The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

A Call for advice from our resident horticultural experts. We were given a houseplant several months ago and at first it thrived. It’s in a shady part of the room. Recently it’s started to look sorry for itself. I spray it with a water mister a couple of times a week and water it every month or so. Water is from garden water butt. Any idea on how to rescue it?

Can we have a name or photograph? The reasons are numerous but often overwatering is the main issue.

Right now I would kill for a bar of Aldi Wholenut!!

I have Cadburys Whole Nut, Fruit & Nut, and Dairy Milk, but no Aldi equivalent.

I don't buy sweets for myself, but am always prepared to pinch other people's!

Tonight, I had 2 Titan bars (Mars Bar rip-off), an ice lolly, and 1/4 bag of salted peanuts.

I am going to watch today's Giro stage on catch-up now, then try to get 7+ hours sleep again. If I feel good in the morning I will set off to ride 100 km. Not so good, maybe just 50?

Good morning all, carer was early this morning , twenty past six, its bright but cool this morning, my bimble has been called off, my Good Lady asked me to stay in, so it looks like I'll be looking for the bottom of the ironing basket this morning instead, I've got a three foot high pile to work through.

Good morning all.
A bit cloudy outside at the moment.
I'm listening to Tony Blackburn on the radio box.
Sainsburys are due to deliver between 8 and 9am, oh what excitement. What will not be available and substituted with what 😡
The green garden bin lorry has just been down our road waking everyone up.
And so the day begins. I should be able to get out on the bike later for a while, then watch the Giro on the television.
Wordle done in 4 and wordhurdle in 2
Enjoy your day everyone

The plant was given to us by a friend so I’m not sure of the species. I could repot it with fresh compost and see how it fares, it’s kept indoors in shade, it thrived for several months but is looking a bit sorry at the moment.

Morning. Up at silly o'clock, quick cuppa then just headed out for a long walk. I always sleep badly after gorging on junk food. Don't know why I keep doing it every so often Doubt my 8 miles will have put a dent in it.



Couple of pics. 3 different colours of bluebells in one clump.

Get that ironing board lowered right down and she can sit in a chair and do some herself while you grab even a short bimble.

Morning all

Off to Barnstaple this morning to pick up supplies for next week and to fill the car up. Dropping in to the caravan on the way back to do tyre pressures and wheel nut torques. Then all good to go on Monday morning.

Google maps doesn't give advance notice of planned work though.

Life's too short......

Can’t stand milk chocolate Dark chocolate every time. You shouldn’t be surprised as I love Marmite.

If Mrs p gets a box of chocolates she always gives me the dark chocolate.
