Wow, there has been no one on here for a while. Everyone must be having an awesome day.

Continue to have fun.

I checked and also noted everyone had gone on CV-19 holiday or something.

My newly created water fountain/garden now has Water Lettuce & Marsh Marigold for company. A few more of the marigold flowers are opening today. I’ll have to pop in the Tropics shop for a few more plants.

Still unseasonably cold and very wet here this morning BUT I spotted a hummingbird. So, Ive now hung up 4 hummer feeders.

Have we welcomed you to the Cold Dark Room?

I’m Linda and I live in Kent in South East England.

We’re an international bunch of idiots /friends here who sometimes talk tortoise and fairly regularly talk puns and nonsense.

Pull up an armadillo and the one-legged pirate will be along shortly to bring you your beverage of choice. The big armadillo is called Montgomery and is a very obliging coffee table, especially if you dust him or tickle him under the chin.

It’s rather gloomy in here, but the flying jellyfish glow a little brighter when you polish them. The blueberry ones seem to be glowing brightest at the moment.

Watch your step; it’s easy to stub your toe on the hedgehogs in the gloom. The wool spider, if she exists, seems to be in a better mood since we locked the leprechaun in a jellyfish tank. The snow leopard is very friendly and eats carrots :)
I didn't know the leprechaun was locked in the jellyfish tank. Now if I can find which corner he is in this round room. Maybe he has the twenty bucks he owes me.

Good evening all. We have had another glorious sunny day here in Kent. The weather is due to be cold and wet from tomorrow, so we made the most of it with a walk.

JoesDad started his new contract today. Needless to say, the laptop they couriered to him wouldn’t work and they hadn’t supplied him with phone numbers for anyone in the company so that made for a slow and frustrating start!

I went out for my grocery shop and secured both plain and self raising flour which made me ridiculously happy! I also found doughnuts on the reduced counter... reduced means they’re not so unhealthy doesn’t it? ;)

Daughter and I spent most of today batch cooking savoury stuff for the freezer (she is currently furloughed off work on 80% salary). It is Son’s birthday on Wednesday, so tomorrow Daughter is in charge of birthday cake making. She likes cake making more than I do! I shall be pot washer :D

Oh my garsh...well...? maybe just plant a gold potato. It's too late this year. Maybe next year.

I love watching hummingbirds. Lucky you. I was sitting on a gazebo enclosed swing once. One little hummer buzzed in and didn't stop for a split second...I thought for a second I was going to be spearheaded in the forehead by a hummingbird's beak...I lived and now it's still a favorite funny memory.☺

Good Morning/Day all.

Finally a hint of sunshine this morning....our norm has been chilly, cold n wet. Good for grass n weeds, not so much for sowing seeds. The ground is soggy n cold. Good conditions for rot in seeds.

Two pix for you all before I head out kayaking.... bee houses & our front garden ( with hummer feeders)
