WEEKLY CHAT (non-osprey) SUNDAY JULY 7 2024

Another dry day – no rain, not even the threatened drizzle.  Local window-blind man came this morning  - he repaired some which had bits gone slightly wrong, but we need to replace the two in the lounge (biggest and most expensive, of course!)  Went to local supermarkets this afternoon.  I had a melt-down in Tesco – “I hate food” was my basic thought, and I made it known!  Feeling better now, but I still hate food.

Just handed J’s medicine management back to him, as he is coping well now – I think all the nasty extra meds are now out of his system.

CLARE – me too! I also love pied wagtails.  The ones who used to sing nightly roosting in the tree outside our local Indian restaurant all left a few years ago, but we see the occasional few on the Aldi car park.

LINDA – One disadvantage of drinking plenty to flush things out – what goes in needs to come out!  I hope he will soon get more sleep and that you will soon hear biopsy results.

DIBNLIB – pleased to hear about the follow-up scan result – and a long wait till the next one is due.  Pleased also about Benson.

HEATHER – were the family there for gardening?

I am hoping E-E will plant some follow-on lettuce and radish seeds this weekend, before this summer disappears again.

OG:  Oh I can certainly relate to having a meltdown in a supermarket.  I like food; just hate shopping for and cooking it. :-)

Well, Novak Djokovich has thoughtfully just won the men's semi-final in time for lunch.  His opponent Musetti (one of the up-and-comers) played a really good game and Novak will face Alcarez - another really good young contender - on Sunday, but at 5 a.m.our time!. Arghhh.   That, plus the England/Spain at noon on Sunday means not a lot will get done.

Sorry, folks, it wouldn't post earlier - now it's done it three times!!!!

Good news, dibnlib. That was a long wait. 

Annette - I'm enjoying the tennis. 

Ghastly weather here:  drizzle quite a lot of the day. Some of the roses are just rotting in their buds and our sweet peas are no bigger than a week ago - may have to scrap them altogether! I had to go and find some socks to wear to warm up my feet!!

LINDY  I think this is the best Wimbledon for years.  Dare I say thank goodness the Williams sisters are no longer around to play their very boring game.

Trying to drizzle here today, but OH has hoed the veg patch and said it is dry enough to sow some seeds – maybe it will happen this afternoon!

I never got enthusiastic about Wimbledon this year – just too much sport everywhere this summer – something like five weeks of Olympics ahead - but was pleased with cricket result. 

Decided we can’t be bothered to go to first history exhibition of the summer this weekend – guess what the subject is – sport!  Next one in two weeks is Arts – so may get to that one!

OG - I am glad some gardening is getting done somewhere! It continues to be grey, damp and uninspiring here!! I was watching the golf from North Berwick yesterday and it looked lovely up there. Nice and sunny!! I too am not a tennis fan. I do enjoy the Tour de France and hope AQ is able to enjoy it too with everything that is going on. I will watch the football from behind the sofa tomorrow!! (lol)

Lindy - having failed with my sweet peas last year (for the first time ever) I have planted them in a different spot in my sunny border and they are better. I am cutting a small vase full about every 5 days. They smell lovely.
