    Hi all.

    Can I borrow your hubby please Hosta?

    Seeing all those goodies, makes me want to go shopping.

    Today I shall be attempting some more horizontal weeding, hopeless for the middle / back of borders, but at least the front should look good. I may climb into a sleeping bag, placed on a picnic blanket and move along like a caterpillar. Thank goodness we are not overlooked.

    Punkdoc. Have you thought about getting a camping mat to lie on. I use one all the time,  it saves you from laying on the damp ground.

    NannyB ... we sent virtual pizzas to Nora and the team last night in case they were working late on the glitch image

    A gentle game of tennis is planned for later this morning, but first you'd better take a look at Wonky's husband cardi 

    Oh!  It won't appear ... perhaps it'll post from my phone ... hold on a min

  • Yes, that worked ... not a great photo ... too much sofa and not enough cardi .... but definitely a cardi with attitude as befits Wonky image

    Like that cardi, I could see me in that, although red buttons are a problem [ football related ]

    Thanks Pauline. I asked OH. if I could borrow her yoga mat, but she wasn't happy, so that might be the solution.

  • Just caught up. My experience of NHS & private from working in both is NHS is best overall but they won't leave it alone. They keep re-organising & paying management consultants a fortune for "us workers" to make savings & cuts. Contrary to popular belief its often under managed not over managed but  the focus is wrong.  Too much left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. Sweeping change then it all has to be re-done again when they realise too late that the old system actually worked better. All the experience is being bled out no wonder morale is on the floor. Glad I am out of it.

    Sorry rant over!

    Have a good rest of day everyone- I have men here finally fixing guttering & pipes damaged in the gales in January.
