    I thought I'd lost my rhubarb, which was particularly galling as it's its third year so I was looking forward to being to crop more. And yesterday I spotted a leaf coming through, when all hope had been lost. No idea why it's so very late in comparison to everyone else's, but prodigal rhubarb has made me cheerful :smiley:

    Nice story, but reference to a science teacher who gives away most of his salary does try to minimise the fact that he's a monk so has taken a vow of poverty.

    Had to go for a chest xray this morning at the RUH (walk in outpatients) -  in and out in under 15 mins. Amazing!
