    I couldn't find a customer recently and had no phone signal to contact them. When I eventually found them , I explained that I'd TRIED to call them. 
    " yes I even got my wife to call the store on the land line to tell them to call you" 
    " but I didn't have any signal" 
    " that's why she used the landline" 
    " but as I had no signal, the store wouldn't have been able to get hold of me"
    He then accused me of having an " attitude"
    hey ho.

    @Obelixx Hopefully that is the ticket, and they can get Bonzo in.
    @fidgetbones Some people have no manners. Shame on them.
    Welcome to our garden. I will be your tour guide.
    Our new lawn ornament won't hold still. He has been the cause of much exhaustion this past week and a half. On the bright side, he is very receptive to training-unlike most lawn ornaments his age.
    On the right-the longer grass, probably hard to tell which-is an example of a full infestation of bindweed. It is extending out from our blueberry hedge and originates from under the neighbors fence. The stakes indicate where to avoid mowing to keep from contaminating the grass clippings. Good thing, because you can't tell which part is and isn't mowed anymore.  :s The water bottles were meant to capture said bindweed and be used in it's eradication via vineger/salt/soap treatments. They have been flattened by aforementioned lawn ornament. It's been two months and we haven't gotten to it. Maybe by next spring we will, you know, after it's reseeded itself adequately for the next 20 years. :#

    Heres a couple of comments from a pharmacy site I still belong to. Names have been erased.

    "Bank holiday weekend is here 🎉 after a rather eventful morning with a patient kicking off in the building threatening to kill the doctor and then pulling the fire extinguisher off the wall and running across the park with it, only to throw it away and then pull his shorts and undies down to expose himself to us 🙄😂 two police cars arrived shortly after and have parked around the roads awaiting his return. Happy bank holiday people, I will be heavily drinking this weekend 🍾🥂🤷🏼‍♂️"

    "
    Young girl comes into pharmacy tonight says she left a script a couple of weeks ago. So I go look for it in retrieval it's not there. So I look in owing box no luck again. Look all the way through all of the retrieval box a to z. I go back to patient make sure I am looking for the correct item adding that I am struggling to find the prescription. No I left it here she says. Ok I explain I will check all the prescriptions on the shelf did she want to still wait. She said yes. I and another member of staff check all the shelves yet again no script. I then look under the doctor for scripts collected still no script. I go to patient and tell her I am really sorry I can't find any prescription for her. She then tells me that we gave her the prescription back as we didn't have the stock so she went to another chemist just to try elsewhere. But the best bit is yet to come she lost the script. WTF !!!!!!😜 FOCUS .. (f off cos your stupid).. I could have decked the idiot. 😭 I then nicely phoned the GP to help her . A good 30 minutes wasted in my life that I will never get back"

    Do I miss Pharmacy?... not a bit.

    Let's hope we don't have any post-Halloween shortages then. Was the courgette famine last year or the year before?

    I've got a bone to pick with you @wild edges...
    Those r*ddy weevils have travelled up here. I've got two heucherellas, which are in wall containers, both with eaten roots. They were fine  a couple of days ago  >:)
    Potted them up so fingers crossed.

    Weevil killers ordered too....

    No courgette famine here. I keep finding lurkers under the leaves.  Strangely the wood that was next door that got decimated has erupted. Sunflowers, the odd squash plant or three, and lots of borage. I hadn't even done any guerilla throwing of seed around. Those squirrels have been busy.  The foxes have been digging holes in my lawn for some reason. They have even started on next doors as well.
