Evening all, been enjoying catching up with the last couple of days photos and conversations.

@Joey66 gardening is hard work and compared to the aficionados on here I have a lot to learn. Not entirely sure what the plants are that I have planted but my climbing roses are beginning to bloom now and they are always beautiful. Gardening is just like everything else in life I realise now, the harder you work at it then the better the results.

Hope you are all enjoying a nice evening Mascoteers.

Hi everyone ,

A bit stiff this morning after a 3 hour table tennis training session but apart from a slight ache the ankle seems ok. looks like I can remember how to play - only lost 1 of 8 matches and that was to one of the best players in the league , so happy with that.

Very heavy rain overnight and light rain now as I write so not sure too much will get done in the garden.

Off to the gym in a bit and then see what the rest of the day has in store.

@anjelikaferrett loved your detail of a wasted working day. Must admit I don't miss work at all!

@Gwladysover beautiful photos but I hope that the dog was ok.

@blue1948 you are a clever bunny at making stuff - dead envious.

@fandjango not seen you posting for a bit. I hope that that's because you are letting your creative juices flow and everything else is ok.

@Methuselah my thoughts are with you and wish you all the very best of luck for the treatment and that Mrs M is as comfortable as possible.

@Sassy Colombian not seen you posting any photos for , let me see , at least 3 days , I hope that work isn't getting in the way of hobbies lol .

@Barnfred 55 please let me know when you are up north and hopefully we can sort something out.

So, I wish you all and everyone else , T , LT , AT etc etc a wonderful day.

Typical clique…pfft…..

Horticulture is like everything my old boss always warned me propagating plant feeding them etc dont put all your eggs in one basket - try things out if you dont waste time you can try another proven method

Quite a luxury for the working class under the Tories.

My chosen method appears to be liberal applications of Miracle Gro and wait to see what happens.

Wow! It really is a small world - I’m not stalking you, honest. lol

Aha, it's a great place to run the trails, I sometimes go through to caster/alwaton along the river too on my longer ones

Hi everybody. The daughter has signed us both up for four " Sweaty Saturdays' at the gym - half an hour of high impact exercise....at 7.30 am for the next 4 weeks.. I am going to die. The PT taking the sessions could be described as small but fierce. She's tiny, has a figure to die for and a voice like a drill sergeant! Will be checking the gym for where the defibrillator is located. lol

Whats a Gym lol my old PE teacher on that jump board saddle thing stood with his hands on his knees, at the end of it making the landing for me impossible - I asked him politely to move as I would not make the jump - he threatened me with the cane ...

So I did my best but flattened him good style on purpose hurting him all the class burst out laughing - he then chinned me good style the class had to pull him off me as he started to kick me on the floor I was only 12 years old ... the hard lads dragged him off - so he picked the most athletic lad in the gym - He will show you how it should be done - he ran up and landed on him for the 2nd time flattening him the rest of the lads ran in & gave him a good kicking - we ran like hell got changed & he never reappeared, but like every bullyboy he got a few of us back in the end as an Ex RAF instructor ....

Good stuff - alternate it weekly with a high tomato feed to get the balance correct as Miracle grow in high in nitrogen - Tomato feed is high in potassium - water with plain water first then feed as the feed sticks in the soil or compost

Oh Joey I'm so sorry to hear this. How upsetting and sad for you and your family. I hope you find a good nursing home for your mum in law. I would say, as others have, go and visit, have a good look round and read the latest CQC inspection report. They are readily available on the internet and are a good source of information. Ask about staffing levels - especially on night shifts which can be woefully understaffed.

Only had a few hours sleep last night - had more luck today the move was stopped .... for now ... it's awful thanks for your tips
