    Those were the days when all the family could watch a sitcom together.

    Definitely Garyimage

    Are you not a member, will you have to rub shoulders with the common people and do things that common people do.

    The hat is for hire, Geoff, and is good for keeping the rain off - though of course it won't rain.

    It was South Today. Have not recorded it - don't think anyone in the family will be that bothered ;- )  Tristan Pascoe was very nice.

    Flo-Is here still going-Tristan?-the forecast is looking good at 22C-am I the only one going to Wimbledon?-I was on a vox-pop on tv just before xmas years ago-it was quite exciting and squirmy as well.

    Kate-I don't mind mixing with the plebs occasionally-just as long as I am not expected to carry out a conversation

    I could be a ball-boyimage

    Tristan is indeed still going, and very good he is too, IMO.

    The hat will still be handy, even if it's sunny.

    I went to school in Wimbledon so we used to nip down to the tournament after school. I gleefully shredded my A level timetable and scattered it on court no. 1. Haven't been since, though. I would have loved to have been a ball girl but it was only boys in those far-off days.

    Am cream crackered! Havent actually done that much today, so expect it's yesterday's drug kicking in- joy!

    Have sown more beans & courgettes, to replace the 2 that were composted earlier- sob! The other 2 already have small courgettes on them! Both now have copper strip around them, as have the dahlias in the new bed. Havent put any around the front, also being chewed, dahlias as felt that the copper would 'walk' with the price of scrap these days. Sympathies KG, I know how you feel.

    Then I cleaned all the dirty pots! Have put the majority away in the large boxes I use, but somehow have more pots than room. I even threw out several damaged & unwanted ones. The wind was wild, so actually being in the greenhouse was quite scarey with the top panels flexing - they're only single polycarbonate sheets.

    We've put down soya bread crusts for the slugs & the latest tally is about 20. Lots of stamping on the majority & I disposed of 2 or 3 very large ones.

    OH made foccatia again- what diet?! Then daughter walked in with 'pudding'- a beetroot cake! I give up! J.

    Jo it is OK to sit back and eat cakeimage Do the soya crusts not attract vermin?

    Geoff I think you have much more chance of being a steward at Ascotimage

    Flo did you sneek in to Wimbledon?

    Spain have scoredimage

    We went to the Weald & Downland Museum today and they also are experiencing terrible probles with their bean and peas.  I don't feel so bad about it now.

    The five day forecast is looking good for Tuesday.  I don't watch tennis but may have to make an exception looking for Geoff wearing Flo's hat. image

    Kate, we used to hang about outside the ground in our school dresses and straw boaters looking as cute as we could manage. Nice people coming out would give us their tickets!

  • sotongeoffsotongeoff Posts: 9,802

    It pained again in the night but that might be it until mid-week..

    GK-their pain is your pain-a pain shared is a pain halved-that is all I knowimage

    I have a vision of Jo doing the dance of the seven snails whilst munching on soya bread-not sure if that is a good or bad thing-could we have a photo?

    How can Spain afford a football team?

    I got up at 4am today to come to the midsomer party at Flo's henge but it was raining so hard that I gave up trying to get my car out of the mud, I hope the bacon did not go to waste.

    I think the Spanish government and the Spanish FA have separate budgetsimage
