Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning all.
Its been raining but the sky is looking good.
Every morning, the first thing** I do is take a dose of Esiac which is a natural herbal type anti-cancer 'stuff'. I then have to wait a short while before I eat/drink anything. I am now waiting to enjoy a nice coffee.
**2nd thing if you include having a pee ^_^.
Yesterday we met our grandson as arranged and went out for lunch. Bloody hell:eek:.....how come he invited us but it cost me £60!!!!
MrsD (without looking at the menu), said "shall we have a large glass of wine" so of course he said yes. SEVEN QUID A GLASS:eek:. I was driving so had half a beer and used it to catch my tears:sad:


Grumpy old git. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Blimey just watched the news. This northern Italy shutdown is huge. In people numbers that would be equivalent to Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Merseyside, Northumberland - basically everything from Manchester north to Scotland :eek:

My lad is best man at a July wedding in the heel of Italy. I know they were worried two weeks ago. Must be very, very concerned now.

Crikey after 44 years in horticulture I'd never heard of those. A quick Google and I know it but only ever by it's botanical name.

Learn something every day.

A few years ago we visited the Eden Project and brought the seeds from there, thats the only place I've ever seen them on sale, I think I've got a packet of perennial sweet peas around somewhere I brought at the same time but never got round to planting.

We have a perennial sweet pea. Some years it's great, others and I wonder why. Last summer it was gorgeous.
