    Went out to give the top mm a snip off the top of the grass before the rain comes. Doesn't really need cut but who knows when it'll be dry enough again. Two minutes'll do it!

    Top tip. Check the blade height on your mower BEFORE doing a mile long strip down the middle of your lawn. I'll be cutting the grass if anyone's looking for me.  image muppet!

    Oh Vyie, your poor Mumimage.  That must be so painful for her.  Very negligent of the staff.

    LilyP I hope you're not feeling too sore after your fall.  Picking bits of stone and grit out of your palms and knees is pretty sore.

    Fairy I was tempted with that wallpaper for our bedroom but eventually settled on trees.

    Rb I'm with you on peppers, especially the green onesimage.  I find parsnips a bit sweet but do eat them occasionally.  I'm sure your son wishes the court case was over.  Horrible to have that hanging over your head for so long.

    Lizzie I hope the rain misses you for your strawberry tea and that DD's open day is a great successimage

    OH has just gone to collect the car which needed a new exhaust and I should be getting back into the garden.

    Have been gardening ever since my last post, but we are going out to tea soon so have come in to clean up. Friend we are seeing loves old roses and collects them.

    Your poor Mum Yvie, that shouldn't happen in an old people's home.

    Hope you feel better soon Obelixx.

    I like parsnips in moderation and I love sweet peppers, especially red and orange ones. So versatile in Chinese and Thai cooking, which I love.

    Had a read through, and surprised you did not know where P P came from, to be sure did ye not catch the accent. They wrote a song about "J" played it for years.

    her eye's they shone like diamonds

    You'd think her the Queen of the land

    And her hair hung over her shoulder

    Tied up with a black velvet band.

    I had a spell with the Enniskillen Fusiliers, great singers all, and mad nights, it is a wonder we did not all end up in "Van Deimens Land" not to be forgotten, or even at times remembered.

    .........and then spit them out. image There is no good way to eat a parsnip. Divil's food!

    Same goes for peppers and cucumbers. Whatever you add them to the only thing you can taste is peppers or cucumber.
