Of course... the pixies aren't always reliable.
Though it was probably a typical TG set up with actors, I still loved the toffs getting sprayed and blown over.
That hover van looked genuinely dangerous to be in 
I haven't seen it yet. Clashes with Once Upon a Time... *ahem* and then I watched the second half of season 2 Horrible Histories...
ETA: I have now. 
The bit at the lock had me in stitches, been a long time since that happened.
Newsflash! The Livingstone Daises are flowering. They're white and look like ermm... daisies. Am hoping for more coloured ones in time.
Ooh! *fingers crossed for colours*
Starting to see some white appearing on Vivian's buds. Soon!
Well done 
Vivian's doing well by the sounds.
Livingstone Daisies open in the morning and close in the evening - almost like a Venus Fly Trap - but not quite as exciting.
They aren't that exciting either to be honest... I keep having to feed her manually.
Could set up a floral clock... get some evening bloomers, then night bloomers.
*may just be finding fun to type "bloomers" a lot*
Bloomers 
... conjures up [frilly] visions.
Acquired all 3 G.O.T. series. Will start soon. After Les Revs finishes on Sunday. Have to spend at least 3 days afterwards obsessing about it / reading blog posts 
Oh of course! I understand fully.
What type didyou get? Those^^^ are 'Magic Carpet'. They're usually sold as a mix, but can be found sometimes as single colours. The mix is best, I think.
I've lost the seed packet but the pic looked like that ie a mix Got a yellow one coming through now!
Another really funny TG. I was laughing out loud - a rare occurrence for me also.
They look pretty. I do hope it is a good mix. That yellow sounds promising.
There was a lot of Top Gear talk last night... not seen it yet, but caravans, I should enjoy that.
Can't believe the furore over the faked Hovervan scenes - it was obviously a set up! TG do it all the time.
Last night was brilliant - especially one bit.
Everything on Top Gear is faked. I always thought that was taken for granted?
Yes, exactly. Oh well... it wouldn't be TG if there wasn't a weekly to-do.
Iplayered CP's Springwatch special on moffs + butterflies 
though I might have to watch from behind the sofa.
Not watching. Nope. Never.
There was a massive, extremely active moth in the close the other day. It was like having a bit part in a Mothra movie.
Lol they can get pretty big.
Wow! They are fantastic Never knew a Venus Fly Trap had such beautiful flowers.
Rarely ever see them... mostly the stalks get broke off before they can get big. (uses a lot of energy).
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...
