COLD DARK ROOM

[Bee62]

I think i am a little better today, but still plan on moaning for a good few days yet.
Man flu lasts more than seven days, I expect.
How are you?

I am fine, although the weather annoys me much ! It is windy and cold, dark and it rains sometimes. That`ll be the weather for the next 4 months in Germany. Except we are getting some snow in January but this is not sure.
Mud and cold and dark all around ! I hate it, but nevertheless I am fine as usual !
Talking to you and all my other friends here at TFO makes the day brighter and lovlier.

Hmmmmmmmm..... no answer..........

For me too!
And the good thing is both my students so far today have cancelled.
Still might have one this evening, though.

Oh, yes there is!

If it won’t hurt your feelings too much, trim them back to the best live wood they show. This typically will rob you of blooms the following year because they bloom from the prior years growth, sometimes they won’t bloom for two years or only light the second year, but don’t panic, they’ll come back. Fertilize like normal, no extra to help them along because that can cause other problems for you and you just want bushier azaleas. Then just be in the now with your azaleas and appreciate them for what they are.

I trimmed one of them back quite a bit last year. Maybe it wasn't enough, or maybe it will come back good this year. I've cut hydrangeas down to the ground after they looked dead and they come back.

Good evening all.

First we went to The Postal Museum - really interesting and covered the history of the Post in the UK since Henry VIII, him with the six wives, set up a system to get royal announcements round the country.

And we took a ride on Mail Rail - the underground line started in 1914 to take post across London. It’s a little cramped, but then it was designed for mail sacks not humans! It hasn’t been used for mail since 2003.


We called into a restaurant near the Arsenal stadium for lunch and ended up star spotting (it is a rather trendy area these days).

Newsreader Dermot Murnaghan will mean nothing outside the UK. He and his son were clearly going to the match too. And then A-list Hollywood actress Keira Knightley came in with her husband and toddler! [emoji33]

The football was considerably more boring than a 2-1 win for Arsenal would suggest; not a good game.


And now we are heading home on the train with another tv personality that the non-Brits won’t have heard of, Ian Hislop. He lives near us somewhere and we see him on the train pretty regularly.

It’s been a good day except my back is playing up. Hopefully I can take painkillers and sleep that off.

Good afternoon Adam. How are you today ? I hope better.
In Germany we say a cold that is treated with meds stays 7 days and a cold that is not treated with anything stays a week.
Now you can count how long you have to suffer from today.

They say the same thing in the US.

 

[Gillian M]

3 am?
No chance.
He'll have to walk.
And it's about 50 km.

Hi Adam.

You made Oli walk all that distance. Why?

Hope the back recovers quickly.
The post train is very interesting, I haven't done that.

Good evening, Gillian.
is he still walking?
He's not here yet, nor Oli Khan.
I'm not going to the airport at that time of night.
It rather defeats the object of comforting me when i have this serious malady.

It's a lazy, rainy day.
It's also our 19th year anniversary.
This is Suki trying to eat a porterhouse bone that is 1/3rd her size.
