That's all he wants for his supper tonight, on account of coming home from the dentist minus a tooth. This wasn't a surprise; it's another step along his dental journey towards having tooth implants. All has gone smoothly so far.
Meanwhile he's taking it easy for a couple of days.
It's just as well we got a lot of heavy work done in the garden yesterday. Our neighbours are having their garage taken down in the next couple of months. As our two sentry box tool sheds were leaning against their garage wall for support we knew we would have to relocate them, at which point it all became a bit of a sliding block puzzle.
We've solved the puzzle and are pleased with the results. I've more room in my veg patch, and the blue shed, used for storing oxygen cylinders, is in a better situation regarding sunlight and also for deliveries.
While BB was at the dentist I did a little more tidying outside, and looked at how the garden is getting on.
The first 'hot lips' salvia flowers are out! Surely mid - May is a bit early?
The flowers are very small; one could easily miss them among the leaves.
Music
How do they do it? Murray Perahia playing Chopin Etude op 10 no 4 'The torrent'.
I've just watched it without the sound (Paul Murton is extolling the beauties of the River Esk on television) and you would think the film had been speeded up.
Our hot lips has been flowering profusely since the first week of April which is really, really early. Hope we don't get a cold snap. Regards Sue H

DeleteThere's been a HUGE removal lorry outside all day. They have been clearing my late neighbour's bungalow and much of the furniture is going to auction. The end of an era , the family had been in that house over 50 years.
ReplyDeleteHalf a century. They will have seen some changes
DeleteHot lips flowers for months and is a great attractant for bees.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves smell lovely too
DeleteI have found out by mistake Hot lips salvias are not winter hardy! Lost them and wondering shall I buy more, the big decision made. I have too many plants to plant so more salvias!
ReplyDeleteI take cuttings in the Summer and overwinter them indoors (I don't have a greenhouse or conservatory) just in case I lose them in avhard winter. They root pretty easily.
