    Hello all. Busy harvesting Lavended today. It takes many days, so I’ll spread it out as much as I can.

    I am really getting irritated with the darn spell checker. Lavender. How on earth could it be changed to lavended?   It’s beyond me. I think it’s time I went to bed.

    night All.

    Hi all.

    Hoping I have been un - banned from posting and that you can read this.

    Lovely sunny day, but bitterly cold and quite a lot of snow from yesterday.

    Wonky enjot your weekend. Hope you rest these wrists, have you heard Joyces recommendation for turmeric?

    yup I was thrown on the Friday word, we have visitors Friday!  Worrying if they came today

    Busy I agree with you about the friends going onto the other thread. I don’t have energy to do more than one  chatty thread.  I always look at the other topics tho

    Pat lavender is meant to calm..........

     Our holiday is for rest and recuperation post Christmas, post flu and before the chaos if the garden begins  we are really hoping for sun but just a change will be nice. We have  never been to Feurtoventura 

    It’s so cold here again today really looking forward to it.

    Hello again.  Lazy morning today and then a raid on the SM.  Just had a late lunch and am planning a lazy afternoon apart from making some blood orange and chili marmalade and dance class later on.   Feet are fine but back still twingy after heaving a suitcase up and down Metro stairs yesterday - no escalators - and a long hike thru Montparnasse station which goes on forever before you get to the bit for trains to the west.

    Started bright and sunny here today and we had a short clear spell at bedtime so saw the moon which was definitely bright white.    Clouding over now and we've had showers that feel more like April than January.   Very pleased to find my snowdrops have survived the drought and are about to open their flowers.

    Turmeric/curcuma supplements are great and work on arthritic bits and also help with cancer so what's not to like?   My feet started complaining in this last year but all that pain has gone thanks to the supplements and I can stand on tippy toes now but not wear heels over 1".   The "too much walking" pain has also gone but has more to do with genetic mechanical problems and having 4 screws in each foot to hold the "new" toes in place whilst healing after the ops.

    LG, Wonky, Busy and anyone else coping with lurgies, I hope they clear up quickly but have to say better now than in a couple of week's or months time when you want to be outside.   Pdoc - banned?  I hope you're improving too.

    Lily - good idea to escape somewhere warm.   

    I hope nobody is freezing today or flooded or being blown to bits.
