  • Think the original thread name stems from the Two Ronnies’ joke about a specific number of candles 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯  so possession of specific gardening equipment is totally irrelevant 😉

    Cheers folks. I'm hoping the appt. will be positive, but you know how it is...
    I think you can persuade hubby by threatening his piles [ooh err matron] with a bonfire, Liri.  :D
    When we had the new boiler put in, during a very chilly January, we at least had an electric shower which helps. I bought a couple of small fires for the girls' rooms, and I had a small oil filled radiator so we managed. Not funny when you're stuck with a situation like yours though.  :(
    Hope to get out in a couple of months or so. Need to get my hill legs sorted first, which is why I'm doing all the decorating just now. That leaves the [hopefully] better weather to get outdoors in the garden and the hills.  :)

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    That's interesting, Dove - I had always assumed it was referring to the nearby curse word, so that's me told :lol: So very proper :wink:

    Hey everyone. Just back from my teaching session so catching up on goss whilst having peanut butter on toast. (Will need to wipe my screen after!). 
    I had a Christmas card with just four candles on it... I think it was on purpose?? 
    I hope you can come out of your flare of M.E. very soon @islander. Sending you positive vibes.

    One of the RHS cards was this one.   Love it.

    Ha ha - that must have been popular - I received that one too! 

    Housework is going... well, it's just going. Motivating a teenager to chip in is exhausting.

  • Hope you’re feeling better soon @islander ... my daughter @WonkyWomble had ME through her teens and twenties when it was even less understood than if is now. ... difficult times ... best wishes heading westwards 😊
