Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@outlander, it is, but is also rather neglected at the moment. Due to the dread carer-stress/depression thingy. I've deliberately planted a lot of low care things that will keep going without my help- and encouraging things to "replant" themselves is part of that. I've had a lot of nice things die too though, and I'm trying to get back to being more active out there. It does me good.

During that "wander out" I've put in some belated tomatoes (maybe too late but I'll try anyway), and a few sunflower plants. I've potted on some basil, tarragon, coreopsis and strawberry plants into bigger pots, and stuck in some cuttings of mint and basil. Growing stuff is a good reminder that life doesn't give up easily. 🙂

@Determined- did you get caught in any of the nasty weather that's been on the news?

@Smc if you ever feel the need to work in someone else garden you're welcome to come here!! When we bought our place I thought I'd be a good gardener... ummm the only thing that thrives are weeds eekk, and we have 3/4 acres of sectioned off gardens and lawns plus fruit trees. I'm too scared to admit how many fruit trees that have not survived.

Pitch Perfect was good, not as good as the first two but I enjoyed it. My daughter was great, got there two hours early to shop, even went to some shops after but a storm was brewing and I wanted to get home. As soon as we were out of the shopping centre the mood changed and she was on the attack, sigh. I ask why I spoil her sometimes 😞 mood changed again on the way home. I still can't get over how quick the mood changes are and I can't get over what she is like in the attack mood...

Two years ago life was pretty perfect.

@YTT, our daughter has a history of unpredictable moods too. She doesn't tend to attack, but the rapid swings from distressed to chirpy or vice versa can be really disconcerting. I guess hang on to the good part of the afternoon.

@Smc we are very fortunate to have missed the worst of it where we are. Plenty of destruction in the surrounding areas though. I have been sweating on having the car parked outside, need to get motivated and make room in our shed to put it away.

@YTT my darling is also like that with moods 😕 when all is well it can take the smallest thing to flip the switch.

Glad to hear your place is OK @Determined. Not boating weather, hey?
