I love all your trees @dunelmGood morning everyone on an all things bright and beautiful and wonderfully quiet start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. Girl In The Bubble brought home a sunflower in a little pot from pre-school yesterday. Quite leggy as the very clever teacher had kept them inside and on a window ledge. Still, we set about finding a cane and some garden wire and carefully placed it in the garden in “a nice place”. Some bushes trimmed and I think that there are wasps nesting in a low conifer - wide berth. Girl In The Bubble having a supervised go with secateurs as well as using her mini garden tools. Off down to Brum this morning for a treble dose of grandchildren, what fun. The Prime Minature and Sir Fear Karma seem to be dashing about, cashing in their carbon offsets. Luckily Nigel Mirrage has sniffed out some lucrative position as beer tasting advisor to the orange-turd in a display of compassion to the voting public and Gove has quit in order to learn the didgerydoo. A cure for not only snoring it seems. Art bit - oh wow - some trees! Hope your day is a Saturday. I ought to have some koffy and pack a bag.
Thank you so much @SlimLizzy for the lovely compliment...The drawing of the bluetit is lovely too. I am amazed and awed by how multi talented you are.

Thank you Ian...Good evening all. @dunelm I hope the trip to Brum went well and thank you for sharing your art. @gennepher thank you for sharing the video and amazing kaleidoscope. @Lamont D you must be proud of all those grandchildren. #7 sounds as though she has real talent and #8 sounds like quite a character. @Annb good news on the clearance. @Krystyna23040 enjoy the break. I imagine Mr K rolling his eyes at a packing list. I went to a 5th birthday party - I drank tea, no food (no jelly or ice cream in sight, not sophisticated enough) - then I watched the rugby. Still to watch the cricket and cup final - thanks to @Lamont D I now know the results. Hope you all had a good Saturday.

Thanks @ianpspurs - a 3 hour trip taking 4 hours thanks to cone city and the nothing happening road works.Good evening all. @dunelm I hope the trip to Brum went well and thank you for sharing your art. @gennepher thank you for sharing the video and amazing kaleidoscope. @Lamont D you must be proud of all those grandchildren. #7 sounds as though she has real talent and #8 sounds like quite a character. @Annb good news on the clearance. @Krystyna23040 enjoy the break.

Hope you protected that precious sunflower seedling from the ubiquitous slugsI love all your trees @dunelm

Our magpies have been kicking up a racket too @Lamont D. Perhaps there's a predator on the prowl and they're raising the alarm.I'm amazed at the noise the variety of birds are making, the sparrows, starlings, gulls, pigeons, blackbirds, crows and probably more, are more noisy than the crowd at the nearby stadium usually make on a match day.
Somethings got them going.
Indeed @Lamont D, this looks a lot like damage limitation; an excuse to shelve his morally bankrupt and expensive Rwanda deportation scheme which was doomed to failure, while preventing his own ministers and MPs calling for a leadership contest.I have read or seen that one of the reasons for calling election, is that more than 200k households will receive some bad mortgage news july/August.
And that fishi rishi FiL is happy to be in receipt of some nice contracts, thanks to our titanic disaster pm. And of course, the rats leaving the drowning pie miniature, with the effluent from the water companies, spilling onto the deck chairs of the tory shipwreck of our country.
Sounds a glorious way to spend the day @dunelm .Good morning everyone on a damp start to the day here in The Midlands. Canal walks and woodland trails yesterday afternoon with family. A bit too hot for my liking on the 4 mile meander but never mind, the grandchildren made great use of low lying yet sturdy branches to swing from and a halfway found children’s play area became hit of the day thanks to dad’s good planning. The twins are fearless and headed straight to the monkey bars. Little Miss Pamplemouse is far more cautious. My swollen ankles, thanks to the heat of the afternoon, were easily sorted out by taking a cool and then cold shower and having a well deserved 30 min snooze before tucking into one of our daughter in law’s smashing Thai feasts followed by evening entertainment supplied by the ninky nonks (7 year old identical looking twin girls) as they went laughing and giggling through family photos, testing us all in identifying each of them from birth until now. Out for mid morning breakfast today and then see what the weather entices us to do. Art bit, a couple of bare trees seen yesterday. I thought that they might look happier plonked onto a mound. Hope your day is a good one. I have now successfully circumnavigated yet another trip round the sun on this rollercoaster. Best make koffy and enjoy the next one.
Planning has already started. Mr K has just given me a book he thinks that I will really like to read while we are away.Sometimes the spirit of the social secretary is strong
