Good morning all. How are you doing?
I t worries me when it’s so quiet... I know Kathy is camping, Lena is in Canada and Sabine has been very busy, but even with her I am concerned about her health?
Carol, Dan are you two OK?
Mark, don’t forget your SuperBru picks. The Quarter Finals start tomorrow.
Everyone else?
We have woken to unexpected fog this morning. Due to our big river, we get fog regularly in autumn and spring, but a foggy start in the middle of a hot summer is unexpected. It seems to be burning off quickly though.

Snap is such a cutie pie.
I attach them here. But I use the app. Not sure what you are using.
What a life. ...life is good for Sully.[emoji3]
Nothing wrong with that.No we’re cheapskates. We packed a picnic bag and took our own. It’s much cheaper that way
Hi there Murphy. Howz it going?
Thats what i was doing yesterday.
All Good this side Linda thank you. Just have been fighting off some flu so have been resting and sleeping quite alot. I am also trying to go to bed at a decent hour to try and get back into a good routine. Did you enjoy the tennis yesterday?
So I feel almost human again today. Thank goodness it is weekend and i can take it easy over the weekend and hopefully put this flu out of its misery.[emoji16] Lots of work to catch up on as i only worked half day for the last two days. So will chat later again. Have a good friday everyone.
It was a really good day out
I am glad you are feeling a bit better. Hopefully the weekend will see you through it.
The fog this morning is explained. The garden is soaking wet and JoesDad has been told by a colleague that it rained heavily yesterday evening. Good thing too! The garden needs it!
I love Foggy mornings. IDK there is just something about them which is so peaceful. Most probably because sound gets dampened and it smells nice too. Well at least here it does, not so sure what it smells like overseas in places like China etc. Really glad that you had a good day at the tennis. Did your favorite win?It was a really good day out

Kyle Edmund won, but he was playing on Centre Court.
I was a neutral for the matches we saw... just enjoying the tennis
How can I get rid of worms in my garden eating my plants that I am trying to grow?
What kind of worms? And I’m guessing you don’t to spray all kinds of chemicals around?
Ok...FIFA WC watchers.... a bit less than 2.5 hours to go, the Stadium, teams and fans are ready...
I can't see the worms, I can only see the damage that they are doing to my plants. And no, I don't spray or fertilize my garden at all because of Blue and Whitey who live in the front garden full time.
I do throw the old subtrate and soaking water from my baby torts into the garden, so any poop (granted it is not much) and the bark/coco peat goes into the garden. That is the only stuff that I use. I am terrified of putting anything into the garden and killing my torts because of it.
- Yes, thats the problem we have here too. I have some large Lord Baltimore Hibiscus that produce dinner plate size blooms, BUT are being devoured by some miniscule bugs/worms. Can’t spray with anything ‘cause Sully loves the blooms. A constant battle with bugs!

My parents used to use regular old flour... i just looked up the “recipe” - it does say to NOT use self rising flour.
How to Use Flour to Keep Pests Off Plants
By: Tricia Craven Worley
You can use flour to stop grasshoppers and other chewing insects from eating your plants. Here’s how
- Place all-purpose flour in a garden duster or saltshaker.
- Jiggle the plants to get the insects moving, then dust the insects and the leaves of the plant with the flour.
- After two days, rinse the flour off of the plants using a fine spray from a hose to keep from harming plants.
