JoesDad and I are just back in from the garden. We're on a war footing against irises - not particularly pretty ones - that seem to self set themselves everywhere. Fortunately the rhizomes are close to the surface.

Either that on the meerkats have been up to mischief planting them. The green wheely bin is full and the garden appears to be clear of them... we have thought this before though!
Crocosmia is the same - as fast as I thin out the patch they grow back with a vengeance!

Thanks Sabine! :rolleyes:

I have just met a lovely couple who have 2 older Greeks. One tort has been around for nearly 60 years and the other 30 years.

I offered Joe's basking lamps on FreeCycle and they asked for them.

We chatted about our shelled friends for quite a while. They asked if they could donate to TFO to say thank you, so I emailed them the link :)

I had a bit of a weepy session first thing this morning, but am feeling much more cheerful now :)
Very understandable - Joe was part of your life for such a long time and your children have grown up with him. He is part of your family history so it is bound to hit you occasionally.

Finally caught up with you all.
Hope everyone is having a good, relaxing Sunday.
I'm on standby to go an collect my nephew whom I support, from the coach station.
He has been to the NEC near Birmingham with his Camera club today.
Hope they haven't lost him - although he is 6' 5" and easily spotted in crowds so unlikely!

it was only a single sink and base unit, we added the worktop and re plumbed it all ... no leaks! great water pressure and sinks fully drain in seconds:)
Hi John - I feel a song coming on
"Oh Johnny Boy
the pipes, the pipes are calling...."

Did you get to sample the cakes??
They're almost as good as mine;)
(You should see what I can do with a couple of swiss rolls!!

Joe is all healed and eating well.
He's going into the tropical closed chamber this week for a few months untill he's sturdy enough to go outside into the baby corral

Great excitement. JoesDad gave me a nestbox with a camera in it for my birthday.

Just checked it now and we have a bird roosting for the night! Absolutely no idea what - perhaps a bluet it. (Carefully spaced to avoid TFO censorship)
