Saturday 30th June

Five thirty start and it was persisting it down again and my, didn't it rain.  Coffee inside, no breakfast on the terrace, it was a gloomy old morning,  Breakfast of bacon, mushrooms, sausage and egg and that set me up for a couple of hours on the sofa with Soda Crush and at last I managed to complete one of the games that I've been working on for the last ten days.  It was a bummer.  Fortunately it allowed me to work through the next few games without any obstruction or objections from the powers that be and then I came up against another one that I know will take me some time...Oates.

Eventually we got out to the garden by one thirty, worked on the edging by the mulberry tree and came in about thirty minutes later.  Back to the sofa and out again after about  an hour or so and it's turned into a beautiful evening.  The garden is so waterlogged though....I have gardens under about four inches of water and the drain holes in the wall are going like crazy trying to catch up with it.  It really has been an onslaught.

So this afternoon I noticed how many different varieties of mushrooms and  toadstools are growing in the garden.  There was one peculiar one that looked like a flower and there were clusters of them.  Eventually we managed to finish the edging round the tree and I've managed to get some rooted cuttings from the white daisies where we had to cut them back to put the wood in.  Haciber happened to appear in the garden at the same time and handed me some chocolates that her son has brought back from Sweden....so I handed her a cutting and told her it  would be like the clump at the end of the terrace and she went away happy.

Not sure what's for supper....I've just heard the bag of peanuts tipped into a dish downstairs so I am assuming the hunger games have started.  LN...I have work to  do....LN

Photos to follow....my little machine doesn't do photos well....arrhhhh
