Hi Dove. Yes that’s why they are so dangerous in a garden setting. Very unpredictable. Best out in the bush, I think.😳
im glad you’re a bit better. It’s taking me ages to get right too. Hubby seems to be a bit more tired than usual, but maybe I’m trying too hard to see if he has any changes from the chemo.
I'd much rather have ginger beer for a dicky tum and a sore throat come to that. Proper stuff, with a kick. We found a couple of cafés/brasseries in Toulouse selling "shots" to beat the winter blues and bugs. Freshly juiced ginger and lemon mixed with honey and served in a small bottle with a teeny straw. Delish and hit the spot for Possum who is slowly coming down with another cold. I expect I'll have it just in time for the 800km trek back to Namur on Easter Sunday.
Haven't drunk much coke since I saw what it did to the varnish when spilt on an office desk way back in the 80s. Haven't drunk any at all since a friend was told to use it in old ice cream pits to soak the rusty and stuck wheels on a fancy, junk shop, multi-storey brass wine rack she wanted to put in her kitchen. And then of course Coco-Cola is hardly ethical as a company.
Have been and done a mega raid on Leclerc for groceries for the week. No green asparagus!! Just the white stuff which is all wrong.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I heard it had to be Coke, not Pepsi, full fat , not diet and leave it to stand until it's flat.
I remember when my daughter was ill some years ago, I phoned the doctor and he said flat lemonade, so 7up is similar. Haven’t heard about coke, I can’t see Roland going into town to get some for me😱

I think it's , as @islander said, the caffeine which helps
Busy Lizzie - they had it in Leclerc in Albi and the market in Toulouse and I found some in Carrefour in La Roche last week but none in Leclerc in Luçon. Grump.
GWRS - they re-did the whole Waterloo Battlefield site and museum and parking and so forth for the bicentenary in 2015. It's much better now tho you'd be forgiven for thinking Napoleon won as it seems to be all about him. Did you go to the Wellington museum in Waterloo?

Good morning all ... I’ve had a virtually uninterrupted night’s sleep 👍 I’m still ‘full of hot air’ 😉 and sore, but nothing like as bad as I was. I think I will recover 😉. Thank you all for your kind wishes 😊

Hi all. Glad you are improving Dove. Terrible nights sleep, probably due to police being round at NDN's at 2.00, no idea why, hope it was serious [ mean of me, I know ] Am going to be allowed back onto light gardening duties today. Moira not having a job, has had one unexpected benefit, she has been a great help in the garden. When she does a job, it takes forever, but the end result is fantastic. Have a good day.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

There was green asparagus in our Leclerc, from Perpignon, 5€ for 500gm. We don't like the white stuff.
My mother always gave us Lucozade when we were young and ill. Is it still around?
Lunch went well, 8 of us, but I had wine and didn't feel like gardening when they'd gone.
Oblerlix , recently been to Belgium , not been there for 20 plus years , liked the Waterloo Battlefield Museum
