Still a bit of wind around after last night’s storm. Not sure it was a storm particularly but it rained enough to force us inside for the bbq. Lots of food left over. I’m sure it will get eaten. Going to treat meself to a bacon roll this morning. It is the weekend after all. Apparently.
The person doing the weather forecast on the beeb slipped in the word “sadly” when it came to the bit about rain being expected. Sadly?! We’ve all been looking forward to a bit of rain. Well gardeners have anyway. And the water companies. And farmers though it’s probably a bit late for them.
I suppose we could specifically ask for rain overnight, or during the week, or at least when we aren’t planning to have a barbecue but it doesn’t really matter. I quite like heavy vertical summer rain.
We have a relaxed day in prospect. Lions game at eleven, plus the criquet plus tennis aaand we are off to the Lincoln Jazz Festival for the afternoon session. Lincoln Cathedral Chapter House 2pm til 5pm followed by more jazz in the cathedral caff with dinner. Shud b gud. Feels a bit odd holding a jazz festival in a cathedral. You associate jazz with boozy bars. I can’t see them letting you take beer into the Chapter House though they will be serving it in the caff apaz. See how it goze.
Then THG wants to watch the women’s Euro footie. The cricket will have finished for the day by then. I’m going to have cricket and rugby on two screens this morning so that I won’t miss a minute of the action. If anyone wants to join me just swing by the shed. Cricket on the big screen and rugby on one of my monitors.
Noticed yesterday btw there was a poppy growing in the middle of what would once have been termed the lawn. V pretty. Then this morning THG remarked that she’d seen other flowers a growing in a similar fashion. Must have seeded from the wild flower meadow. Unfortunately the meadow itself has very few blooms in evidence this year. I have been watering it. The suggestion was made that we dig up the ones growing in the lawn and move them to the meadow. Feels high risk but THG knows what she is doing.
