    Wonky. One of the bonuses of the handy ignore button is that you don't see post started by those in it. So , maybe, thankfully I've been spared their vitriol.

    Hello.  I've had a lazy morning dozing in bed trying to shift the headache which has returned.  Thanks for the good wishes.

    Have to be on parade this pm as kitchen chief is coming round to make sure all is ready for his team tomorrow.   Good job I made an enormous pot of beef in red wine yesterday as I don't feel up to cooking much.    Might just have pasta anyway.

    We've had rain in the night but only 1/4" so no chance of flooding.   Just a bit muddy on the edges where OH is baptising his new toy.   Not to pleased I want an area big enough for hydrangeas and hostas and maybe one or two azaleas I was given when we left Belgium.    The grass he's digging up is mostly moss so i'm hoping that indicates the damp soil they'll like for withstanding summer heat and there is dappled shade from shrubs and the magpie tree on our boundary.

    Yvie - a pond will provide hours of endless fascination.   Go for it.

    Hello all!  image

    The ferry ran ok this morning - a bit up & down (sorry Obelixx!) but not too image making.  Lovely views of snow-covered Mull en route.   Now I'm on the train and have just caught up with what you lot have been up to... I must admit I haven't yet sown my sweet peas so I must get on with it once I get home.  The signal's about to disappear so I'll post this quick...

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Drinking plenty Dove.   Feeling better after some fresh air watering all the pots - 130 medium to large, all except 8 brought with us, plus 6 trays of small to medium pots of cuttings and babies.   

    Sun's out now so more fresh air this pm, spreading multi-purpose compost on the newly turned bed before the rains tomorrow.    Can't plant my hostas yet as I need them to get a bit bigger so I can see which is what so I don't swamp dainty ones with big 'uns.

    Liri - glad you've had a safe crossing.

    Thanks for telling me what GQT is , infact have started to listen to it , found it interest image

  • ObelixxObelixx Posts: 30,088

    My Radio 4 signal is very iffy here and I tend to forget to catch up on the PC but I'm always pleased when I do.  GQT is fun and informative.

    Taking it easy Dove.   More a case of directing than doing.

    You might be able to download the GQT podcast Obx. I'm not sure if there are restrictions if you're outside the UK - but it's not the same as iPlayer.

    Mine downloads automatically each week and I listen while ir*n*ng. They don't disappear like iPlayer downloads - I have a couple of years worth....image
