Who knew that orchids go on holiday to "Bath" LOL! something has bitten my stomach, no idea what. My Grandson was also covered in bites a few days ago my daughter was worried it was chicken pox, and her needing to go to work, but they werent itchy and disappeared the following day weird! I am impressed BL that you counted all 336 plugs well done! My cold frame is on slabs, so not many weeds sneaking thru.
NB - they get a trim and a new feed stick and then a good rinse and a bit of soak an then drained. They then get a shower every couple of days to rinse off any remaining dust and make sure their roots are hydrated but not soggy. I do this a couple of times a year and it seems to work a they then produce new flower stems. I don't like orchids much but people will insist on giving them so I try to look after them.
Feeling weary here too now. Went to La Roche-sur-Yon this pm to buy wading and lining fabric for the new chair seats and a Karcher window cleaner thingy and some wood filler stuff and a few groceries. Managed to hit the school run and the TGIF run and all the people doing weekend shops.
DL - I've been wearing a bracelet thingy you put a drop of anti-bite stuff one each day and it isn't working against these beasties.

Good morning all. Late afternoon Saturday now, and Hubby just advised out clocks are going forward 1 hour tonight.
Now I’ll have. 10hour gap.
Sorry Lilyp, I didn’t see you there. How are your eyes now?
evening Pat, definite improvement thanks. Just a very slow thing and sadly I am not the most patient
of folks! So if I remember correctly there is a month when its 10 hours difference and when we change at the end of the month it goes to 12?
hope your oh has had a good rest

he’s Been playing most of the day with his new toy - the mini helicopter thing - what are they called again? Can’t pul the name out of the brain.
His other one flew into a tree and got a bit smashed. It’s being considered for repair, but he was too impatient so bought himself amother one.
Afternoon Pat.
Morning LP...a bit chilly but the sun is out for now.....
