Me to El
Good luck with your client. Hope it's a swift and painless visit

Moonie, wonders never cease with your sister

Back ftom the client. Totally painless visit

I would go as far to say it was a 'first' El  

Glad you client visit went well 

The sun has broken out here now. Full on  

Shopping done so now to figure out what to do with the rest of the day 

*goes away to have lunch and have a think* 

Back later 

 Everyone.
Hope you all had a nice weekend. Weather here a bit chilly, enjoy the sunshine where you are. 
 @PB, she is such a character. 
We had our local Gala Day, on Saturday. A good day, but was a bit chilly, so not much fun having a picnic on the grass. Local charities made a bit money, so all good. 

Hi Skylark

I'm glad the Gala Day went well on Staurday even if it was chilly

BBC article about an artificial nose being used to identify how the various compunds in chocolate and other sweets interact when we eat them in terms of the taste.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-32998220

Did you know that there are about 40 compounds in chocolate affecting the taste.

Did you know that for a very short time there's a cheesy taste when eating chocolate but we don't notice it.

and it's not just sweets.

It seems that if you open up a tea bag you may notice tiny white specks - they are flavour balls put in to enhance the tea taste.

Afternoon everyone.

Had a lovely lunch with DiL and PB. There was a soft play area next to the restaurant, which PB loved. Grandad is having a nap to recover.

Doggy bags for Moonie and anyone else who would like some food.

Skylark, I'm glad the Gala Day went well, but a shame about the chilly weather.

Catch up later.

Hi Yogi  

Glad you all had a good lunch together

PB sound alike she was in her element there  

*takes doggy bag* 

Fanks Yogi 

Hi Skylark 

Shame about the weather but glad the charities profited 

Yogi, I'm glad you had a good lunch out with DIL and PB

Nite nite everyone, sleep well and have sweet dreams  

Good morning everyone.

Weather is cloudy this morning.

Out and about today. Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning everyone

Cloudy dry day here.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone  

It started off sunny here but a few clouds have bubbled up now. Though more sun than not so far  

Should stay dry according to the weather forecast 

Yogi, will your 'out and about' include a visit to local supermarket, where some cakes may accidentally find their way into you trolley?  

Have a good day Buddies  

Good morning everyone, looks like pretty much the same weather for everyone, its dry but very cloudy.

The gardener is here and its such a relief to see the garden looking more like it's old self again, amazing how long grass makes the whole garden looking messy.

Enjoy your day whatever you're up to

Morning Squiggle

My garden isn't looking to bad since the de-weeding and grass cutting of a week or so ago. So no need for me to do any more gardening for the time being 

Have a good day 

What a lovely feeling I am simply amazed at the horrible things that have sprung up in my garden in the few weeks that my gardener hasn't been able to work.  I will ask him later what they are, great tall things that at first I thought were hartshorn ferns but now the grass is shorter I can see are not.  They have grown so quickly

Squiggle, I hope your things don't look like this:

They are called triffids and are capable of moving around and have a venomous sting so be careful

At least that's what John Wyndham wrote

Thank goodness they definitely don't look like that EL

That's a relief, I was getting worried

I wonder if I could get a prescription for chocolate from my doctor

Got some weird things growing in my garden too
When they first start to grow they look like asparagus. If you try to pull them out they snap off and regrow in few days 

If you dig down and manage to find the bottom, there are no roots on 

Glad I int got any of those growing El 

lol Squiggle, I'm glad you don't have any triffids growing in your garden.

Moonie, could it be wild asparagus that's growing in your garden?

Didn't buy any cakes today but I do have a nice gingerbread cake that I bought yesterday. Help yourself -> 

El, I think I'll add chocolate to my repeat prescription request and see if the doc allows it.

I don't think so re the wild asparagus Yogi. We have never grown veg in our garden...I will take a piccie in a while and post here 

*helps self to piece of gingerbread cake* 

Ta muchly  

You're welcome.

Yogi, good luck with your repeat prescription request

Moonie, if it turns out to be wild asparagus, some seeds could have come from birds.

Thanks El, I think I'll need it!

Well, here is a piccie of the weed in question...

That's a fully grown one...

Moonie, not sure it is wild asparagus. I tried to do a google image search on your picture and wild asparagus and one result was this which is of wild asparagus:

The picture clearly shows that it has roots.

I don't know what that is, Moonie.

Thanks for trying El but mine definitely has no roots like that and I have pulled/dug out loads of it  

Nope, nor me but its prolific whatever it is Yogi
