Good morning Monday

[Ally]

Good morning.

Hot enough to roast a chicken without the oven...Jen take note.

Not even 7.30 and I'm just off for a run - beat the heat being the motto of the day.

Back for a coffee and a swim.

I need to hoover and do some delicate dusting.

Then zone out by the pool wiv me book.

Have a great day everyone.

[Kaz]

No roasting chickens here, it's sunny but a bit fresher - the best kind of English summer's day

Morning Ally, I did my delicate dusting yesterday

Morning all Well either my hay fever has quadrupled with a vengeance, or I have a cold brewing I want to go to WW - Chris wants me helping out, to support my application as Leader - so as I don't want to 'throw a sickie' I'm choosing to believe it's hay fever, and will dose myself up with antihistamines and go

Have a good Monday everyone, I hope Osc's holiday is going well xxxxx

Morning
Lovely here but yes fresher too, forecast is for about 21 so perfect

Fingers crossed for the hayfever Kaz x
Not sure what we're doing today, I've been up ages but seem to be on a go-slow

Thanks to the mess of Bb's work boxes he has no job to go out on today. We might go to the other garden centre; yesterday we went to the big nursery just up the road and got a few plants so I do now have three pots done - better a bit late than never
I need a new shrub for the front, one has died and I can't even remember what it was It's a tricky spot, under the big bay window so it's very dry, plus it gets full sun all afternoon, so I'll have to have a think.
Hope you all have a good day

God morning all.

It's fresher here this morning, with rain forecast for later.

We are off shopping soon, then I expect we will be watching the tennis.

Have a nice day.

Morning all

Kaz, hope it is just hayfever but maybe double up on the Vit C just in case? Or get yourself a bottle of night nurse for tonight and knock it on the head before it starts should it be a cold
Di, what about either a hebe or potentilla; they're both quite OK with dry sunny spots.
Good luck with the decorating Cruiser; hope it stays dry for you

Ally & Ton, enjoy the sunshine - it's rather overcast here

Usual work day for me; the big boys are all out so hopefully it'll be a nice quiet one. Had a super busy week and weekend last week so now looking forward to a much much quieter week.

have a lovely day all x

Funny you happened along meriad, I almost asked in my post whether you had any ideas

I had a lovely hebe out there which didn't like it at all; it got really, really leggy; long wavy branches and few flowers. Cutting it right back didn't help, so I moved it to the back garden where it's now looking lovely after a couple of years.
There is a potentilla out there too, which survives although not brilliantly
The hydrangea, which was a bargain, has done really well but I don't particularly want another one - I don't even like them that much lol, but knew they do well here as most gardens have them
Have a feeling the dead one might have been a different hebe too...the lesson is to not spend much as it's not likely to survive!
I might wait till Saturday and go see the shrub man at the market, he knows what he's talking about and is good value

Morning all.

Work for me until 12pm then home for lunch before I head to the allotment for a few hours (weather permitting as rain is forecast). Then collect L from school, drop her at my mums where I'm picking S up (she's on her work experience at the old people's home this week -the one she really didn't want to do) to take her riding whilst I go for a run.

Chill out this evening I think.

Evening all
Only one child home tonight, Missy is staying the night at my in laws. Tomorrow I take Oliver to a ministry of ed development check, not really sure what to expect, nor hope for.
