Thanks Fairy Girl yes keeping better just waiting on word to go for a brain scan have good day and some not so good but just get on with it. Not allowed to drive yet till i get the scan and everything is fine. Wife took me to the G/C yesterday and i turned not well wife said she seen it coming on turned pure white and lost my balance she said i looked drunk the way i was walking and still got a shake in my left hand. Hopefully time will sort things out all being well but not going to let it hold me back going to London for three days in a fortnights time and booked two weeks in St Ives for June/July time. Hope you and the girls are all well and healthy roll on spring time for all us who love there garden take care.
KEF how do I find the four candles link,and yes blood pudding is also called black pudding.A whiteout would be like driving along at a 100 k and suddenly a large white sheet is thrown over your entire vehicle.
Hi Andy. My mum went through something similar about 20 years ago. She was very lucky as my dad had health insurance through work and therefore didn't have to wait for scans etc. That said, the surgeon who did the scan went on holiday the next day for 3 weeks - he told my mum that it wasn't life threatening so it didn't matter! I hope you get the scan soon and things can get sorted Mum is fine now btw
Bill, link is a few pages back. If you can't find it the go to You Tube and search for Four Candles it will come up Glad I can't drive or that I live in Canada - that description of a whiteout sounds terrifying! I did like Toronto when I went there on holiday though
Andy - I'm sending you a little PM so check them later
Bill -that's a great way of describing it. I read some of the posts from previous days and I'm so sorry about your son. Nothing anyone can say to make it better for you and your family but, as you already know, loads of us are here when you need some support. There's some truly kind,great people on this forum.
PS - Google 'The Two Ronnies' and/or 'four candles' and it'll give you something.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I made squash soup yesterday, no spice, it doesn't agree with me. We had it with warm cheese scones (with parmesan/without mustard and paprika)
OH was looking late Friday night at the forum. He thinks we are all bonkers except for the bunny boiler. When I said the haggis in verdunland were being rounded up by the piskies, he said we ought to have a virtual garden, a bit like simcity. except admittance free. It would have absolutely no slugs/snails/vine weevils or lily beetles.
In spring it would be decked out in spring flowers,then with a wave of fairygirls wand, it would change to a early summer display to put chelsea flower show to shame. Of course the orchard would be full of luscious fruit in Autumn and the veg patch would keep us going all year round. No problems with soil types, acers would grow next to buddlejas. I think we would have to have a new thread, to be entered On Friday nights mainly, but open to anyone to have a wander if they need a bit of r and r. Of course all the cakes from the cake shop next door are calorie free, and the alcohol gives no one a hangover. Any strays can be rounded up in puncdocs tardis.
You don't sound too good at all, sorry to hear that Andy, I think I must have missed it on a previous post, maybe before I joined. Hope all goes well with the scans and you get sorted.
I think this thread is more than just a gardening forum, it's good to have somewhere to let off steam, it helps people understand if you are quiet, or not yourself. I love the gardening stuff on the rest of the forum though, I've learnt so much in a week.
Talking gardening for a moment, my borders are being done next Friday so now trying to decide what to move where and then a trip to the GC next weekend, can't wait
