Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty

We had hazy sunshine all day, but that didn't stop me getting out there to complete a few more tasks in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - more big salvias repotted into fresh compost, some primulas that have gone over tidied-up in preparation for their summer hiatus, and I split one of our indoor peace lilies that was looking very sorry for itself and needed a bit of TLC, among other pottering jobs...

Meanwhile... The bastard gnomes at Google/Blogger have been playing silly buggers again. I published a post at around 6 o'clock yesterday. It remained in Limbo, as far as the Blogger Reading List is concerned. Suddenly at 1 o'clock in the morning - boom! There it was...

WTF leads these creatures to think that a five-hour delay is acceptable is beyond me! Yet another blogging annoyance... Sigh.

Never mind, eh? Here's something soothing from our "house band" to ease our troubled souls...

Ah, that's better...

  1. The greedy beggars want me to pay for a free site at Wordpress. And this morning I was struggling with Instagram (and I only went there because Facebook shut me down!) But the sun is shining and I have lotsa bulbs to plant...

    1. Ah, yes, there are better things to do with our time - and I grasp those real-life tasks with both hands - but it would be good if the blogging that gives us an outlet we enjoy so much worked properly and consistently! Jx

  2. I am so envious of your gardening, I miss my yard so much.

    1. Even with all its faults - completely paved-over, overhung by bastard weed trees, demon spawn next door shattering our enjoyment of it - I genuinely couldn't live without a garden, no matter how compact and bijou. If push came to shove, even a balcony would do. Jx

  3. I have noticed lately that posts are not showing up in readers till hours later, which is making me almost miss many posts of my fellow friends blogs.

    1. It looks like it's fixed - for now - as this post arrived in the reader very quickly. It's annoying! Jx

      PS Glad it's not just me...
