Move the office to the coolest room in the house!

Oh dear!
I have just eaten nearly three quarters of a kilo of strawberries.
Never mind that they are not very high in calories or that they are high in fibre and vitamin C. The question is whether I can keep them down so as to get those benefits?
Sorry. Probably TMI.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Crikey, I haven't even picked that many yet. Shouldn't be too long before I do, though, they are coming on nicely.
Likewise the raspberries, I've had the first few but there are loooads more on the way.
Still, tonight's tea was nice, roast beef, new spuds, carrots and purple-sprouting broccoli - the only thing that didn't come out of my garden was the beef

That's really very impressive. I don't have green fingers, so I'm doubly impressed with your efforts.
I'm afraid the strawberries came from the supermarket.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
I had this grand plan of installing a watering system for the bedding plants.
After trawling through websites on timers, irrigation systems etc I bought from ebay a garden hose punctured with holes.
To complicate things the flower beds are interspersed with raised squares and a gap in the middle. So soil level is:
-_______-_______- gap -_______-_______-
Tried it out today and found that it needs to be strung across the top of the flower beds because otherwise the water won't rise and fall along its whole length.
Also needs to be supported across the gap.
Then find having the hose raised means water fires in all directions as well as into the flowers. About half the water never makes it into the soil.
Rather than being a discrete pipe I now have a very visible hose, looks particularly unsightly across the gap.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I bet your neighbours are delighted to see a full moon as well
One handy thing about having a disability is that I cannot dress or undress standing up, plus my windows are slightly higher than normal....so no vomit inducing views are possible.
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.

Tonight's tea was local ham, eggs (boiled) and potatoes with a smattering of scalded hand due to my essential tremor. Joe also had roasted vine tomatoes and green beans with his.We made it!

Thank goodness today is due to be the last day of this.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?
