I'm trying to talk myself into a spin, but failing miserably so far!

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

It's not very nice here at all. Looks like it could rain
Still overcast here but very warm and muggy.
So far........
Watered all the potted plants and the various flower beds.
Removed all black spot leaves/stems from roses.
We have 2 climbing roses** which this year have gone mad though the normal ones aren't doing much.
**going out to put extra supports in for them. I do wish I knew what I was doing
Talking of which........yesterday I realised I havebeen underfeeding the tomatoes by a lot. Rectified that now.
Ahh well, back to work.

The local grapevine is a wonderful thing. My sinister black people carriers are probably a film crew and some celebs. Nobody knows who the celebs are and nobody much cares either as they are 10 a penny here.
Been a while since we had a major film and the last one I remember had Donald Sutherland who seemed a nice down to earth bloke. I had a minor part in that film. Slight {or rather major} exaggeration as I supplied the 35 mm film inspected by Hitler at some point.
We did have Balamory which caused eventually a lot of angst as people kept knocking on doors looking for characters. The occupants of the house where Miss Hoolie lived resorted to telling people she had had to go for a nice rest to Lochgilphead. The implication locally was a nervous breakdown.
It also caused embarrasment to our local plod who was a keen cyclist and immediately became known as PC Plum. He had an official police bike which was a gift in nice weather as he could go out some of the local trails in case anyone was looking at Sea Eagles without paying.

We sometimes get crews near here. Filming something that seems popular with some, but have never watched it. Outlander think it's called.

We have a comedy fest in Mach every year. It lasts a whole weekend and we always get schlebs that are supposed to be well known. Rod Gilbert is supposed to be nice but a lot of them are stuck up and so far up their own ar**s I'm surprised they can't see their own tonsils.
They're always filming something around here. Saunton Sands has been used in loads of films - last one was 'Operation Mincemeat' - a remake of 'The Man Who Wasn't There'.
Better weather today on Broadsands.

I have just ordered a couple of flat pack canvas stackable boxes for my sewing stuff. That's dam exciting.
