Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2020

Good day
Beautiful blue skies greeted me this morning. And here I am on my laptop - it is still working in spite of getting a drenching last night. About midnight a heavy thunderstorm blew in and lots got wet before I could get all the windows shut. We had a 20% chance for rain which usually means none but this time it meant 20% of the night Anyway, very glad this laptop didn't fry and delighted about all the free water. I rejigged my guttering on the greenhouses and this morning the large rain barrel has the most amount of water it has ever had.

This morning is puttering and watching my beloved Corrie. Then this afternoon I'm going to be making the legs for my collapsible staging. I'm using old metal tubing and found that some of the tubes can't be shortened using my pipe cutter so a lot of hack saw work in front of me. And I will pop over to the pub to say hello to some friends, for the first time in nearly 4 months.

Have a lovely day all.

 

Which is a blessing at night. Especially in a gale.. Actually that wears off when you get used to codeine.

Thanks re the weather! They are warning of an extra 30-50 mm imminent. Always wonder why the ocean does not overflow..

 

Just been having a good clear out in my draws and come across a photo of me when I was about 9 on the charity fates float

 

I’m the one on the right, I remember my mum making the wigs from pairs of tights, happy days

 

Good morning all, trust you are well. Have a good day and stay safe and well. God Bless.

 

Aww, lovely pics @Flumpy . What was the float theme??

Woke up to gorgeous sunshine but now it clouding over, so a mixed bag of weather today it seems.
Whatever your weather stay safe and have a fab day.

 

Morning all.. Another long loud night with the gale roaring and rain battering. Punch drunk through lack of sleep. Another day of it they say. Chilly and grey.

Someone mentioned Coronation Street? Not for me but I am binge watching " Heartbeat" online.

I ditched TV totally back way before the new millennium for many reasons. The internet is grand.

 

Good day
Another day of sunshine and going to be a hot one. Hopefully the wind will keep calm so my friend and I can do our zip lining. It got cancelled because of the wind the last time. Apparently a bit of wind can make people on those cables bounce around like bingo balls. @pete I should have made it clearer when I described it- the drop is only about like jumping off a 20 storey building, the run out is fairly long. Not nearly as dramatic as I originally made it sound. Ignominious moment here..

I'll just be watering all the pots before I head out.

@shiney I hope you get a reasonable quote. Sure sounds like a nasty amount of money but your greenhouse is lovely and big, so hopefully worth saving.

Have a lovely day all

 

Good morning everyone, Have a good day and stay safe and well. God bless.

 

Morning @moyra and all who drop by....so excited , taking my first step towards resuming a little bit of normality this morning as I have arranged a cafe catch up with friends in town...

 

Been out doing an inspection as the wind died leaving a soft Irish rain and utter stillness. Always amazed at how resilient plants are. My peas are battered down and shoots wind scorched but may yet win through. The small tree lupin of the batch I grew from seed that got stripped by big black slugs is putting out a new leaf. There is always hope. So a quiet day here as worn out with that four day wind event. knitting face masks etc, Three cats asleep on the bed with me. Oh someone has woken up...

 

Good day
Here I am looking at another bright hot day. Another 90+f day. It was a bit uncomfortable for sleeping last night as it only went down to 75f and a bit sticky so I'm feeling sluggish this morning.

Had a great time going for my ziplining yesterday and did a lot of walking so got a good workout for my muscles, my heart and my nerves! I am terrified of heights so propelling from 220 feet up was literally good for a long scream

We bypassed her place on the way back from Niagara Falls and stopped in to see if the patio for a restaurant we like was open. Wonderful. They had lots of tables so we had a late lunch there and found out that they are open for breakfast now too. We'll meet there in a couple of weeks for that

I've got a few things to get done outside today and a friend popping by for some of my special Christmas cake. He has aches and pains that the oil takes care of.

I hope everyone has a lovely day and keep cool!
