Just consuming a packet of Cheese and Onion Crisps in the vain hope the crunching drowns out the sound of Coronation Street.If that doesn’t work a I’ll try Cream Crackers if that fails Ginger Biscuit are the next option.After that the only option will be divorce

Should have had a pre nuptial banning the watching of Emmerdale and Coronation Street

I wasn't that well prepared, I use a set of Soundcore Earbuds

I do it the other way round when my pal is here and wants to watch something that I am not interested in. I have a decent pair of headphones permanently attached to the TV, so I turn the soundbar off and hand her the 'phones!

Wouldn't work with Mrs @BoldonLad, headphones would ruffle her hair

MrsP insists on watching Coro.
I have some Samsung ear buds which I wear and listen to the radio whilst the dross is on.

Runners beans.I always plant a few i pots in the cold frame as insurance against those planted straight in to the ground

I've had my Runners and French beans in deep seed trays for over a week, but as yet no showings.

Your runner beans have done a runner, your French beans are on strike for better conditions (warmer weather).

Mine appeared after aprox two weeks in seed trays ,those in the ground a little over three weeks I don’t have a greenhouse The frame affords some protection but even so temperatures have been low so germination has been slower.


Some years ago my runner beans were caught by a late frost No runner bean plants at the garden centre’s.I had some seeds left over Potted them up .Put them in the airing cupboard Germinate within a week.

Not at all weird The level of care you give your good lady with the best will in the world must tell on you Having worked in elderly care for thirty five years i know the strain it can put on carers Not only physical stress but mentally. I hope that who ever did the assessment included you I worked for social services and the main carer was always included on the assessment of need ,quite often backed up by a home visit when considered necessary


Good to hear your good lady is fit for discharge.Hope things go well for you and good lady .

Best wishes to you both.🥰🥰😍

Thank you.

Dave r...I get it, brother. No matter how much you love your wife its hard work taking care of someone. Remember.... you can't take care of someone else unless you take care of yourself.

Good news this afternoon, my Good Lady has been declared medically fit and is due to be discharged Monday, they're waiting for the care package to be put in place. Now the question is, why do I feel like I do when a holiday is coming to an end, weird.

Excellent news Dave. Good to read you should be getting additional support which it seems you thoroughly deserve for all your great efforts. 👏

As has been said don't forget to take care of the carer.

Morning all

Dog got me up early.
Off to Minehead this morning so MrsD can see her optician, who moved from Barnstaple to Minehead last year.
Whilst there, we shall meet up with our best mates for lunch.
