    Hi all.

    Today I am apoplectic with rage, up to 100 dead, countless more injured.

    Putin blames the rebels, Trump blames Obama and everyone sits on their hands doing nothing.

    I have witnessed the results of chemical weapons first hand in Iraq and it is something no one should have to witness.

    Anyway I am going into the garden and am going to take out my anger on some overgrown shrubs.

    Morning all.

    Know how you feel punkdoc. Those pictures of children being hosed with water to try to wash off the chemicals were horrific. How can people do that sort of thing to each other?

    But, on a happier note, your magnolia is magnificent, Chicky. Mine is over now, Leonard Messel.

    Typed post on Word then copied and pasted, so much easier but the typeface was different. Trying another.

    I've done that too when connections have been poor Busy and also when email was having hissy fits.  Glad it works for you.  Internet very slow here today too.

    We have a small magnolia which looked quite dead in August and very dead in October.  It is covered in lichen which adds to the stressed tree theory so I watered and weeded and fed and this week one branch has produced a show of flowers but there are leaves bursting over the rest.  Worth persevering as the flowers are gorgeous.

    Good morning 

    I know it is wrong but I had to turn off. It just appals me that in this day and age there are more wars in the world than in any other time. So much for a civilised world.

    trying to be brighter those magnolias are magnificent. ours is much later and so usually misses frosts.

    sadly  it is dull and overcast, but like my mood? Just problem after problem after problem just now ?

    Please have a nice day,
