Ah I see.  You must've been taking good care of Vivian.

How's the weather up there and how are your hols going? 

I meant on purpose. Flowers slow down the traps.

Weather's picking up again... still got a week. I get depressed at this stage... lol

How are you keeping?

Kind of muddling along same as usual, thanks.

You go back in a week? Thats a shame . Thought the schools got longer?

6 and a half weeks... it's not bad.  The kids get 7. We stop earlier than the rest of the country.

Started Game of Thrones yet? So I can say stuff like "It is known." and you'll know what I'm on about.

Will start soon *nods*. Don't know why I'm putting it off lol. Fear of disappointment? 

So Scottish schools go back mid August? Kinda strange

Maybe so. Stuff gets built up and you watch it like "Why?"... Like everyone goes on about Shaun of the Dead, and I really don't get it.

Well, we stop at the end of June.

Agree... its such a nothing film. And don't get me started on Downton Abbey.

TG over for a while  The finale was completely contradicted by the programme on straight afterwards though? Strange scheduling.

I've seen bits of Downton... Don't see the fuss either. It's fun to annoy the fans by calling Lady Mary "Susan" instead.

I haven't seen it yet (as usual ) but, yeah a lot of people (mostly Jezza) were complaining.

Oooh what did Jezza say?

 Just a general what the hell were bbc 2 thinking.

The big TG ending was impressive. However the next programme showed while Brits make vehicles, most companies have overseas owners so the profits go there.

Well... its true. 

It is... That said TG were probably more about the engineering side. I enjoyed the bit in the news about Nissan and Alfa Romeo... Every time I see I an Alfa there's a piece missing.

 ... bits nicked?

I think bits fall off them rather easily. That the impression TG has given me, sightings seem to confirm it.

Quiet...

 Oooops sorry! I thought I was the last one to post + was waiting for you! [ You know how fick I am].

Hows being back at work? 

Ah... lol Stealth posting.

Been ok, kids are back tomorrow... and the prices have gone up, it's going to be a nightmare on the till.

How are you? Flowers became varied now?

I'm doing fine thanks. My nurse came yesterday and she's very positive and helpful. Mrs Madwoman was caught and hospitalised [ hopefully she won't escape like she did earlier in the year] Stocks died - probably lack of light. Daisies did ok. Marigolds are going great. 

Sounds like being a nightmare for you - good luck.

Great that they caught her. A bit of peace of mind.

Shame about the stocks. Glad everything else is growing fine. Anymore planned plantings?

All but 2 kids remembered about the price rises... It's a miracle. lol

Phew... relief about the kids.

Will have to look for plants that grow well on windowsills. More herbs maybe. Also collected lots of marigold seeds for next year.

Oh... started G.O.T.   first episode was raunchy but good. Pity I know what happens to Sean Bean though...
