    Morning all, my sympathies to you Bill, I cannot imagine what you are going through.

    I am trying to stay calm folks, but i am being wound up by a certain someone, so I can only apologise in advance if I respond. One of my many faults is the need to respond to bullies.

    Anyway, lovely and sunny here, done the supermarket, think I might go to a local reservoir for a walk and a bit of a bird watch.

    See you later, hope all the workers have a tolerable day and hope the birthday girls are not suffering from yesterdays excesses.

  • No probs Doc - I know it's very tempting to scratch an itch - but with your medical knowledge you know that results in a nasty little boil so best to ignore it along with the rest image

    Have a lovely walk and birdwatch and report back on what you see - are you taking a camera and binoculars?

    By the way, a friend in Cyprus saw the first swallow this morning - they're on their way back!!!!!!!!!!image  Makes your heart glad doesn't it image

    Ah, swallows, truly magnificent birds. When you see them you know that summer is coming; and when they leave I feel a real sadness.

    I saw some in the bush in South Africa in November, and it amazed me, that they had flown all the way from Britain. I had this strange thought that perhaps the birds I was seeing were the same ones from home.

    Binoculars but no camera. I cant manage bird photographs.

    Good morning all.

    It really poured last night, onto the already wet ground. Lawn is getting full of moss. But today there is a patch of blue in the sky between the clouds. My mum used to say if there's enough blue to make a pair of sailor's trousers then it will be OK!

    Don't bother or even think about the bully, puncdoc. I don't click on ignore because I'm too curious, but usually I don't get too bothered.

  • Good morning all,

    I'm bright and breezy this morning inspite of being a year older and I hope everyone else is feeling good too.

    My intentions this morning is to cut down the cobaeas that have splawed over the border. I assumed they would be killed off in the winter but I suppose it hasn't been cold enough. Cutting them down might be the end of them but they only had a few flowers compared to the ammount of foliage so i won't be too upset.

    The heavens have just opened and it was lovely and sunny earlier so I'll just have to have another cup of coffee before I venture out.

  • Hello forkers

  • Hello all, Hi BizLiz, does anyone remember a winter when the moss grew faster or covered more of your lawns. There may be a world shortage of lawnsand this year. i think I may try to corner the market. image

    I thought it looked warm like yesterday, but the wind is arctic.   I have sown seeds of broad bean(witkiem and perla),some more sweet peas I found (a free packet, I think... Miss Wilmott)and have started potting up seedlings of my touchwood aquilegias. I ordered far too many packets, I couldn't resist. Half sown late July,now being potted on, the other half will be sown this afternoon, for potting on later. I've come in for a warm, despite the greenhouse being a bit warmer than outside.  I usually lose echinaceas, so I was please to see new shoots poking through. Now if I can keep the slugs off them......
