Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Ooh, they look like proper apples, YBE, hope they taste as nice as they look.
I had a bird sown sunflower growing on my roof guttering last year or the year before - I left it because it was so pretty, but it did look ridiculous up there. I did laugh at your own attempt at growing one, but the bird sown ones you have are lovely at least.
I'll watch the BG episode - Mull is one of my favourite places.

OT - it's stopped raining...

Fairy Nuff. From a personal perspective, I'd not have a clue without the Toob and similar channels, but each to their own. Once I saw proper science being censored 5 years ago, I knew there were things worth investigating beyond the MSM, but there's a great deal of dross to wade past, wherever one goes. 

Anyway, congrats on your apples, looking full of plumptiouness,  and your sunflowers too, growing away, while ours were molluscularly consumed. 

I imagine gardens on Mull might be similar in some ways to the 2 gardens Mrs Dusty and I visited yesterday. We were supposed to see 4, but dilly-dallied on the way over Exmoor, picnicking and exploring places we'd never been to. It seems 2p does have very different weather from us, because what began as a dull and moderately warm day turned hot and overly sunny when we came within a few miles of the coast. That sunshine played havoc with taking photos. 

Garden one was new to me, and in it's current form, was only 3 years old. The farmhouse at around 1000' was nestled into the hillside, so the garden behind had been tiered. Many huge rocks, carried downstream in the Lynmouth flood of '52 had been used to create walls, while old digger tracks made of rubber had been repurposed as edges to beds and steps.

These photos don't really do the place justice. The sunshine made full-on photography of the walls tricky.

Ooh, like the street art, Less, but it raises questions, like Bluey's.  Looks like it may be 'redeveloped' soon.  The spider's street art is also a good spot, pp, albeit that it hints of another season around the corner.  You notice things others would probably miss.   

OT: Damp feeling start, soon to be wettish for a while. Don't care, as I've admin to do with the Land Registry, who've somehow lost our property's details and my account. It was all there in 2023!

Late arrival after a very restless night with the back, no matter how I tried it would not get in a comfy position, so gave up and dozed in the reclining lounger electric chair

I managed to break my floor standing light by reclining too far, and the light crashed over & showed its Chinese heritage by coming apart. Can we fix it? Yes we can!

Dull and a bit breezy, but no Floris rain anticipated here

Hadn't thought about hot water bottle for back YBE, I'll try that. I have some other oinkment which I dare not name on here, but it relates to heat. Maybe try both later?

Congrats on the sunflowers, and the apples looking like "real" ones. One good thing about apples, once the tree knows what to do, it does it for years & years.

Regarding YT & phone number. I agree with Dusty, love YT, I see it is only second to Beeb now in viewing figures. 

And I gave up licence and opted for Amazon P, but have dabbled in others. 

You don't need licence for them, unless you watch some certain live stuff, like say a footie final

BTW I watch, recorded & streamed by someone, not the Beeb, BG on YT, Only C is also on there, not that I watch that, but do like it.

Looks a lovely cottage, Dusty, good use of treads, proper recycling. 

No gardening again today, hoping new BG pops up on YT, this week's GW appeared on there yesterday

Pic is my over wintered canna, now on the way do doing something, but no flower spike yet
