Clematis

I rebuilt this birdhouse about a year ago. Whilst I am pleased to say it has survived winter and the recent heatwave, I noticed it is now under attack from the Clematis at the bottom of our garden.
A surprisingly productive day today. Weather not as bad as forecast so we managed a bit of tidying in the garden this afternoon after a visit to the gym this morning.
And I actually got some sense out of TalkTalk in regard to a couple of queries I had regarding my account. I had to get past the annoying AI bot that was trying to help me (just keep typing in “other” rather than picking one of the choices the bot offers you) before I could communicate with a human being but, once I got through to him, he answered all queries, was very polite and even tried to do me a good renewal deal as I’m out of contract at the moment.
Having done a quick online search, I reckon the deal he offered is as good as I’ll get, so will probably sign up for it. Providing that the solutions he suggested actually work when I try and action them tomorrow…
