Who was that with @wild edges … I wasn’t impressed with AppliancesDirect when they screwed up our delivery and installation the other week. I named and shamed them … so let us know who the good guys are .., 😊

Some plants are just plain stubborn. I pinched out the top of a crassula cutting and it sprouted exactly where I pinched it out - no side shoots. I planted a honeysuckle on the partially shaded side of a pergola thing. It insists on sneaking round into full south facing sun . See if I care! I'll let it get on with it.
I forgot to add my reason to be annoyed today. My wife dropped my son to school this morning and was told by his teacher that they weren't expecting him because we'd asked for a couple of days holiday and they hadn't added him to the register. She told them that it had been refused because of time missed for sickness and strikes and they seemed quite surprised given everyone else seems to be taking holidays.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
@punkdoc - I do not use Google to manage my health, just to find clinics I know exist. I also knew, by word of mouth, never to go anywhere near one big hospital complex not far from us. Sensible people keep themselves informed about how to stay healthy but in the UK too many people have no choice about where best to go when they do have a problem.
Of course there are great outcomes in the UK and bad ones elsewhere. I just don't see why you feel it's OK to denigrate someone who takes control over their health management or put it down to luck when things have gone as well as everyone has the right to expect.
@wild edges - are you saying they don't have the same register every day? That must be an admin load they don't need. Great news about the washing machine.
@B3 I have two edgeworthia. The white flowered one is doing fine, all bonny and bushy. The Red Dragon version, grown in exactly the same conditions, has only produced leaves right at the end of its stems. Rather than pinch them out I've tried that trick of notching the stem just above a node to see if that stimulates growth. Fingers crossed.

Good luck with that @Obelixx. I'm not too bothered about the crassula. I dismantled an old plant and gave away all but two rooted cuttings. One is bushing out. The other might be left out the front to be rehomed if it doesn't behave.
Pondering this morning … human beings are such odd creatures … this need to control, from drawing lines on maps and deciding who can be where, to being perfectly happy to spend lots of money buying seeds and grains from across the globe to feed some birds but getting upset when other birds eat the leaves from trees growing in our gardens …
The way the world is going there may well come a time when we’re planting trees purposely to feed the few birds we have left … but at the moment that’s not what the trees are there for 😖 or is it ….🤔

Well replacing the washing machine turned into a 12 hour job yesterday and I'm back on it today. Half the utility room had to be moved to get the machines in and out so I decided to deep clean and organise while I had the chance. This extended out into the hallway and my office last night and I was still dusting at midnight. My sinuses are burning today from all the dust
