    Just you wait until you turn out your first compost heap :j:j:D

    I think I inherited a compost bin with the house. I haven't yet been brave enough to look at what's lurking inside!

    One year I found an ant colony ( let it get too dry, didn;'t I). This year I have a slug empire. I keep hoping one year I'll find an empire of something sentient , like the SandKings from the Outer Limits, but it ain't happening.:(

    Got my haematologist appointment next week on Wednesday. I'm quite excited to understand what happened to the lymphoma.

    Will keep you posted.

    Weird 2 messages I was sure I posted last night are not there. We will be interested to hear your news too G. did you ever get the full scan results?

    Fingers crossed we may have a new tenant. No more news on the planning front.
    I think....

    Well I got the results as far as I know them which is an incredible disappearing lymphoma. No idea beyond that hence the haematologist.

    I'm more interested than anything else now.

    Yesterday I had a tiny white spot on my eyelid, one of those that looks invisible but feels like someone lodged a bit of gravel in your eye.

    Today, I look like I've lost a pub fight - the ideal look for a barrister on her way to court! One red, puffy, nasty-looking punched eye.....

    Israel's in the Eurovision, and also plays football in the Europe division of the football world cups. That's because its neighbours won't play football with Israel.

    Me.

    And michaels,

    And possibly viva

    Any one who is light sensitive for what ever reason. :)

    Some people just don't like the beach. Others get sore being there.

    It's OK for walking the dogs on in winter when no-one else is around as you struggle against a serious wind. As for sitting on a sunny beach, I may last 10 minutes before boredom kicks in.

    Got an interview for that job in Hertford :D

    It's just the first round, but I'm looking forward to it!

    Hey congratulations and good luck. I'm in the North West, but have an office in Herts, a point I keep stressing to make more of a NP.:p

    I checked in on my little seedlings when I got up this morning, and was looking forward to getting back home to them this evening.
    Slightly overexcited.

    I know! You should see my radishes, can't stop the little darlings from sprouting. I like to grow things that are likely to be successful. Spinach is also tentatively emerging.

    However gardening will be limited as it turns out after hopping around for two weeks, I have a fractured fifth metatarsal and have impact damaged the cuboid bone in my foot. i have crutches, but they are impossible, so counting on resting a lot and hobbling on my heel unless I have any distance to travel.:(
