Daydream fund challenge part 4

DaftyDuck

Apparently.... that's probably the key word....

There'll be a UK directive now, he will need to change it again, back to flash flash flash flash.

As someone working in the NHS I feel very saddened by today's result. I'm not sure if people realise just how much funding for vital research comes from the EU for medicine...and I'm not a medic or a researcher. I think the death bell has just been rung for the NHS, and I accept it was already been rattled prior to this, but with no protection from the EU and no funding from the EU for a lot of what we do, I think we will be dismantled very soon. Which is most sad, not for my job or career, but for the vulnerable people I work with who couldn't ever afford or access private health care due to their mental health. Rough times ahead I think.
I'm going to take Daffy's course of action, I've just had 36 tiny plug plants delivered having taken a punt on a T and M offer. My plan is to plant them up, sell them off and live off the profits :rotfl:

Tried out cruise-control for the first time ever in the new car, most peculiar whizzing along with feet off the pedals and nudging the speed up or down by pressing buttons on the wheel.

>I wonder if the politicians ever realise how matters of huge import, such as this, are often decided in very random ways<

True, my mother voted Labour as she reckoned the Tory candidate ran a shop that sold inferior quality pies

Well I see that poor Jeremy Corbyn's been blamed again.

What rabble most politicians are. Been some disgraceful behaviour & it's not over yet.

Really pleased with the blackboard paint on the water tank - really covered it in one coat. The only thing I've painted recently that hasn't needed doing at least 3X.

Some heavy plouts of rain yesterday & clouding up now, but not a bad day.

To be fair, his body language and delivery didn't give me any good vibes, and I was in the 'in' camp. I was there due to Boris and co never giving us any real detail on their plans, mainly, it seems, because they might not have had any....

Indeed, Corbyn made the 'Quiet man' look positively raucous....

But don't worry, history will probably focus on Camoron, whose attempts to settle dissent in his own party backfired, big time, mainly because the majority of them were all well out of touch with the common man/woman beyond Basingstoke.

Unfortunately, Mr & Mrs Common Person just wanted to give the PM and Chancellor a bloody nose, which is fine in elections, but not great in this context. :wall:

Anyway, with GB.Plc pulling up the drawbridge, yesterday DW and I decided to counteract that and reach out to embrace our cousins in a much larger village, about 5 miles away, by bringing goodwill and cheap plants to their monthly market. The sum total of that enterprise, after stall fees, was exactly £5.10, which probably just covered the diesel....:(

Sorry you didn't have a great plant sale day Dave. All that effort too...

Ebay seems terribly slow at the mo, hardly anything shifting. Can't really get enthusiasum up to list owt new, although I have stacks of clutter everywhere it seems.

Grey, overcast & drizzling - midgied to hell.

Dropped into the Glasgow botanic gardens for the first time ever :embarasse

Now I've got rid of the too big coffee table in the conservatory, was looking at the stainless steel planters they used. Must have cost plenty ££s!

Here's a possibly trickier plant ID...

afternoon all.

Davesnave I beat you. I done our first local market with our quail eggs, and came out at a loss lol.. But they did say it was a lot quieter than normal. I didn't expect to sell much, the main idea was to try and pick up some contacts to sell my eggs too.
will do a few more locally for the same reason...

The flower guy was doing well. so this has def enforced my idea of growing cut flowers for selling. even if its just for a few markets in the summer.

Piglets are really bulking up now.. and turning out to be a very good litter. after their rocky start.

joined a local slimming world group, and have already lost 7lbs in 3 weeks. but it didn't help that our stall was very close to local bakery shop that makes lovely pasties, and there was a cake stall right next to us:o don't think I will be losing weight this week lol...
