An email from solicitor saying "Our Clients"

Hang on a Todd! "Our Clients"

Don't remember them paying the original extortinate bill you requested 7 years back!

Just pay the "Chuffin Bill" They are legally bound to to pay! eek: Who's the solicitor here?

Honest! They drive ya "Barmy"

I went to the doctors as I have caught a bug. I really don't feel well. Went to pharmacy to get the pills and was stopped by the police who decided to check if my car is insured, they then decided to check if 2 other vehicles in my name are insured. Very embarrassing,very public, 2 police cars, over an hour and I'm feeling so ill I can hardly stand up let alone remember the reg no's and insurance companies.

I haven't had a cold, flu or bronchitis for 4 years since my 1st flu jab so this has hit me hard.

It would be more constructive if they dealt with the illegal parking in our town but they say they don't have the manpower.

People who think that the hatched NO PARKING arears that are there for safety and line of sight in car parks are actually their very own parking bay!

Being asked to grow stuff so a certain person can make chutney. Grow certain stuff and all I get back is
" Oh I don't want to make chutney yet so I don't want them. OH doesn't like it when the house smells of vinegar"
So I now have a shed load of marrows and courgettes. Running out of ideas what to do with them. The neighbours dodge me when they know I am going to the allotment now.
Number two rant is new potatoes that go all flowery and mushy. Doesn't matter how I cook them, boil or steam, they go all yucky. The are white Duke of York and we bought them as 1st earlies. Wont bother with them again

Thrown away most of my shallots!!!! They were good this year as well. Lifted them and laid them out on the paving to dry then we had one day when the temperature got to 35c and it basically cooked them. Gurrrr

Long rant. You could skip to the last paragraph.

Did the rounds of my veg patch and watered this morning. Not looking good. The toms are ripening but everything else is pretty disastrous. Something very odd has happened to the peppers. They were looking so good but they and the aubergines have all shrivelled and gone wrinkled and leathery. Cobs on the sweetcorn are not plumping out. Green beans are finished. Courgettes likewise. Melons and chillies are surviving, but again the chillies are wrinkling on the plants but not properly ripe. Potatoes need to be dug up, even the Pink Fir Apples, which ought to be in the ground for weeks longer. Would be OK, but I know they're full of insect holes. Cabbages, caulis and broccoli useless to the point of being inedible. Leeks and some of the onions OK, but a lot of the onions have keeled over due to being trampled and tugged by some very young kids who helped Mr Snoop with some weeding in my absence.

Starting to wonder what the point of it all is!

Because it was scorchio today, had the lounge window open to create a nice through draft with the back door.
Came in, curtains were flying in the wind, covered in pollen from the vase of lilies fairly close to them.
Curtains had even deposited said pollen on to sofa cushions.
Half a toll of cello tape later - arghh

Stopped of to water my allotment yesterday, left car in road, for about 20 minutes, came back to find a brick had been smashed through drivers window, bag (was under seat) had been taken! Broad daylight !

SCUM, hope they run over by a bus!

My rant pales into insignificance compared to yours Dotty......................had to lift all the outside toms due to blight.
