Thursday

Good morning, everyone.  The promised rain has arrived overnight and we have obviously had a substantial amount as the tray holding the few remaining baby chillies was full to the brim when I looked.  It's raining lightly now and today's forecast suggests more is on the way.
No complaints from me; the garden looks a lot happier, even with the wet.  I won't be sitting outside for my meals today though!!



Yesterday passed just as planned except that I didn't go out for a walk.  I felt very lethargic and sleepy all day which is a sign that I probably should have but not to worry.
The chat with Chris was, as always, fun.  It was nice so she came over and we enjoyed time in the sunshine.
In the evening I watched 'Men at the Barre' on iPlayer which was about men at the Royal Ballet.  It was very interesting indeed and I wonder how I missed it when it was on.

Today I have household chores, including changing the bedding, and some cooking in the morning and in the afternoon I'm going over to Jackie's for coffee and chat.  It will be lovely to see her again after last Friday.

That's about it really.  As I've been typing this, it seems to have brightened up and the rain is easing but I'm sure there's more to come.  Hopefully it won't spoil any of our plans today.  Stay safe.  xx

    Your garden looks so good. You must be pleased to see the results of all your efforts.

    I hope the rain holds off so you can go ahead with your chat with Jackie.

      You can't better a good fall of rain for freshening things up.

    Lovely garden, we just had over night rain, been hot here today, too hot to sit in, but good to bring everything on. The week after we planted out seedlings we had a cold snap and everything stopped growing.

      Isn't that always the way. Generally, nature has a habit of evening up over time though, even in the shorter term, and the current rain and warmth are working well.

    I love to see nice gardens and yours is really pretty. Love the seating area...all gardens need a reading nook and that looks perfect.

    Your garden is looking so lovely - is that a new arch I spy? xx

      No, the only new things are the tomatoes, etc. If you mean the thick metal archway thingy, the runner beans will be growing up it but they (there's two of them) are there all year round.

    This rain is doing the gardens a world of good. I was pleased I managed to cut the grass just in time. X
