Good day everyone. Grey, wet and breezy - not dissimilar to Dragon's underwear, we don't seem to hear much of this recently? 🤫
Dentist this morning to have the impression done for a crown. Then meeting two cycling friends for coffee - they plan to leave the club and I want to understand why. This evening I'm going to "Grow to Show' a council event for people interested in entering the competitions at the local flower this summer. Entrants get free tickets and having seen the standard of entries I reckon I've a decent chance of a medal or two!!! 😄
We have Coronavirus in Chorley. I'm concerned about Mrs P. She has had a bad cough since before New Year and has only been to the GP once. Not enough in my view. She is asthmatic though not severely. She is a retired medical professional.
I've suggested we discuss whether or not she should visit supermarkets etc. This was dismissed when I made the suggestion with "how would I catch it in a supermarket?" I explained how I thought handling things others had handled might be a problem. This was dismissed with "and do we clean the shopping when we get home?"
I know my suggestion is probably medically unsound and I'm not one for panic reactions - I've got a solution to the loo roll crisis!!! I do though feel Mrs P should be more cautious.
I never win these discussions!
I wiped down table surface etc. in the cafe yesterday. I've got disposable gloves in the car for the supermarket. Not a panic from me but a question of trying to protect myself and do my bit. Or so I think.

My dad was a great gardener in his younger days. He won the local village flower show for several years in a row. He actually got a bit embarrassed and sometimes didn't enter to give others a chance. Sadly his garden is now a bit of a wilderness. Hopefully my brother will eventually get it back into shape now that he's taken the place on.

Apologies if I got this wrong. I was trying to be half serious, half jokey and probably got it wrong.
I do understand your aunt's view. It took Mrs P and I years to find a solicitor we felt comfortable with. The advice we got on PoA was "we can do it for you at £485. In your case it's very simple and I have to tell you it can be done online for £85. Just be careful who you name!" There was almost a wink with this advice.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

No problem......I understood exactly what you were saying, and you are correct.
I dare not disclose how much they have

I'm not so much a good gardener but do a decent allotment job by applying my commercial knowledge. I suspect my knowledge wouldn't hold up against a real allotment grower's experience. I just fancy having a go for a year or two to see how I get on.
Mrs P is the gardener. Decades ago she said "We don't have a garden just a collection of plants you like." She was right, I see plants for themselves and not as part of a garden. Since then I've been allowed to cut the grass and barrow a lot of stone and gravel!! 😂😂

I think I have been banned from mentioning them......until welshie gives express permission.
It doesn't stop me thinking about them though
