Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2025

Good evening everyone. I have had a super day today. Cakes baked, snowdrops arrived and then I was in the garden for hours (think I'm going to be very stiff tomorrow) which is the first proper session I've had this year. The cream on top of all that was England winning the Calcutta Cup - by 1 point. My blood pressure must have been through the roof. Sis sent me this picture of the cup before it was presented.

​

 

I am signing out for today. See you all tomorrow. I hope that @Songbird has had a lovely birthday. I have a sneaky feeling that there will be some hollyhock related gardening going on this year.

​

 

We’ve just been watching Landscape Artist of the Year and I thought of you because it was from Llanberis. There were some interesting art works made of the hills/disused slate workings. We visited a couple of years ago,( stayed in Deganwy) I fell in love with the scenery and would love to return!

 

​

Good morning everyone. Fingers crossed for another day like yesterday but just catching the weather forecast I think I am wishfully thinking. My right thumb is kicking off this morning after all the secateur work yesterday - chopping up lots of dead, woody bits to put in the green bin. After the tea/coffee morning I will be able to reassess the situation. I can always find something to do. Whatever you are doing today I hope it is pleasant for you.

 

Good morning @Ladybird4 and all to follow. Here is beautiful spring morning. The air has that specific fragrance, especially after rain. It's lovely warm, and I had my balcony door all night wide open. I'll also tray to spend as much is possible time outside. Pets and birds are of course all fed, and I have my cup of tea. Wish you all a lovely Sunday.

 

Good morning @Ante1. There is nothing quite like the petrichor! It was just wonderful here yesterday but apparently the tap controller is still not finished with us!

 

Good morning all, from wet and windy Scotland. Belated birthday wishes to Songbird! Glad to see you got into the garden at last, Ladybird. No chance of outdoor activities here, but I have plenty of inside jobs lined up.

Yesterday was a better day, with a mixture of sun, showers and rainbows, so I went for a walk in the afternoon. A curlew sprang up from next to the track and flew off to join its mate on the sea shore, with that lovely bubbling call.

I'm not sure how quickly this message will upload - my "goodnight" WhatsApp to OH didn't reach him until this morning! Hope you all have a lovely day.

 

Good morning @Liriodendron. How lovely for you to see and hear the curlew. It is a long time since I had that joy. Have a super day.
