Yawn... Wakey Wakey...!!! #3

Good morning woo and everyone,

It looks as though it will be another extra hot day. It's lovely to see the sun shining but I'm not keen on the heat - and the garden isn't too happy either. We seem to have missed all of the rain that has been around in the past week or so. They forecast that it will be quite windy today but there is not even a hint of a breeze at the moment. So it will be early morning and late evening gardening today .

Jazmine, I don't think Oscar has a lady friend. We've never had any hint of one and he is getting a bit on in years to get frisky in the hot weather :hehe: . We guess he is about 15 now. Yesterday he spent all day shadowing Mrs shiney. He was never more than two feet from her k-l. Actually, all four feet were near her :hehe:.

It's time I got out there and weeded around the veggies.

Have a great day :D

 

I've done my weeding for the day. Filled a quarter of a wheelie bin. Also wound up runner beans (and had a chat to them :hehe, picked rhubarb, deadheaded some roses and peonies and trimmed some lawn edges. I'd pat myself on the back but I can't reach it :rotfl:.

I shall be doing paperwork in the cool indoors now. I've a claim form to fill in as I am claiming, from the County Council roads dept, for the replacement of one of my car tyres. We'll see how that goes. Probably take months to sort it out. :snz:

 

Hi roders,

Is it Sunday already? :hehe:

 

Good morning everyone,

penny, that sounds pretty warm for early morning.

We had a good day yesterday. A group of us went to friends house in Suffolk for a picnic afternoon and then on to the last night of Haverhill Festival. It was a very good performance given, jointly, by the Haverhill Silver Band and the Haverhill Operatic Society and was the Last Night Of The Proms. Very rousing. :gnthb:

Today is going to be a little bit of gardening, some shopping and a lot of paperwork.

Have a great day :D

 

Good morning all my friends on this Bonus of a day,I trust that you are all OK and well it's a little cooler here at the moment,and the dawn sky is an incredible array of colours,every one have a great day and please stay safe

 

Good morning everyone,

woo, another lovely picture :gnthb:

Kandy, I didn't see that programme. I would have done if I had known what it was about . Sorry to hear you've got blight :(. We're being invaded by blackfly at the moment and they have started to move from the artichokes to the runner beans. I think I am managing to keep them at bay, but it is a struggle.

I cleaned up, stained and oiled our two benches. The old, oak, park bench that we were given took a lot of work. I'd pressure hosed it the other week to remove the quarter of an inch layer of green algae that completely covered it. The wood was so rough in places that it needed a lot of rubbing down. It slurped up a lot of the oil I used on it and is looking much better now :thumb:. My back is very stiff and sore from all the bending but it is a lot better this morning than it was last night.

The forecast for the week is hot and dry so it will be sprinkler time for the veggies .

If anyone is within driving reach of the village of Lode (between Cambridge and Newmarket) they have their garden open day this coming Sunday 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.. It is always worth a visit. Although they only have four gardens open the cottage garden of Richard Ayres (ex head gardener of Anglesey Abbey and Kirtling Tower) is worth the visit just on its own. You can combine the open gardens with a visit to Anglesey Abbey (National Trust) which is only a few hundred yards away. :gnthb:

Have a great day :D

 

Good morning everyone,I,ve always want to say that just after midnight:hehe:

 

Good morning all my friends I do hope that you are all OK and well,its another beautiful Summers day ,everyone have a good day and please stay safe

 

Good morning woo and woo :hehe:, and everyone,

We had ten minutes of drizzle just before six this morning but the forecast is set for another hot day.

We've decided that a big patch (6ft x 4ft) of thalictrum has got to go and then we shall decide what we can put in its place. I'll give an update when we've planted it up. :thumb:

Friends are coming for lunch today so lots to do.

Have a great day :D
