Hi everyone. Tired from long day; just saw LOTL blog and not sure I can watch the cam. :-(
Off to check out previous posts.
Pic of my garden again: Roses on a new archway we put in last year (but the rose was recycled from the previous archway, it didnt seem to mind)
Morning all:
Auntie: So happy Mom is progressing; assume she'll be getting a going over by the docs to see how to prevent a recurrence. Do your best to take that trip to Phtiolampi. Do you stay overnight or just visit for the day? I note the restaurant serves very locally caught salmon and fresh pastries. And - let's get our priorities straight here - there's a gift shop. :-)
Margobird: Good grief. You and OH are gadabouts. Is Al Green still alive? Nice to see Tony Bennett still out and about. Have a good time.
OG: How nice that you know your birds by name. Very pretty butterflies - have never seen one with transparent wings. Wonder what triggered that little deviation in their evolution.
Alan: Handbags 1, Shoes 1 after extra time. Hysterical! :-) No injuries I hope.
Lindybird: Love your rose arch. Which rose is that? I'm determined to have at least one in the garden. There's a nursery nearby called La Sumida that specializes in roses and has a massive area that includes arch arrangements (for $$$s). Won't be buying anything there, but will train our own. Have to find out which will work best. We won't actually plant anything in our garden until the end of September/October. The soil will only get hotter and drier from now on. Fall is good in that it's still warm but cooler weather/rainy season on way and new plants won't be stressed. Wonder what the octopus says about the U.S./Ghana match.
Have just found that the US match will be televised live on ABC starting at 11 a.m. Pacific Time - just under two hours away, so must have shower and do minor shopping errand before then. Back later! take care all.
SOOSIN Watched for a while but no action on the Loch Insh osp nest so can't help you on no of chicks. The nest is on an RSPB site so I wonder if they have any info.
OG nice butterfly pics
Half watching the tennis match between Nadal and a very good German player who at the moment is beating Nadal 2 sets to 1
Well I'm settled down in front of telly as the US/Ghana match is about to start. Go USA!! :-))
A scorcher today – had to come in a few times to cool off. Had to come here via my page – but between whiles it has been normal – apparently gremlins in the server again. Just realised, I didn’t make any replies this morning even though I posted – so will try to be brief.
Diane – when I was googling Bilberries etc, I found a reference to them in respect of “floaters” in the eye. I look on my two floaters as familiar friends – think I would miss them if they went, but glad I don’t seem to be getting any more!
Auntie - so pleased your Mum is doing well. I do hope you will get some time away visiting Pohtiolampi – I looked at the website and found lots of lovely pictures of Ospreys and other wildlife there.
Lindybird – not only a poet, but also a mistress of suspense – hope I find out soon what was the Drama next door which you promised us!!! Another beautiful Rose on your arch – lovely deep shade of pink.
Well nobody else around – are you all watching that energetic stuff on the TV? I hope the right individuals, teams etc are winning.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Evening all,
Annette : Just watched the US v Ghana match. It was a great game with very little negative play. Either team could have won but Ghana just shaded it. So we have 2 of the last eight now- Uruguay and Ghana.
I don't know how cold it was as I took myself to church this morn but overnight min was 2.3 C. Church has heaters so it was cosy. OG - Gorgeous butterflies. Lindybird - I love roses. That one is covered in blooms! Alan - "Handbags 1 Shoes 1" and no red card?!! Dibnlib - I started watching the Nadal-Petzschner match but I didn't make it through the first set as the telecast began at 11.25 pm and I was falling asleep. There's not enough time in my life to watch opsreys, tennis and sleep. LOL. Now I'm off to catch up on the Daily news.
Dang, I posted on the old thread. Moved post to new one.
