Morning Mr M and Belle. <3 :-D

Hope you’re both in the pink.

Damp underfoot here and more expected. Not cold though.

Two temporary fillings yesterday and a longer appointment booked for permanent ones. I am amazed how he managed to fix the tooth I thought would have to come out. :-S

Warm, sunny and dry in the south east corner.

Daughter and I have been on a spider catching mission..... unsuccessful :-0 :-| :-0

Morning Fly and Gwyn. <3 :-D

Spiders Gwyn. :-S

We have a daddy-long-legs which has set up home in our downstairs loo and I always greet it when I have ‘to go’. I like the way they get rid of horrible insects.

Joy, This was a big hairy one, which was on the ceiling just outside daughter's room... She hates them, but is OK for us to catch them with see-through cup and a card to hold them in place. They are then taken across the road to some open ground.

The spider was too high to reach, so we got a long tube with plastic cup over the bottom open end, then tried to manoevre it to a nearer position.
Not sure quite what happened, but we lost it and it's gone scuttling off to hide ( in her clothes, she suggests ? :-0 )

She has now gone out with my elder daughter, so I have all the 'kit' upstairs ready in case it reappears :-0

Morning to everyone.
Bright & sunny here but quite windy, not gale force but enough to blow off plenty of leaves from the trees, not looking forward to having to sweep them up on a daily basis!
I have been into the garden already as I had to water my recently planted new plants & my Bonsai trees, we really need some rain now as my bowie is almost empty once again.

Hope evryone has a nice day / weekend, Take care.

Yep, bright and sunny here too, and quite warm.

Went to Sparkles early this morning. I did leave a few things on the shelves. :-D :-D ;-)

Morning all :-D <3

Bright and sunny here :-D :-D

Just waiting for the rocket to take off. I do hope they manage to get it into orbit today

otherwise it looks like another failed mission :-(

Hope you can catch the spider Gwyn. We have a huge on in the lounge and another

lurking amongst the bricks under our water butt. ;-) ;-)

Morning Joan, Maddie and Von :-)

I hope they are successful today. I remember watching the moon landings all those years ago.

Spiders in the lounge are tolerated, but daughter hates the thought that one might crawl on her at night :-0

Good morning Joan, Maddie and Von. <3 :-D

Gwyn, I use a glass and a sheet of paper to catch bees so similar to your spider catching.

We used to have some sizeable huntsman spiders in our house which we were always happy about. :-D

Von, you are the gardener so may I ask is it usual for cosmos to reach over five feet in height?

Gwyn in Kent

Gwyn in Kent Report 3 Sep 2022 12:05

Gosh that's tall Joy :-0

I hope Von can help.

What I do know is that cosmos seem to have thrived well this year even in the extreme conditions.
Some have even self-seeded onto our drive from a nearby garden and are doing very well, flourishing on neglect :-S
Never happened before.

JoyLouise Report 3 Sep 2022 12:48

I expected them be bedding to fill the soil around one of our rhodos, Gwyn, but it has been hidden by them. I planted the seeds straight into the garden and I m wondering if I picked up a pack of exceptionally tall ones by mistake. No matter, they are blooming beautifully - a few white, a lot of pink, a few deep cerise and one wallflower! We have never grown wallflowers so I think it must have crept into the seed packet unseen. :-D

Sorry can’t help really. I haven’t grown them this year but I follow a group of Gardeners

online and it has been a frequently asked question regarding cosmos this year with

people having varying degrees of success or failure due to the weather. The height

does seem to vary but I think some seem to have grown spectacularly tall due to the weather.

It’s now raining. ;-)

Been round to the Darlinks to see how they are getting on with the conversion works, Alice is covered in fence paint and Prince is on his Play Station…..sounds about right

Hi Ann and good afternoon everyone. <3 :-D

Von, OH has had to stake them. They are taller than I am - you've met me so you'll realise they are higher than 5 feet. :-D
