    Knew it.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I love that there are so many on this site that make me snigger or guffaw on a daily basis. I often dissolve in a fit of giggles, which is a precious thing. Thanks to those that make me laugh.

    Not abbreviations, but also annoying is "outdoor space" instead of "garden"! and "indoor space" for "room"! 😕

    For me 'outdoor space' might be a greenhouse and indoor space might be a porch. What strikes me is how often gardeners on TV say 'summer months' instead of just 'summer'. If you listen for it you will hear it everywhere. "Water well during the summer months". It has me shouting at the TV. :)
