    There was a scene with a mammogram in the film Ordinary Love (BBC iPlayer) - looked most uncomfortable. Not sure I should have watched the film anyway - too close for comfort.

    I’ve never found it uncomfortable but I know a lot of women do,  my cousin is quite flat chested and she suffers after from some pain.

    The machine looked like it had been designed by an engineer. Functional.
    The film (to me) was very good though - although I suppose it couldn't get in the 'normalities' that people go through - as it wasn't all gloom.

    That looks like it is well worth a visit @Dovefromabove.  I bought Terracotta a couple of years ago but the problem with Achilleas is that they tend to change colour!
    @Lizzie27 - I remain impressed with your mortaring skills!
    Going to pick my car up today - it's fixed, and for almost half of the £1,000+ originally quoted so that's a relief.  They have replaced the clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder - if anyone knows what those things are!  As long as I can get in gear when the lights change and don't stall on roundabouts any more I'm fine with that!

    Hi all

    very heavy rain overnight, garden looking battered this morning.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Hello all, cool and rainy here. we have the plasterboard chap here in our new extension, it's only taken three years to get to this stage what with the court proceedure! hopefully we can move on now. Went to the SM this morning, more people wearing masks again, presumably beacause Covid cases are on the rise again here.

    Sleep tight @Pat E

    Weve just rushed out and taken the washing in … it’s raining … don’t think it’ll last many minutes but the washing was just about dry anyway. There’s a good breeze out there. 🌬

    Afternoon everyone,  the men came at 7:30 & they are still here, I think they will finish today, so much for 4days work, mind you they have cracked on
    I have been at Capel Manor, practicing my topiary on some of the box in the Japanese garden.  Still finding box moth caterpillars,  in spite of them having sprayed, 3 weeks ago.  They are still trying to get sponsorship from Mitsubishi, the head man is due over from Japan at the end of June,  we will have to wait and see.

    RIP Paula Rego … a giant among painters of the 20th/21st centuries. I met her once … so kind and wise … and so perceptive. I helped hang an exhibition of her work when I worked at a centre for the arts … and accompanied the work when we returned it to her studio after the show. Such a privilege.
