Get sunbeds out
Put cushions on sunbeds
Put suntan lotion on
Open can of Speckled hen
Drink Speckled hen.

@Dave7 Yea, as Paul and Dirk said, definitely a Lady's Smock. I've got a PlantSnap app which comes in handy.

Why do the sunbeds and cushions require suntan lotion applying?

Another day in paradise...20 C, 4 mph wind, crystal clear. Across from the gravel path used on most dog walks, is a little herd of Pronhorn antelopes...left over from when there were cheetahs, mastodons and horses in North America. Not very bright but very fast due to the cheetahs. You can see a hint of green as the spring greening approaches.

Back from a 10 mile bimble. The w9bz was biting but when it died down it was really hot.

Once more in English, or even Welsh

Jeeez, that was a miserable ride. The headwind was unbelievable. It's meant to be 12/13 mph, more like 30 and blustery to boot. It's not often I don't enjoy a ride but today? Horrid.

I'm glad I am not the only one.

Haven’t had “real” rice pudding since my mother died

My "oh sh*t" moment of today.
Near the end of our walk we called in at the co-op. Its part of a very small mall of maybe 10 shops and is tucked into the far right corner (that bit is important).
From our walk it meant us approaching from the left and when we got to the door we walked straight in. We followed the arrows etc and completed our shop BUT when we exited, going the opposite direction was a queue of 20+ people .
It was then we noticed the sign "one out, one in"
Coming from the left we had not seen the queue or the sign and walked straight in.
Heads down we scarpered as quickly as possible.
A wonder we weren't lynched.

Yeah. A likely story
