We are having the most glorious weather (although some rain is forecast for tomorrow) with lots of opportunities to get into the garden. That's good because my garden is pretty high maintenance.

Pity I can’t flipping well walk in the wood these days. I’m no further forward on reducing the pain unfortunately.<br />Glad you have managed to get a bit of the sunshine back on the island. We are supposed to be having a mini heatwave starting tomorrow, I’ll believe it when it happens.<br />Happy mowing... it will be an ongoing process for the next 6 months.<br />Regards Bev.Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977484822968582847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-47222390450103704962018-04-17T18:50:47.698+01:002018-04-17T18:50:47.698+01:00Thanks Diane.

It's a glorious sunny day today. Thankfully, it's not too hot, though.<br /><br />And thankfully, throughout the Commonwealth Games that just finished on Sunday, most of the time the weather behaved itself during the many events. <br /><br />I loved watching all the Games events, and binged on the Games over the couple of weeks they were on - but -like thousands and thousands of others, I thought the Closing Ceremony was a debacle...a disgrace. It was so disappointing...an insult to all the athletes who competed, win, place or otherwise.<br /><br /> The so-called "organisers" of the Opening and the Closing Ceremony couldn't organise a bun fight in a bakery!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-13197806985768118412018-04-16T23:06:26.076+01:002018-04-16T23:06:26.076+01:00I'd love to have hundreds of daffodils.

We haven't had any here for a couple of years now disappointingly. I am always hopeful, but nada. There haven't been any since the year they never changed into frogs, just stayed tadpoles.
