have not posted for a while because I seem to have become irrationally obsessed with my neighbours. It is a major character flaw, in that I become like a dog with a bone and also develop rather evil tendencies to plot acts of retribution, for all perceived, or actual sleights.
Not surprisingly OH is fairly p####d off with me and we have decided that I should spend as much time as possible out of the house, whilst she is at work.
I am trying to visit local gardens, local RSPB reserves etc etc., to try and keep my mind off things until I regain some sort of perspective.
I hope you are all well.
Happy Birthday Fairy.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Hello Pdoc - good to see you - glad you're finding positive things to keep yourself occupied - the other stuff doesn't do anyone any good ((hugs))
Watched Sir Tom on Jools Holland the other day - brilliant, better than he's ever been - trying to stop myself buying his new album Long Lost Suitcase - it's on my wish list for Father Christmas
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hello P'doc - nice to see you - you were missed. Which gardens / RSPB places have you been to? Any good sitings? Don't forget we like pics on here
Pat - Sir Tom might still have 'It' but he doesn't have that job anymore I think I'm right in saying they've replaced him with a younger model.
BBC definitely needs to pull it's socks up and concentrate more on the drama & documentary side (at which it generally excels) and leave the reality / talent stuff to the commercial channels. Am really fed up with dumbed down television.
Glad you have had a couple of good nights sleep Hosta - makes all the difference doesn't it?
Had a little useful rain yesterday which, hopefully, will have rewatered the 60+ perennials I planted / divided etc last week. Today, I just need to go out and water a couple of new shrubs and pick some veg to take on my jollies. I think it will be time to take out the cosmos and nasturtiums shortly after we get back - but they are still flowering their socks off at the moment and I can't bring myself to uproot them.
Enjoy your day everyone.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down

Now I'm confused. Wakes-Cornwall -sorry Verdun. I'm an ignoramus. Didn't realise.
I'm sure he doesn't mind - after all, they're all Celts

Morning all.
Glad to see you back doc, you've been missed and lots have expressed warm wishes in your absence.
Funny reading back and talk re Tom Jones. Just as I was reading Sir Tom popped up on the random play on iPod.
Had a lovely day out with Lyn yesterday and slept like a log last night.
Glorious sunny morning here and just a light breeze.
Almost the weekend chaps.
