    I add about 1cm of squash to an empty 1l bottle and fill up with water, so not too strong at all. and I drink at least one of those a day ( if I'm at work ) and normally 2 if I'm at home.

    Surely that's enough? other wise I'd be, erm.... "going" all day longimage

    Hosta - you need to be "going" to flush any gravelly bits out.

    Morning all.

    It's going to be a wet day but the grass man is doing a couple of handyman jobs for me in the basement and moving the tete-a-tete pots to the back of the house and replacing them with the tulip pots.

    The grass is going to be a few inches high by next Friday so it better be dry by then.

    2 litres Hosta and yes, going all day is the way to go with wee stones to shift!

    Pat - hope you're ok. Keys eh? Only happened to me once when I nipped into a shop  and the girls stayed in the car. Turned round and they'd decided to join me...having locked the car doors with the key in the ignition. My fault completely  image

    I drink about 3 mugs of tea at work plus one at lunchtime when I come home. That's about 350mls or between half and three quarters of a pint each time. I expect I'm quite a bit smaller than you  - so maybe you do need a bit more Hosta. It has to be 'flushed' through  as the others say.

    Yes - we're ganging up on you! 

    It's my dongle, Wonks. No tittering....

    Ruddy connection is iffy, and if I touch it the wrong way,  it cuts off. 

    I said - no tittering....

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Yes we are.  Maybe check diet for contributory factors?

    Made it to Oxford - sadly, a business park on the ring road, so no romantic stone buildings in  sight.

    Glad Russian littley is out of intensive, hope he continues to improve today.

    Ouch Hosta - hope they get to the root cause soon

    Mr C has just emailed - 8 tonnes of black gold just delivered on our driveway - that'll keep me busy for a few weekends ?

    Detour on the way home Chicky?  Or will you be in a rush to get home to your wheelbarrow?

    Hope I can find a source of that stuff round here for the new fruit and veg patch now that chappy has smoothed out the chunks and dips.

    Right, 3rd coffee drunk.  First wash load ready to hang up.  I'm off to get some jobs done.

    Fairy, you do have a way of painting a picture! imageimage

    Sorry to hear about the earache Pat,  and what a bother with the keys, think my bad day may be catching!

    Hosta, its not worth the fight, do as you're told! image

    Morning Joyce, its not that I really have room for a greenhouse, I just need one so I'm making room! The lawn is decreasing rapidly! Mind you I was always rubbish with lawns so I've ripped it up, levelled it and reseeded.....just beginning to green up now! image hope your lawns don't make you feel too overgrown, its a nightmare when it rains on my gardening job days! Not only is it horrid, but you get a backlog if jobs to do. Lovely to have some nice bulbs potted up though.

    Happy Friday Chicky, looks like your weekend has just been dumped in your drive! Fingers crossed for good weather and volunteers!

    Hope your feeling less sore today Obelixx, have a lovely 3 weeks family time with Possum.
