This is part of my back garden.
I think I have had good fortune with my efforts.

On more serious things.
Mrs L has been to the hospital twice after a doctor came out to see her.
Her ankles have swollen, Mrs L has had a scan and blood tests.
The response to the call out has been fabulous and Mrs L has been on antibiotics for three days.
Don't believe that the change in meds is working and all this is side effects.
Her scan and bloods were okay.
We have a specialist from the mental health team calling Monday and I'm concerned.

Also on Monday is #7 9th birthday. First of the eight, and another seven plus adults from now to new year.
The Yorkie gang came over to here cos of half term. It has been too long .
#8 has given everyone a smooth nose and a dry throat. I have sneezing, it hurts my stupid neck.
I'm not aware of I can't remember it must be catching. But my middle son, now works for a cancer charity.
And yes, he was invited to the buck house party for cancer charities.
And one of the butlers on duty, came from around here. And kept topping up the champagne flutes in his hand.
We Scousers are very good at looking after those in need.
There has been an underground movement, for years about declaring independence from Wales and the English!
Ha!
I did have family in Liverpool, when the car hit the people. So many questions?
Over a million people on the routes, and under lockdown for over an hour. No transport out of the city and nowhere to go. The tunnels were still open but the traffic restrictions were strict.
I'm ok, but mentally tired.
The weather for the kids half term has not been as worse as the weather forecasters have said. Around four pm this afternoon. It was like a summers day. Very warm. With no wind.
Once again, I am so busy not to reply to posts and the site is playing silly buggers, getting on line.
I will be back. Ha!
My best to each and everyone.

Thank you for sharing those pictures. I know how much pleasure you find from gardening. Sorry to hear of the hospital visits for Mrs L but hopefully the specialist will offer some help and advice. Take care.

Did in the end go to the market with a friend who had visited especially to attend. She has leukaemia and normally it is her having dizzy spells, but yesterday was me needing to lean on her briefly.
The HH(Helpful handyman) came again finished taking off the roof and replaced the membrane and battens. MrSlim found it too hot up there, it's single story, with scaffold, he was only up there to explain the job. HH had not done that before, but made a decent first attempt. MrSlim is not complaining. So grateful for the Help. However it's only temporary. Neither of us knows for how long as it depends on his other commitments, which increase during the summer.
Kiki has had a run in with one of six cats that live next door, this time however she was the victor and chased the other cat from her garden. It was one of the two young cats, so perhaps a soft target, except that same cat has previously terrified Kiki and extracted multiple tufts of fur. So well done Kiki.
Am feeling increasingly under pressure the list of things that need doing now or in the next few days is getting overwhelming. Taking two days off sick has made that worse.
 
Good morning everyone on what looks like a day when there will be an increase of particle movement in objects thanks mainly to the appearance of the sun.
5.7 this a.m.
Been busy, been sad, been away, marked the completion of another circumnavigation of the sun, mainly happy - life events.
Anyhow.
Yesterday we were invited to spend the summer, or at least some of it with our friends in LA. Had to decline. We have things in place already but we can’t contemplate going to that country while Trumpty Dumpty and his rotten gang are causing such havoc. Bad enough here with Useless Eustace and the Ministry of Fools.
Art bit - picked up the tools again after a break. So, experimenting with mixed media - looks like under the sea to me.
Hope you are all as well as you can be. I shall finish my koffy and get out into this sunshine and warm my bones.

Thanks for sharing the art. Now you've posted that derogatory comment on here the USA may be off limits for a while.

Very much undersea world. Happy "unbirthday" to you as well as to SlimLizzy. Hope the sad part of the last while hasn't been too great. Good to see you back.
 
6.9 this morning.
We have had a lovely visit to Felbrigg Hall. We decided to go there as there were Parkruns at Sheringham Park and Blickling Hall.

After walking around the estate we had coffee in the courtyard of the cafe.

Mr K thought it was better to go today, rather than Sunday as I am still recovering from my somersault down the stairs and I can rest tomorrow before back to classes on Monday.

As always, Mr K is spot on.

I have some similar in red and they too are heavily scented with long lasting flowers. Maybe because they are closer to the original wild roses? My other more highly bred roses some have perfume, others only a faint trace of it, but all of them need the dead flowers cutting off at least every other day. The simple red rose seems to last for weeks and smells heavenly.

I think my white rose is a Rosa rugosa, @SlimLizzy
My white rose does smell heavenly
