The boring thread.....

Lovely day here, great to sit out in the sun with my coffee     The brolly blew over in Storm Dave so I'm trying to clean it up a bit I think the crank handle thinggy is damaged though, one for my lad.  Re-potted some Rosemary plants, broke a clay pot in the process....

Butterscotch tart turned out great.. I haven't made one for many years.. I didn't taste it but it looked aright..
It's in the freezer for a later date..

I've had a lovely day.
My son and DIL came over late morning,  and helped in the garden until mid afternoon.
Gary did some pruning of shrubs which I haven't been about to do with this dodgy shoulder/arm still,  and also cut my grass for me,  while  Jean did loads of weeding then helped me re-pot a lovely big Camelia.

No one has ever helped me before,  I have always done it myself as I love my little garden,  but I have been a bit crotchety of late,  and with everything starting to grow again it was quickly getting out of hand.

I have still got more hoeing to do, and the seed sowing for this year,  but at least we've made a start. 
It was also glorious warm sunshine all day too,  a beautiful day, with lots of Ladybirds and Butterflies everywhere.

Your day sounds lovely Mups.  I'm so glad now that we only have a small garden. It's pretty full of perennials, so not a great deal of work.  I need to get some plants for the tubs now the bulbs have almost finished.  

It's a beautiful day today, I volunteer at an Age UK drop in session most Tuesday mornings. A friend is trained to do checks for things like Pension Credit, Blue Badges, Attendance allowance etc.  I do a bit of admin, make people drinks, or just chat while they're waiting.  Sometimes the main reason people is to just talk to another person.

Mary, my SIL has now left for home, she will be back in three weeks or so. The first few days after anyone leaves always seem particularly empty, but from today my carers will call four times a day rather than two, so that will help break the day up

Cheer up Michael ,  at least you've got carers popping in,  and that three weeks before your SIL returns will soon fly by.

Well done Mups... I am pleased that you had some help in your garden..
 I had a bad back yesterday..
  I was challenged to lay on my back .. and put my legs up (ride a bicycle)..
Like we did when we were fit.. !!
I couldn't even get my legs up.. I gave it a good old go.. 
  So funny... All the family had a go...

Beautiful sunshine today.. Dentist..

Another lovely day here again, I'm going to a garden centre for coffee and cake !   

[Michael Rolls]

Lovely day and forecast to last all day!

Warm enough for shorts again.

Good grief man,  that's the second time this year you will be out giving all the old ladies palpitations.
I heard that one old dear in town was so busy ogling your legs,  she fell down a pothole!
