I was resigned to a no-SoS week. It was my first week back to work after the Dreaded and a rest was in order, the car was having some work done in the garage and the rain was falling. A day of Murder She Wrote, catching up with friends and reading last weekend’s papers wasContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Disintegrating”

Six on Saturday – Peace
The inevitable happened and I have succumbed to the evil Covid. A day or two of feeling rotten and now just boredom and positive tests. In the scheme of things, in the scheme of this misguided world, it is inconsequential. Pop over to Himself to find out what the other SoSers are up to. Let’sContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Peace”
Six on Saturday – Keep it in the Family
We have been away on a little jaunt. We caught the Eurostar to Rotterdam and onwards to visit my Cloggie brother and his family. It was wonderful. There were castles and forts, frantic bars and peaceful patios, culture and indulgence. One of the many things that gave me joy during our visit was exploring theirContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Keep it in the Family”
Six on Saturday – Underestimation
I wasn’t going to do a six this week, it has been so miserable lately I was sure there would be only misery to share. Then a diamond title popped into my head and I changed my mind. After the persistent gales and torrential rain of the last week I thought The Mighty Fallen wouldContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Underestimation”
Six on Saturday – New Phone
I’ve got a new phone. Nothing special, just end of an end of contract, new version of the same. Which in theory is a good thing, but in reality has been a bother. Especially when EE’s little helper turned out to be a belligerent barely post-teenage humourless inept loser. Have I make myself clear? InContinue reading “Six on Saturday – New Phone”
Six on Saturday – Guest Cloggie
There has been much excitement on Planet Heavens. The Cloggies have been in town. I am privileged to have a family that forego soap opera dramas and instead tend to embrace love and laughter. We genuinely enjoy each others’ company. Strange but true. All of this is unfortunate as some of us live in TheContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Guest Cloggie”
Six on Saturday – Community
My garden is sighing with relief. Although the rain has often been relentless, the intermittent spells of sun have been enough for steady growth and blossom. The persistent wind has caused only minor damage, although this might be tempting fate bearing in mind Storm Anthony’s arrival today. Perhaps the harsh spring ensured that any earlyContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Community”
Six on Saturday – Uncertainties
It is proper summer now. We have had some rain and we have had some sun and we have had some wind. Proper summer. And I have also started thinking about what is working in the garden and what is not. How I can improve things next year. I suppose that is how we roll,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Uncertainties”
Six on Saturday – Can I See Your Invite, Please?
The weather has eventually broken. Thank goodness. Although I must warn you that the ETA for moaning about the rain and gloom is approximately one week. I am sure there will be many UK gardeners celebrating at the moment, none more so than Our Jim, guardian and holder of the sacred SoS baton. Over theContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Can I See Your Invite, Please?”
Six on Saturday – Shirley Temple and Friends
How did that happen? One day I’m griping about the incessant rain and wind, the next I’m moaning about the persistent dry windy days and bitingly cold windy mornings. I don’t care so much about the night, although I suppose I should. My poor little ones are having to hunker down as the temperatures drop,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Shirley Temple and Friends”
