Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Other news is that I have an interview next week -  this is something I'm qualified to do and somewhere I'd love to work, so fingers crossed.
I've put my Sweet Williams in pots and am treating them as annuals really, just a splash of colour next to my front door. 

Oh, that is good news! If you really want it, you'll probably interview extra well. 

Stick the SWs in the ground when they've done their bit in pots. You should get another year from them.    Hmm, but I can't get my new ones to flower! 

Farway

Sunny with a nice breeze. Ideal sort of day for most things.

My back continues to improve and still applying oinkment, I'm at the “be sensible” stage about lifting, moving around, watering, fruit picking, wheelie bin lugging. 

Watering will continue half a can as required & not routine.

Best of luck on interview PP, and well done on the whirlpool, something I'd like to see, from dry land

Wee convertible sounds good, but out of place for Scottish weather, like the Range Rovers in London

Now, will it be a Range Rover convertible? Best of both worlds. 

Nice toms Less, far better than my efforts this year.

I was also wondering about the Ana on YT yellow manky toms, mine are not much better though

Sadly, very few new cars are bought with an eye on what they'll be like 7 years hence. You tell himself older cars are making a comeback, as more folk realise the future bother that's been saved up in younger vehicles, stuffed with 'innovations' of various sorts.

I saw a bit last week, some older cars are selling at premium now, due to the ECO can't build new non EV ones and so older ICE cars are a vanishing pool

 GC2 looks happy enough there, and wet feet are part of growing up, as are over topped water filled wellies

YBE, pear looking good, only ten more years to go to cropping now 

Waiting for the sun to get warning before I go to pick the apples, loads of windfalls, so I know they are ready. It's an early unknown one, doesn't keep, but I stew & freeze.

Some of them, including the windfalls

Wow that's a lot to catch up on so I'll be back later 😲
Lots of good news and congratulations!
Weather nice, cool breeze, still dry so been busy

Ok so what I can remember, because if I try to do individual posts I'll be forever!

Bluey, I hate my little car. People keep running into it. Box on wheels. But brilliant inside design inside - I have a hidden large drawer my friend pointed out last week. No idea what to hide but they don't include them in her new one.
Congratulations on getting the one you love. I like those swifts.🙂

Thanks for the offer of a bit of water lilly eeeke was it Wort or Taff? But my pond isn't big enough - yet 😉

Farway glad you have your mojo back. Long may it last 🙂
Amazing amount of apples 😲 as do my neighbours which I can see. I have zilch.

Poppy that's great news about the interview 😁

Dusty  still loving the green photos. I'd post those of my garden but it's depressing with no flowers and dying plants.

Less, grrrrr to tomatoes 😬 mine are still small and green just hanging on there 

Lovely day yesterday, warm with cool breeze, all neighbours out front gardening chatting and I got my fence painted, my bench painted, repaired, pavers and mortar done, new pots for geraniums etc.

Today woke at 4.45 by neighbours son, 6.30 by guy going to his allotment, 8.30 they arrived to resurface the tennis courts, 1,30 allotment guy returns to trim a bush with electric hedge trimmer it's overgrown against his gate. Then resurfacing started again. 
I'm soooo tired. 
Did manage to prune,dead head the roses. Lots of dead wood. But the noise was doing me in and too tired to go out.

Ot, weather was unexpectedly mild, flat cloud, 5min sprinkle of rain and stuffy.
All prepared for the heatwave that didn't arrive.
So we've gone nearly 4mts with only one briefly rainy day. Nose stuffed up from the dry. The ground is dust. You can have too much of a good thing.

This was supposed to be grey blue 🤔



Yet to be potted up



Trying to provide a bit of privacy from the road but they are all growing dumpy and flat from the excessive sunlight and not flowering from the dry despite soaking watering.
