    Thanks for the 'fingers crossed' vibes, although I'm having 'imposter syndrome' feelings about job number one now :D  I'm probably better off with job number two, or even three (if/when I get offered an interview)... I need to keep thinking about that wee convertible for motivation :D   

    That's a lovely Dahlia, Dusty, I like the wee reflection of it in the background too.

    Thumbs down to 3 hours of broken sleep, YBE :(  I've slept a bit better with having the bedroom door wide open the last few nights. I don't know if it's that or just pure exhaustion, like Farway.

    Grey and cloudy this morning with a high of 20 degrees.

    Late arrival, it is feet day plus into Morries to mooch among the dead plants, and top up diesel ready for trip over DDs on Sunday. 

    Must mention the kindness of strangers. A lady offered & fetched, unasked, a trolley for me from the trolley stowage.  :)
    Then a mid 20s worker, in hi vis, offered to put a reduced 40L of Levingtons in my trolley for me.
    Both very welcome, & maybe I look worse than I feel?  :/

    Morries has Spring bulbs if anyone is looking for some squirrel / rat food

    Very hot sun, going to be a scorcher today.

    Nice dahlia Dusty, my Bishop is just starting to open a bud
    Mind you, even the multi-linked barrels our horsey neighbour has, eventually run out. I see she's lugging one of those roll-along camping containers up the hill daily. It's possibly crossed her mind by now, how useful our unmetered tap used to be, before she reported us to the authorities for things that were entirely legal, and cost us £thousands. Unlike the yanqui crayfish, she had choices. Crayfish can only be what they are. End of sermon.  :)

    Sometimes biters get bit.  >:)

    No gardening today, maybe a bit of watering if I spot a wilting plant, otherwise it's languid lolling watching tele tat in the heat.
