Sunday morning, 16-06-24

Hi, everyone.  It's a morning blog because I was so very weary yesterday evening.  I had a great night's sleep though, so am feeling brighter again now.

I'm getting the occasional twinge from the bad tooth which makes me both very glad I only have to wait another fortnight-ish before my appointment and very careful about how I chew on that side, especially after carelessly biting on a piece of raw carrot and nearly hitting the ceiling.  Oh, that hurt!  😖

The tomatoes seem to be doing nicely.  No babies yet, though, and a bit of warmth and sunshine would help.  At least I don't have to water them that often.

Ditto for the ones in pots and the two cucumber plants.  They are different kinds and the expected height is very different.  All the flowers so far have been male ones so I have pinched them out.  Hopefully, it won't be too long . . .

As for the beans, after a slow start, the runners (left and below) have decided to get a move on and, assuming these all survive, there's plenty to feed me and probably some for Beth and Alex too.  We all love runner beans.

The dwarf beans though - after a good start, they have been nibbled to death by something.  Some are just a bare stem now, sadly.  However, it is not too late to sow more outside so I think I might plant some in pots and plant them on when they are bigger - or just plant some more straight into the pot and hope.  What would you do?

We had planned one of our occasional walks yesterday, some of my SW friends and I, and we met up in the car park at Tower Gardens.  And it started raining.  Now, we are not wet weather walkers, any of us, so we made a quick decision to drive out to the Writtle Tea Rooms and have a good old chat instead.
So we did and it was lovely!!
(and the rain hammered down so it was definitely the right decision) 

There's another walk planned in a fortnight so fingers crossed.

Well, better start my Sunday, I suppose.  There's a kitchen to sort out and I'm sneezing so must take my hay fever meds soon.  It's been a very sneezy, snuffly couple of weeks but my symptoms rarely last much beyond Wimbledon fortnight so the end is in sight!

Have a lovely Sunday, everyone, whatever you have planned.  Take care and stay safe.  xx
