Yes, I have done so in the past.
Can they sprout??

Yes but unlikely to be many, if any, if the winter is cold.

Yes, I have done so in the past.Not the hearts
Can they sprout??

Probably not the hearts, only the ones with the shells still on. They get eaten quite quickly.

I took Molly to the vet this morning as she has a wart on the side of her mouth. The vet booked her for Wednesday to have it removed but nothing to worry about. Apart from that, nothing else planned for today except for the quiz tonight.

Got back about half one having ridden 45 miles in bright, cold and blustery conditions this morning.

Had to be weighed?? What on earth have you sent me?
My pressie to you cost twelve quid to post. Those XXL bloomers weigh sooo much.
At least they will arrive on time.

Back home now.
Straight through run - no hold ups or road works on the M5. It was the same on the way up - must be a record!
Mighty chuffed with the old Honda CRV; it did an average of 55.4 mpg on the way back. Not bad for a 2.2 ltr 4x4.

Wasn't sure what @Drago was referring to regarding Guy Martin, but a quick search revealed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-46590751
Oh dear; doesn't sound good.

Amazing. If it is true, why did he not simply take a test and get a licence legitimately?

Oh the Joy's of flatpack furniture. MrsP bought a shoe rack sort of thing with opening doors. After reading the diagram sheet it said 20 minutes to construct. 2 hours it took Only a crosshead screwdriver needed it said, plus a bradal and a rubber mallet to knock some plastic thingys into some ready made holes. Gr.

A bit OTT imo. Mrs P makes a suggestion and you resort to a rubber mallet.
I hope she is better soon.
