I miss your dahlia avatar davesnave. I was getting to like dahlias through it.

It's somewhere inside the old computer, in the garage.

One day I will fix old computer, but getting at its memory may be trickier......

I miss the money that dahlia was supposed to make for us. We don't have it any more, and the company who were trialling it don't speak about it. Indeed, they only speak when spoken to. :mad:

"Oh we were just going to send you an update."

They remind me of estate agents.

Meanwhile, a recent communication from the plant patents people suggests our verbascum has gone to the USA, but as those folk are in Amsterdam, or similar, their letters are always double Dutch. Wedon't know if they owe us or we owe them. Either way, it's probably best not to ask.....:rotfl:

a bit frosty here this morning..

with only 11 days to go to the grand opening of the supermarket:mad::mad::mad::mad: its bl00dy bedlam out there, why cant they use the supermarket carpark to park:mad::mad::mad::mad: It must be some sort of security thing, as no work vans/cars etc are allowed in there, they all park along our entrance road...

Thanks for the offer of the carpet Alfie... LIR has first dabs on this one, but if something else comes up in the future I will be interested....:T thanks..

Ctc, if you need that sisal you go ahead and say, I only want it, there is a difference. and I am quite happy to relinquish 'first dibs'.

I haven't measured out to see where I would put it, you might even have a better space than I do for it.

So....no boiler people here this morning. I have sent a sniffy email asking where they are. They have to have finished by tuesday for the nice builder.


I cannot decide whether to paint a wall in the kitchen or not this weekend. I really want to get the furniture in, and if I got just one wall painted (ok, and round two corners) we could do that......

Is the plaster completely dry?

On that wall, yes. Not on some areas of other walls though. It was the first wall plastered in their and has had a couple of weeks longer than other walls in that room, plus it needed less browning, maybe none.

Well, the lime trees had turned throroughly yellow by last weekend, and now most of the leaves are gone.

I started tieing in roses a little last week. Fair bit of that to do. I need more wires in again!

I guess it depends on what exactly you are planning to do, lir.
Will you be doing the light sanding/washing-down on any walls in that room? If so, I'd be more inclined to wait & do it all at once, then give it a mist coat before a proper emulsion.
It's always better IMO to leave it a bit longer rather than do it too early & have the paint slide off the wall
