    Wet, wet , wet.

    Good on you, Chicky, I would need a week off after that flight.
    I gree Sue Biggs is a very impressive speaker, you can see why she has got to where she is.

    Very sorry to hear about your gd. LP, and glad you found your dog.

    I think I shall be sowing more seeds and transplanting some that have grown.

    Morning all, nearly posted on the wrong page again.  Hope everyone is OK.  Don't know how you are managing to stay awake Chicky.  Sorry to hear you had a bad night again Hosta.  I'm off for a gossip and cuppa with my friend courtesy of the free hot drinks I get as part of the Webbs loyalty card scheme. Worth every penny, around £7 for the year and 12 free hot drinks what's not to like.
    Lost some of my seedlings, lack of water, not like me don't know how I missed them.
    Have potted up some pelargoniums this morning and feeling a bit frustrated as 40 plants have been delivered next door (yesterday) and so far I've not been able to get my hands on them.  Have a good day everyone.

    Morning all.

    Best wishes to your granddaughter, LilyP.  It must be a worry for you!

    I was wondering where Dacha was, too.  Maybe he's soaking up a bit of sun...

    Good news!!  (though maybe not for the neighbours...)  The local brass band has got funding from the "Staying Well" project, to hold weekly sessions for adults only - beginners welcome.  They have a free taster session so I'm going to try it out.  I've always fancied learning a brass instrument... trombone?  tenor horn?  tuba, even???   :D

    Good news no.2 is that our favourite electrician (tidy, honest, experienced and not too expensive) has given us a starting date less than a fortnight away, to do the list of half a dozen annoying little jobs which have built up.  He did the first job in October, then tore his cruciate ligament...

    Getting frustrated with the weather changing every one or two days. No doubt most others are too.
    Pleased that the "runner" returned LP.  Hope you get better news of the little one.
    Busy, you will be relieved that you have finally managed to get into the garden.

    Hi everyone loving all the Stephen Hawking quotes, I did actually read brief history of time (at the second attempt) all made sense at the time but I could not possibly explain it to another person, which I was always taught is the real test of understanding.
    Off to the  London Coliseum tonight to see an operatic version of A midsummer nights dream. Not sure how that will be but you gotta give these things a try. Some seedlings in the propagator are coming through- I am long way behind compared to last year but then that was exceptionally mild.

      He did the first job in October, then tore his cruciate ligament...


    He has my utmost sympathy ... I tore mine over twenty years ago ... it's now agreed that it's the cause of all my knee problems  >:)  Tell him if it doesn't heal properly to go for surgery if he possibly can ... I should've insisted while I was younger ... now they tell me that the recovery time would be too long and at 27 years old I would deteriorate because of the enforced inactivity  :#

    The techy chappy is a no show.  Still, I've got all the cleaning done that I wanted to do and am about to have a shower and head off to do the weekly shop via an unsupervised raid on LIDL in case they have spring plants in...............

    Those ligaments are very dodgy.  Mine is stretched and occasionally tweaky but no-one ever suggested surgery.  In addition, since I had my new feet I walk differently and that sometimes means new twinges but after spending 6 months on the sofa recovering from the feet I'm avoiding surgery and will try instead to build up muscles.  Still got bruising and tenderness after that fall but hoping to start walkies again next week - assuming the weather improves.

    Joyce - frustrating isn't it.  Busy - I hope your weather is better than ours today so you can get outside.

    My ACL has been revealed by the MRI to be 'hanging by a thread and totally useless'  :/
