    Have you not used 4od before?

    I 'm not sure. I've used I player for bbc but cannot figure that out any more either.

    ( I finally managed to workout hot to turn my heating off and couldn't work out how I couldn't have seen it before....whether I'll be able to turn it on again who knows?)

    Does it help if we post links to shows that you want to see? Are there any others that you want links to besides the Mormon one?
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    That's kind. I don't know. I'll try Mormon one tomorrow and see how I get on with it. :A

    Well, I might not be in a field in Pilton but I've just taken my waterproof shoes off after being outside... potting up 48 (yes, 48 :eek:) teeny weeny lavender plants. Hope enough survive to line the not particularly long path to the front door :)

    48?! I know you have a lovely garden area, but that's an awful lot of lavender plants....

    Holding a sleepy baby vs housework (or anything work/chore related) . What would I choose?:think:

    Kermie doesn't like being put down much (like almost every small baby, I think).

    Isaac said yesterday something really sweet - that Kermie must have chosen to join our family because he liked having nice cuddles!

    Nearly made OH wipe away a tear, I think.....

    Thanks Gen.

    Has a very Gen feel to the opening post so you have truly embedded our Australia branch into the NP brand.
    .

    I think of Gen as from Australia, but not of it.

    Ahhh.... that's such a nice thing for Isaac to have said. I'm a firm believer that there its no such thing as too many cuddles.

    Regarding lavender... Will post a pic (natch) later, think I've lost about 6-8 already. They are plug plants so really miniature, was under £6 for all of them (and no option to buy fewer - fewer not less, right?!). A fee people might be getting lavender plants for Christmas this year! :)

    I want to plant lavender in my garden, so am keen to hear how you get on Nikks. Am thinking of getting the bigger plants though. I love lavender and what I think of as cottage garden plants.

    If you're not thinking of buying within the next few months, I might have some presents for you! :)

    Thanks for the talk about non-grass lawns by the way, I'm quite seriously thinking of converting the front garden from grass (well, mainly moss).

    Lavender is my plan for here, also. I only ever get to enjoy what I've planted when I drive past places I've lived. I've not done a pathway of lavender before, but it's so pretty and the bees love it :)

    Yours will look lovely when it's all grown up, Nikkster!

    I'm stood on a train station platform in Harpenden. Waves at nearby NP :)
