Georg, odd that you should have a bit of skeleton by your fungus of the day - when I was out fungus-shooting I found a chunk of backbone hanging in a tree next to the one I was photographing. May post later, have to do litter picking and letter delivering duties for village volunteers now. Or should that be the other way round?
Lobelia 'Queen Vic' I have just cut mine down, Managed to save some seeds and have given some to next door neighbour as he likes the plant. Will try to grow some as well.
Keep a very careful eye out in spring, once the stems have started to grow - slug and snail 'heaven'!
Geoff and bjay thanks will have a look later, I will try and save some seed too, the ones I grew from seed last year have not got big enough to flower but I am optimistic for next year.
Happy Hallowe'en Lovelies! Eggs and toast for breakfast??
jo, no I don't think it was worth all the hassle, especially as they are no where near what I'd call good enough to enter, but they are young, it was an experience for them. Who am I to knock them. They had a go and that's what mattered.
Banana time. Bjay, do rest/sit quite often really, but probably am on the go most of the time.
Spare room getting sorted v e r y slowly. Actually rather upsetting at times as lots of stuff from parents' house around.
Also just found 2 new shower curtains- so what you say? Having shower screen fitted at end of month. One shall def keep- cant find receipt to return anyway, expect been shreaded (that spelling looks wrong somehow) & daughter may like later IF she ever buys a house. T'other shall ask friend if she'd like, no idea when I got it.
Right, back upstairs, only brought the boxes of 'C' biscuits down to pop into sideboard. Previously they'd been dumped onto spare bed which I need for airing cupboard contents.....J.
Best of luck to your daughter and co, must have been a very long day for you all, but quite an experience, it's always good to encourage youngster, some get such a bad press these days, it's nice to hear of some that are having a go. Jess seemed to have a good time
Well the decorating spree has begun now that the plaster has dried out. OH is painting the ceiling, doing a lot of huffing and puffing, must go and make him some coffee, got to keep him at it. I just hate the mess. I will be giving him a hand tomorrow when we start the walls, oh what joy awaits. Remember the song "When Father painted the parlour" it's a bit like that here.
Have a good day, will be ready for the trick or treat brigade tonight, sweets at the ready

Jo - do you ever just sit down and rest??
Good morning I feel exhausted just reading everyone elses plans, I may do some washing today.
Geoff I am always impressed that someone can change their product from Easter only to multi events.
I have a Queen Vic lobelia, what do I do with it now the flowers have finished?
Kate-just cut the lobelia down to the ground there should be a rosette?-that is next years potential-and should get bigger or you can divide
Oh my giddy aunt
Morning all and each.
Have just had major reading/carch up session.

See y'all later.
I think you will find Flo that for a comparatively small fee postman deliver letters-or is this a new business enterprise?
Jean -you will probably see a lot more of your daughter than you think-there will be lots of decorating that will need doing
I can feel a moustache of the day theme emerging
