I know, what you mean though C. I get misinterpreted on here a lot and always in a negative manner, it is very annoying/hurtful, just ignore those peeps 🤗[Deleted User] said:

Mrs D has her own problems I'm afraid, which is why I have a friend to walk with these days, but it's not walking weather this morning.[Deleted User] said:

And while I seem to be fine, my 'puter isn't, so if I suddenly disappear, it's just a technical glitch.

After a sunny, dry day spent raking yet more leaves, the rain is back with a vengeance. Not much to look at in the garden at present but I do have violas in flower and a very brave Hesperantha with pretty pink flowers. It has defied the persistent rain and several frosts, a cheerful little plant.I was jumping to conclusions and one of them jumped back4

This is the 1 subforum that never winds me up 😁🤩😍🌱🍂🌲Sometimes I can't stop myself being mischievous, like on the 'pigeon' thread where I advocated trapping them and making a pie, but mostly I am well-behaved.
I used to have an AI, but he got banned because a snowflake took exception to him. MSE wagged a finger at me.Edit: Hesperantha......that's what some of us call schizostylis isn't it? .....if we've got out teeth in!
He was only a bit rude, in a Carry On film sort of way, but of course that's exactly what pushes some 'woke' people's buttons!

Dull out, with downpours on the way once they've dumped a lot of it on Dave
Checked my recent seed delivery, all good, I'd forgotten I ordered yet more toms, despite having decided I was sticking with what I had, my new untried ones areCherry Falls which I'll try as replacement for my Balcony type, and Ship Saint [F1], just because it was on £1 offer & not 10 seeds for £2.99 so worth a try
Oh dear, I sometimes post Carry On style comments, but Kenneth Williams said when he saw an innuendo in a script he just whipped it outDavesnave said:Black_Cat2 said:

Dave I don't know about that word that you need your teeth in for, sometimes it is called a river lily. Very pretty.I was jumping to conclusions and one of them jumped back2

My character always referred to 'Matron' at the end of his posts and included a double entedre. Considering I failed French oral, that was quite an achievement.Farway said:Dull out, with downpours on the way once they've dumped a lot of it on Dave
