Hi SlimLizzyHi @alf_ the extra struts for stability are diagonal. Today the whole thing was rattling and groaning under stress from the wind. Also one pot of seeds seems to have been blown entirely away while the panels were out overnight. I planted aubergine seeds. But the pot with them in is nowhere to be found. Actually thought i hadn't potted them, but no seed packet, used as label and MrSlim remembers seeing them. Very odd as I would have thought an upturned pot would at least leave a trail of compost.
Enjoy that coffee @dunelmGood morning everyone on a pretty dull start to the short weekend here in the dark and dangerous north. Mainly unsupervised yesterday as Mrs Miggins and her sisters were doing that ‘ladies who lunch’ thing. They must need the practice as they give it a go every month. Clocks going forward tonight - but with what, I don’t know. Perhaps this is another opportunity for someone to declare how much tax they paid last year while we are distracted. I wonder if HMRC do discount cards? Art bit, adding some details. Hope your day is a good one - in places at least. I shall savour some koffy together with the quiet of the morning.

Yes, have a very stern word with the person in charge of your diary!!!6.2 this morning. Really pleased with another 6. Blood sugars definitely going in right direction.
Today I am working without even a five minute break between 10.45am and 6pm.
Must give the person in charge of my diary a final written warning. Oh, hold on, I am in charge of my diary. When will I ever learn that I must schedule in breaks.
Cheeky ****** catWhy did I wake up in the night?
I was asleep and Midnight was asleep on top of me and I could feel he was agitated. I was half asleep and I put my hand on him to calm him down, but I could feel he was growling. So, I reach my other hand out to pull the light switch and staring at me was a cat I had never seen before. The cat was stealing Mdnight's cat biscuits by the door.
Thank you Ian.Morning all from you know where on the Feast of The Annunciation 2023. Yes folks, only 9 shopping months to Christmas. If you can find them it is probably time for some to put the sprouts on particularly in areas like this with no NHS dentists. There is a keen wind here on which I'm far from keen. My fbg at 5.24 am was 4.4 rising inexorably to a dizzy 5.00 by 7.24 am. @gennepher thanks for the latest lighthouse bedecked in vibrant colours. Well done Midnight. @dunelm thanks for sharing the latest development of your art. @SlimLizzy hug for the greenhouse issues. @Annb hug for the pain, winner for being a top, top grandmother. Em's blessed to have you in her life and her big sister is blessed to have a car. @Krystyna23040 yes you should have breaks but you wouldn't be the unique person you are if you changed. Today two sons are clearing MIL's kitchen so either 2, 3 or 4 grandchildren will be here which fits nicely with the feast day. @alf_Josiah is/will today be the day? @lindisfel I hope the antibiotics are starting to work. Everyone else, do whatever it is you do with love and consideration.

On nighttime wildlife camera...
Badger & Fox & Cat
A determined badger (he gets the catfood)
Creative is a digitally painted #6 Lighthouse in Procreate.
I painted it when I woke up in the night, but when I looked at it this morning, it was a Leaning Tower of Pisa...
Fortunately, there is a feature in Snapseed, where you can pull the picture (whichever corner you need) slightly over in the other direction, and in this way I straightened the Lighthouse!
Why did I wake up in the night?
I was asleep and Midnight was asleep on top of me and I could feel he was agitated. I was half asleep and I put my hand on him to calm him down, but I could feel he was growling. So, I reach my other hand out to pull the light switch and staring at me was a cat I had never seen before. The cat was stealing Mdnight's cat biscuits by the door.
Who the heck told the stray cat population to come in my bungalow through the catflap, go through the kitchen, go through the hallway, go through the front room, go to the next hallway, and into my bedroom where they would find Midnight's dry cat biscuits? Who told them?
Oh, sort it out, I told Midnight.
And he did. He politely got off the bed, and followed the strange cat until it left out of the cat flap. And I followed Midnight to ensure that happened...hence I was wide awake by now...
The wood pigeons are clearing up the peanuts I put on the bird table for the blackbirds. The male and female blackbirds are clearing up the ground by the swing where the badger, KissyKissy, being an untidy eater, scatters lots of cat biscuits.
Maybe a little nap now and a nice hot cuppa tea.
Have your best kind of day.
I am about to put a steam mask on my eyes...

I still feel out of sync with this clock change...Good morning everyone from an hour into the future here in the dark and dangerous north. Don’t change the clocks - everything still looks the same, unless of course you have been offered a 10 grand a day bung by some fictitious Korean firm. Oh, hang on, that would make you an MP and Lead By Donkeys. We have had a cheese fest going on all week here and today is the last day. Street music, hot food but importantly loads of cheese and associated Paraphernalia in the community centre. Can’t be missed or even mist, weather depending. I think coats and brollys may be needed. Art bit, finishing off details ready for some colour and surround sound. Have a wonderful day. According to the Pastafarian Calendar it’s Make Up Your Own Holiday Day - yipee! I will celebrate with a cafetière of koffy.
