Trimmed the buddleia this lunchtime, that's the garden wheelie bin filled already for whenever the first collection of 2023 is. Hoping pointlessly it would give my neighbour a hint as that buddleia if trimmed would fill around six wheelie bins.

I used to cut mine down to the ground each year & it was magnificent. Since we've moved, I don't think they've cut it once.

At work. Weather is mixed: In the distance the Kandel is topped with cloud and the ground is wet but there's spots of blue sky all around. The river was a bit high this morning too.

Skies cleared but there's a clear snow line on the Kandel now.

Rain battering on my front windows again and forecast to continue.
Been summoned to attend the surgery to get a needle stuck in my arm to suck blood out. I ordered the stuff for B12 injection which seemed to have caught somebody's eye but not really necessary as I normally book a blood check which is done immediately before the B12.
Just found another old booklet written by an ex army officer who left the army in 1946 and took over a derelict Drovers Inn on Mull. An early settler but of the better type who integrated well and worked hard.
The book does not tell of the time he was gathering seaweed for his vegetable garden and found a hessian wrapped bundle of some vegetation he did not recognise but just cut it open and mixed it in with the seaweed.
Some time later when he had trouble keeping the weeds down he got raided by the drug squad as what he had was a good crop of marijuana [spelling?].
He did get off with no charges.

The weather's so bad it wants to come in and shelter !

I have a Georgie asleep on my legs .

Honestly, they come over here, taking our weather...

Oh, wait...

Car has passed MOT with no advisories. Phew saved throwing more cash at the money pit.

This is what it did to my heart rate

We have been asked to re garden a rescued Hedgehog. We would have to keep feeding it until the summer. Our resident fro the hotel seems to have found food elsewhere as it hasn't touched the biscuits I put down yesterday.
Georgie is awake and is glued to the TV he is watching the Farmer's Country Showdown . He seems fascinated by all of the animals .

I'm wondering if 'Bullseye' needs its own thread ... a series 6 prize, a 'magnificent touring bike!'
Any ideas what is is? Brookes saddle so must be half decent?

That was my guess but I was holding fire.

I was in the local shopping centre when MrsPete said she needed some of them there passport photos from a booth.
I wish she'd warned me earlier as I would have popped over to the cake shop and got a chocolate éclair to poke through the curtains just as the flash was about to pop 😁

I normally cut mine down to two or three feet tall and they go well in the summer.
