I’m not sure even Max knows what he’s doing #dogsofbluesky

Morning Bluesky After last night's heavy rain. It's a sunny and dry morning. Just need to find the motivation to weed around the ponds. Have a good day everyone. #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

It's a dahlia called "Fuzzy". First year I've grown it.

This afternoons strong winds. Have snapped of one of the tall dahlias. Even with a stake. It couldn’t withstand the gusts #flowers #dahlia

A clay jug filled with bright pink and white dahlias. On a kitchen table.
The afternoon winds are causing damage. Sadly this tall dahlia was its first victim.

I think nearly every kid in the 1970's watched Chigley, Trumpton and Camberwick Green. They're so much more innocent than many of today's offerings on choildren's tv.

The house reeks of vinegar and spices. But I'm pleased with how the tomato and chilli chutney has turned out. Just waiting for it to cool. Then it can go out in the garage to mature. #cooking

Morning Bluesky An unexpectedly dry morning. So I've taken a chance and popped Max's basket bedding, in for a wash. Needless to say, he's not impressed and is now glowering at me from the sofa. Have a great Tuesday everybody. #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

Just picked the last of this year’s tomatoes. 5lbs of red and another 5lb of green tomatoes. I’ll use the red for pasta sauces. The green will be turned into chutney #gardening

"The age of the train." Was a far better slogan than "We're getting there." That always sounded more like a sorry excuse than a mission statement.

It was this public information film. About the dangers of trespassing at electric sub-stations. Where a boy gets electrocuted retrieving a frisby. I was only 4 or 5 at the time and just couldn't watch it.

I just dropped my brother and his family off at the station. They're flying out to Indonesia for three week tomorrow. Max is sulking in his basket. He had to stay home, as there wasn't room in the car for him and all the bags and cases.
