    lush verdant sward here. Pygmy tribes are moving in as we speak.

    ( can we use the word " pygmy" these days? )

    Interesting musings on that issue here http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2012/08/05/is-it-appropriate-to-use-the-term-pygmy-when-speaking-of-pygmies /

  • Morning all.

    Think you can still call them Pygmies, Hosta - Wiki says that pigmies are human tribes where adult males are on average less than 150cm tall.  2 things:  1) that's my height image - and 2), your lawn is even longer than I imagined...

    Hope you feel better soon, Wonky.  Find something good to watch on telly and drink a lot.  (It's what I'm doing too - UTI in my case...)

    Good luck with the guitar, Chicky!  It's supposed to be really good to learn an instrument as a "mature adult" (though you're not nearly as mature as some of us on here!).  I have a friend who started learning the French horn in her early 60s, and has just passed Grade 6.  She lives in a terraced house though, so has to negotiate rehearsal times with her neighbours...

    Pat, hope your tablet-halving has the desired effect.  But I agree with others - a second opinion could be the way to go.

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
  • Oops.  Sorry Chicky, just re-read the above and calling you "not as mature as some on here" might be open to misinterpretation...  image  ...meant age, of course...

    Hello all.

    We had a huge storm and a tree fell on my phone line, so I don't have phone or Internet at the moment. Just catching up on emails at a friend's house. Don't know when it will be repaired, don't suppose we are the only ones. I didn't have a mobile either because I lost it at Stanstead, but when the tree was cut up by local farmers I was able to go out and buy a new phone.

    So I won't be posting until it's repaired.

    Stormy bits on their way with the wind getting excited now.   The leccy supply people have just finished replacing the 3 phase cable between us and the village with something twice as thick so I hope it will withstand storms better than the last one which would cut out at the first flash of lightning or strong wind whipping branches about so much they'd short the cable.

    Hope you're not offline too long Busy.

    Wonky - not nice.  Hope the bug works its way through quickly.  I agree about Mull FG.  It's a dirge!

    LesleyK - those pygmies are just gorgeous.
