Tonight's entertainment was a rewatch of The Accountant (2016), which remains an excellent combination of brutal violence and effective tax planning for small businesses

Goodnight all

Bored

Supposed to be taking daughter camping in wales tomorrow but it looks like it is going to piss down all weekend.

:sigh:

onwards and upwards I s'pose.

Morning all

Had a lovely sunny dog walk earlier, and now the cloud has come in, looks like it's going to rain. Hope it's not too hard as the white peony has opened 4 flowers, the orange poppy has about 10 open and the irises, geraniums and a few others are in full bloom.

You're thinking of the Klingons.

UMIST was named after Diego Forlan.

Mild grey start here; there's still a chance of rain and thunderstorms this afternoon

The peonies are in full bloom, the accursed arum lillies are doing their thing, the rose that's decided it's standard is covered in buds & opened roses, the self planted rose* in the front garden is about to burst into bloom, while the bluebells & whitebells have set seed & are looking pretty much past it.

The iris is a bit overwhelmed by the self planted rose, but is struggling on.

The spiky evergreen thing is covered in white blossom, apart from the branches that are dead.

And I'm waiting for the honeysuckle to blossom before I agent orange it again.

Plus the grapefruit bush in the parents' garden is covered in blooms, and on Saturday I rediscovered the single remaining yellow rose (one of half a dozen, the rest having departed this mortal coil many years ago) I purchased from Woolies to celebrate their golden wedding some 16 years ago.

Gosh. 2002 seems a looooong time ago now.

I was still a contractor back then before it gave me up.

*being self planted it is covered in blossom for a week and that's it.
