    Yes. Definitely for oral administration.

    If anyone knows of a brand of small magnesium supplement pills, please let me know.

      Are they as big as the vitaminD/Calcium ones? Revolting, chalky, sweet and massive.

        • We have been care home visiting this afternoon which was quite upsetting as the person we went to visit was definitely in a different reality today. She recognised my husband but asked him if he was still "courting"? I don't know who she thought I was.

          I washed one of the new quilt sets before use in case there was a finish on the fabric that might upset Mr GF's sensitive skin. I dried it outdoors and have decided I can get away without ironing it.

          Maybe I am just negligent at housework but if I ironed it it would look no better after a day.

          • ^^^No - not negligent at all!
            I never iron any of my bedding - only for guests. Got better things to do in life!

            Looks a lovely pattern by the way

              No thanks to a magnum I had a Cornetto earlier

              Just now I’m in the garden taking a break and munching on some fruit.

              Lots done today in the garden.

              Should I mention I never iron anything well apart from curtains.

                my mother used to iron pants and socks

                Mrs G has been testing out the new kitchen. Yesterday a roast dinner ( very yummy) and todays offering a cake - first she's made in years, not tried it yet but it looks OK.

                  I must say that I didn't even iron the creased up curtains I moaned about when they were very "late" arriving and it probably took them about a year to eventually lose their creases.

                  I think I must have a high inbuilt tolerance of untidiness. No, sorry, I know that I have. The only things that I am tempted to iron are pure cotton.

                  • Would you believe me when I say, I don't iron anything, and yet my shirts are always wrinkle free, evedently it must be the material that they are made with😏 Snoop a sharp knife helps when you can't swallow large pills
                    Went out to sit in the sun and read but found that I needed to inspect the inside of my eyelids, will try again tomorrow 🙂🙂🙂

                    • Gf….my inbuilt tolerance of mess is a bonus to me…my OH has a lower tolerance so tends to start clearing away etc before I feel motivated. I can’t stand a mess tbh , so apart from diy tools etc, I do try and keep my home at least clean, if not particularly tidy

                        • Ooo…just had a thought!
                          Three weeks from now will be the longest day! Always followed by the ‘nicer’ weather.
                          Hmmmm …..interesting to understand the definition of nicer summers these days eh?

                          Off to the uk tomorrow for a few days…will check in when I can.
                          Have fun and remember- make mischief!

                          Bacon and crumpets , fish n’chips, ….here I come!

                          • Hi All,
                            I hope everyone is well and enjoying the good weather, well I don't know if this is the thread for this moan but here it is anyway either a cautionary tale or a warning about online purchasing of flowers you decide ?

                            25/05 was our wedding anniversary (28yr's) anyway I ordered some flowers from an Amazon seller I will say not a pleasant experience really as today 5 days after being delivered the wife had to throw the ones that wilted the worst away. I never expected miracles but IMO you should at least have a resemblance of what the thumbnail picture being what you order.

                            The pictures below are what turned up The packaging was top notch but the DPD driver just left them in in front of the door not having gotten an instant answer and was halfway across the road to his van when I called to him he just pointed at my door and said by your door mate or something similar.

                            The flowers were kept in the box overnight and kept in a cool place to be wrapped and given in the morning as you can see by the pictures not to chuffed was I the wife liked them but like I mention threw those that had wilted out so as far as I was concerned a waste of money and ruined what should have been a good day for the wife IMHO.

                            Top - Thumbnail Advert / No's 2 /3 & 4 are what I received.....

                              A big difference in their photo and the flowers you received Geoff I know I wouldn't have been happy with them.

                              Another sunny day here that will be spent mostly outdoors.

                              Enjoy your day.

                                How disappointing for you both Geoff!
                                Cloudy again here, hope it brightens for my washing.
                                Enjoy your trip Nicos
                                Have a good day Bren and All
