How much are you charging Fairy? I'm stocking up the freezer so they can help themselves but still get phone calls "what temperature and how long" Little Fairy is welcome anytime.
Wish I could go to theRoyal Highland Show, usually do, but duty calls
OL go hide near GH and send for a pizza for one Tomoz' shouldn't be as sunny so hope driving goes okay.
Lesley your Dad is nearly as aged as Dove's. I can't suggest any FD pressie mine always liked a bottle of whiskey given to him sneakily, don't know why sneaky as my Mum nearly 86 loves a tot..for medicinal reasons..lol ..penny has dropped he didn't want to share
Verdun gigantea is that your Patens juanajuato ? If so I have envy. My dahlias have buds and a couple will flower in next few days
KEF my grandmother, when offered a drink, would say "no, I won't have a drink, just a whiskey with hot water and a spoon of honey please". Purely medicinal too. If you went round with a box of chocs she'd say "just the one" every time..
Been hot here too - only just finished the watering
Last exam went "ok" thanks .... And at last they are all over for another year. As you can tell, exams make me stressed even when I am experiencing them second hand .... You can only imagine how bad i was when i was actually doing them myself
Think it might be time for bed soon - feels like it has been a bit of a manic week

Horrid stuff on tv tonight and none stop for a while now...
Night all.
Night those that have retired for the day
Ma and Pa had a lovely holiday and I now have some authentic maple syrup
Had a lovely time catching up with them this afternoon.
Pa is doing a BBQ Sunday so all can have a drink
I expect it to rain 
Hope all the ailments being suffered are better tomorrow. I will be putting up with the 'beautiful game' too MrsG
Just tucking into some home grown strawbs. OH does not know what he is missing
Still, more for me 
Know how you feel chicky - good long term memory
Panda - my daughter claims that real maple syrup has medicinal powers
Time to get my head down now - meeting up with son and then visiting Aged Ps tomorrow ............. sweet dreams all. See you in the morning.
