After managing to wrench it from his grubby hands I knitted a hat last
night, there will be more. Our grandsons will love them! And they're a great
way of reducing the stash :-)

I wondered when you'd be able to get it away from him Mary but knew you'd
manage it somehow (LOL). Will there be any pictures of the hats as I'd
love to see them?

We were lying in bed last night and he heard a drip ... drip ... drip ... I
didn't because I'm a little hard of hearing. And didn't want to. We've had a
LOT of rain since the beginning of May, you might have heard about flooding.
We're on a hill so weren't inundated but there's a flat rooof over our bay
window and the lead covering has aged, crept, cracked and become
weatherworn. It's even older than us but I know how it feels :-)

There was water ingress through the flat roof, dripping into the bay,
settling on the windowsill and splashing onto his discarded clothes. Serves
him right, he should put them away properly :-)

So this morning he was up the ladder with a roll of lead flashing and I took
the opportunity of sneaking the book from under his cushion whistles

Will there be any pictures of the hats as I'd
love to see them?

Oh, OK, I'll finish another this afternoon but I don't think I've done it
exactly right. No problem, it can come out and be re-done. I must say that
the pictures in the book are disappointing, there are no legends, they're
monochrome and not very clear so they don't help much.

Then I'll make a tassel for the first and send a pic. Unless I start another
before the play finishes ... :-)

Oh dear, I hope the rain has done no more damage than that. This really
has been the wettest summer I can remember, even the garden flowers have
not grown properly.

Has he noticed it has gone "walkabout" yet? I'll look forward to seeing
those pics when you get around to it.

Oh dear, I hope the rain has done no more damage than that. This really
has been the wettest summer I can remember, even the garden flowers have
not grown properly.

The flowers aren't bad - although I'm not a flower man really. Most
vegetables are enjoying it but outdoor tomatoes look a tad shrunken. I've
spent the morning cutting back luxuriant tree and shrub growth so that I
don't have to fight my way through to get from A to B :-)

I'm pleased that the rain has sought out weak points and that it's happened
while he's still fit enough to go up ladders and work on the roof.

Has he noticed it has gone "walkabout" yet? I'll look forward to seeing
those pics when you get around to it.

He hasn't - I've kept him too busy

I pulled out the second one, it was too small for anyone and I'd tried to be
clever and assumed what was meant in the instructions. Ha! How are the might
fallen :-) But I'm making it bigger and stayed up until 11 pm last night
working on it. I've also been thinking of making the colours photogenic -
just for you :-)

The pictures WILL happen, promise. I mused whether to pose then alone, as in
the book, or on a model - the Bearded Wonder :-)

He certainly sounds a "handy man" to have around :-)

I must admit the nasturtiums and cornflowers have done well but the slugs
got my poppies.

It's been good for herbs though. The tarragon I have in a pot (it's a
beast for spreading otherwise) has done well and I've even managed to get
the seeds of fenugreek (methi) to grow. Around here you can get the seeds
but not the leaf so I've taken to growing my own on a window sill and as
it is a strong flavour you don't need much.

I've also cropped and dried the lovage leafs for use in the winter as they
make a lovley soup when mixed with potatoes. Nice for a cold winter day.

Now that is very kind Mary (LOL).

I'll just have to wait and see then, they always say "anticipation is
half the pleasure" but I'm not sure I agree. I like everything as of
yesterday!

I don't know what I'd do without him - but if he dies before me I can rely
on the famiy, they've inherited all that's best from him. Sadly, they've
also inherited all that's worst in me :-)

They're not touching mine. Mind you, when you have a plot full of brassica
why should they bother?

I can't grow tarragon at all, I've tried for years :-(

I've never tried, it's not something I use although i have a pot of dried
seeds in the pantry.

They are, but too big for my garden :-(

Oh - another short term hedonist :-) I'd say don't hold your breat :-)

I worked on it last night and wondered if I'd have to pull it out again. It
doesn't ook too bad this morning but I've busy with the ironing all today so
might not be able to pick it up until tonight.

Sorry!
