Evening T'Bird. I think that Halberstadt also suffered dreadful destruction during the war but it is not so far from Magdeburg so that probably explains that. Its when you see tapestries over 1000 years old, and you consider the natural fibres that were more than likely used in their construction, that you then just have to admire the skill shown by the tapestry workers initially and then the wonders of preservation over the centuries. Awesome!
I hope that Busy and her OH have arrived safely at their friends.
Sending all best wishes to SGL and her family.
I am signing out for tonight. Enjoy your evenings everyone. See you in the morning.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Oops, sorry Hazel - just spotted your post. I got 6 plants in total - all just little ones to be grown on from that famous auction site. 2 Veronicastrums, 1 Polemonium, 1 white Geranium phaeum, 1 Geranium macrorrhizum (pink one) and 1 Epimedium. Good idea to let your son do the flashing. Going up tall ladders gets a bit scary when you get to 27!

LB glad you enjoyed time chatting with bestie and a nice treat to get home to some goodies. Hazel good to spend time with your son. He’ll be wanting cups of tea for his endeavour. I’ve been asleep as I drifted off after lunch and rather resembled the lovely snoopy cartoon. Mum bought a snoopy in spoils years ago and still has it. Topbird sounds like you’re having a lovely time. My prescription sunglasses arrived today in tortoiseshell in an oversized style, very pleased with them. Rosie
Nice selection of plants there LB. I was admiring a new plant we bought some time ago, a dwarf Veronica, and was pleased to see plenty of new growth. Hope you're do well over the coming months. @rowlandscastle444, yes, LB comes up with some wonderful Snoopy pictures 👍😊 Signing out for today folks. Night all.
Good morning all. Grey and misty here this morning. Fiancé is going to see about a job today. Pub in Didmarton where he worked before are desperate to get him back. He will see what they offer before he looks elsewhere. He is rather down because he feels he has failed at a job that had great potential and he worries about financial security after the horrors of lockdown when he lost all his savings so quickly. We are fine at the moment so hoping a new job will help his mood.
Middle son, who lives with us , went to Liverpool yesterday with plans to find work and accommodation and move back there. He was living and working there when lockdown hit and it’s been difficult for him to get the confidence to move back but he loves Liverpool so it would be a great move for him.
A very good morning one and all. Should be Canasta today - depending on the weather! I will be checking on my new plants which I potted up yesterday. When I filled the bird feeders I noticed that the bird baths need a bit of a clear out so that will be a task for first thing this morning. Hope that you all have great Fridays!

Good morning everyone .Wet and cold morning here .Debs fingers crossed for your OH and your son .I hope they can find something suitable . I know it can be daunting looking for a job that suits your skills and covers your needs .LB enjoy your new plants . My bird feeders are a job for today too .
Good morning Debs (we posted at the same time) and Ruby. Debs, you just have to reassure your fiancé that he hasn't failed at all - how can protecting yourself from some sort of breakdown be a failure. It takes courage to accept that the job was not for him with its demanding hours and to leave. I think he is very brave! Good luck to your son too. He is returning to Liverpool at a good time - what with Eurovision etc. I hope he gets sorted with accommodation and can meet up with some of the friends he had already made.
Ruby, I've had a little stroll outside and it is WET. I am assuming from yesterday's rain. It does not seem to be as cold though.

Good morning all. I fell asleep in the sitting room, just woken up. Debs hope job searches bring positive results with the right circumstances, fingers crossed. LB take care in the garden.
