    Clothes have been flattened ... curry made and chuntering gently on the hob.  I'll add some spinach, cook a bit of rice and heat some naans as soon as OH arrives home in about half an hour image

    I need to change my car this year and the Renault Captur would suit my needs, but apparently they're already experiencing reliability issues with them, so that's off the list. Maybe I'll get and old Land Rover - that'll be fine bumping up and down on glen roads!

    Wonks - I missed answering  you about the tap fitting thingies. I had one in the house round the corner and it was a bit hopeless. Much easier to get an outside tap image

    As I suspected - those fat a**ed wood pigeons were guilty of breaking one of my narcissus earlier today. I looked out the window ten minutes ago and one was sitting in the raised bed, in amongst them, under the feeding cage, and the other one looked like a duck - head first into the big pot of daffs next to it. image

    I had to laugh though  image

    Hello all - on train returning home after the show.  image (Thanks GWRS, it was great - didn't get to spend time in Harrogate itself, but I agree, it's a lovely town.  I'll be here again on a few weeks to visit Harlow Carr.)

    Quite enough money spent, Fairy... will confess when I get home!  image

    We're about to go through a tunnel.  Bye for now! 

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