I managed to get the lawn cut before it started raining which I am very pleased with. Everything is growing so fast with warmth and wetness!
We have had rain, but nothing bad so far
Yip, I think you could be right about that. You have to slow roast them so that they fall apart when done.I heard the tyres were rubbery as well
And I presume there is going to be lots of physio invovled to get you back to where you need to be?
Sjoe, but you must be really tired by now.
Holding thumbs for you.
Good luck with the Dandy hunting, I hear you have to be really quiet and sneak up on them if you want to hunt them, otherwise they just disappear.
I think I might just get some for my garden, as it looks like an awesome plant for the adult torts to hide in.
That is good news.
Good Mornooning Everyone,
I hope everyone is having a good Thursday. (So glad it is Thursday, as that means tomorrow is Friday and then Weekend!!!) It is cold, and very windy. The windows in my office however does tend to make the wind sound far worse. But we are expecting rain today, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. So I may not be able to work in the garden come saturday. Oh well we will see. Can't complain when it rains. So won't. LOL.
I need to visit my "Field" again for some more plants as I have depleted the ones I got the other day. So will need to get more so those can recover and regrow some more yummy leaves. I have the osteopath again tonight. So going to be following Linda's advise re the ibuprofen again a little later. I also think that winter is making my syptoms worse. It is too cold. for me anyway. It is on average now about 11c to 14c in the mornings (ye I know a spring day for lots of you) but for us that is cold and we haven't actually gotten to winter yet. At least we are getting more rain. I heard that the rain has helped the dams but only about 2.5% so we are not out of the woods yet regarding water shortages, as we have to carry on with the restrictions so that the dams can get a chance to hopefully recover enough so that we don't struggle too much come summer again.

I am hoping that our weather makes a turn south and heads for you. I don't think there's any danger of a hosepipe ban here this summer!
Good luck with the osteopath! Hopefully it will help you in the longer run
Hi LenaHope you hunt down lots of dandies, Lyn...
I've been stalking through the long grass with my safari suit and hat on and came across an abundance of dandies and plantains.
Didn't find any lions or lost tribes - and they didn't find me.
(I did find about a dozen plastic bottles which I have brought home to put in my recycling bin).
So Lola has been nibbling away on his fresh leaves rather than gobbling them all down as he usually would - but still, little and often is better than nothing at all.
Oh I hope so too.
It's a good thing that the lions and or lost tribes didn't find you, otherwise they would have had you around for dinner.Hi Lena

I agree, small and often is good. We will take what we can get. Look at me including myself in there. Lola you seem to be getting the roommates of the CDR wrapped around your fingers as well. So be a good boy and eat your greens.
Pity you can't have some of the warm rain we are having in UK. It is very muggy today.
I don't like the heat so your temps would suit me perfectly - we'll have to do a house/job swap in our summer/winter.
Can you get heat pads in your shops? I used one for a painful back once and it did help. We have lots of bargain shops here and I think I only paid a £1 for 2.
I hope it all goes well with the osteopath later.
Thank you. I actually have an electric blanket on my bed for night time, and I have a miniture electric blanket on my cushion (the back of my chair) for my office as well. It does help, but it is for the in between as I cannot carry them around (I wish I could lol). I don't like the heat either, as I get very hot, but it is better for my back, so I cannot have it both ways. But sure, we can swop. I don't mind at all. It will make life interesting that is for sure.
Can you get the self adhesive heat patches in South Africa?Thank you.

You can buy them in pharmacies and supermarkets here. I use the Superdrug own brand quite a lot as they are cheaper than the big brands like Cura-Heat and Thermacare.
Thermacare also does a big one that you wear like a belt around you waist and is good for covering the whole lower back area.
They say they last 8 hours, but I find they last around 10. You can't use them at night. If I am bad then I have to go for smelly Deep Heat cream at night.
We do have those patches, I think there is one that is quite big, I must actually look into that. But on an ongoing bases for everyday, it might turn out expensive. But thank you for the reminder. I will be looking for them. and see what the cost it. I could maybe use them on the really cold days.
I tend to use them only on the worst days... and using two Superdrug ones works out less costly than one of the biggest ones from the brands
I also have a microwavable wheat bag belt thing that I use. Not much ise if I am out and about, but it works at the office and at home
