    Obelixx Talla is very quiet today, we had joiners with drills noise and everyth8bg else it take to replace taps in the kitchen and add splash back. She slept through it all, mind you a lot of treats were given. Went to the £ shop and got toys adaptable for dogs 
    As Talla was being watched I got to the wood and give directions for new paths. So rewarding, all my snowdrops from last year are well up, and, in the right place!

    wee gd still sick, such a worry, mummy copes brilliantly

    fidget Oh takes statins. We have always taken Q10 . Didn’t know the connection.

    Morning Chicky, I always think these are the best kind of interviews

    another day everyone, upwards and onwards, spring is just around the corner, just not sure which one but was much milder up here yesterday and how the birds sang!

    Morning all.
    Virtually no aches this morning following a decent night sleep.
    Hoping all others with woes are feeling better today.

  • Good morning all  :)
    Glad you feel better @Hostafan1 ... I echo your sentiments ... I had a reasonable night with the help of painkillers again. Am considering whether to go to tennis today ... the problem is mostly with my left side so ... 🤔

    Why did she think it wouldn't change anything???

    Hi all.
    Very mild here, need to find some motivation to get out and do stuff.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Morning.
    Must have been tired as slept til 9 today! 
    May venture out and do a few bits in garden later once I’ve finished writing a presentation for next week. 
    Have a decent day all, as ailments allow.

    Hosta that is boggling.  Why would any EU country welcome a leave voter to stay and take advantage of their EU-ness.  Probably hasn't bothered to learn any Spanish either.  Our vet tells me there are Brits here for 20 years who still can't speak French and expect to be vetted in English.

    Spring is sprunging round here at the mo.  Birds very busy and chatty yesterday but not quite in dawn chorus mode.   Buds ready to burst on the two wee nectarines and some of the roses and the winter honeysuckle is in full bloom.  The Japanese quince is looking very bonny despite last week's horrid weather and the current frosts.  

    Fabulous clear skies as we got home from seeing The Favourite last night.   Moon too bright to see the comet in Leo tho.

    Good experience for Chicklet, even if it doesn't lead to a job offer.    Hope little LP is better soon and Nalla too.

    Right then.  I have brushes and rollers to sort thru so I can get the loo ceiling done before lunch and then crack on with radiators and covers and hole filling in walls.  OH is manfully lopping all the Provençal cane so we can get it dug out by a man with a digger.
