A-mate of mine used to live very close to the airport and moved soon after night flights started..
It was very windy last night this may have increased the noise level

@Dirk I think you grow Elephant garlic? I'm growing for the first time and I'm wondering about harvest. I have two plants which are putting up flowers and if this was true garlic I'd see it as an indication it would soon be time to harvest. At this stage true garlic also starts to yellow, another sure sign of being ready to pick.
My Elephant garlic is still growing strongly, no leaf yellowing but flower stems are appearing. It seems very early to harvest. Any thoughts?
My inclination is to cut the scapes and eat them leaving the plant to grow.

I went to bed a bit earlier than usual which was a total waste of time because my one iffy leg has now become two VERY iffy legs!
I have just been reading about the symptoms and I think that this might be my first ever bout of Restless Legs Syndrome. Bloody hell!
When people told me they suffered from RLS I just imagined that their legs twitched a bit while they were trying to sleep. This feels like I have tried to run a fast marathon without training...
Not (yet!) as bad as full-blown cramps but about one third of the way there. I can see that sleeping is going to be even harder than usual. Damn!

I can sympathise as I get bad leg cramps and weird muscle twitching that seemed to start after my bouts of disc herniation/sciatica.
I wasn’t sleeping well so have just got up.

Good morning folks ,
Massive thunderstorms last night. Never experienced such an intense and persistent period of lightning and we could feel a pressure wave on a couple of occasions. Heard a noise from inside the house and investigated, couldn’t find anything but this morning I saw one of the glass panels from the light shade on the landing has fallen out. Coffee first, then a visual roof inspection. I feel sorry for any one camping locally.
Have a peaceful day folks

Good morning.
Lots of rain overnight, like a lot of places.
Next doors cherry tree is a hive of activity. Every year, on the day the cherries are ripe birds of all kinds descend upon it and clear all the cherries. Today is that day.
Today will be a domestics type of day as the rain is set to continue all day.
Still got to take muttley out across the fields though.
Have fun everyone

Morning for the second time. The bath is running and I am off for a steep having just got back from a 35 mile spin. Longest and fastest for ages. Lord knows how as I barely got 3 hours sleep.
Morning all.
I was really tired last night but MrsD wanted to stay up and watch the Buck House concert.
I then totally crashed but at, maybe 0400 I had a vivid dream and shot up awake. After that it was fitful so at 0630 I got up.
No rain here yet but plenty forecast.

Morning all 
Not a good day at the TT. Big crash just after the start and the sidecar race was red flagged. No information was available for several hours and I was getting worried that one of my old buddies had been involved. Finally got info around 10pm. I've never known such a blanket news clampdown before. A newcomer French crew were involved and sadly the passenger was killed. They had started immediately in front of one of my old mates who, fortunately, narrowly missed the carnage and pulled in at Quarterbridge.
I've been in a very similar position myself, at the 1995 TT. It has a profound effect on you, that you never get over.
On a more cheerful note:
They used to do live commentary of the races, on the radio, in the 1950s,

I don't think that the TT was ever shown by the BBC on TV.

I harvest mine when the leaves turn yellow and sag.
