    Some days are fun days with kids, other days you have to sell all your fun stuff, they give you their viruses and then keep you up all night for the 5th night in a row :| 
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Also I've booked in a man to come and service and reseal all my windows on Monday. I hadn't realised quite how many plants I'd accumulated until I had to work out where they're all going to go to give him access to the windows :#

    Are all those plants up on windowsills?  Once you have two munchkins wandering around on wobbly legs I don't hold out much hope of the plants being safe.   may moons ago, we had a couple come and visit with small children and I moved everything out of the living room that was below waist height and they still managed to pull over a plant on a high whatnot stand.

    At the moment they're up out of reach but a lot will go out into the greenhouse for the summer. Next winter they'll be restricted to the off-limits rooms so I'll have to reduce the numbers of pots somehow. I've moved a few into wall mounted pots and hanging planters though. I've no doubt there will still be some casualties though :D

    My mudgeon is very much curred at the moment.  Using Firefox and it has just updated itself and the Ad blocker isn't working on this site any more.  The ads are already driving me nuts!

    The Adblock plugin works great for me. Which one are you using?

    Every single time I go out into the garden, it starts to rain. As soon as I go in, it stops. April ☔ showers😐

    Using Adblock Plus.  Looks like settings in it got switched off with the latest Firefox update.  Checked the settings literally 3 or 4 minutes ago and it's already blocked 30 ads.

    Feeling very curmudgeonly here tonight! 
    In our town we have a very good butcher, he always deals with locally farmed meats.

     Our lidl sells meat, bacon, gammons, hams all in the packaging marked W...... and Son,  so I was under the impression that Lidl were buying meat from this butcher, so I’ve always bought it.
    I've never thought to look on the labels, that meat has never been to Cornwall, in fact it’s only ever seen the UK in its dead form. 

    Another thought as well, my son used to work for a local butcher, not the above mentioned one, but they used to send cattle in a lorry all the way to Scotland then drive it all the back a few months later so it can be called Scottish beef,  ok doesn’t matter, it’s trade, but what gets me is being made to feel constantly guilty about taking the car out, using fuel for heating, using plastic, farting and every else.  

    You see, this is what happens to me when I’m not well and can’t get on with what I need to get on with.  Turns me evil😀

    I don't see why the slaughterer can't drive to the farm and kill the animals there, put the carcasses in his lorry  and take them away. It would be less stressful for the animal and cheaper to transport.
