    Love the photos of the little Wren Hosta. When will it get a tail? Mine have really long stickup tails.

    It's only when we allow our youngsters to get bored that they learn to entertain themselves.  :)  It's what sparks creativity and independence.

    Either that or you put Pink Floyd's 'Time' on the CD player - if that does make them get up and move, not much will.

    That's what @WonkyWomble would've been listening to when she was a bored adolescent mooching about and whinging   B)

    Afternoon all.  Gorgeous wren, Hosta!

    I'm feeling irritated.  I've got a long list of things to do today and tomorrow, before I set off for Scotland early on Monday morning, but at the moment I'm sitting with my foot up... this morning I went out to feed the birds, which involves climbing on the 2ft retaining wall behind the house.  I was in a hurry and the top stone slipped out of the wall under my foot, depositing me on my back on the metal grid above the light well for our kitchen.  No serious damage done - a few bruises, and a swollen foot, but it's slowing me down...

    We've transferred all our vinyl recordings to CD - but the vinyl's still in the loft.  The sleeves, as Punkdoc says, hold so many memories.  "Another Monty Python record" has a sleeve which appears to be recycled from a recording of a violin concerto, with the Python details scrawled on top.  It must have been a couple of years before we read the original sleeve notes underneath, and discovered that after the first few paragraphs they'd been completely "Pythoned" - talking about "Mozart's use of the high lob" etc.   :)


    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Yes, that's the one @Hostafan1.
    It is the hardiest one in my garden, and seems to last 4 or 5 years before I replace.
