    I'd rather watch paint dry than pretty much all reality shows. Time they binned the lot.

    That was pretty curmudgeonly, wasn't it?  :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    I can't bring myself to watch anything with "celebrities" in it.
    I never know ( nor care )who 99% of them are.
    Attention seeking z listers for the most part.

    Which go you find more interesting, matt or gloss? I find Hammerite has its moments.

    I like my outdoor paint @B3 - Ronseal Black Tudor Oak. Been looking at a fair bit of recently while doing some  tarting up.  ;)

    It's nice to be proved wrong now and then. I bought a fancy picking contraption today for harvesting apples in tall trees and decided to try it on my cobnuts. I posted a few weeks ago that a squirrel had been denuding my tree of all its cobs but I noticed a few left on high branches. It turns out that the squiggle had left more than I thought  :) The tree overhangs a neighbour's garden and we've never really spoken since she was the prime suspect for causing us issues when we were building the house and I'm less than charitable when I refer to her. When I was angling my picking stick over the fence to pick a prime bunch of nuts she came out of the house and I braced myself for a dispute. In the end she very kindly offered me access to the tree from her garden and I'm popping round there later this week with some apples for her in exchange for her generosity. So I was wrong about the squirrel and wrong about the old baggage despite threatening to shoot both at various point in the past few years :#

    Still no end to the weevil plague though. :|
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Maybe she'll stop chucking them over thefence now😉

    Oh she's already been implicated as the source the weevil fiasco. And plants dying. And pretty much anything else that goes wrong. It's always good to have a scape goat.
