Morning, all----woke to more rain; yesterday in the garden seems like a fond memory now.
Reading your posts makes me so grateful for my reasonably good health. I need to drop several pounds, though--am on the strictest phase of my regimen for the next couple of weeks--so far, so good. I have done it before,so I know it works.
I wanted to move some Shasta daisies into the deer garden, along with some volunteer foxgloves, but it looks like it won't happen today. But the monkshood is planted, along with several colchicum bulbs that had finished flowering. All the narcissi I planted in pots are showing; and the hellebores are out of their pots and in the ground. Drawing class tonight.
Has that film got a "U" certificate Becks-we have a certain area the other side of town-it has speed bumps so the police can catch speeding drivers-or so I have been told
Too early for decs yet and advent calendars-but the Christmas adverts on tv are in full swing
That is why the speed bumps are -I think-to catch the kerb crawlers so they can't get away
A christmas joke-I have nicked~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Santa's Bad Day
One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for is annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More stress.
Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.
When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door. He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great Christmas tree.
The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?"
Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
If found same pate in the fridge yesteday-have started dipping my finger in it
Still got 3 watchers on the book
And there's more~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tragedy begets comedy
Three men die in a car accident Christmas Eve. They all find themselves at the pearly gates waiting to enter Heaven. On entering they must present something "Christmassy".
The first man searches his pocket, and finds some Mistletoe, so he is allowed in.
The second man presents a cracker, so he is also allowed in.
The third man pulls out a pair of panties.
Confused at this last gesture, St. Peter asks, "How do these represent Christmas?"
Was very frosty n bitterly cold here at half three this morning! n I hate the dreaded job of scraping off the car! n hasn't really got much warmer through the day either! But it is that time of year unfortunately!
To all with ailments! Hope you all perk shortly n speedily!
Morning Inka! See you made the most of yesterday then! Tis that time of year you have to make the most of what mother nature throw's our way!

That one is awful!!
Will you just keep relisting it if you don't sell it, or alter the price, or not bother?

But must agree with Beck's on the second one! The old one's are the best!
