...a good training routine! You see how you went for the kettle automatically? Training that is.
You're doing well, we'll all be so proud of you.
I'm sure marathon runners train on Eccles cakes. All that sweet pastry for a sudden burst of energy (enough to refill & reboil a kettle) followed by the slow release energy of the currants. That'll keep you going until it's time for another mug of tea.
Perfect gardening diet really!

I ate my first strawb yesterday, wasnt quite ripe but with the amount of birds my garden is holding currently, I wanted to ensure I got there first.
I am now officially THE Butter Meister at the factory, I may have a new job in yet another exotic location, and I live in France.
All good news.
Hope things get better for you soon SL, not a great start to the year it has to be said.Bob Leponge

Sluglobber (love your username) you have been through the mill and I hope in the coming months things improve. We now know Haydens bowel movements (or lack of!), hopefully we've all had lunch (Heywayne, the wee guy is okay, isn't he?, don't know about poo and babies etc) Hubby and I had good news and I'm going to bore you all. Hubby and I used to keen hill-walkers (hubby was a bit of a mental mountaineer - own ice route up Mount Blanc (1976ish)). I'm still hill-walking, hubby isn't due to neuro condition. Well yesterday hubby walked 1 and 1/2 miles on a trail in the Galloway Forestry Park (he did need some help) but he did it Of all the things he has been robbed of, losing his ability to walk was the cruellest. Well it's coming back. We kicked the sh*te fairy into touch. If you need help kicking the fairy up the derrier myself and my size 8 feet are awaiting the call.

Sorry about all your troubles Sluglobber, your family must think someone's got it in for them. Can't think of any happy news at the moment, I was going to say at least it's not raining today but it's just started!Into every life a little rain must fall.Comment

I feel soooo much better knowing about baby poo, truffles, seahorse's visitors...
Titter. Thanks all for cheering me up! Fingers crossed OH's Mum is ok. She's never in the best of health anyway, partly due to her poisoning herself with her own cooking, but at least she's in hospital, where the vegetables are marginally less overcooked!
Hoping to ride a potential horse on Sat, but she's bigger than my field owner wants in there and may be out of my price range, yet (the yard owner is asking her tonight).Comment

Life's a b**ch sometimes sluglobber, and unfortunately she's p***ing in your garden right now. It's little consolation I know, but things WILL get better. Chin up. A good beginning is half the work.
Praise the young and they will make progress.Comment

Sluggy, when my dear departed Auntie Doris used to feel as if the Sh*te Fairy was making herself a bit too comfortable in her life, she used to open the front door and point her the way out with a very loud "OUT YOU GO!!".
Strangely enough, I have tried it and it usually means that she boggs off for a bit.
I did it this morning when my generally sh*tty week got on top of me after I cracked my head really hard on the window sill. (I'm not going to explain - it's a long and boring tale involving a cat, a dog, a basket of washing and possible inner ear infection). After shedding a few tears of pain and frustration, I gave the little b*tch her marching orders, and feel so-o-o much better for it.
Try it. Send the hairy-mary packing!When the Devil gives you Cowpats - make Satanic Compost!Comment
