Lyn - my mother was a great fan of Syrup of Figs too
I wonder if that's why the very thought of figs turns my stomach! Agree about the fish oil capsules too
Glad you had a lovely break LP, and some plants to go with it . Perthshire is very bonny at almost any time of year. So different from the west side of the country, but I won't hold that against them....
I'd agree about the Vit D thing - I suppose I was meaning those vitamin pills etc, rather than 'useful' stuff. I met a couple on a hill in Glen Fyne a couple of years back, and he swore by Glucosamine, and said much the same as Ppauper. I even tried it for a while but I don't think it was ever going to be much use to me for my knee issues.
Think you're right Hosta - first reasonably warm day in Scotland, and men are stripping off. Sadly - it's usually the desperately unattractive ones with large guts, gold chains and tattoos. - or should that be another
Obs - I struggle to do much reading nowadays. I always used to read in bed, but since wearing glasses, it's become impossible. I should make more of an effort though. I spend a lot of time reading fro my hill outings, so it doesn't leave a lot of time for book reading.
Pauline - sorry to hear you're going through that. Is the 'pudding diet' purely for physical needs, or is it psychological as well?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
OMG......I'm just here with a very big on my face because my BH is home but bad news about MIL's eyesight ......and BH's worsening hypothyroidism ......
Re the SOFs......my dear old gran in Dublin always said "eat fig rolls and you will shi%e alright" .....
Isn't life always like that ......I swear by prunes

Lyn, I remember all these 'potions' plus the nit comb through the hair on a Friday night. I had waist length hair and hated having it done.
Same here Joyce, I can’t ever remember having nits though, perhaps the comb did work. ?
my daughter did when she was little, we were all horrified.

I love prunes soaked in Armangac
Dacha, sorry about your BH and MIL.
Hubby does a FAB beef and prune tajine. Doesn't he Dove?
Been moving woodchip, bagging up grass / leaves. Took down 5 stumps so I can sit another dumpy sack on each of them to stop them re-shooting.
Another BIG load of chippings delivered today .
Best of all. Worzle's home from the garage.
Evening all.
Just had another 3 hours sleep, I don't know where it is all coming from.
Have noticed one advantage of being so breathless, is that I have to slow down when doing any job, so I am actually tending to do jobs properly.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
Hosta whatever are you going to do with all that wood chipping,s are you building a highway to the moon??
Nothing wrong with sleeping lots Punkdoc, gives your body lots of time to rest.
Hope it does the trick Pauline, and you get a good result. You can eat our share too
I like chicken or rabbit with prunes. I remember a recipe vaguely which had it in a mustard sauce and it was beautiful.
