Its a lovely day today...

[Lyd12]

following in Fred's footsteps, a musical heading. so whatever you're going to do, you've got a lovely day to do it in! that's true!

I've just put on a beef casserole, bit out of season but some veg needed using up and its Tony' s favourite meal. bonus is there will be enough for tomorrow so easy lunch.

A farmer and his wife are preparing for their anniversary dinner. the wife says, 'Should I go out and kill a chicken?' the husband replies, 'Why blame a bird for something that happened twenty years ago?'. Iris x

the summer pots are coming along nicely.

where in the country are you, Cough? sorry its not sunny for you, these days are rare enough this year. How is your young cat? Hope it was good news from the vet. Iris x I'm in Hertfordshire, by the way.

thanks Tadaw, its a climbing rose called "Nice Day" and it only grows to that height, so Ok in that position. Very reliable if you are shopping for a rose! iris x

Hi lyd,

Great joke made me laugh

And a beautiful photo, yes we had another lovely day up here in scotland, about 23 degrees they've been very rare up here this year believe me,, but alas,,the forecast says its to drop about 10 degrees on saturday,,,, , o well they MIGHT be wrong

Hope you enjoyed your casserole,, it sounded good

lots of love jimmy xxx

Hi Jimmy, glad you liked the joke. Casserole was smashing, Tescos finest slow cooked beef is very tender and as we dont enjoy steaks any more this is what we like best. Easy way to get some vegetables too. Little and good for us nowadays. Tony is 85, and cuts the grass and keeps everything tidy. Hope you are OK. Love Iris x

[Lyd12 in reply to bulpit]

thanks, Bulpit. Hope you are as well as can be. Weather has been kind lately, and some welcome rain due later". Hope its not too damaging to all the plants. Iris x

Morning! and thanks for the joke - my husband appreciated it 😉😉 That's a really beautiful rose - I think I'll be off to the garden centre today to see if they have one lol. Jan xx

[Lyd12 in reply to Hidden]

I love garden centres, but as we dont drive anymore I have to be content with our market, which is excellent and I buy far too many plants! Hope you find something nice. Love Iris x

My roses have decided to bloom.

I kill th turkey almost every day. They say there's more protein in it than beef! Beef's not bad though, Mic

I've not appeared because I feel so very well. NO other news than prcticing the flute and going to the gym!
