How I love you Obelixx, and the blood tests yes, I was black and blue for nearly 3 weeks, after 3 goes one day, they asked me to return the following.Have always wondered why gay blokes have to do this "coming out" thing, your sexual orientation/preference is immaterial and no-one elses business: (unless like me you marry a closet, who only marries you as a respctable front for his middle class family!)
Not a walk-in closet then! Sorry. Must have been a difficult thing to deal with when your found out.
I too don't see what business of anyone else it is or why homosexuality should be seen as shameful or subversive.
Courgette fritters have now been consumed for lunch. More courgette than fritter as I only had one egg left after all the baking. Tasty tho. I don't think Possum has twigged that there will be courgette in her chocolate cake treat tomorrow.
I'm off to beat about the bushes in the new shade bed.

Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
Obelixx, I was bloody furious, without going into too much detail, I always thought "somethinge" wasnt quite right, he was in a great hurry to get married, I was flattered,he was a footballer (played for Brighton/Hove Albion,) not when I met him, he had this very macho imagine, wasnt so much "real men dont cry" as, "real men dont use deoderant etc.) A friends friend who was living with a much older bloke, asked me if he had ever b="been" with a man, (maybe he could see something I couldnt) and my current Hubbies best mate asked me. He didnt drink, got very drunk one night and told me I was the only female ------ so to speak, he was violent and a phsycopath (sorry cant spell it) I divorced him, HIV tests ensued, all fine thanksfully) he had some rather unuseual "reading" material, and it wasnt the sort of stuff you see on the top shelf of your family newsaganet! I can laugh about it now.After he gave up football and all the other sport (well, as far as I know!!!!!!) he got fat, so yes would have had to have been a walk in wardrobe!
So glad to be back in the countryside ...... the wood is drying out ....thank god for the help of a local lad who now has some decent pocket money for stacking it for us
These lilies are unbelievable .....I actually measured one tip to tip at ~28cms about 11 inches
Yes Joyce .....and the whole area around them is just bursting with natural fragrance .....we're in heaven ....as old Frankie said ....well he said I'm....but he was always a bit selfish
Nanny - That's a lot to deal with. Thank goodness you've come out the other side with a sense of humour intact.
DL - gorgeous lilies. Used to have some Regal lilies a lot like that but they got the dreaded lurgy and died off on me after a few years. These days I grow Firebolt and another whose label I have lost and they have a great perfume too. Supposed to flower together but Firebolt did it earlier this year. This is the other one in June.
Just how do you get these things the right way round?!
Have been and beaten bushes and pruned a lot of overhanging ones and tried to weed the shade bed but the soil is bone dry and really hard work for my hands, even with a very pointy stainless steel hand fork so I've done what I can and then given it a good drink. Further weeding will have to wait of OH to go out to golf so I can give it a good soaking before hand without him muttering about water butts and cans. He's lovely but he does get the wrong bees in his bonnet sometimes.

I could give many reasons why " coming out" is important.
Maybe another time .
Hosta ((hugs))
Everyone should watch 'The Man in the Orange Shirt' ............ it'll be on iPlayer for a while yet I'd have thought.
Right ... half a freezer drawer is full of bagged up runner beans
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Yes Hosta - but nobody should have to!

Superb Dacha. Don't think I have seen so many flowers on one stem and more buds to open!
