Hot soak in the bath would be ideal for you ??....
OH has suggested a massage ... so that when I wake up tomorrow I don't spend the first hour saying 'ooooh .... ahhhhhh .... ooomph ..... ' Romantic soul isn't he?
Good hot shower for me most days but, after a long, cold and dirty day in the garden it has to be a bath with bubbles and a glass of fizz too.
Have only had an afternoon out there today and - fanfares and rum rolls - I have planted my first treasures in a proper bed - hydrangea "Prim White, eunonymus Silver Queen, creamy variegated ivies, wild garlic, lily of the valley, violets, a pieris and one whole hosta but split into 4 chunks so 2 in the ground and 2 in pots for later on. More hostas, some acers and some azaleas tomorrow.
Feeling stiff so a hot shower is called for to ease those bruised ribs.
Hope you get the mower sorted H. We ended up taking the collectors off our first one as the grass was always so lush and juicy it clogged the tubes. This model doesn't collect at all so OH has to rake it up and dump it all in the bins. He may well want one with a collector next time.
Glad you're feeling better about your garden this year Dove.
Good to see you PDoc.

Been a long day on the gardening round in Felixstowe and Woodbridge, lovely weather for it but very tired, glad I made a moussaka the size of a doormat the other day! only just got in from watering the lawn seed in my own garden. GREENHOUSE HAS BEEN DELIVERED!!! fantastic birthday presents what wonderful parents I have eh Dove!?!
Welcome back Clari!! What a lot of progress you have made!!!! Lovely to have you back though!
Welcome back Pdoc!!! I have to say...I was deeply offended about your people getting offended comment! sounds like you have had a lovely day!
Dove I've seen pictures, you have been busy!
Well done Obelixx on getting some plants in! Making it your garden now!
Lilyp glad the passport has arrived and mother and baby are reunited, hope you get to see them soon.
BusyL, sorry your having trouble with posting, please don't let it drive you away! I'm sure Nora will want to help.
Fairy, such a shame about your walk at the weekend! Think you will only make that mistake ounce though!
Hosta, think we need to bop you on the head before bedtime to get you unconscious!
Amberspy, glad you are getting well looked after, hope you continue to improve...if it were me I'd cancel bowling and garden....no one would tell on you here is you suddenly had a relapse!
Hi Topbird, I'm exactly the same, I hate having something to do later, rather get it all out the way then have my time!
Hello Liri, love train rides! Hope you found your Mum well and had a nice day
Joyce, your weather sounds a world away from ours today, its been long sleeved t shirt weather here, hope the wind dies down for you!
Evening all, a busy day looking after Mabel and tomorrow evening I'm off for 3 days of Jonah duty. Come Sunday I'm off to sunny cornwall for a few days to build sandcastles with Merri and Mabel Not much time for gardening for a week or so as tomorrow will probably be spent sorting out laundry etc.
I should be able to walk much further on holiday this year as the arthritis has improved so much since losing weight, I'm up to 3.5 stones now and thinking of slowing down (don't want to get a scraggy neck).
Wow Yvie! That's fantastic weight loss! Congratulations! I'm sure sandcastle building counts as exercise and ice cream is compulsory! Hope you have a lovely time!

Ohhh I wouldn't say no to one of those ???
baths for us every time. Showers are perfectly functional but not , to my mind, relaxing.

" Been busy indoors so far but will be out there playing with my new hosta bed."
Do tell Obs.
See previous post H. Once I get the rest of the shrubs in I can do the rest of the hostas.
Try a handful of Epsom's salts in the bath, truly helps

Yvie - that's brilliant! well done!
As Wonky will confirm, I once lost a great deal of weight so I know what it takes ...
I have put some of it back ... as you say, scraggy necks are not a good look, and I prefer my cushions plumped up, not saggy
