    When the girls were little, I was told my machine was old when it was about 6 or 7 years old @Obelixx. I've never bought an expensive one since.

    I'm beyond furious about what I just heard on the news on the radio. People hiding in vans/cars to get across to islands - to play golf.

    Bad enough when I read earlier that they've had to close the roads in and around Loch Lomond because people won't stay away. Needless to say- locals have had to deal with the litter they leave behind   >:)
    These people are despicable. 
    they play golf..... enough said.

    It's the cold air from up here, moving south, and hitting your warm air @B3 :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Oh that's all right then @Fairygirl😐
    Moving on: whilst TV surfing, I chanced upon Michael McIntyre whom I find intermittently slightly amusing. Anyway, he had one of those tiny ' discreet ' microphones. It looked like a sebaceous cyst in need of urgent treatment.
    We all know he's using a microphone. Why try to hide it? Any other colour would do ,apart from unlanced boil marbled yellow.

    I've thought the same thing about these 'discrete' microphones.  The first time I saw one was during Olympics coverage a few years ago, and I also thought it was the world's biggest zit!

    You go to the garden centre. You see an unfamiliar plant with  niceish leaves.  The flowers on the label look good. You buy it. You check it out on the internet. A nice looking plant.  You nurture it for six or seven months. It flowers eventually and it's a steaming pile of 💩. Even the slugs don't want it!
    It's a rare healthy plant that goes on my compost heap, but artemesia sancti johannes is it. Come more hail or a plague of frogs, it's on the compost heap tomorrow😡

    Yesterday we were celebrating the completion of the major renovation of our new home.  Today we noticed a very wet patch of lawn, on a corner driven over by an immense concrete-mixing lorry on Thursday.  I think it's cracked the water main...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Oh no @Liriodendron, I echo Dove's comment!! I do hope you find it's not the water main.
