    Hello all.

    I can only put my palms on the floor if I bend my knees image and I'm 5'3" too.

    Had a good weekend with DIL, SIL and their 2 little ones. Meant to go to Bressingham and go on the steam train, but it rained all day Saturday so we went to Norwich Castle instead. Lots to see and do for children and adults. Lunched in local pub today and now they've gone back to Eastbourne.

    The garden table arrived from B&Q but it was badly damaged and they will have to swap it. Someone must have dropped it from a great height.

    Going out to finish planting the front bed.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    My mouth still hurts image Surely the aches should have stopped by now????

    Don't think I'll be trying KEF's challenge, I might be good at hitting the floor, but it's never done deliberately in a controlled fashion image image I can tough my nose with my tongue.... does that count for anything? image

    Hello folks image

    I can still do the hands flat on the floor thing - GP was flabbergasted when I could do it a couple of years ago - just did it again image

    I was going to try the crossed leg sitting down standing up thing but I stood there with my legs crossed and OH looked at me severely and said 'Don't!' image  You'll do something to your bad knee and we'll spend hours in A&E ... so Please Miss, I'm excused image

    Hosta's OH had better write him a note too.

    OH has just given me a glass of Gardener's Rest brewed by the Staffordshire Brewery.  Not as good as Adnams, but a pleasant beer all the same.

    I apologise in advance, but touching noses with tongues, and getting feet to touch ears, is just too much for my imagination.

    SORRY.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Quick pop in to say Good Evening and to wish Hosta well for tomorrow. Hope everything goes to plan image

    The rest of you are putting disturbing images in my mind of contorted positions image Reminds me of when I first got to peek at a naughty book and was trying to work out  whose feet were whose and where and how on earth they kept their balance imageimage

    Spent about 3 hours digging out two 5' long mature tree roots this afternoon. I ache now and need to sit in front of the fire with a nice glass of wine. Veggie risotto to make first - SYL.

    PS Sorry to hear your mouth still hurts Panda. I'm sure it will get better soon but maybe a quick phone call to the dentist on Wednesday if it's still hurting then - just to check it's to be expected?

    We've had lamb tonight too - lovely local lamb chops, crushed baby potatoes and chopped red onion sprinkled with olive oil and crisped in the oven with some fresh thyme, and a big helping of purple sprouting broccoli from the garden.  image
