    I propose a new law. Anyone who discovers a new animal has to name it something that begins with X or Z and is easy to spell and pronounce. That or we rename some of the animals with tricky names and kill two birds with one stone.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    B3 is Panda a tricky name then? If we find any new animals I want them imediatly tested for CV

    I dont think an xpanda's CV would contain much. Eats shoots and leaves and attempts procreation infrequently.

    It's getting to me now. Was just going through the motions in the garden yesterday (plenty of the other kind of motions to go through too💩) .  Will probably do it again today and again tomorrow. I wish they'd could  give us some sort of time frame or some indication that somebody in the government knew what they were doing.

    An xpanda sounds rather like one of those pantie girdles our mothers said we should wear back in the Sixties 😣

    I never had a panty girdle. Swimming butterfly and breast stroke, 5 miles a week, training 5 nights,competition on the sixth, sundays for fun sorted that out. I do remember our new progressive RE teacher trying to teach us some very hard yoga, explaining that it took years of dedication to perfect.  Kneel on floor . Keep everything above knees in a straight line. Recline back to 45degree angle.  Do not use arms to support your body. Hold for 30 seconds.   "Like this , Miss?"     I was never Teachers pet. :D

    Eats shoots and leaves but rarely eats, shoots and leaves.

    Me to B3.  Even more frustrating is that after the rain the ground is ideal for hand weeding, but my knackered hip and knees mean I can't do it for more than 30 minutes at a time and then take a break of at least an hour for the pain to subside enough for another go.

    We didn’t wear pantie girdles because we needed them @fidgetbones ... I had the same waist and hip measurements as Twiggy back then ... we wore them to hold our school uniform stockings up and they were the nearest things the school and our parents could get to a chastity belt 😂
