Regarding the birthday email to your Mum, in my emil provider (Gmail) I am able to write an email and the schedule the send time and date, without me needing to do anything else. Does your provider offer anything similar?

On my mobile I go into compose click the 3 dots in the top right of the screen, one of the options is scheduled send. It is similar on my computer.

I find it really annoying that those of us who are less technically savvy keep finding important things hidden behind those perishing three dots.

What was the Border of Doom ….

Is henceforth to be renamed as the ‘sit-spot viewing border’ - we can see it from our new veranda 😊

This has pretty much taken all weekend, but …. the largest part of the border is clear of ‘volunteers’ and random runaways such as mint, oregano and the weird, steel-green leaved, violently yellow flowered, lupin-like thing 😊 

Cut a clean border between the bed and the lawn, top dressed it with two bags of sterile, good quality compost and got one plant in (zoom in on last photo - it’s a pink dahlia, honest! 😂) before running out of day (and back motility!). I’ve got the sprinkler on it now to give all the plant roots I have disturbed over the past two days a good, settling-back-in drink and to deter cat-friends thinking it is a ‘facility’ for them 😉 The cream of the job comes now - planting all the plants I have scattered everywhere in pots 😊

Really, proper proud of myself 😊❤️🎉

Mr KK and I have been debating booking a cottage in St Ives for a week in September. We’ve agreed that we don’t want to spend £600 each on a cottage, £plus, £plus, £plus …. So instead, I will book that week off work and we will staycation - have dinner out somewhere, go to Hay on Wye for the day, maybe go to the cinema, have a day at the beach, etc 😊 I am much happier with this idea and I think it helped that I was able to say that I had seen others having similar debates and making similar decisions on here 😉

Ooh and then you can spend £plus, £plus, £plus on books in Hay! 

Staycation is definitely the choice I'll be making this year, unless the finances drastically change. Cornwall in particular just seems so expensive compared to everyone else.

The garden looks so much tidier!

Hahaha … you’ve been listening in on us! 😂 I might treat myself to some new earrings actually as I love the crystal shop at the top of the car park in Hay 😊

This section of the garden looks tidier <draws discreet veil over almost every other area of the garden> 😉
I am pleased though - this is a job I have been trying to do for three years. I was defeated by lack of knowledge of local weeds in the first year, long covid in the second and crazy hot weather last year. But I’ve got there in the end 😊👏💪
