Thank you, TM. I have a few strawberries too!



I will upload another picture tomorrow. Dad has been hard at it all week and Fence now looks a lovely shade (after Creosote and Diesel!)

Raised beds make my heart race:)

It's nice to see someone with the ability to (sic) something. I know our Tom is skilled in this and a very literate person too - with an astute eye. Wonder where he is?!

Unfortunately the use of "sic" is often construed (mis-construed?) as being disparaging by highlighting others' errors. In fact my use just then was completely incorrect, as "sic" is used after a faithful reproduction of a text - it should have been a capital O and without the square brackets around it. I had edited it myself to a lower-case o and then also used "sic" to suggest I was quoting accurately when in fact I was doing anything but.

We simply have to live with what I believe to be simply an inferiority complex.

Unfortunately, whether it is an "inferiority complex" or not - and I don't make any judgement one way or another about that - it is one (or whatever it is) with a great deal of powerful social control behind it, which makes all sorts of judgements, often inaccurate assumptions (which it then fails to see, let alone correct) and discriminates against - well I see it discriminates against the truth in some [edit, yea, a lot of] circumstances [and in some circumstances often encourages and or rewards lying]. People generally are very slow to judge themselves and will not admit to their failings however true they are. At the same time they make all sorts of judgements about others - the way they look, they way they speak, even the words they use, and take first impressions more severely - they also find boring and uninteresting any attempt to explain fully from which, had they had the ounce of attention, would have been able to understand.

I do hope you managed to locate some pj's for your ds2 by bedtime.

Trouble is while weather is good we concentrate on washing and drying clothes
Not worrying if there are any available to wear when needed.
Hopefully the extra sleepy tablet will mean you don't have to gaurd the door to trampoline tonight. Sounds like an ironing day for you tomorrow but atleast that way you get a weekend free of ironing.
Huge pile of ironing here as unpacked clothing put away for the renovations. Don't knoe if I like some it anymore but I bet I iron it before deciding I don't like it and throw it away.
Soon I will have literally nothing to wear it is getting that bad.

Glad your manic afternoon has calmed down considerably since your husbands visitor earlier. Was ds2 ok eating burnt dinner?

The dog wouldn't even eat the cremated dinner :rotfl::rotfl:.....we ordered a Chinese :rotfl:

So... here from Savvy, with my superiority complex*.

Still looking for my Morries list..:(


* Less said the better - only intended as a reply to the most recent post. And nothing more than that. (See - if I add any symbol, people might think this footnote is meant in irony and is a joke. It isn't - it's serious.)

Fish pie my OH makes a cracking fish pie! Chinese, can't remember what we all had but mine was dry fried chilli beef with something that tasted like really spicy HP sauce ( forgot the name ) with glass noodles
