    I spent some time in the greenhouse today but my heart wasn't in it. It needs a good tidy for the winter but I need a drier day for that. Still my wallflower cuttings have taken despite me taking them a bit late in the season. Hopefully it will be dry tomorrow for me to get the staging cleared and cleaned.
    I let my son drag me around two garden centres as well today. I don't get to see much at the speed he likes to travel but I managed to wrestle him to a standstill long enough to buy a new planter and some xmas decorations. Garden centre trips are so much cheaper with him to help.
    First xmas decorations went up today. And were rapidly taken back down after he went to bed. :|

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

    This morning I discovered there's a large, mature Liriodendron growing in the grounds of the local Community College.   :)

    That's rather fortuitious Lirio. They are lovely trees.

    I went to the dentist on Friday and he couldn't find anything to do.

    So long as it wasn't because you had left your teeth at home, that's great news😁

    LOL momen there.  There's a chap on TV doing a launch for what I assume is the Clwyd lot saying he wants Wale sto stand up for itself, have freer powers and funding and then, wehn fully independent, they can apply to join the EU.  Didn't they vote heavily to leave?   Got to laugh.

    And the sun is shining too.

    Not only did the Welsh vote to leave, but they were in receipt of more grants from EU than they actually paid in.

    Well, everyone should be allowed to change their minds once the awful truth dawns/emerges  :/
