The Express highlights the new rules that Camelot are introducing to the Lotto game. Condemnation from all sides as the odds against winning dwindle - - -
Closer to home,
I managed a couple of hours logging yesterday and it was quite pleasant to get back to sawing up felled trees rather than the monotonous task of making firewood out of piles of branches from last years work. I'll operate that way from now on and once i clear away a few small stragglers form last year its on to the "big boys"
In the afternoon i replaced the round, ball type peanut feeder
after refurbishing the old one which the squirrel had managed to damage. The round one had holes big enough for the squirrel and the larger birds to take completer nuts out so hopefully they will last a bit longer in the cylindrical feeder.
I spent quite some time in the garden watering in the afternoon and decided to snap some pics to capture the growing number of blooms we have
the foxgloves are really "reaching for the sky" this year
after considering digging up the old ornamental ?whatever it is? its now pushing out branches all over the place. We are hoping for some blossom next spring
the roses on the southern pergola are great and the fragrance is very nice
Henry the heron looks down the garden and and the wisteria will need cutting back soon
the Azalia is past its best but the pot of Lupins has some splendid blooms. We always claim not to be able to grow Lupins but the seeds from this variety are appearing all over the garden
the laurels are doing well and in some places are higher than the hideous neighbours fence
we are trying to create a hedge from these seedlings which have just grown from falling seeds
the previously "bloomless" Irises are giving a dazzling display
lupins and foxgloves abound
and heres a view of the garden from the bottom bed where we intend to put some roses this Autumn
LM brought in this full sized rabbit last night then decided not to eat it ! - - - reviewing the security camera footage of him getting it through the cat flap was interesting! - - -
