Funny you should say that, I hardly log into mine these days since I registered on here. I may pop in it, check for messages and scan a few status's, then log out again!
If it weren't for Facebook, I'd never know what my son is up to---but at least we play Scrabble on line every day. Old saying--"A son's your son til he takes him a wife/But a daughter's your daughter the rest of your life"-seems to be true--only I don't have a daughter!
Tom Daley's first big afternoon today (3pm)... hope it doesn't end in tears.
How many photographers does it take to take one photo.
I watched a bit of nighttime beach volleyball last night. Quite some atmosphere. In fact Team GB (who been expected to be hopeless) won their match, against Canada, and the crowd went wild.
I'm still reseaching about grafting. Found an arboriculture site last night and you can ask a question - so I did then was told I had to pay £22. Do you think it could be a scam? . Haven't parted with any money yet. Determined to get to the bottom of it.
Totally random - someone lent me a David Icke book - always thought him to be a fruitcake. The Biggest Secret it's called. Had a quick flick though last night - very strange book. Has anyone read this or am I wasting my time.
Won £2. 80. on euromillions so can't share - there are too many of you . Won't let it change my life.
May ring a tree surgeon today to have a look. ( Depending on cost of course - I've only got £2. 80. ! )
I doubt if that's necessarily a 'scam' (although it could be). I know that the National Apple Collection - Brogdale - will identify varieties of apple tree, by sending a sample, and they do charge, roughly that sort of fee.
I don't think a tree surgeon would have a clue. Surgeon is a misnomer, butcher would be more accurate.
Someone has already mentioned that the RHS can identify plants. Members only, so you'd have to join, but you wouldn't be wasting your money. They'd need a physical sample, or very good photos.
Have you exhausted all the free avenues of enquiry - for example, by carefully examining the leaves and shoots, and comparing them with the leaves and shoots of suspect trees.
Have not read any David Icke, though am aware of his history. He was a reporter on a local Coventry newspaper a long time ago, then went to the BBC, and subsequently became infamous - I wouldn't take any of his ideas seriously. If he's offering to tell you a secret, then it's not a secret, is it.
Morning all. I'm walking around today as car has gone to Dr Geoff for MOT and all that entails. Though there'll no doubt be lots of sitting for Lympic catch-up.
Jenny, I took early retirement from teaching. No children. Lots of rescue animals and a partner live with me. My poor garden, which I thought would get endless tlc once I finished work, is as wild and woolly as ever - apart from the half where the chickens free-range which is a sea of mud or a dust desert depending on the current weather.
Thank you Gary - Yes I've taken a few leaves from both and spent a lot of time on the internet last night but to be honest it's baffling me. I shan't bother with tree surgeon - it was just a desperate idea but I am not giving up.
As for David Icke - I shall be returning the book. Had another look at it today and there was a chapter about the House of Windor . Aliens/ reptiles/ - I don't think so ! Not my cup of tea at all.
Forgot to mention - there was one interesting bit in the preface about the U.S. presidents. He claims that out of the 40 odd that have been in office , 33 of them have been genetically related to 2 monarchs - one English and one French. Thought that was bizarre if its true. However, like you say I don't think he is to be taken seriously but may have to investigate that bit.

A new day
The the sun is shining-
playing around first thing whilst it is dry

Enjoy the sport today.

Lovely sunny day here
Gary I also watched that beach volley ball match and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, great atmosphere and easy to follow.
Jean I would stay away from David Icke, I think some of his ideas are quite nasty.
