Creeping thyme (Thymus serpyllum) 8s ideal for a herb bed, rockery or container. Dark green foliage and masses of pink flowers in summer, which are loved by bees and other pollinators.

Thyme has been a favourite herb for centuries, valued for its culinary merit and curative properties. It believed that fairies lived in banks of Thyme and sprigs were burnt as offerings to gods. Many of the Thymes come from the Mediterranean region, but all are hardy provided they have a well-drained soil (or container).

Thyme is very robust and is often planted between paving, in or over walls and in rock gardens.

Height and spread: 5cm x 30cm

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday!

Please excuse no personal replies today, but DH has had a sickness bug this week, and yesterday evening, despite him being quarantined in the spare room,.and me sanitising the bathroom, and everything else he was likely to touch, I went down with it yesterday evening, with a very unpleasant few hours.

This morning, everything is feeling more "settled", but I'm feeling completely wiped, and, more importantly, I'm probably still very infectious, so I've made several phone calls already, to effectively cancel today. I am so grateful to modern technology, which means I can safely contact people without having to leave my bed!

Now Ive got the "must does" done , I'm back to gently sipping water. I have a calibrated bottle, so I can keep track.

My main aims for today now are to shower and dress at some point, and keep drinking water. I'm aiming for a minimum of 2 litres today, in little sips. Hopefully more!

Good morning Kitty! It might actually still be morning where you are. --Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. Is Dh better?

I just happened to see tarragon in my spice cupboard yesterday while searching for spices for the kima. We definitely have thyme, though I didn't know that it had such pretty flowers!

I'm up early - for me - so I can go to the WW meeting across town at 8 a.m. I'm drinking coffee, so I'll weigh in with a cup of coffee in my stomach. That's kind of a necessity for me for an 8 a.m. meeting. The window is cracked open, and as the sun is starting to peek through the trees, I can hear turkey gobbles in the distance, a titmouse calling, finches at the feeder chatting with each other, and a woodpecker going to town on a nearby tree. Birds sure are noisy! But I love their noise!

Yesterday: I made progress in several different areas, which felt good, including: payroll, laundry, exercise - jogged the hill, grocery shopping, and improving the MBR cedar chest. I got a nice meal of ground beef kima (like a curry), rice, and roasted broccoli on the table.

Today: I have 4 meetings/ appointments on the calendar:
8-8:30 a.m. - WW. This is a new meeting that just started in town. I'm so happy they decided to come back here.
11-12 CA ci meeting with AC - on zoom.
4-5 work out with my personal trainer.
6-7:30 Vol. ESL class.

In between these meetings, I'd like to get in some walking, finish laundry, including towel laundry, finish tidying the MBR cedar chest, start on exam prep for payroll, perhaps start on class prep for tomorrow. If dd27 goes to the dog park with Fable this morning, I'll try to join her.

Looking ahead, I think I have no evening events next week until the weekend. Then, I do have events Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening. Saturday is regularly scheduled CG1, every 2 weeks, and Sunday evening is a standing dinner party.
