    Sorry, I didn't think. Not my end, I hope.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    How many Ends of the World does that make now. Think we've had half a dozen or so since the turn of the century.

    The forum signed me out, which is odd because the 'puter is supposed to keep me signed in.  A glitch I suppose.
    Mrs Duck has turned up. On her own, last year she had an entourage of two drakes. It must be the same one who has been coming for four or five years now. She came straight up to the patio and stared at me for food.  I'm surprised she never turns up in really bad weather like when we had snow.

    I was signed out of this and my other regular forum this morning ... after the laptop did a whole load of updates when I switched it on.  Maybe yours did the same?  :)

    Not until after April 23rd. Apparently a death planet Nibiru is going to appear and the end of the world is nigh.

    On the other hand, if you put it on your credit card and we all die, you won't have to pay for it.

    I don't believe anything written in either.
    Hostas came, lovely (one a wee bit on the small side ) all planted in the cool tunnel now for a season's TLC.
    Mulching all day and Hubby did some weeding . I could get used to this help.

    Auriculas arrived, and now all potted up.  Feel like I am now officially an after work gardener.  Can only do it if I head straight out there the moment I get home .....any sitting down and I’m done for :tired_face:

    Great haircut Pat  <3

    Have stopped listening to the radio and reading the news .....nothing I can do about it, so ostrich behaviour seems the best solution.  Loved the twitter pics of Mr Zuckerberg ....”all I wanted to do was create a platform where I could rate girls out of ten, and now I’ve enabled a fascist maniac to lead the most powerful country in the world....”

    Love nigella Obxx - hope it works for you  :D

    Our nice warm dry afternoon turned into heavy thunderstorms, pounding rain and hail falling in drifts and turning the place white later on as we headed off to dance class   I did not sow any nigella or anything else.  Tomorrow then.

    I've been looking for wooden stepladders in local junk sales Chicky but haven't seen any.  Our old aluminium set doesn't have the same feel really.....   Hosta, I seem not o have brought any of my Sum and Substance with me so will have to see if I can put that right at the plant fair coming up.

    We tend to watch the BBC2 news and Daily Politics around lunchtime but not this week as there's some sport thing going on.......  Probably a good week for the games then.  In the end I'm pleased we don't get Radio 4 signal here.   John Humphries and co would be just too much at the mo.   

    Watching Masterchef now.   I really don't want to eat octopus.  Or sweetbreads.  Oh fancies chucking wet logs on the BBQ to smoke mussels.........

    The forum signed me out too.

    Glad it's not the end of Punk.

    Having told Joyce that French garages don't wash cars when they go for servicing, when I went to collect my car they were washing it. I had already washed it with a jet lance but it didn't wash well, think the pressure was too feeble. Not my usual place.

    Been potting up baby tomatoes and dahlias in the GH this afternoon, loads more baby plants to pot before we go to Norfolk on Tuesday.
