    Thank you @punkdoc ... that really was worth listening to. 🙏 

    However OH thinks that now  we should listen to ‘Count your blessings and smile’ by George Formby now ... he’s whistling it 😆

    Have you not got any sticky backed plastic @Liriodendron:D
    Everything I have is well acclimatised, or not out. We've got sub zeros forecast for tonight. Pretty normal at this time of year, but I think some people might get caught out because it's been much hotter than we ever have in spring, and they think it's summer.
    I bought some Morning Glories [Black Knight] and of course, they've all germinated and now I don't know where i'm going to put them. Typical! If I'd only sown 2 or 3, one would only have appeared.  :D
    Glad your neck is much better @Dovefromabove . It's miserable when you have a nagging pain.
    I got rid of mine....I left him....
    Hope chicklet is better today too.

    Oh yes ... how’s Chicklet?  I meant to ask   :/

    The weather has changed in the last hour ... it was lovely earlier .... now it’s grey and a really chill wind has sprung up. We’ve got some figs plumping up do OH has covered the tree with fleece. 
    I’ve put some bubble wrap over the seedlings in the grow house and shut it up. These temps are a big shock after 27C in the back garden yesterday!

    I must have missed that @Fairygirl, is that the other fairylet who is ill?

    Just been foraging some wild garlic, so am going to cook an asparagus and wild garlic risotto for dinner.

    Oh, thanks for that Punkdoc. We all need to be reminded I think. I hope is back to strength soon.

    No @punkdoc - @chicky's chicklet  :)
    She was feeling a bit rough.
    Younger fairylet had symptoms too, as well as me - but we all isolated, and then I stayed at home and didn't walk or anything for a couple more weeks. I've also no idea whether either of my girls have any long term immunity, but they are dealing with the great unwashed at work.
    I have to try and remain positive, but sometimes it's difficult. 

    I think your pic should be posted everywhere.
    Still won't stop the Covidiotic people though. 
    Much as I dislike the wumman, wee Jimmy Krankie is right.

    What a difference 24 hours can make ... yesterday it was glorious ... blue slurs and golden sand... today it looks like a b/w photo

    Thanks for all your good wishes. Hubby is celebrating by glossing the landing doors and I've celebrated by cleaning the bedroom and putting on clean sheets. We really know how to party.

    Chicklet is cheerful enough but we won’t know if things have improved til she visits the practice nurse tomorrow and has her dressing changed (one of the wounds from her appendectomy got infected and although the infection is gone, it is taking an age to heal.  Visits to the nurse every other day next week.  Something to do with the glue they used not working like it should).

    Nettles now cleared 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.  One of the very nice things about lockdown/retirement is that I have the luxury of doing a job like that over the course of a few days, rather than have to tackle it all in one weekend.  Seeing as lockdown and retirement were almost the same time for me, I am finding it hard to untangle the effects of one from the other  🙄

    Congratulations @Yviestevie.
    @chicky, Hope chicklet will get better very soon.
