    Whilst out watering, I've noticed that the plants I'm not particularly keen on get a bit less water. I usually do the counting method when watering 10, 20, 30 or 60 depending on the type and size of plant, but the less favoured ones never get the full count - even if it's just 2 or 3 seconds. Nobody gets extra.

    Debs64 at least he does the cooking at home, I thought, it was like that old (another one haha)  adage that builders dont repair their own houses, Because I overslept and the old man was watching Game of Thromes, (he is now, by the way) the top greenhouses was 31c when I staggered out to open the door.  You should see me cleaning my teeth, its either bodybrushing, squats, or standing on one leg at the same time.   I promise you, I do the tasks properly. If we are going out, I will be cleaning teeth, getting bags out of the cupboard, getting whatever ready.

    @Nanny Beach he almost never cooks normally it’s just that he is at home at the moment. Food is delicious but he does make a mess!

    I’ve had a long sleeved tee shirt and a cardi on all day.

    All that will do is make the plants you don't like even more determined to grow.

    @KT53 . Probably. I suppose the question is : why am I watering them at all?

    Is there any food smell more disgusting than the smell of someone else's toasted cheese sandwich?
    It's quite different when it's your own of course.

    Hard boiled eggs beat it hands down.

    Run them under the cold tap and you won't get the smell. I've discovered that this doesn't really work with TCS because the 'chef' gets annoyed for some reason.

    The cat we had when I was a child (1960's) was fed mostly on horsemeat which we bought raw from a family-run shop.  We boiled it - after dinner when we'd all retired to the front room with our tea.  It smelt pretty awful while it was cooking, but worse still on the odd occasion when it was forgotten and boiled dry.
