    Hi all, blowing a right one here !  Got washing on twirly thing earlier and almost dry but well battered ( joke for Panda who had night at chippy) Then base snapped, bit corroded with later inspection and twirly airer took off like a beach brolly and landed on flower bed image plants okay landed where I'd cleared image washing not so good image Yelled OH's name that loud that half the village with same name came to the rescue image

    MrsGarden soz to hear about your finger, do you think it might be broken? Had a friend who trapped hers and hurt like hell but cos she could bend it she thought not broken, but it was. Hospital only did what Bekkie suggested and taped it to next one. Hugs. Maybe some of Pdoc's pain remedy might help. Deffo not fit for any attendance at carp job image

    Verdun sad about the chap with cancer, it's a mean bugger when it gets you image My toms & cumbers came out last week. Toms not been brill cos had to grow cumbers & toms together and in my view not compatable, now got replacement GH so can grow seperately next year. Have my cuttings from Agash growing well to overwinter so will have them next year when cold does the garden one image Tried cuttings from Anchusa lodden royalist but they didn't grow image Do you think it's worth digging it up and putting in GH ? I know you said it was a short lived plant but would like more than one year.

     Had intended weeking, in a sheltered place, but there isn't one!  So thought best to move pots to shelter and make barricades with full watering cans. Ornaments put away and winter veg staked.

    KEF you've not seen any underwear fly by have you? Been making the most of this dry but windy weather by getting all the washing done and I swear I'm a pair of pink frilly ones missing. That said I an going to miss the washing line come the worst of the weather. 

    Trying to decide whether to cut the lawn (his job) or risk waiting til next week when presumably he intends on fixing torches to the front of the mower.

     

    Sorry to hear about your chap Verdun, I hope the doctors can sort him out.

     

    Mrs. G as a qualified clumsy person well experienced in trapping body bits I suggest alternating a large cold glass of cider (the cold glass in affected hand both soothes any swelling and produces an analgesic effect) with mulled wine (the heat having a dulling effect on the nerves both in your hand and mind).

    To be taken as required. 

  • Loving that remedy Clarington! image

    in the absence of qualified medical advice from Punkdoc, that sounds reasonable course of action image

    I only ever recommend something that I have tried and tested THOROUGHLY myself and these hot and cold method has seen me through many a hand / hammer interface (or indeed in't-her-face) failures.

     

    Lawn cut. Best go and get the joint in the oven!

    Love the remedy Clari, Pdoc on Mum duty so you are now our appointed resident medicimageimage

    Soz not seen your undies ( not a good way to say that  image )  dunno if wind blowing in my direction, maybe MrsGarden has seen them flying by. The wind doesn't know which way to blow other than to do a lot of it image We need a smiley with a hat on with a chin strap image

    Hope all have a restful and damage free evening, off to open a bottle of something white & chilled, lemonade of course !  image
