Periwinkle was my most hated weed (vinca major/minor) a few years back. I can't believe people buy it etc....
I don’t understand why people buy it either - it should come with an environmental warning. Strangles other plants, runs riot, will take an entire garden over if serious action isn’t taken.
must have fought vinca for a decade or more.

What beautiful scenes @Starlight_at_Sea 😍
I'm not getting too excited yet but I think I might have a stray poppy hiding behind my buddleia, the leaves look very much like one but it's not flowering yet. This is my gardening philosophy, whenever I see a plant I wait to see what the flowers are like before deciding whether it's a weed 🤣
WFH today and tomorrow. Mr M shop delivered and packed away by 7am, nothing missing or subbed. This week's voucher was £2 off veg.
Mr SA still unwell, we took the dog out earlier but he's back in bed now. He was a right pain in the night as he kept pulling the duvet all over and I had to keep getting out of bed to straighten it. At one stage I was barely covered by it! Then he switched the TV on at 3am!
£125 sent to the Principality RS.
Today's exercise was dog walking earlier, a live Zumba session at lunchtime and resistance bands tonight. This week is a bit of a Zumba fest as one of the instructors is on holiday so the Zumba lady is covering her classes.
Making Quorn lasagne for tonight's dinner, will need to make some room in the freezer for the surplus portions.
Cleaning task is the bathroom plus I want to get all the floors vacuumed/swept and steam mopped. I love my WFH Tuesdays as I have a fair bit of spare time between logging off and the resistance bands class at 6.45 so manage to get loads done.
The weather is horrible here today, gloomy and quite cool.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
