Good morning all and welcome

It’s been 30C every day this week and the garden is being destroyed by the lack of rain. The only plants surviving are in pots and they have to be watered every day. So I start the day with checking the “birthdays”, make the tea, then I am up pool cleaning. The next task doesn’t involve any stress, it’s watering the herbs, grasses and plants - this takes about an hour. The next thing is to have breakfast then go for a walk around the forest with Jessica and check on the livestock, the cows and donkeys.

I don’t miss working in the NHS but happy to do things at my own pace. I had a good job with good money but we get by with less and have little or no complaints

My heart goes out for anyone having to strike for more money and better working conditions.

No toothache last night or this morning and waiting to hear from the dentist when the next appointment will be.

I wonder what today will bring……
What’s everyone up to?

Morning Phil, morning all.
You need to do a 'rain dance' Phil

Good news on the tooth front

I'm off to Suffolk for a photoshoot of an AMG55 Mercedes this morning and I'm at our camera club tonight. Not sure what I'll do in the middle of the day yet

Same as here, it’s sunny one minute then cloudy and rain forecast.
Next two weeks following BBC internet forecast says it’s going to be wet showers every day until the second week of March.

Ey up! The suns just come out here

I've planted four 35 litre buckets up of Maris Piper seed spuds for me roasties next Autumn

I'll keep them in the greenhouse until the last frost date has passed.

RPWC · 24th February 2023, 13:29

Sun has been around all day here, doesn’t mean it’s warm though.
