    Ah there you are!

    Dove, hope you feeling better today, are you taking orders for winter woolies

    hello Mary 370, I get a lot of plants online, no problems

    WW how are your hands, Pat any warmer today? Punk our buddlea regularly attacks our dish.

    been to Optician, vision back to normal and damage is repairing   They suggested I wear goggles from now on.  An Optician about to sit exams is using me as a case study as she never knew the danger of plants, they have all told me to wear goggles in the garden?

    happy June to all still to come

    Glad you're improving LilyP image

    Can some more people have a look at Mary's ID thread ... it looks to me as if she's bought a load of topsoil full of Coltsfoot rhizomes  image

    Have to keep coming in from GH construction duties to cool off - it's 25C in the shade out there!  More tea please vicar. image  I'll start a 'Building a greenhouse' thread for Dove and anyone else who wants to see progress piccies.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Lily P - good news and yes, goggles near nasties like euphorbias if you insist on growing them.

    I've come in for a drink - 32.7C out there now but still a nice breeze.   Much warmer than forecast.

    Freezing, rotten day here. The wind from the ski fields was brisk. I've been inside all day colouring in and watching you tube colouring demos except for a very brief visit to the GH to see if everything is still alive. 

    Lilyp, on glad your eye is improving. I must admit I don't grow any euphorbia plants nowadays for the same reason. I always used to get the milk sap on my wrist or hands and end up having to put something soothing on until better. 

    Dove, I assume you are adjusting to the boot by now. I've still got one up on top of the cupboard in case I ever need one again.  I broke the 5th metatarsal some years ago. Very annoying. 

    Hope everyone else is ok in the heat. I'm going to sleep now.

    Hi all, had my leg cast off today, it's healed but got to be careful how much i bend it. So got a brace that's​adjustable, start off 30deg for 2 weeks and go back to physio to adjust it. She put it on and told me to stand up, I nearly fell back, my muscles wasn't strong enough. Got some exercises to do.

    Glad you've got the cast off. I hope the brace isn't too uncomfortable. Thanks for your kind messages ((hugs))

    It's my first day on my own as OH has gone to work ... He left me sandwiches and strawberries for my lunch. I ordered some more wide legged linen trousers that I can get on over the boot and they arrived today ... I was able to get to the door   ... Quite chuffed image
