Morning all.. Venturing out soon to a big Asda to try and get my low carb bread.. Not managed to get any for the lockdown period so planning a forage to the one place i last bought it... Have a good day folks...
Morning all. A lovely bright morning with not a cloud to be seen. Someone started strimming some grass around 7.30 am that you could hear and also smell when you went outside. Quite where or who it was is unknown as sound travels around the buildings in a strange way. Sometimes it seems to come from the opposite direction to what you think. We brought a rose back from England last year to replace one that didn't make it through the drought. A lovely yellow one with a delicious scent. Having found the replacement we thought it expensive, but forked out to have it in the garden again. Not happy now as it clearly is not what it said it was on the label. This one is pink, with little scent. Should have spent €3 and got one from the supermarket here. Have a good day whatever you are doing.
This month of May in SE England must be the warmest and driest for a long time. Still no sign of rain for the next week or so. Watering the garden through a metered source will no doubt be expensive. I'm drilling for my own water supply next week, I should have done it much earlier in the year.
Morning all. A lovely warm morning here with a gentle breeze. The gardener who maintains the largest house gardens returned yesterday to try and find the lawns. The Parisian owners have not been around to do anything, and the grass was 60 cm high. The English couple from Ludlow have not been able to get here either, but their Dutch neighbour has kept their large lawn under control. The morning of rain we had recently has brought the moles and voles back, so now as I walk along the green lane it is a case of having to look where you are putting your feet. Having ruptured an Achilles tendon once I don't fancy another six weeks in plaster. Have an enjoyable day whatever you will be doing.
Be thankful that medical knowledge has improved over the years - I ruptured mine in 1985 and spent three months in plaster, followed by weeks of physio. I remember getting up early one morning during the physio period and watching the whole Scotland vs Australia World Cup qualifier whilst jogging on a rebounder in my living room...
Oh Dave, this was something I was hoping against hope we would not read for a long time yet. I realised how much you were suffering, but just didn't want to accept that the health system could not do more to help. You have been so faithful to the members of this forum, and have delighted in the success of the Hornets in the way that I hope we have been so happy to see the Canaries back in the EPL. No Watford game and I always looked to see if Norwich were playing, and I loved watching the style of your team. I have been a supporter of the hospice system and am pleased to know that you will be well looked after. My thoughts have been with you daily for a very long time, and that will continue, so I hope that you will feel the strength and love coming through to you, a special person to me.
So sorry to hear this Dave and can only reiterate ofh's words - as, I'm sure, will everyone else. Strange thing for me to say, being an atheist - but God bless you too.
My thoughts are with you and your family, Dave. I'm struggling to find anything of comfort to say but I know this: you will missed by many and that's quite the measure.
