You need a water pistol, not for the cat, for the sentry bird, lol!
Hose fittings are annoying things. No matter how carefully I connect everything it is only a matter of time till one or other pops and it is always when I am miles away and have to return to stop the cataract and redo the blasted things. What is worse though, is I went to great lengths to sort out a movable wind up cart based watering system that works for me, but doesn't limit the tap use for any other resident - we had hose wars for months - and now the sneaky toads use my set up without returning the settings or unscrewing the hose connector off the taps. And whoever is doing it has much better grip strength than I have! Grrrrrr...
Oh the tiny domestic dramas that make living in a pensioner village so interesting!

You'll get used to the new setup, OHH
Not a lot happening here today, housework needs doing and I need to start weeding out along the roadside so will add that to the week's to-do list. Some ideas for that garden are being mulled over. MrK has asked me to plant some salvias near the beans to help with pollination. There are so many bees, and they just love the blue salvias.
I have a little bit of unpicking to do with my embroidery, not happy with the bird's eye. You would think a circle would be simple enough to stitch.
Happy crafting
Oh Please can we have some rain. Last night was our designated sprinkler day, I hooked up the rose bed sprinkler and turned it on, checked that all the nozzles were working and went away for 45 minutes. When I went back to turn it off I found that the connector had come apart and water had been pouring out of the tap into the end of the bed. So I have unwatered roses and a sodden viburnum and will need to do some hand-watering today, which will take hours.
