (I'll be doing this in stints), start a few brassicas off (not owning up that they're sprouts...) and sow some more sweetcorn and cucs. With any luck, water up from the well too this weekend, plus earthing up tatties.

Plus, more paid work. Going back to see my Mum in a couple of weeks or so, so need to get it out of the way.

Have a good one everyone. Especially Burnie.

The weather tried to spoil the day out, but we grinned our way through, I didn't know that pipes worked under water lol

I shalln't need to get the hose pipe out today, first rain for a month or more!!

[Florence Fennel]

Raining here too and a bit of thunder. Glad I got everything done. Lunch out tomorrow but I still have a Full English to make in the morning.

[self-contained]

I'm not too far from sunny Sheff (I'm a Sheffielder, born and raised, but living away right now) and we've just had a terrific downpour here too, despite Alexa assuring me that no rain was expected today. All that watering I did this morning! Humph.

Anyway, I also managed to mow the lawn and cut the privet back a bit. Thankfully, I remembered I wanted to use the grass cuttings to hill up my potatoes a bit more so managed to swoosh them to one side before doing the hedge. I haven't done the best job on the hedge as I just have a mini battery powered trimmer rather than a full-blown hedge trimmer. The little trimmer is great for shorter jobs, but really makes my hands hurt when used for a bit longer, especially as my joints are flaring a bit right now.

Otherwise, I have only fed my worms, done some housework and then collapsed into an afternoon nap. First day of my two weeks off work and I have been visited by all the joys of womanhood. So much for the 46 things on my to-do list for today

Evening All

Can you send some rain further south please? Only the overnight type though

Been a busy day over the plots but enjoyed it immensely, especially when my youngest granddaughter (2) popped over for a strawberry and raspberry hunt

Good evening, its nicer now than it has been all day, the temp. today never went above 14 and when it was raining, which it did several times, it dropped to 12, took OH to a factory shop via a GC where I let her buy me a scone, I was getting the coffees, which as being a member of their club I just happened to get free at the FS I picked a pair of trousers as my clothes are beginning to look a bit big on me, fortunately shirts etc. all look ok as I have always needed a bit of breadth across the shoulders, or this looking weight would cost me a fortune, and yes Nicos the weight is still going down now I am for out to the garden for a time. Enjoy your evening

[burnie]

I like my free coffees, Dobbies by any chance?

[Bren In Pots]

Evening we've had either rain or sunshine all day here still have to water my potato containers though luckily i did that between showers so I didn't feel too silly

[rary]

I like my free coffees, Dobbies by any chance?

Yes burnie, and the best of it OH paid the membership as I didn't have enough money with me at the time but no doubt she will remember sometime
