    Glad your daughter can resume her holiday @floralies, but disappointing it isn't what she expected.  Hope your dizzy spell is nothing to worry about - maybe anxiety?

    That's too much drama in the neighbourhood @Allotment Boy - hope they catch the rotters soon.

    Sounds like you have the horrid cough & cold I had a while ago @Dovefromabove.  Once the nose blowing and coughing had stopped I felt v.tired for a good couple of weeks.  

    Grey and horrible here.  But we are going to the lunchtime concert in town - a solo cello concerto.

    Hello all, cold and sunny, at least it's dry so the washing is out and the washing machine has behaved itself!
    I do get dizzy spells occasionally @didyw probably due to inner ear problems and osteoarthritis of the neck. I shall do the Brandt Daroff exercises again, they usually settle it down.

    Now I know who to blame … 😠 😉

    Morning all, just enjoyed our usual walk, it was quite mild outside. Had an awful shock this morning when the phone woke me out of a deep sleep, thought my brother had died overnight. Thankfully it was only my surgery wanting to switch my ECG appointment at lunchtime to their sister surgery across the city. That's no problem and I'll have an early lunch. Brother is tired and grumpy today according to his wife but at least he's still alive. We've arranged to go up and see them soon.

    Good luck with your scan tomorrow @coccinella and glad your cold is easing. @Dovefromabove.

    Where would we be without folks like you @AuntyRach, hope your shift goes quickly.

    I had six bareroot Mara des bois strawberry plants delivered yesterday so am hoping to pot them up temporarily when I get back this afternoon (weather permitting!). Thinking about planting them on a growbag sat on an old table, hope that might work to keep them away from slugs and lessen the bending for me!

    Have a good day folks, what's left of it.

    Afternoon all.
    Best wishes to your brother and his Wife @Lizzie27
    I hope your scan will go well tomorrow @coccinella
    My best wishes for your continued recovery @Dovefromabove
    Sorry your Daughter's cruise didn't go as planned. I hope she has as good a time as possible in any event @floralies
    I'm very happy to hear that you and Charlie are having such a wonderful time skiing @D0rdogne_Damsel
    Hope the concert was enjoyable @didyw
    Thank-you and others like you for everything you do @AuntyRach
    I hope you new path is progressing well.  Herringbone always looks very elegant I think @Busy-Lizzie
    Hopefully both @Hostafan1 & @punkdoc will have a safe journey to Scotland and enjoy their time there.

    I'm afraid I don't have much news to report.  It is a sunny day, which is nice, but with a very keen wind.  The squill looks like being the next of my bulbs to do something.  I'll post photos when appropriate.
    As always - best wishes to all.

    Hello everyone,

    not posted for a few days, but spent the last 5 minutes reading the last couple of days posts.

    Goodness me @Allotment Boy, that’s the kind of drama you can well do without. It must be somewhat alarming for you all - I hope the perpetrators are caught soon and not just given a slap on the wrist when they are.

    Best wishes for the scan tomorrow @coccinella.

    It looks as if you are having a wonderful and well deserved skiing holiday @D0rdogne_Damsel.

    I think I’d be as apprehensive as your daughter @floralies. I do hope she is able to enjoy the rest of her holiday though.

    🤞you get that much needed rain @Pat E .

    To everyone on their travels I wish you a safe journey and an enjoyable time when you get there.

    We visited my brother yesterday for the day. He’s coping reasonably well after the recent loss of his wife, and keeping himself quite busy. Fortunately his children live quite close by to keep an eye on him.

    Dahlia Campanulatus, grown from seed last year

    Two year old Dahlia Imperialis.( One year old plants behind)


    The root on the left was two feet longer, but it snapped as I dug it up.

    Golly, they are huge @Hostafan1, whatever have you been feeding them on!
