Awful weather - typical Brits talk

twopenny

Well yes, couldn't get in this morning 😬
Not much point either because it was (unpredicted) high winds. They have a warning now. Bit late as the crowds have been out and about but we all had hair like - we'd been pulled through a hedge backwards.

Nothing garden wise to report. There's a lot of hollyhock seed around which may just fall into my pocket. I gave up growing them because in my last place they just got rust but I have a fancy to grow them again.

Been out and about to the repair shop, art week studios and some great advice from an artist friend about the hip op.....or should I say hip hop because there was a 40s weekend in a town nearby. That was good and all 🙂

The tomatoes I tethered are still up but it's blowing a hoolie out there so we'll see tomorrow morning.
Just right for settling down with a glass of something medicinal and watching Strictly 🙂

Farway, you are naughty 😉
Fairies are still standing out there.

Lovely nuts Less 😁

Dusty I so want one of those cakes! They look delicious 😋

To return to the subject of knees & toes, I have found some improvement from turmeric, though not from chucking it in my curry, if you get my meaning.  Of course, it might not work for others, and it might be coincidence too, so a longer term trial is under way. 

So, am now imagining you with bright yellow feet...

Which reminds me - the Beach flower arrangement - very nice, but not sure that I've seen many of those plants in maritime situations

My feet must stay yellow in the interests of staying within the rules by not actually mentioning the supplement I've tested for a time. Despite the great freedom of speech our Leader assures us we have, I've found discussion of anything vaguely medical here somewhat tricky. Turmeric is cooking, not meds.

It's also worth saying turmeric has found other uses within our family in recent years. For example, it's essential to coat the bride and bridegroom with it on the night before their wedding....if you're a Hindu, that is!   I'm not sure why, but perhaps it stimulates parts other spices don't quite reach!

I think it's 2p who has fairies at the bottom of her garden, 

I found some as well, no AI involved at all 

Hmm...Perhaps your Fairies aren't quite representative of today's highly diverse society, so I give you, by way of balance, a few I found down by the stream.  I'm not sure which one is Nelly Dean. None of them is wearing gingham, and I doubt if they're a day over 14, so I guess I'll have to look again in a year or two.

OT:It was all lies about the sunny day here.  We had a wet morning followed by a brief sunny interval, when, after discovering the above maidens, peering through Mr Canute's privacy fence, I foolishly tried to clear the 80' gutter on the barn. Suddenly, all hell was let loose, and I had to  flee to the polytunnel.  90minutes of pirking-out followed, accompanied by horrible thrashing noises, before I gave up and came indoors. Poor Bluey, if it was nasty here, I dread to think what it's been like around the Lakes, where the worst of it seems to have gone...or did we decide she went further south?

Well it looks alright up there give or take a bit of rain but that's why they've got lakes right 😆
My take was the fact she's not posting means she's having a good time.

If you want fairies try this painting from Edinburgh national gallery.
The man who painted it had had a row with the council but accepted and paid for his classical painting.
