I meant to say Liri, that I had a good laugh at your donkey tale, 😂
im glad your chooks have settled into their better life with you Obelixx and that Bonzo seems more comfortable. My daughter needed to take her dog, Charlie girl, to the vet today. She had an obvious bladder infection, based on her continuous attempts to urinate. When she took her to the vet, it was also discovered that she had a small cyst to be removed from her cheek, so antibiotics given to see what’s what after the course has been finished.
That donkey sounds like an ancestor of the donkey here @Liriodendron!
I wanted to tell the UK tax people about my change of address as I have received a tax code letter from them. I have a small NHS pension. Message on the phone says they are shut but then the message of their opening hours says they are open! So I tried to do it online. Opened an account and got a password etc but after lots of questions and acceptance of my French mobile number it wanted an English address. But I use a French address for them as I am officially tax resident in France. They know my old French address, letter was forwarded by the French Post Office.

Hi everyone bright and breezy start weather wise but cloud now. Bit creaky from yesterday so have not rushed back to plots even though it's dry. Might venture to a GC later, we are a month post vaccine today, got to start going out again sometime.
Possum has helped me reorganise the garden shed and move in my cupboard and drawer set from the barn. It's where I keep my coir pots and loo rolls and so on for sowing and potting so I didn't want it completely exposed to the elements when what's left of the barn roof goes.
Cave sorting next but there'll be too many spiders for Possum I expect. Bit of a wuss about creepy crawlies and we don't mention snakes altho the only ones here are not venomous - Couvreleur or Western Whip Snakes. We haven't seen any since June 2017 when OH caught this pair canoodling.

I had one of those in my last garden, but they aren't poisonous. It was more afraid of me, once I watered it by mistake and it shot up the wall of the house into the gutter!

I guess the Kray twins had character too, @Obelixx, but I doubt if that made them likeable... and reading your contribution earlier, I was momentarily taken aback by "marmite and ginger jam". Sorry...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Grey and chilly wind here today. Started to prune the Salvias yesterday and do some tidying, what a shock to the system! Arthritic joints and muscles are all complaining today. Thought I would start on the rose pruning as well today but too achy after a couple of bushes. Oh says I should have done more exercise during the winter to keep my strength up @Obelixx where did you manage to find your sunflower hearts? I can only find them online at a price.
I think I'd still have wanted to steer clear of them, @Hostafan1. But perhaps Hitler would have been a better example of someone unlikeable but with character...

@floralies - France Rurale which is a local garden and smallholders' supplies store that covers fences and netting for growing small animals and chooks to fruit and veg to plug plants, seeds and whole plants and orchard trees plus the doings for making wine, beer and preserves plus pet feeds and equipment and wild bird feeds.
It was the wrong kind of winter for getting exercise for me too and no dance classes either so I'm probably the least fit I've ever been but we'll soon catch up, won't we?
