Saturday

 Good morning, everyone.  It's not so bright this morning - it's been absolutely chucking it down for over two hours which has rather put paid to working down the allotment.   At least there's no need to water.









Yuck!






Really must get the extension guttering sorted - there's water pouring over in one place, giving the top cucumber leaves a jolly good bath.








Even the poor old pigeon is all fluffed up against the rain.
He sits there every day, hopefully eyeing up the blueberries but unable to work out how to get to them.







I didn't do an awful lot yesterday.  I went to Slimming World and tried to get my head around booking people in for the meeting which is flippin' complicated.  Then I did a bit of a shop round Morrisons so now I am set for the weekend ahead.

Apart from that it was just a case of tidying up for the cleaner and generally chilling.  I could have done some ironing but decided not to!

Today it looks like being a day inside unless things clear up, which they might, I suppose.  I've been eyeing up my spice shelf which needs a good clear out and also my pull out floor to ceiling unit could do with a go through.  I'm sure there's out of date stuff in there.
Apart from that, I have ironing (how nice!) and there's always something to watch on the telly, isn't there?

What's it like your way?  Stay dry anyway, be safe and enjoy your day.  xx

  1. Your garden looks lovely, even in the rain. Our weather is much like yours but at least the garden is getting a good soaking.

    Enjoy your day xx

  2. We've had sunshine this morning, but it's now got dark and cloudy and rain/showers forecast for a few hours, then the sun should come out again this evening. Apparently! We have a round patio just like yours at the caravan, which is nice. xx

    1. I call in my stone circle - not quite in the Stonehenge league, is it? < grin >
      Hope you get your promised sunshine.

  3. I also have a similar stone circle in my garden! It's the magpies that are trying to eat my blueberries. They've worked out if they just dive bomb my bushes some will fall off! They're safely netted now.

    Our weather is hot and very wet, really heavy rain showers every few hours. Yuck!

    1. We talk about bird brains but they are great survivors! I hate sticky hot too. Not at all comfortable.

  4. We're weather matching on this side of the Pond. About an inch (25mm) of rain expected, so no outside work here either. Plenty to do as the long term renovations are nearing an end. Now I have to figure out whether or not to put things back where they were (not my preference) or cull back a lot and give it away to family--if they want it, or charity--if they don't. Should keep me busy for weeks.

    1. I think the latter would be my choice too, given that you've already done half the job which is actually moving things out. It's a good opportunity.

    1. Yes! And aren't the mornings and evening darker too. I'm really noticing it now.
