Quick post from me ongoing debate with call centre in India about EE broadband speed, senior person calling back and no doubt need to keep switching pooter on & off as have been doing all afternoon
Runny so sad for you big hugs. Doesn't matter what animal is killed if you have feelings for them it is a big loss.
Verdun I'm pleased to hear that Mum's funeral went well as could do, hugs to you and family.
Happy 16th birthday little chicklet no need to save me any cake I'm cutting down
How bizarre that my earlier post is spamming itself?
I've bought most varieties from my not so local GC Fidgetbones although it's gone downhill since first opening back in the naughties.
The only Raymond Evison I have is Josephine which I adore. I will check new varieties, its always been splendid and healthy
My list to plant include Miss Bateman (large) Brunette x2 (just because i loved that one) Margaret Hunt, Wesselton and pope john II and nun's gift so far.
I really need something to soften my Paul scarlet rose in cream or green. I also have 3 cuttings hanging about sans labels
Runnybeak, really sorry about your goose, poor thing. My friend has just moved her last chicken & her ducks into a stable because of the foxes, has lost two this week. Nature can be very cruel sometimes.
BL, also sorry to hear about Tigger, sounds very worrying, good sign that he has been referred though, vet must feel positive about treatment.
Verdun, glad funeral went as well as could be expected, never an easy thing.
Such a lot of sad news on here today, hugs for everyone having problems, big or small. Perhaps a piece of carrot cake might help, it is a Hairy Dieter recipe, or it was until I put the frosting on.
Charlie highly recommends it, but he has worked hard for it, been playing with Shadow in the garden for ages, snowball fights & snow chasing - don't ask . Lovely rosy cheeks to show for it too. He did eat all his veggies first btw.
OH is also under strict instructions to fix my trellis too, although that was in September.

Verdun, glad to hear you are OK and that the service was OK.
RB, so sorry to hear about your pet, it's suprising what characters they can be. Secondborn was terrified of Francis, the goose at her riding stables, even though she could manage the biggest horses at the farm.
Wintersong, you seem to be having a right old groundhog day.
Just started to warm up in front of a roaring fire, although for some reason my feet are still cold.
The takeaway has just arrived. catch up with you later.
Oh dear, silly me but I thought that's what the refresh was for!
Runnybeak you've just made me well up while reading your post aloud to OH.
That's not a bad thing since I believe that a shared grief allows the one who passed to feel more warmth and love. Man or beast.
You caught a nerve too, my son phoned late last night, inconsolable about the loss of his pet Cockatiel.
The shape we are, the breed, the height or not fur or flesh or feathers...who are we to judge their importance or relevance in this world? I am deeply sorry for your loss.
RB, im so sorry about your goose, im actually really upset for you, please go out tomorrow and do something lovely or eat something very wrong....or both! theres rhyme or reason to everything eventually, im sure something good will happen to you soon, if its the lotto, remember us x
Sorry Tigger isnt well BL, is awful to feel so helpless, i hope the hospital can help x
Must be hormonal, am sobbing! Silly woman
Verdun, glad things went well, if that dosent sound too weird! Nice you have made contact with your cousin again, things like that do bring a little comfort to hard times x
Hope you get things sorted Kef , i did fresh cheese salad cobs tonight, so no cooking questions
Will have a go at layering the armandii if anyone is interested? Wintersong, its as tough as tough, i had to cut it back as it had got so heavy, it demolished its support! Its come back, but i think i might have to move it
Dove, lets hope all your bad luck is done now and none of it rubs off on your building work! I bet they drag the job out to get more of your cooking!
My lovely fella has just treated me to some more thermal tops..apparently they are very flattering! Not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth!
Hope youve warmed up Yvie, i think you need a drop of vino
Looks like im gonna be watching the rugby on my own, OH is snoring on one sofa, george on the other! But hey, who cares..ive got DOUGHNUTS!!!!

Wintersong are you pressing reload to refresh the page btw? That can make it duplicate the post, it did it to me on a another site recently.
