You can never have enough...

Oops, sorry, I meant the Friday Funnies thread, under General. The Alan Carr one, reading the letter to an insurance co, is hilarious.

I complained to my daughter about the Ozzie army worms and she told me vinegar and water with a squirt of dishwash brings the beasts to the surface in daylight whereupon they salt them or let the birds sort them out, so if I see evidence in any more pots I shall try it. She sent me a photo of her new garden set up, raised beds on legs with covers, like a trail of covered wagons, all with water systems, worm farm and compost bins, all planned out with hard pathways so she can still play out there even when a wheelchair becomes necessary. She picked the perfect husband, he has even built her a full sized chook coop with herb garden handy to keep any opportunist rodents away. The two kids are all involved and loving the country life, I am very jealous, but also comforted that she has such great support. They are now updating the house and planning a minor unit for her in laws who are moving in to provide that extra cover as the family needs it -  growing up with an extended family taught her how valuable it can be, and how challenging as well so I know they'll work it out.

As for me, I finished my blue scarf, floor to throat and down the other side, should be fun on breezy days  down at the waterfront, and now I need to find a new project once that is fulled and blocked to shape. might be time to sort out the winter wardrobe, there's a definite nip in the evening air...

That sounds ideal, just what she needs - she does seem to have chosen a truly excellent bloke.
