    Fourthed on the dodgy Scottish hug :grouphug:. Hope LRH hugs you back :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I'm not sure if we're up to 4 or 5 dodgy Scottish hugs (I always assumed that GG was a Southern softy!)

    :grouphug:

    Take care MWC, it's always difficult feeling sad on a day where everyone else is celebrating.

    :grouphug: Let me add another dodgy hug, from the southeast. By tomorrow it will all be over, hang in there.

    Plants IN 3 - I was planning on a NPD (honest :o) but... I popped in to W/rose to buy some miso paste and they now sell garden plants & stuff... herbs were £3.50/each or 2 for £5 so I bought rosemary, thyme and sage to replace past-it plants in the garden :)

    Butternut squash tagine with buttered chilli couscous for dinner followed by apple, pear, rhubarb, plum & blackberry crumble with crushed gingernut biscuits in the crumble topping - yum!

    I love a man with RP.

    :wave: it's RP with a slight undertone of Gravesend, Alchemilla! His Gravesend buddies are less than polite about his manly eloquence! :rotfl:

    MWC I just can't bring myself to do those dodgy hugs, but I do send a special virtual one for you and I shall cuddle my own muddy white chicken for you tomorrow (although she's less mud and more dust since the rain eased up)! My personal issues relate to Father's Day but I do also think of those ladies today who don't get their mum hugs, for any and all of the reasons you describe.

    Hope next week is kind to you x
