I can’t help myself. Why do I let myself get slightly annoyed by this fad of saying ‘super’ for ‘very’? Back in the day I am sure I said fab and groovy with the best of them. I must have been so irritating.
'Super excited' is the worst one IMOÂ
Were you 'far out' as well?Â
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I've made pillowcases out of the good bits of a torn sheet, and cut up what's left for cleaning cloths (we use them for messy stuff like oil, paint etc, single-use then chuck) . There are a couple more stashed away for as-yet-unforeseen uses.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Not a happy bunny. I'd been checking for gardens in our area which don't require pre-booking and, although few and far between, there was one in particular that I wanted to visit. It's closed on Friday which is my wife's normal non-working day so she changed her day off for this week. Checked it this morning to confirm opening times, and today is ticket only for NGS. No surprise to discover no tickets available.
I get irritated by the recent fashion for "taking a knee". What's wrong with "kneeling"? Where will it end? Will we be "taking a bum" instead of sitting?
Who would want their children to play on that.
Someone actually said to him, ‘why was he worrying, it’s not down here’!
Around the coast, Life guards were called out at the rate of one per minute this past few days.
The upside is that Mako sharks have been sighted only 20 yards off beach, I don’t think they want that to get out! So if you’d like to pass that on, David would appreciate it😀
 On the very upside though, he’s had his treatment, was almost 6 months overdue but they didn’t want to risk him coming to the hospital. The rheumatology department is now in another building away from the main hospital. All’s well in Cornwall. 🙂
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.Â
We went out yesterday to take the kids for a walk along the canal. The Brecon Beacons were heaving with people parked anywhere they could. We go to a quieter bit of the canal which is miles from any village so you only get the long distance walkers/cyclists there but it was still quite busy. We passed a homeowner complaining because 3 or 4 cars had arrived and just parked in his yard and gone off for a picnic. He doesn't have signs up to say no parking because it's never happened before.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

Some of the suggestions remind me of the tramp's blanket😊
