    My runner beans seem to agree with you on that. Next year I'm going to try growing some in the greenhouse. We'll never get a crop from them at this rate.

    My morning glory are sulking so I'll let them get on with it. There's nothing I can do anyway.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    You're not alone wild edges.  I swear my runner beans are actually now smaller than when they were planted!

    There's probably never a good time for these things but the monumental mason that lives in my street has just aquired a new AMG Mercedes and the local funeral director is still driving his bright white Lamborghini around. :|

    Here's a consipracy theory for you. Do you think that you're less likely to win a competition if you refuse to sign up to the company's spam mailing list? Based on never winning a thing I suspect my spam-free entry goes right in the bin.
    A pair of GW branded gardening gloves just came in the post and I assume they were from the 'win one of 5000 pairs' competition. Do you think they're trying to silence my conspiracy theories? :o 
    Anyway the dentist was fine. I wore my face covering, even though he insisted I take it off for the procedure, they took my temperature (doctor style not vet style), and he packed my tooth back up with some sort of cinnamonish flavoured polyfilla and told me to come back in a few months when it wears out again. It only cost £14.50 so I hope the NHS pays them a good wack otherwise the dentist and five other staff members needed to deal with just me for 20 minutes aren't going to get much out of it.

    Were your gloves purple and just a tad too small? Mine were.

    I've an appointment at the end of the month ... it's only for a checkup postponed and rearranged from April ... I rang to see if they were going to postpone it again but no, they're still expecting me.

    It's hard to describe the colour. They're basically that lurid turquoise that was very popular for bum bags and shellsuits in the 1990s. The fit is very good though.
