Tried to have the blood test again and there were tons of people there. Same last time. But this time, it was even worse and the ticketing machine was covered to stop people from getting a ticket. I wonder if it is a concerted effort to get people to have their blood tested. I found it unbelievable that the doctor said to me 2 items of the blood test did not come out right, and sent me another referral!

More alliums. All these allium self seeded themselves.

These lot are sited on the east facing border which also benefits from the west setting sun and look how happy they are.

I really love this iris called Indian Chief. There is a sheen to the violet colour which is almost shiny.

All these photos taken at 6pm. Summer is here??

Lovely pics alp,esp the brilliant close ups.

Can you get blood tests done at your GP's rather than queue up at the Hosp, I always do that now to save time,

Upsy Daisy: My surgery is very small and dingy. I hate it there, but chose it because it is convenient to walk to. They don't do anything there.

I can't believe the number of people waiting to have their blood tested. Next time, I will take a bus to go to the big hospital which is famous for being the worst in the SE.. Haha, do you know which one? It's infamous, literally!

Hello to @Larisa .. Gearing up for the weekend?

 

[Logan]

Alp, lovely Alliums and irises. My Alliums haven't flowered yet. Can't believe it about the hospital.

 

[alp]

Thank you all. My alliums have been flowering for 2 weeks now. I'm waiting for the scilla Peruvian to flower.. Can't wait.

 

[Larisa]

Hello @alp !
Yes, I'm going to leave town.
When will you sow hibiscus mutabilis?

 

[alp]

@Larisa Hopefully tomorrow. I have been busy at the back of my garden. I should have done it today.

 

[Larisa]

@alp This is a beautiful plant, I like it. Show me when the seeds will germinate.

 

[alp]

Will do, Larisa. But have to do some research first.

My bad leg has started iching, every night I can get my hand further down the top of the plaster. It's a good way to get thin legs.OH has lost 2lbs in weight.

I don't know whom I feel more sorry for - you or your OH?
