Hi to everybody...had one of those weird nights again last night...tried to go to sleep at 1 but realized I wasn't going to so got up, made a cup of tea with a couple of bics as I'd had a very small dinner, and came back to bed and read until 2.15 then tried again...successfully this time...woke again at 7 turned over and went back to sleep until 9.30 or so then got up at 10 so did have a good night in the end...
It's cloudy and very muggy today...sun is trying to break through but I'm out of energy at the moment...not lack of sleep, just the humidity I think...After breakfast, I went out into the garden to check my clematis to see whether it's still growing - usually flowers then wilts - only to discover the ants have set up an aphid farm on it...LOL...I'm afraid I cleared them all off the plant...wish the ants would find somewhere other than my lovely flowering climbers to have their farms...
Nothing exciting happening today...just hubby sleeping this afternoon from 2 to 3.45 then up and off to work at 4.30...at least it's Friday...
Meant to be a lot cooler this weekend...don't mind that as long as it doesn't rain...
So that's it for now...Hope you are all having a good day, are seeing some sunshine and send great big hugs to one and all...

The muggy bit is nasty. I don't like it at all and feel wilted when it is muggy out. Damn aphids! I wish they would bugger off onto someone else's plants!
Have a great day Jen.

I've given up on honeysuckle...the aphids invade it almost as soon as it has got its first leaves...my neighbour's comes through my trellis and they've got the same prob...so not just my garden...
no rain here, and difficult at night to know what to put on the bed...I had a sheet and thin blanket last night but felt a bit chilly so added one...I don't use duvets anymore but three microfibre blankets...very light weight and very warm in the winter...I add one in the very cold weather and still feels very lightweight...I shed them as the temp increases...LOL...GBHs...XXX

They usually do that to my roses! It was a little cooler here today, and for some of the time it looked as though it might rain, but in the end it didn't. Hope you and Ray have a nice weekend
