London is a nightmare to drive to and beware of the yellow box .. it can cost you an arm and a leg if you are caught.. not to mention the stiff parking charges. Don't like London at all, apart from Regents Park where I could feel all the buzz ..

Howdy folks :)
Warm last night and warm now. Sun is out, sky is blue and we are in for a lovely day (y)

Saw the sun too late and didn't turn on the machine. Now I have missed a gold opportunity.

Haven't done a lot of Gardening, just cut out the old fruiting canes off a blackberry and tied in the new. Did a few smaller things like filled up the bird feeders, cut up a pineapple, cleaned the toilets, watered the wallflowers in the garden.

cleaned the toilets ?? :eek::p This is getting very detailed! :LOL:

Well, I harvested my compost tea today. Impressed. Topped up some ground eggshells on the top tier of the wormery. This man told me that it took his gf 4 months to harvest the tea. I poured it neat on to the irises. Hope they are still alive tomorrow. Ahhhhhhh ...

Ah, time for another cuppa! Tomorrow I must hunt for the plants mentioned in @Vishu1708 's video. Such a useful video. At this rate, I don't have to move. Just shut up and breathe in the air cleansed by these plants.
