Hosta - you need a thorough going over. Hope it gets sorted.
Busy - I know what's involved in preparing for your party so congratulations and commiserations.
Dove - when did Wonky's dad last give birth?
Lesley - sounds exhausting but good that you can help your mum.
SGL - what are you knitting?
Pat E - we had a whole 3mm overnight but it's drizzling again now. All to the good for my new bed.
Planning to go out this pm and spread lots of compost on teh new bed and let it settle while I wait for hostas to get big enough to turf out of their pots. need to make sure I leave enough space for the big ones and, of course, the labels have disappeared so every one will be a surprise.
I loathe wind turbines - expensive, inefficient, noisy, bad for humans living nearby and seriously bad for migrating birds and local bats. Solar panels for me - buy European made of good quality and they are recyclable and work in low sun levels tho not when covered with snow. Better production than turbines and less obtrusive on the eye. Geo thermal and heat exchangers even better. The UK does go in for ugly pylons.

Harrumph! I will not be going to tennis - I will be waiting in for Green Flag to arrive ... despite having driven down to Riverside and back this morning, my car has now decided not to start .... press the button and not a peep out of it ..........

Lesley, I am very embassassed at my muddling of you and Lyn. The trouble is that I can't envisage where you alll live and what your lives entail, so I get mixed up. Sorry if I offended you. I hope your mother and you can cope with the extra strain of looking after your father.
I looked after my mother full time for the last few months of her life, so I understand how hard it is. I was exhausted when I got back to Canberra after she died. I even gave up the Honours year that I had started at Uni and reverted to a Pass Degree even though they were willing to give me an extension. Not that I've regretted it since. It was too much and I needed to look after myself and my family.
There you are Lesley? So sorry to hear your dads poorly I remember going up and down to both mum and dad I am one of three but at that time was the only one available to do all the hospital visits, assessment appointments etc to do Remembers er to take care of yourself, lots of wee treats to keep you going?

Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
Nicola Sturgeon, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell.
While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for.
The Devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.
Putin calls Russia and talks for 5 minutes.
When he was finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a cheque.
Next Donald Trump calls the U.S. and talks for 30 minutes.
When he's finished the devil informs him that the cost is 6 million dollars, so Trump writes him a cheque.
Finally Nicola Sturgeon gets her turn and calls Scotland for 4 hours. When she's finished, the devil informed her that there would be no charge and feel free to call Scotland anytime.
Putin and Trump go ballistic and ask the devil why Nicola Sturgeon got to call Scotland free.
The devil replied, "Since Nicola Sturgeon became First Minister of Scotland , the Country has gone to hell, so it's only a local call."
