Obelixx, how did Rasta get his name? Be careful of the, I dont know what you are allowed to call them. Aparently, actors are now apologising for having cornrows in their hair. The cream I use for sun spots (refuse to call them age spots, anyway, thats agist) not allowed to be called brightening cream anymore. Is that because it might make me brainier if I use it! Have read that tooth whitening is going to change its name already, what to I wonder, anti yellow.
My Hubby, oldest daughter, grandson all said they hate gooseberries, I grow the hinomaki red they are really sweet, everyone now eats them, apart from eldest daughter who refused to even try them, they went into a crumble.
Weather still fairly miserable here, but it is slightly warmer. Came off my morphine at the weekend and am feeling a bit sore and generally c##p, to be expected though.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
It's been cool and grey and damp here all day but at least not as windy as yesterday. Yesterday was like October. Next week's looking a bit better. I'm so far behind with the garden, if it's not too wet to be out it's too hot to plant stuff. I have a lot of bolting brassicas.....

And we grow Hinnonmaki red, just picked 1 1/2lbs, so gooseberry crumble will be made soon. Tonight we're eating salmon followed by apple & blackberry crumble because I found a bag of last year's blackberries in the freezer yesterday.
Heard from my sister last night, her OH is okay, no cancer found thank goodness but has to wait 6-8 weeks for results of tests, which seems quite a long time but I suppose is because of all the Covid testing. Bet he's a bit sore today, a bit like you Punkdoc. He had gas and air sedation because he's very phobic about injections - took 2 docs and a nurse to hold him down last time!
Try the purple gooseberries @Liriodendron. I can eat those but not the green ones.
Slowly does it @punkdoc. You'll feel better soon if you're careful. How's Moira?
It has stayed cool, grey and slightly damp most of the day but that's OK. Got quite a bit done including planting climbers on 3 sides of the new hen run. Trachelospermum jasminoides on the west, a yellow and white honeysuckle we inherited on the north and a rosa Ghislaine de Féligonde facing east. All intended to provide shade and perfume. The south side will be erected and planted up once we've finished faffing in the hen house.
Wound a seep hose round the dahlia bed too and tested it cos, despite being damp the last few days and having loads of horse poo worked in before I planted them the soil there is dry.
Cleaned, showered and fed now and knackered but still have to wrestle with Rasta to do her ears and swab her wounds clean.
@Nanny Beach Rasta's coat is very sheep like. Very thick, very woolly, inches thick and deeply matted when we rescued her, aged 11 months, and the top layer was curling like a Rastafarian. We all agreed she is a Rasta.
