Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Farway

Sun & blue sky, I was up early, having woken for a plumbing inspection I foolishly thought I'd catch the footy score on the wireless before I dozed off again. By then it was 3-2 with added time so had to stick around to the end.

Watering all done, just important bits, not everything. There is a hosepipe ban for lot of Hampshire, but not me, I'm drinking Pompey water, comes from springs under the chalk, even in '76 we were fine, but a late ban was imposed just for solidarity with rest of country

Spot the weed Comp, I spy something beginning with N, middle foreground

OT, fridge freezer arrived from up River, carried by two Native Albian porters. They were extremely good, unpacked & in the kitchen in a jiffy. Old one lifted & gone. The unpack & removal were "free", and included in the package, but worth paying for, I'd never have managed on my own. They turned down my offer of a cold can of Coke, at least I offered in this weather. All that's left to do is register purchase, for Warranty, with Bosch.

2P I like the laverwhatsit that's upright like a cross between hollyhock and delphinium neither of which I can grow. Might be the answer Did you see GW this week with enviable delphiniums? I can't grow them either, slug fodder

While watering I spotted another tom forming, this time outdoors on Bajaja, which is one of the Micro ones, so I'll be watching that closely. Although classed Micro it seems to grow according to root run, in open it gets large, in a window pot it stays in bounds. Says hanging but mine are upright bushes. Depending on taste it may become one of my regulars

Not everything is wonderful. Here are my Right Wing baskets. As you can see one is rooting for the Norwegian footy team and heading Northwards, The other is thinking about it and browsing the Fiords catalogue

Both are in same, carp, compost, and had same watering etc. They are in hot sun but so are other plants, seedlings. plants are Alyssum, lobelia & beetroot [the red healthy ones]

Left large to see full horrors
