    Changing the subject warning-

    I have had polling cards for the election of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire-now I have heard about this coming but have no idea who you vote for-I know I could investigate but what is it all about?

    Have I moved to the USA-am I electing a sheriff?

    Oh no-it is half term next weekimage -thanks for the warning Joimage

    I like clematis tooimage

    Will have coffe at lunch-time-will the Postman bring my laces?-watch this space

  • We have got our polling cards too. There is a website you can look at.

    Another government initiative to complicate matters now doubt.image

    Just been to look for polling cards, but as we are upside down decorating, can't find themimage

    Chris. I will have more to plant next year I hope.

    Would love a Jackmanii alba  for my white border fence, a dark red one, and a dark blue one large flowered, summer flowering to finish off the bower but don't know which ones, Probably come down to what I can get at a very low price.

    Really i don't want to got out there so miserable and damp.

    Know where our polling cards our! Really dont know if will vote, but always do in local/general elections.

    Geoff- not all the half-terms are the same, as I had forgotten. I check our local Education web site for list of dates. Daughter finds helpful with working around & knowing when will be quieter & quicker to get from work.

    Oh hurry up washer! Am already in garden clothes- they were actually clean this morning so I could do the baking first, but soon they wont be! J.

    Thanks MF-that is me confined to barracks next weekimage

    Have been investigating these elections-it is done on party lines so is really a way of giving the Govt a hammering-the constituencies are enormous and not many people are jumping up and down with glee-the best guide I can find at the moment is this one

    but I expect nearer the time things will become clearer ?image

    Oscar (dog) is great at squirrel chasing and we have to find ways of talking about them without saying word. Even in evening if word squirrel is said he goes frantic.

    I had no idea that the word sq***** had such an effect on dogs.

    In the US, dogs take squirrels very seriously. You may be able to spot Geoff and Cody in this pro video of the Squirrel Chasing World Championships:
