    The baloon has started to go up.

  • Geoff! Do not not non pleb surf n turf! it is the only way I gain brownies!

    Otherwise I have to venture to outside commodities! Which if the girls get a wind of! Cost's me a fortune!!! 

  • Hello Inka,

    I didn't realise you were short of water. Must be such a relief that it has rained.

    Thanks for balloon alerts. I'd forgotten.

    Red Bull came 1st and 2nd in Korean Grand Prix - they're on a roll.

  • Evening, or is it still afternoon, been for a walk in the park and a visit to the garden cente. oH bought me a large viburnum, but we had to leave all the bees behind. I would have bought a smaller one, but he offered to buy it. Also got a lovely hebe with big purple flowers to replace the one I lost.



    Geoff, could sell your apples at a car boot sale or to a local farm shop? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

    Hi  F.Fs

    Forgot about the skydive man and turned news on just in time to see him start the ascent. Good luck to him.

    Pam, aren't sky divers supposed to go down?

    Glyn, careless to lose that hebe! Did it have a collar and a name tag on?

    Geoff, an apple just bounced off my head as I was clearing up in the garden - you're not hurling them into neighbouring counties are you?

    Inka, I can imagine how glorious that bubble bath must feel.

    Dean, can I get you to have a word with my OH? PJ day sounds a triffic idea.

    Yes, Pottiepam, it hasn't rained for over 3 months--my water supply is collected from my various roofs, so each drop used has been carefully carried out to the garden.I do have a dug well that collects surface water for the garden, but it's been dry since July.

    Amazing how the garden has perked up in the last 2 days!

    FloBear, the bubble bath was bliss! I had candles and wine with it!

  • Flo, you're right but he's got to go up before he can come down. image

    Still can't decide if he's mad or very brave.

    Back home now, enjoyed our day but it's sooooooo cold here. Just spotted the squirrel raiding the fat balls so will have to refill them image Missed a lot of posts, apples , apple cake, skydiving , and Inka's rain.

    My friends cobaea has 12 flowers on it - one of the plants I gave her . Unbelievable !! I haven't had one. Maybe I should just grow them for other people image

    Downton tonight ! Just reading my new Suttons catalogue - some lovely new plants for next year in it but don't think  I'll bother with any tropicals next year , I'll make do with my banana plant. image  I had a closer look at that before and have discovered another baby plant that's growing along side it . I may have 2 next year image

    There's a proper name for a baby banana. It's called a 'pup':
