LIR.... I have the bluer version of that sample piece propped up in my bedroom !! :happyhear looks great on your walls, shame your going to cover it....

We'll still see some...in fact more and more, we are going crazy with craft knives this evening.

And its like good knickers, it sets one up for the rest of the outfit to wear better.

Yikes, pot-bound agapanthus indeed! I'm not sure how best to proceed...think I'll just put in slightly larger pot so I can get water/nutrients to the roots then divide after flowering?

IHS.... maybe they like being a tad root bound


or its of the trifid family

This was our kitchen last Tuesday, or thereabouts......



It's improved since then, but still a long way to go!

LIR - Is it from B&Q?Or Dunelm? Sorry to be nosy but I've seen it & really like it too. It does look good.

The elderly departed fat cat used to bring in mice & drop them. Even a couple of days before he died he did it. I would catch them by throwing a towel over them .......usually, but they would be as quick as fish & dart into the recesses of the caravan.
The other day I roottled out a rug I'd packed away in a bin bag - a good white wool rug & I found evidence of a mouse that had hoarded cat food & shredded bin bag & clothing - ready to nest. I've attempted to clean it, had it over the line, resorted to snipping out patches - scalped parts. It's long haired & I think I'll keep it coz I still like it. But I know the scenarios of drop & scarpper mice.
I got snappy traps that have a recess where there's a dark brown well of something,an attractant of rodents & they are hair trigger & plastic & very cheap -they WORK 99.5% of the time - they are incredibly effective.
I don't know what the brown stuff is but obviously attracts like crack cocaine to an addict.

Had a day off - well had a Summer off I suppose as I seem to have ground to a halt. It is nice just to watch clouds & the Loch & watch dolphins chasing shoals of fish that look like cloud shadows.

It just from band q choille, and its only £19 a roll. it has a slight metallic silver bit of twig- gage going on, but its not offensive, the eye is mainly drawn to the birds and flowers IMO.

Come on weather.....its just not warm enough for July. I keep thinking about whether I should cook on the ESSE instead of the electric oven for the warmth in the house.
