    I thought it was funny. We play Monolopy in our house. image

    And Mother-in-Law always referred to her "Thysiopherapist" image

    Is that the same as a physioterrorist? image We have an artillery room too!

    Sometimes malapropisms are more apposite than the original!  Certainly funnier image

     Quite agree, SV. I'm afraid I took your suppository too literally!

    Update on my green house shadeing..

    The fleexe I purchased out of the Pound store that I draped over the inside roof and sides has begun to Biodegrade!!!! Its disintigrating due to the heat and the damp atmosphere from watering and condensation..  Buy the better quality one from a farden centre... Or drape a single white polycotton bed sheet  in the same way...  But ask before swiping it out of the cupboard..

    I clean my windows with a microfibre cloth.   Sometimes with just water sometimes water and a bit of washing up liquid.   Easy.

    Oh, dear BLT - and it had seemed to be such a bargain!  (The old adage "buy cheap, buy twice" seems to hold true , unfortunately.

    I did think of a thin bedsheet (the sort that had worn very thin - and your mum would sides-to-middle to extend the life - except the central seam was jolly uncomfortable!) but perhaps even better than that would be some old plain-ish) net curtaining. 

    My shading is still doing sterling work - but not much to shade today:  warm and dry but grey, grey, grey!

    Well I thought it only fair to update people..  I recall my mum doing that with old bed sheets cos used to catch my foot in them and deliciously rip them with my feet.. (Must have happened inmy sleep) lol...
