I normally have three or more chive plants growing on my kitchen windowsill but no one has been selling them this year at all so resorted to seeds - if i use a hair analogy to describe them instead of the lush George CLooney at his peak growth i've got a Bobby Charlton chive growth

Very tall chives on one side of the pot only and sort of draped over?

yes about three very tall droopy chives and an enormous bald expanse of mud

have you got a camera in my kitchen?

Amongst other places

Spent a fabulous day at the coast today on the beach with Mini twass. Sea was really warm, we paddled!! Baking hot sun, it could have been July Total bonus!!

oh just shurrup! Won't bore you with rainfall stats, but heading for bed with a hot water bottle

They reminded me of east Manchester in the early sixties, when my Grandad used to take me to Bellevue. Lovely to look at.

It topped our tans up a treat

Just had the Autumn babies [wee calves] come past with their mums. quite a few still with umbilicus hanging. Passed right under the window, filmed by mini twass

it's no comfort i know, but you and I seem to share the same weather fronts tk!!
have to go to the post office today as i'd ordered a bunch of books (i love amazon secondhandyness!!)and of course they arrived three days early while i was at the doctors grrrrr might have to accidentally go to the butchers on the way back.....does a roast pork sandwich protect you from foot rot due to too much rain do you think?

No new calves here, good to have a few weeks off


How did the bloods turn out? I'm sure a good roast pork sandwich is essential.

Hi tk!! well the pork didn't make things worse!!! Which i am taking as a signal to have another pork sandwich But nothing was improving and doc said he was sending a referral to the nephrology specialist...

Oh I'm sure with your history they're just being ultra careful, it's good you're going to be seen so quickly. Fingers crossed, and enjoy your roast pork

yes that's what i was hoping just the letter gave me the willies a bit
just got back from the butchers with the roast pork
i'm following your orders very carefully Doctor tk!
thanks hope you are having a nice day it's blowey but actually dry here now the rain stopped about half an hour ago!!! hoorah!!!

Well I think the NHS owe you all the early appointments for everything forever planets, to be frank! And if roast pork hasn't done any harm GET IT DOWN YOU!

hahahhaa thanks Twass!!!
i have to say it works better than Temazepam on me! i went to collect my parcel and got a slice of delicious hot roast pork on the way home had my sandwich while i posted to tk then promptly fell asleep for 6 hours

got a text from my brother today he has finally got his refund and will be re-ordering when he gets a chance! winter is slightly delayed but will be popping by shortly! The good news is by the time i finally watch them all i'm hoping series 6 will be available

Hehe dr tk knew you'd be in roast pork induced slumber! And I can imagine your local health authority, when 'planets need referral' comes in go into panic, with red lights, klaxons and sprinkler systems all over the place!

For some reason, I'd never seen For Whom The Bell Tolls, and this afternoon I was settling down to some paperwork, and flicked aroung to find some background wallpaper. Well, was soon engrossed and wow Gary Cooper was nice. Now have to go and finish paperwork.

Well I think the moral of the story is, plenty of meat seems to cure the insomnia and satisfy the tum. Regardless of doctor's orders I should make sure you consume some daily, planets!

As for Winter.....it is coming Season 2 binge watchage on the horizon

Boo to paperwork tk....hope that gets done and dusted soon!

Well everything feels better with a full tummy doesn't it? Stands to reason, and nobody can function without good nutrition - and just as important, food you enjoy and leaves you satisfied.

Effin paperwork. Never ends

Thank you.

Morning everyone!!
Hoping my narcoleptic reaction will be lessened today
On the plus side read almost a whole book in between conking out yesterday.
the sun is bravely struggling to get out i cut another bunch of sweet peas from the garden it feels well and truly like autumn.....how did the equinox go for everyone? i appear to have slept through it

Hope you are wading through the paperwork tk *brings in proper coffee to perk you up*

Decides on a virtual bacon sandwich to complement the actual banana.....

The equinox was lovely, had a little thanksgiving ceremony [as you do if that way inclined] and lit candles and smudged the cottage......mercury is no longer in retrograde so everything feels lighter and brighter!

Oh that sounds lovely Twass. When i was younger all my friends and I used to go to this ancient Yew forest and stay up all night on summer solstice. It's lovely connecting to nature in that way.

good news about mercury! i seem to remember the awfullness that was involved during the saturn returns (may have got that wrong!)

Nothing like a bit of midsummer magic I remember staying up all night when I was younger too...nowadays I likes my bed too much for all that malarkey!

I hope you've had a goodly meat quota already today

Evenin all, hope you're well. Been out all day, got my new tablet! Setting it up, I downloaded Kindle app, signed in and all my books appeared, I know that is probably what should happen but I was blown away

Visited elderly auntie and had lovely tea and buns. Japanese knotweed seems to be blooming all over the place, the county council has helpfully put signs in front of these clumps, 'do not cut' I have a horrible feeling they are going to preserve them.
