175E - From mwah to yay!

 On Tuesday I trimmed my grass, just before the rain pelted down. Fair is fair, those black clouds in the background do create  dramatic photos.šŸ˜€

Judge for yourself: nicely trimmed grass, eh?
I was the only one there, but I was there at 09.00, because of the yet again dramatic weather prediction. Heavy showers, heavy gusts and thunderstorms. The first two I can handle, but I'm a little afraid of lightning. Once upon a time I was on holiday in Looe, when a sudden thunderstorm raced in from the sea, and a fisherman was struck by lightning on the banjo pier. I've had a healthy respect for lightning ever since. Puck is terrified of it, she must have good reason.

But, anyway, my garden: all is well, except one teasel, which is leaning against its neighbour like a groom on his stag night. I had to prop it up, but forgot.
My Desdemona is blooming again

What I did do, was prune the top of my small horse chestnut. To be honest it isn't a happy tree, so I thought right, off with its head, perhaps it will work. If it dies, I have tried.
A plant that does shine, is my lily. A few years ago I planted three (expensive) bulbs, and only one has come up, but it is a beauty.
Sweet!









   Who are doing very well also, are the summer bulbs in my greenhouse border. I first had two, but by now they have spread. Very pleased with them, although even my trusted plant determination app Plantnet says 'name unknown'. So if you happen to know what bulb this is, please tell me in the comments? Thanks! They only bloom one day, like daylilies. Here they are:

Very unusual pretty flowers.
By the end of this week, it got warm, warmer and hot. Now that I am writing this it is Friday afternoon, and my thermometer says 31°.
The internet has overheated as well - apparently something has gone awry with a software-update, and now 'the Blue Screen of Death' has taken entire computer systems hostage. It sounds like the plot of a techno thriller. I immediately admit I come from the Stone Age, and this is far too technical for me. But it sucks when you were planning to fly, or waiting for an operation. Hopefully they'll solve it soon!
My cool frog pond

   Should you be utterly overheated by now, either from the heat or my words/the realisation that we are subjected to the fickle whims of the computer gods, I have put my stone age take on a hot tub on the left here. Enjoy!
   Have a great weekend!
