Lily P - Mighty Atom is a snowdrop which was discovered at Benhall in Suffolk, near my childhood home (not far from Sizewell 'atomic' power station). Magnet is another snowdrop
Dive gear packed. Camera gear packed. Just need to pack clothes and lock up the dandelions. Of course I've come down with a cold. It must have been the traipsing around shops looking for sandals for hubby. I told him to buy them last summer. Of course ,are there any in the shops??? No. They're not in yet.
Clari - if I was you I'd give your boss an ultimatum. Pay today by fast bank transfer or in cash - no more work until you have the money. But you have to stick to it and mean it...
Sorry to hear Doc & Flowers are feeling so rough. There seems to be a really nasty heavy cold / nearly flu / bad cough doing the rounds this year & I'm pretty sure it's what OH & I had last summer. Seemed to last for ever. OH picks up all sorts of bugs from people coming back from far flung places & sharing their germs on planes.
Mighty atom is a lovely snowdrop Dove - was that one of your b'day ones from last year?
I'm playing the waiting game today - my order of 21 plants was despatched yesterday so might arrive today. Schoolgirl error to order on a Wed - if they don't turn up today there's a strong chance they'll be sat in a sorting room over the weekend.
Have a good Friday
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Morning all! Dull here but quiet and dry at present.
Love all those different snowdrops. Now I've found a spot in my garden which really suits the common sorts, I might be tempted to try some of the named ones...
Sorry to hear so many of you are under the weather - best wishes particularly to Flowers and Punkdoc. Plenty of rest prescribed, with plant porn therapy when you're up to looking at catalogues.
Clari, hope your cheque clears really soon...
Pat, great to hear from you again. When I left for Ireland you didn't feel well enough to post. So glad you have a diagnosis and a way forward!
I seem to have invented the Housemoving Diet. Lost 4lb last week without trying - probably due to being too busy to eat... the rented house was in a disgusting state when the family moved in a year ago, but they had no choice. (OH and I were over in a B&B in Galway to help them move in, and borrowed a steam cleaner from the people we were staying with, to make the downstairs loo usable - never seen anything so disgusting in my life! ) It turned out it was an illegal rental - they had to pay cash, and the landlord hadn't registered their tenancy, so they thought they could kiss goodbye to their deposit when they left. But we did a really good job of cleaning everything, including the oven, which really shone - and the agent was so impressed he returned their money.
Anyway, re the 4lb. I'll probably have put it on again, with interest, by the time we return from Madeira!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Meant to say - daughter wanted to get the rented house really clean because she didn't want some other mother with a crawling baby having the same problems she did.

Hello Lirio, you've certainly had an adventure. I have dropped weight as well - down to 61kg now. I'm still not confident about the Dr diagnosis, but will follow her instructions for now. It's a bit too hard to accept some things.

Flowers, that sounds horrible. I can relate to not feeling like posting - I was like that as well.
Dove, I'm already working on where I can use Jimmy's cold frame top. I'll let you know when I've worked it out.
Clari - what a situation, hope it gets sorted soon.
Lily P, I'm much improved, thanks.

Hello Fidget and Topbird. Good to hear updates.
