Bore da pawb. Breezy here today with coastal fog now rolling in.

I’ve two tasks today, one to get the slow puncture in the car tyre fixed and the other is to prepare a stone wall for repair.

We have cleared an area of gorse and grass and have an idea to plant meadow flowers. Being so close to the sea I’m unsure what to plant. Flowers, shrubs? Not grass, fed up of mowing grass.

Any ideas from the gardeners amongst us?

A wild flower mix with plenty of Yellow Rattle in it?

I've been shopping by trike :smile: went to Argos to get a new Dremel, out of stock, but can pick it up on Wedesday, the one I bought off ebay the seller was a con artist (I would use stronger) and never sent it so I had to wait 17 days to get a refund.:angry:
I've not been shopping on my trike for a long time and it showed.......I left the computer on the trike :ohmy: good job it was still there when I got back.
I have my first delivery from Sainsburys this afternoon between 14:00 15:00 I just hope it is all there.

Do you have Lithuanian or Ukrain heritage ?
Eating Carp is illegal in the UK.....which doesn't seem to bother our foreign friends :rolleyes:
English back to 15th century in Worcestershire. Don't think they emigrated from anywhere.
The Poles traditionally eat Carp for Christmas dinner.
We've had a nice walk along the Severn Way this morning, picked up fish and chips from the Berkeley Fryer and are now working our way through the beer supplies.:okay:

... empty dishwasher, put coffee / coffee filter in machine switch on and head off for ablutions. Come back to pour coffee only to find out I’d missed the “ fill reservoir in coffee machine with water “
It could have been worse - you could have put the coffee in the dishwasher.

I was making a salad one evening, when I got distracted. I put the scraps in the salad and the neatly chopped salad vegetables in the recycling bin! :laugh:
This mornings ear worm, its been running round my head since I woke up.


Ah, now you have triggered a similar feeling in me. Where have I heard that recently...?

Oh, God, I remember - disturbingly sexualised build-up to breastfeeding! :eek:



:whistle:

My late sister in law maxed out several credit cards before she died 2 years ago.
All well and good........until the bank called her husband - who knew nothing about them.
She left him with £36000 of debt. :eek:
Must have been a loving and trustful relationship.:sad:

My dad did something similar a year before he died, ended up £42000 of debt . Luckily all the cards were only in my dads name . Had to get him made bankrupt. The big credit card companies were fine to deal . Some of the other were not. Still sending letters to my mum saying she was responsible for the debt ( which she never was at any time) after the bankruptcy. One was still sending this type of letter even after I had informed them my dad was dead 😒
