We have sun! 22° but wind and clouds to come soon. Oh just stop .
Was warmer last pm but not much. Did put my shorty pjs on for bed 😄
Ds2 is working early shift today so will be finished early. Might take us all for fish and chips for tea. Pretend we are on holiday! 😁
Hope weather is being kinder to you all.
Fingers crossed you dont need a goat sacrifice to pay the hedge trimmer @DirtyGertiefromno30

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 27/06/2026 13:42

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts @Thebookofcarolagain 😁
Aw gorgeous Fish and chips 😋 the perfect holiday treat 🌞. Hope the weather stays good for you 🤗 🙏.
Just home from seeing Mum, she was fine there thankfully. Having a cuppa and a ring donut l should be shot but l am treating myself. Weather ok here sunny nice breeze 25C . Very civilised ATM anyway 🤣
Fingers crossed no goat sacrifice is needed for the hedge 🤞 ! I might have to put the hat around 😂.

Thebookofcarolagain · 27/06/2026 14:27

We had bucketing rain a bit ago @DirtyGertiefromno30 was definately not 22! Suns back out and feels hotter, but still windy. Sat on wall outside for a bit. Might get some colour 😄
The size of flower stalk and flower coming out of the tiny fuzzy bud is amazing! There are 3 more, fingers crossed.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 27/06/2026 17:12

Bucketing rain then sunshine and wind typical weather fare @Thebookofcarolagain! 🙄
Sitting out on the wall sounds lovely 🤗 even if it was a bit breezy. Hope you do get a bit of colour from it.
And that flower looks amazing 😍 I love how something so tiny can suddenly throw up a massive stalk like that. Nature showing off a bit! Fingers crossed the other three all come through as well 🤞. He looks very healthy and handsome indeed ! 😁
Just watching the rugby , Dd2 and her BF have gone to watch the BAABAAS v Wales in Twickenham.

Well car said it was 30° outside but it had been siting all day so not so sure. Was lovely though at last @DirtyGertiefromno30 .
Just got takeaway as ds2 had had enough of people by time he got home. It was busy anyway so wouldn't have got a table as they weren't answering the phone.
Got icecreams in coop too. I got peanut butter and maple syrup Nui ones for a treat, they arent too shabby but prefer the rasp ones.
Got into pjs as it was too warm in house. Sun bleaches in livingroom window all pm. Have got a damm fly annoying me i keep getting up to zap it and it disappears then when i sit down it appears again.😡

FridayNighFeeling · 27/06/2026 21:20

Survived and finally more bearable temperature! Have a good evening - we're watching best of Glasto for a bit of background. I shall be off to bed soon though, exhausted!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/06/2026 07:20

Good morning everyone 🤗
Looks ok out this morning ,much cooler thank God 😁
Off to do a bit of shopping only local but need to get a few things , l think l am going to have a look for those NUI ice creams they sound yummy 😋
I don't blame Ds2 for wanting a takeaway after being around people all day @Thebookofcarolagainespecially given the weather bless him .
Hope you enjoyed your ice cream, even if it's not your favourite. 😄 I had to laugh at the fly. They always seem to disappear when you get up to chase them but those zapper bats are excellent, a real game changer , DH loves them 🤣
Have a good day everyone 😊

Glad you are managing better in this temperature @FridayNighFeeling. Thanks for the heads up, we watched the footy of course 🤣 but we will definitely watch 40 at Glastonbury. I love it 😁

Glad its a bit cooler for you @FridayNighFeeling . Hope you have a restful Sunday.
Sunny here and apparently 18 but of course rain forecast.
Yes @DirtyGertiefromno30 those zappers are great if the damm fly doesn't hide!😁
No big plans might go for a walk. (If it doesnt rain!)

Thebookofcarolagain · 28/06/2026 09:56

Love this guy.
Its very sweary but I watched it three times laughing my socks off last night.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/06/2026 15:33

Good afternoon everyone 😊.
I hope you managed to dodge the rain and get your walk in @Thebookofcarolagain. 😄
Those flies do seem to know exactly when to disappear as soon as the zapper comes out! 🤣
Your new Aquilegia is gorgeous too. It's always such a nice surprise seeing what comes up 👏😁
Now you've got me curious about that video! 😂
Watching the Grand Prix here , footy later 😁
Spent a fortune on the shopping 🙄Weather is good dry sunny and 20C just perfect.Had cheese and crackers for dinner and a nice cuppa , just having a strong cuppa now ☕

Thebookofcarolagain · 28/06/2026 16:08

Well never got a walk @DirtyGertiefromno30. We have sun its just clouds keep coming over and it's dull and cold and wind is doing its thing. One minute it's ok then its blowing hard as it can. Not the same 15 mins on the trot!
The video is seriously hilarious. It is sweary but he is Irish 😁. He is a real gem of a guy too. (The bike shed and flip flops are explained in comments) Give it a try its about the tornado in Galloway. It's just as short. Love his stuff.

Have done precious little today. Looked at garden, dead headed, watered a few things out back. Prob need to water the rest later, oh joy.😏

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/06/2026 17:43

Haha I’ve watched it and it’s absolutely hilarious @Thebookofcarolagain😂 had me laughing out loud 🤣.
Weather sounds a bit all over the place for you. Not proper walking weather at all. 🙄
Gardening sounds enough for one day anyway, dead heading and watering is plenty of effort. The rest can definitely wait after all it is Sunday 😁🙏
Having some toasted teacakes and a cuppa and some Eton mess with strawbs for tea yummy 😋 🤤

Damm autocorrect changed Galway to Galloway!
Glad you liked it @DirtyGertiefromno30 He is absolutely hilarious. Check his other stuff. He's a great singer too and does lots of charity work.
Did plain roasted chicken breasts and veg. Having some apple crumble too.
Need to find the motivation to water...

Thebookofcarolagain · 28/06/2026 19:38

Watering done. Didnt do the gravel but everything is fine there. Pot stuff getting a bit wilty! Might feed everything again this week.
Having a cuppa then dishes then pj time 😁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/06/2026 21:05

Well done @Thebookofcarolagain! 😁 Those pots don't half let you know when they need a drink 😁.
A feed this week will do them the world of good too 👏
Your tea sounds lovely. Hope you enjoyed the apple crumble! 😋 Now get that cuppa down you, do the dishes, get those PJs on and put your feet up. Missy 😁
I bought some new car keys from Lidl and they were delicious 😋
99p for 16 bit pricey but they are lovely, made in Scotland so your neck of the woods @Thebookofcarolagain 🤗

Morning all.
Nice here too but cooler and only highs of 18 later. Pah!
Need to move myself, been up for ages but having a coffee first.
Gonna clean fridge and potter. Am also going to attempt to swap pollen in my lovely dark.peach/yellow aquilegia to see if seeds come true instead of a mix.

Autocorrect is crazy @DirtyGertiefromno30 😁😁
Have a good one all.

Thebookofcarolagain · 29/06/2026 13:11

Got off my bum!
Fridge done. Put washing out. It's cloudy but breezy so fingers crossed. Rain not forecast but some of the clouds get really dark then move on. Checked on top border, have lovely poppies now. I heard a strange noise like crackling and thought I was standing on something..
Nope, then I spied the culpit trying to jump up over the tiny fence😁
Have lovely lilac and pink flowers in hituom border, maybe borage will check but I don't want it rampaging through the border if it is so will keep an eye on seed heads. Will collect some for a pot though as its lovely.
(The seeds you gave me @bookbook didn't all germinate and the ones that dids seeds didn't come up again next year 😢 I prob should have collected more) .
Coffee time then cooking mince for tea. Have sausages to add to bulk it out for a change.

Good afternoon everyone 😊
Just having some lunch here,made a cheese and potato pie , just mashed potatoes , a layer of tomatoes and cheese . It's fab 😋 . If it was very hot here l wouldn't have done it because it's a heavy meal really but it was gorgeous Mum was brilliant there today bless her ❤️. Watching the Sinner match at Wimblers 😁

You've been busy @Thebookofcarolagain 😊.
I had to laugh at the mystery crackling turning out to be MR Toady/Froggy trying to jump the tiny fence 🤣
He's a handsome devil too 😍
Your garden is looking so pretty with the poppies and those lovely flowers. Fingers crossed your Aquilegia experiment works, and that your washing stays dry despite those dark clouds.Just put mine out now.
Enjoy your well earned coffee, and your mince with the sausages sounds lovely too! 🥰

Thebookofcarolagain · 29/06/2026 17:13

Rain stayed away yeah.
Just had tea. Made it early so ds2 could get something before he left. Just had mine and the last of the crumble . Not too shabby.
Need to get washing in then do dishes (again!)
Fell asleep earlier listening to the new Skyrim story. Oh well will listen again once i am finished everything 😁
Thanks re garden @DirtyGertiefromno30 still have gaps in top border to fill. Need more dahlias! And some smaller plants for for front. Have a few seeds growing but small or wispy so far. Not great.
Looking in bottom border I am not sure if I have weeds or they are from the seed packet. . Must see if I can find them. I suspect theres a couple of milky thistles in there!
