Evening hope you are all enjoying the sunshine
Was raining earlier as we were going into the cinema but stopped again when we came out
Oooo just had thunder and lighting now my Dd got her nose pressed against the window to watch

We've had thunder and lightening too. I got to thinking about my mother in law....a fabulous lady.....who had a saying for every eventuality.

She would have thought it was terrible bad luck to have a bird in the house. She was horrified when I bought curtains with birds on when we were first married:o:)
She had lots of sayings about thunder too....so to have both together would have horrified her. Bless her:A

No thunder here, no rain either since last night, even though OH tried to use it as an excuse to avoid doing something!

Would love a trough like that, but would have nowhere to put it, it would have to go on the patio and that will not happen with the barbecue, apple tree, bins, patio table, mini greenhouse etc

When I saw it I thought that would be ideal for asparagus

We've got 2 E:).

One is out the front of the house painted white with geraniums and nasturtiums in. This one is slightly damaged but serves a purpose. I have a separate raised bed for asparagus but I tend not to get a brilliant crop....might rethink this year. Leeks went in today. I'm hoping for lots of rain to make them stand up:)

I'm looking through my flower seeds at the minute .....really excited about trying some of the seeds I got RTC from Wilko last year:)

Aah bless her the only saying I ever remember about thunder was my gran who would look skyward muttering about God moving his furniture

The other thing that's just come to mind is that she had a special fork for pickles :rotfl: woe betide you if you used any other implement to retrieve a pickled onion out of a jar:rotfl:

I need to say, without hesitation, that I haven't got any special spoons for anything:rotfl:

In fact since DD came back home, I have a shortage of teaspoons....goodness knows where they get to:rotfl:

Yup.

Think I'm to blame for that too:o
