Good Morning everyone from my little bit of paradise on the Med’ where it’ll be 30 degrees today. In the meantime coffee in the garden then some more pot watering ?.
I can’t believe that Autumn is truly set in for the UK yet. My guess is you’ll have some wonderful golden days to get out and enjoy...so be prepared to drop everything ‘housekeeping’ and get outside and take advantage of it all. Be in cold weather denial for as long as you can. ?
Blown away by your quilt, (and your talent) *GrandMattie, so pretty. Do hope you’re pleased.....so many people - and on here -are so talented and accomplished but never think those words apply to them.
Hope your eye improves quickly Gelisajams. My eye Doctor here told me recently boiled water and salt, yes, but use a cotton pad to bathe as hot as you can tolerate. That made a difference for me.
Was surprised when you said you don’t see many dragonflies, Urms. You would think sometimes in this garden, you were in a re-make of the Dambusters! There are so many different kinds and sizes. I can’t say I’m that keen because I did get one repeatedly fly at me when we had a big area of water in Normandy. Then yesterday, we were having a quiet reading session in the garden and my DH said “do you want to rescue that insect?” ? I immediately picked up the pool net but was shocked to see a very big - and furry - dragonfly ? crashing about on the terrace instead. It was being attacked by a wasp. I do provide a distant bowl of fresh water for wasps because it keeps them away from the pool...but there is some behaviour I won’t tolerate, nature or not. ? So I trod on the wasp and lifted the other poor creature to safety in the hedge. Hopefully that will be my only close encounter with an insect that big for the foreseeable ?
How lovely you’ve got more family time to look forward to in magical Portugal dustyangel. Stay well.
Warm wishes for a good Sunday to all. Mary stay calm.....
To everyone sad or struggling - keep on looking for the light.x
