Hi All

Mowed the lawn (meadow grass really) at weekend, looking nice and tidy, but now my back is playing up again.

Jeff, just save the relevant pages into a folder and send the brochures for recycling.

Caroline, what is it with Golfers who play on  in the rain. Cricket and Tennis play stops and they are usually pulling the covers over.

Wimbledon close the roof on Centre Court and just looked it up, it takes about 10 minutes, but even with the roof shut play does not resume until the air stabilises.

Yesterday, I needed something to make me laugh, so I typed in Comedians on Youtube and got the following line up:-

I had to keep putting it on hold and looking up most of the by a names as I was determined to write them down and here they are 1 to 10, trouble is all the laughing hurt my brain seriously and suffering a bit this am:-

Jon Richardson,
Sarah Millican,
John Bishop,
Rhod Gilbert,
Micky Flanagan,
Sean Lock,
Ardal O'Hanlon,
Milton Jones,
Kevin Bridges,
Jason Mountford.

The only two I could remember was Sarah Millican and Keven Bridges.

Micky and Mr Mountford gave clues and mentioned themselves in their jokes and one said this is _____ and good night, so on the original recording he was at the end of the original show.

I had a terrible job with Ardal O'Hanlon despite recognising his voice, I got two other Irish Comedians on Google but their faces were not right and thought he was on Mrs Brown's Boys [wrong], then when I got his name I think it said he was on Father Ted. After getting his full name, something made me think he had just mentioned Ardal as a place name in one of his gaffs, so I didn't even realise he had dropped a clue a few moments before.

I got Milton Jones by typing into Google 'Comedian one liners' and knew straight away, I just needed a prompt to recall it from deep in the brain!

Yesterday, I didn't have a rain shower here until the afternoon and then it dried up fairly soon. I went out to check my washing and it was almost dry and just beginning to spit with rain (so I timed that walk into the garden brilliantly) and got it in, in two visits to the garden, with a bulging pocket full of pegs twice 

L.M., nothing beats the old pen and paper.

Such a shame Victoria, ripping out a lot of the hedgerows.

Take Care All, Mark

P.S. beautiful sunrise here too  T.Y.

Just had a milky coffee, porridge, I'm going to have a shower, then out for a walk

After I'd done Sainsburys on Wednesday morning, I went out and actually managed to weed the bits between the paving stones on the area nearest the back door - no mean feat, actually, although my knees didn't enjoy it! As it's the smallest of our paved areas, there's a lot more to do today if the weather lets me. Lopped off lots of overhanging branches bot always wisely. Warm enough to have our pre-prandial slurp out on the paved area, at the table there. Lovely. Absolutely beautiful sunrise this morning.

Well done ,weeding in areas like that is hard,the roots seem even tougher and not much space to get a good grip.

I had my dogwoods cut back, brutally!
Now they need better fine pruning ,strange to say most have the red stems but there are some lime green ones, can’t make out if they are on the same bush,but I doubt it.
My little Cox’s tree has 18 apples this year,the Bramley only  four, but birds got a good few of the flower buds, chaffinches I think.
So much rain earlier in the year has resulted in moss patches in the artificial grass!
I believe vinegar is a good cure,I will look it up.
Salt can seemingly damage the backing!

A cold wet morning here and I have washing to do ,it might ckear up.
I watch the weather forecasts to see if rain is getting to the South East ( Suffolk)but the big blue clouds all pass by over Kent .

Well things to do and it is really cold here so I must get moving .
Look after yourselves folks.

Viktoria.

My way of dealing with the weeds between slabs - pull as much as possible out and then pour some salt into the remains and leave it to do its job!
