High wind and tedium
The wind has thinned the magnolia and spread leaves around as though it was September. The pots of lilies are horizontal and the broad beans have fallen over like a drunkard - but nothing broken. Tied them all up on Saturday with string and hope that they recover. No rain as yet, water butts still empty.
M. suggests tap water, which I have not used on the garden for many a year!
Sunday was posh perfume day, homemade pastries, fruit and coffee. Chicken for lunch and Xmas pud and custard for afters. Only one pud left!
Phoned M and nattered for longer than we should, but it is good to talk. Very windy up there, greenhouse-rolling weather.
Emailed A about GWM and it seems there is no record of our subscription, so she is on the case! - even though she is feeling a bit off and had planned a day off.
Parents!
It is now Bank Holiday Monday, at least in England. M. has taken a day off even though it isn't a Bank Holiday in Scotland. Just because you work from home doesn't mean you can't have days off.
Sat in the garden this afternoon, just a quiet sit, watching the bees, listening to neighbours mowing lawns, doing DIY, gossiping. Peaceful.
Then cut a big bit off the wysteria that had finished flowering and was hanging over the path.
Will leave some plants (including tomatoes) out tonight, see how they cope.
If fine, then they can go to the plot and the rest I will pot up - when we get the gro-bags.
There is a flower spike growing from the Yucca. Haven't take last years spent ones out yet, not wanting to disturb the nesting wrens.
The numbers are less than 140, but that could be because it is the long week-end.
Over 75's are still the most at-risk group, amplified by being male and/or of some ethnic origins.
