Typical that one orders and receives a sunshade and it pours with rain. Ho hum!!
Thanks very much, everyone, for your advice and comments. xx
Apart from that bit of excitement (?), it's been a pretty normal Friday. Slimming World to start the day and then the usual. No going out, no gardening; we've had some torrential rain at times today so the raised beds have received a thorough soaking which they did rather need.
It has also felt rather cold and I almost got down one of my oodies. Come on, Summer, you have hardly started!

Here's hoping tomorrow is nicer because there's a walk planned.
I think I will sleep well tonight. I'm not shattered like last night but gradually relaxing and feeling increasingly ready for some shut-eye.
See you tomorrow - sleep well, all.

We were considering getting a table we could eat off and a parasol for the patio. But there have been no days when it's been warm enough to eat outside. Fingers crossed you get to use yours soon.
ReplyDeleteVery true re. the weather, apart from that lovely warm week in June. I have found a little wooden, fold up table with a parasol hole, just a small one like a coffee table really, which I am pondering over but it will have to wait for the end of the month so I have time to think. I'd like one of those round, tiled ones but they are heavy and, generally, don't fold up. And they come with chairs, which I don't really need or want. xx
DeleteI like the color of your new parasol. It blends nicely with the other colors in your garden.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a restful night.
I really wanted green. It used to be very on trend but not so much now. The positive is that they tend to be a little bit cheaper. xx
DeleteVery nice and good that it fitted the existing socket. I do hope you get good use of it once the weather improves.
ReplyDeleteSemi-fits anyway. If I were a fussy girl . . . but I'm not and those wedges do the necessary really well. I like it very much - now all I need is sunshine. xx
DeleteWindy and rainy here this morning but I expect there'll be breaks in the downpour. It's the local biennial carnival procession today. I bet the organisers are chewing their nails.
ReplyDeleteOh, I bet they are, what a day to choose. Our school fair was last Saturday and I bet they are so happy to have got it all over and done.
DeleteIt cleared up briefly here but now it's back as hard as ever. Really wet! xx
What a classy brolly-it looks lovely in your bountiful garden. Hope there will be sun to enjoy it! Catriona
ReplyDeleteMe too. I really like it - it's what I wanted as far as size is concerned and should be very useful. Thanks. xx
DeleteNice parasol. It feels so strange not sitting outside in the evenings in July but it's just not warm enough!

A beautiful parasol! It looks like its made of cloth, which I prefer over plastic. Very, very nice.
