Hi all, back from my shooting training. The general view of the instructor was, that I could not hit a cows a##e with a banjo. However on the bright side, he said, your average Polar bear is a bit bigger target. I will go for further lesson nearer the time.
Sorry to hear some of you are poorly. My cure all should be just the tonic [ as long as you add the gin too ]
I am going for a drink tonight with a couple of ex colleagues. First time I have seen anyone from work since I left.
Need to go outside to plan where I am going to plant my tulips. Normally I just grow them in pots, but this year I am going to try some in one of the borders. I have chosen Negrita, as it is supposed to naturalise well.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Hi Pdoc - well, if you can't hit the polar bear perhaps you can frighten it away
Have a good evening with the ex colleagues - it's strange 'going back' - I thought I'd do much more of it than I have. Life is so much less stressful now and apart from chatting about our own personal circumstances there's not a lot to talk about - can't chat about work - apart from confidentiality issues I'm not involved so can't join in.
A couple of months ago I was asked to give a police statement re a case I used to be involved with (over 5 years ago). If I'd still been employed I'd have had the opportunity to refresh my memory by reading through the file, but as I'm no longer a local authority employee I was not allowed to read the records, although I wrote them - it's a good job I've got a good memory!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Yea Bekkie the weather is pants. But I think I'm just feeling a bit yuk. I really hate the dark nights with a passion so it could be that. Not on Nanna Duty for a week so I guess I have plenty of time to plant my latest purchases.
I ordered the Nerines on offer in the mag (which arrived yesterday) so I will have to sort myself out soon as I have tulips to plant as well.
doc - only problem is that polar bears run a bit faster than cows...
and why are you using banjos instead of a gun? I think you need to question the credentials of that instructor...
Interesting about Negrita - it's a very nice tulip. I've not bought any this year but I always use pots for them because of the conditions. If you're successful I may try that!
Weather is clearing up a little bit - at last. I've done nowt today
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Only in Sheffield could you be driving an American police car and be over taken by a Welsh ambulance! I think we both gave each other a funny look before we waved!
I've just received my replacement Kindle, hurray. The other one just kept turning itself off. I'm impressed with the service as I only phoned about the problem on Wednesday. Doesn't mean I'll be able to type any better though.

Maybe you'd have done better with the bow and arrow pdoc
We can't all be the cowboys. Enjoy your evening out
Nice colour combination of plants Dove. Funny how we always come away from a GC with a bit more than was on the list
Bekkie - that was a lovely surprise for you today
