Oh' so pretty!!
I really want a pomegranate, they are lovely plants. In Milan there were lots of wild , not fruiting, pomegranates, and the flowers are nice. I think one might cope here if it were south facing and I get more wind shelter.......l0 -
Hope Lydia got back in time for the sunshine kid.0

That 2nd link in my post is a UK site that says those ones grow in the UK. I'll add those to my list of things I want when I get a houselostinrates wrote: »Oh' so pretty!!

Speaking of idle, Isaac broke up for the Christmas holidays on Friday - little sod is hardly ever at his so-called place of learning!
He doesn't get off scot-free, though, he has his 3 hourly dyslexia lessons this week, holiday or no holiday.
I've just finished at Feltham - I'm trying to summon up the energy to go out in the rain and get the bus-train-bus home.
I was at the school at 8.15!
By 10am, I had had one meeting at school, done my weekly shop, delivered a voucher to my parents, picked up a prescription, put fuel in the car and unpacked the shopping.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

I hate relying on public transport. I was walking to get a bus at 7am in the rain and cold and dark.
I pretty much always rely on public transport - it's generally good in London, almost always faster than driving, and better accepted as a genuine reason if you're actually late. Driving isn't....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

"How can he manage that?"
"He's got a Tardis."PasturesNew wrote: »Never heard of him.
OH knows him, from their time together in India, teaching English, I think. Certainly sounds a familiar name, I'll ask him tomorrow. OH gave blood today, so he's having an early night.lostinrates wrote: »Big dog has cancer
Sorry to hear that, LIR.

They smelled really strongly of oranges.
The lump doesn't cause her pain. Whether there is other discomfort I don't know. She takes reasonable pain killers on and off anyway because of her 'back'.0 -
I used a park and ride today because I'd been there before and used it .... and I knew it was painless and you don't have to worry about car parks being full, where they are, finding them again, how long you're taking and how much that'll be etc.... £2.50.

Having said that, I waited 20 minutes for the return bus, which then took 10-12 minutes to make the journey as it was waiting for lighrts or at a roundabout most of the time.0
