    War of the Worlds (1950s film version) was on a couple of nights ago, on one of the terrestrial channels; I watched it.

    And they were talking about similar things on Stargazing Live last week. Only a few decades ago people really believed that there were intelligent beings on Mars.

    You could have seen Diarmuid Gavin, clothesless, on Splash, on Saturday night. (Didn't see it myself). Shame Rachel de Tame wasn't asked. (Or maybe she was, and declined).

    Well apparently it is the 13th Annual No Pants Day today (think pants refers to trousers in this instance) .image

    We used to take giggling teenagers around Leclerc going 'It is I Leclerc' Daughter used to like it as it meant her school bag for new term was different as it was 'french'.

    Anyway, question - can't find the thread but most of you were writing on the one I'm looking for so:

    My Christmas tree is now outside still in pot of no3 compost. i have stood it in a water tray which is now full. Should I let it drain naturally or keep it in the tray? so that it is ready for a season whne we have little rain.. How wet should it be. i did see they like lenty of water in summer.

    I's back! Absolutely knackered. Up & down TC with daughter. Energy began to go so I rebelled outside JLewis & just sat & watched everybody else whilst she was 'rooting' or whatever inside.

    Becks I did reply to you this morning, but net went down just as I posted so off into the ether it went! image Am glad Jess getting into the hang of this early to bed/get up lark, even if harder on you perhaps? Trying to do it when she's not used to it & lighter evenings would be murder I think.

    It's now persisting down out there & really dark.I was planning to walk down to hbospital tomorrow, but if too icy after this may not be sensible. Hmm, decision to be made, but not now.

    Jean, what's this with no heating on & sun earlier? Ok you are nearer the coast than me I suppose. Our heating is on very low, ie doesnt want to come on much, but will go back to normal soon. BTW boiler went whistling again this morning, stopped it, then when it started again just growled at it! Bingo!

    Right, coffee break over. Am off to dust our bedroom whilst can be noisy upstairs & have some energy, then hoover down here but madam will have to move herself out of the way. J.

    Bkay -let it drain-no plant like constant wet feet

    Christmas tree in pot - you don't want it waterlogged. There must a hole in the bottom of the pot to allow drainage. I tend to ignore mine, and just give it a drink occasionaly, when I think of it. It does need more regular attention in spells of hot weather.
