Grey and very wet here, don't think I will be getting my walk. Physio. were pleased with me yesterday, said I was far to negative about my progress, where have I heard that before? Question is, will I be able to sit in a car for 8 hours, by 29th. February, we are supposed to be in Scotland for Moira's Mums 90th?
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Don't sit for 8 hours @punkdoc, stop and get out every 2 hours and have a little walkabout. Any chance of staying in a hotel with a good restaurant en route or does Moira have to get back for work?

Very best wishes to your Son for the laser surgery @Dovefromabove
Hope your eye infection continues to improve @Busy-Lizzie
I wish you a very wonderful and joy-filled Birthday party @D0rdogne_Damsel
My fault for only reading this one thread on the whole forum, but I've just been over to "reasons to be cheerful", and so - CONGRATULATIONS to @WonkyWomble & @Dovefromabove
No signs of life so far from my snowdrops or winter aconites, but one of the iris reticulata seems almost ready to bloom
Best wishes to all as always. Stay safe in the coming Storm Jocelyn folks.

@punkdoc, very sensible suggestions from @Busy-Lizzie. I can’t cope with car journeys any more, even three hours is at the limit of my comfort level. We have taken to scheduling in an overnight stop on anything longer, and it’s really made a difference. More congratulations on WonkyWomble and Doves elevation to grandma and great grandma status! Enjoy! Have a wonderful birthday, @D0rdogne_Damsel! The food sounds wonderful, even though everyone is coming too enjoy celebrating you and your birthday, it’ll be a lovely bonus for them. Dull and grey here after a night of rain. OH has problems with his foot, so he will be having a rest day. More chores for me, I think. Keep well everyone.
Hi everyone, filthy wet morning here, the rain has stopped for now. No storage damage here, but I haven't seen the plots yet. I will probably find a very drunk looking fruit cage when I do go. I should remove the netting in winter but never seem to remember in time. Can I just say all the best folk seem to have Birthdays round about now. Not that I'm biased in any way of course 🤣
Afternoon all, it's been wet here as well but it didn't stop the Green Thumb man from putting on a 'Spring' treatment this morning. Then the boiler man turned up earlier than expected to service the boiler so it was all go as well as a quick nip down to village for the paper and pick up my meds. I then decided to pop back up to the GC to get another blue glazed pot while they were on special offer and also bought two pots of bright primulas in quite nice grey plastic pots - 2 for £10 which I thought was great value, there's probably 3 plants at least in each pot. Treated myself to a latter and chocolate brownie whilst I was there.
Hope the laser surgery goes well for Rob @Dovefromabove.
An overnight stop is a great idea @punkdoc, as Busy-Lizzie says, makes more of a holiday of the journey and will take the pressure off Moira if she's driving. 8 hours is a very long time at the wheel, so much concentration needed these days.
Hope your fruit cage survives @Allotment Boy I've just seen a picture of a whole greenhouse on a railway line somewhere - intact!
Thanks for your good wishes @Badly_Maintained, I'm sure we'll be fine, storm doesn't seem so bad (so far!) as the last one. Nanny state in action? There are always gales in January!
Thank folks. Son is home … apparently there’s a whole series of laser work planned over the next year and more … they said the scarring that is restricting his arm isn’t yet ready for treatment … but he had a bit of cosmetic work done today.
Hope everyone’s hatches are battened down again. Night night folks … sleep tight. 🛌
