    Thanks @Lizzie27 we bought it in a tiny 3" pot about 10 years ago and it's had some many different homes in the garden it's dizzy🤪 it landed here about 5 years ago and the soil is nearly all rubble and it's loved it. We have taken loads of suckers off it which are doing pretty good elsewhere too

    Thank you @Dovefromabove and @Fairygirl so much to look forward to now!  Just wish I could spread this bounty of fortune to the many who have more serious issues  :)

    You just look after yourself @herbaceous - enjoy it, and don't feel any guilt either  ;)

    @herbaceous, that is good news - on both counts. 
     I had a good clear out of our shed last year and painted the inside white with left over emulsion. It makes a a tremendous difference to the inside and the smell kept all the creepy-crawlies away. We've hung all the tools on the walls and put pocketed hangers for small stuff on the back of the doors.

    Thank you @Lizzie27 I can't wait now to put all my stuff back so I can find it!  It is all piled in an old lean to at the moment and only essential tools are reachable.  The mower is completely buried as is the strimmer so all good there too  :D 

    Bet you feel good about your shed, amazing how a good sort out seems to clear the brain as well as whatever is being tidied!

    Not sure if this is a curmudgeon post.
    I saw Biden on the preamble to the Covid Briefing on the BBC yesterday (and had seen him on various other occasions) and am not convinced by the man at all. He doesn't seem entirely on the ball to me. I was asking myself would I have voted for Biden over Trump - and surely that question should never have gone through my mind? Anyone has to be better than Trump surely?
    Anyway, that made me then think how bad the defeat really then is for Trump. If Trump couldn't beat what appears to be a dithery old(er) man, then what would the result have been had the Democrats had a candidate who could remember his own name?
    Makes you think that the American population in general must have been well and truly pee'd off with The Don.
