Afternoon everyone, I'm afraid I've been AWOL from forkers and just popping in to Kef's Valentine meal thread as fantasy has been preferable to reality lately.
I've just attempted to catch up....sounds like a lovely day in London BusyL, you have been busy with the move so nice to have a treat out, the brasserie sounds lovely, Dove had some great pics, glad you enjoyed it
Sorry your still feeling rough Pdoc, hope your soon on the mend
I'm trying to remember what else I read, riders lovely honeymoon, snowdrops in the green.... a hill walk, Mrs garden in Japan, love to see those cherry blossoms!.... Soundproofing............malfunction!!!!!! Can't recall anymore
On the subject of sound proofing.....
The latest update on my over occupied Romanian neighbours......
It turns out that after two and a half months, we haven't actually MET our neighbours yet, as the landlord just turned up unannounced and caught all NINE of them in a two bedroom flat!!!! he was not impressed to say the least and I believe despite the no English they claim to speak, that the message was delivered loud and clear and that they understand it.
The landlord had to check their ID and see which ones name was on the contract.....none of them it turns out! So the three people that are supposed to live there haven't been and are in Romania!
If the correct people are not in by Tuesday and the wrong ones have not left, the locks will be changed! we could possibly move out of the basement soon!
I'm actually still in shock and laughing at the incredulity of the situation... Thought you could all join me for a slightly unhinged giggle!
Have a great day all, our landlord suggested we have a party tonight!
Speak for yourself Hazel - I'm completely hinged. It's just that my hinges are a bit rusty....
Brilliant Wonks. It doesn't do their cause any good does it? That sort of nonsense seems to happen a lot. I'd raise a glass to your future peace and quiet - if I drank!. Will a cuppa do? Cue rusty/unhinged giggling....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hazel, Runny, Fairy, of course we are all unhinged on here...I wouldn't want it a any other way! I'll toast with tea too now Fairy, pint of Darjeeling coming up
Runny I really feel for the landlord cuz he has to catch them and they usually ship the extras out when he's coming. He always believed us but was unable to prove anything. He's a lovely chap and he's been our landlord for sixteen years, so couldn't let them win, not after spending thousands on renovating the basement. don't want to be political but I know which way I'm voting come the EU referendum, it will all be like my street otherwise.
Hazel, think I'm going to take my landlords advice and have a punk music party! sorry if the party is noisy folks but your all invited and its my turn to be a noise polluter!
Good for you Wonks. I like to think I'm a reasonably rational, considered person who gives others the benefit of the doubt, but it sometimes just feels people are taking the p*** ....
I'm raising my mug right now...

Aww Wonky. You shouldn't have had to put up with this situation for soooooo long. I hope the landlord inspected the place while he was there (especially the bathroom). The people who prey on others to line their own pockets without any regard to their wellbeing are the ones to target. (As if). However things should improve soon and your garden is looking great - much further ahead than ours.
It's been snowing on and off all day but not really settling. Rb you wouldn't get your washing dry outside here. The tumble dryer is on for the third time - dog towels this time.
Hey Mrs G. That sounds like a fantastic holiday. Look forward to hearing and seeing more about it.

Wonky, I'm so pleased to hear your news. Hope it works out for you and hubby.
Thanks Pat
Cheers Fairy! 
You lot have been some of the only sanity and normality I've had these past months and that's saying something!
On a brighter note.....my garden is beginning to believe that spring could be possible!
Its not much....but it gives cause to hope
Yay! look at those snowdrops Wonky!
As you can imagine folks, Wonky and I have had quite a phone conversation this morning!!!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
