  • Stacey - how lovely that he felt able to ask you - you're going to make a good friend there. image 

    My Pa's a year older than him and would love to be able to get outand do something in the garden again - sadly he's not able to walk and needs hoisting, and he gets very tired, although his brain is as good as ever, when he's not asleep.  Our family are known for being good at sleeping.  Your neighbour must be very fit to be able to even consider a little bit of gardening image

  • Its very sad when someone dies that way, but I do really feel for the train drivers, I can't imagine what they must go through. My son travels to London every weekday by train and this happens quite often.  So terribly sad for all concerned

    Hope you're ok chicky

  • Someone must be in a truly terrible place not to be able to think of the aftermath of their actions and the effect it will have on the people involved and their own loved ones.

    I know a train driver, he's never been the same since his train was chosen

    I can't help thinking how awful it is for the train driver. One of the boys in my sisters class had a motorbike. He took the bend out of the estate too wide and ran into the front of the once an hour bus. He was hospitalised for three months and then went home to recuperate. His bike wasn't really damaged until his father took a sledgehammer to it. The bus driver didn't work for six months (my father knew him), and wouldn't do that run afterwards. The boy didn't die, but the bus driver had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  It must be much harder for a train driver when someone dies in front of them.

    Stacey I haven't looked at the link.image

    I have no experience at attending a suicide. My Bro' saw his friend on a motorbike in front of him die when he hit a lorry, not L driver's fault.

    I have my views about end of life and ways and means. Don't think this is the place.

    Back to happy things. I got 2 bargain, need of help plants. Caryopteris heavenly blue & un -specied Cistus, maybe pink or white. Both a quid.

    Understand growing needs in spring as I understand they flower in late summer / Autumn. As only small :-

    GH in existing pots?  Pot on and GH ? or stand O?S in shelter in existing pots? Any cutting back needed?

    Well for a quid if they live they live.

    B&Q bulbs half price. On packs states 2 for 5 quid, so me thought 4 packs for a fiver. Not so, half of original price!  Only a few bob more expensive but naughty I thought. 

    Off to watch tele' Poirot. Might fall asleep full of Idle pie & peas.  Will explain Idle pie tomoz' if someone else doesn't.

    Enjoy your night.

    Evening folks,

    Quite a nice day really. Went to a meeting at school about son, listened contendedly as they said lovely things about him image Other schools were so negative because they didn't 'get' him. So pleased I managed to win the tribunal for this school.image

    (by the way 'get' means understand and it really winds me up when David Cameron says it, surely his education was sufficient to have a better command of the English language. However,I am quite comfortable using it in this context. oops rant over).

    Watched TV whilst ironing (come on it's better than doing it at night) and then mum came over for tea.
