    We do too B3 except for the breeze blocks but they'll be covered by vines in due course and we only see them when OH goes round to tend to his rescued vines or we're mowing.   There's a rescued kiwi at the far end too which has gone berserk this year but no fruit yet.

    I'm sorry that my loo roll pic ended up so big.  It was taken on my phone and I re-sized it, but obviously not enough... the re-sizing tool just tells me what percentage of the original I've achieved, not how big it is in mb.

    Time to look at another re-sizing site methinks.

    Re counting the sheets:  is there a standard area for a sheet of loo paper?  Some of my saved loo roll innards are taller than others, so perhaps manufacturers have tried to get round the regs by making the sheet narrower...

    Your loo roll pic was fine. Big enough to accommodate the hole too.

    Those of a sensitive nature, look away now. 
    My oldest friend ( since we were in school ) sent me a message to say his 26 year old son has " Terminal Stage 4 , Metastatic Melanoma"

    I hope it helps him. I was re-watching a bit of Christopher Hitchens on the subject of God only this week. His is a voice I miss in public discourse

    @Hostafan1((hugs))  life can be cr@p at times ... here's hoping for one of the miracles that only the likes of the NHS are capable of performing ... like the one they performed for my niece a couple of years ago.

    I'm trying not to think about it, but it keeps coming back in waves and washing over me.
    Not in the best of moods to-day. :'(
