    Thanks tori, it's certainly a lively winter solstice here, and with you too, probably! :beer:

    I have to eat my words.....nom, nom, nom....:o:o


    The man who was getting back to me did so yesterday, and with a bit of jiggery-pokery, I was able to register with the college although it's now closed for Christmas. So, I will soon be field-legal with the chemicals....all for just over £100, which saves me spending on stockpiling. :)


    Looks calmer for your Journey to Jersey alfie....

    Hi All, just thought I'd let you know that my mum passed away. It's a blessing but still a shock, she hasn't been mum for a long time

    Take Care

  • Condolences, Lucielle.

    Church shenanigans duly concluded, everybody happy (including the wardens), escaped work as soon as possible and, following an uninvited guest ruining last night's intended relaxation and recovery time, I've spent today lumbering around like a bear with sore everything and eating enough to lay down some extra fat reserves for the rest of winter.

    I have a bag of Holly and one of Ivy to convert into some form of festive decoration tomorrow, a market to trail around with Himself in the morning, and then it's just lazing around as much as possible.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    I'm sorry Lucielle about your Mum. My Mother had dementia & it was a release in a way when she passed away. You do a lot of grieving before they die I think.

    Also sorry to read your news, lucielle. I remember and understand the very mixed emotions.

    No drones here alfie; Mr Dog would shoot them down! In fact Mr Dog, or someone like him, is probably all they needed at Gatwick. I have a theory about the fiasco, but I'll keep it to myself for now. Expect new laws in the new year....;)

    Have a good time away Alfie.

    have a good break JoJo - sounds like you could do with a nice rest as could we all I suppose. I just want to sleep & have ziltch energy.

    Dave - please let me know what you think of the drone thing. It doesn't make much sense to me.

    It's a well-planned operation, likely to make much tighter legislation regarding drone use easier to push through. And there's no doubt current legislation's openly flouted; just look in estate agents' windows.

    I suspect the security services are finding the things damned inconvenient, and with rapid advances in the technology, likely to become much more so. Interesting who'll appear on You've Been Framed with regard to this...

    Dear Lucielle, very sorry to hear about your Mum. Know what you mean that she hadn't been Mum for a long time. Hugs to you from Wales.
