Well, I did go to the garden centre, and got a few plants I needed and it didn't take long at all really, although it was just as crowded as usual - think every one in this area must be a "gardener".

However, having arrived home safely, had to plant the 'new' plants didn't I? Fine, but then one thing leads to another, does it not? Had to move "these plants" so that "the other plants" still looked alright, then there wasn't space here for those, and those didn't look right where they were supposed to go, etc. etc. etc.!! Then I had to clear up the mess I had made there, and also plant a really 'posh' (and expensive') new plant in an appropriate vessel, and that mean't moving other plants, etc., etc., etc. - I expect you get the picture, and I have just finally cleared up and come indoors! So now my legs and knees hurt, my back hurts, my wrists really hurt badly, and I am going to lie down on the settee, and watch the box!! And I bet there is only rubbish on that!

"It is being so cheerful that keeps me going" - now whose saying was that? Someone well known I think. However, I may think but I never remember!!

Evening all

Ah those were the days. ITMA followed by the Goons, Round the Horne and even Dick Barton, Special Agent.
I went to one recording of the Goons which was hilarious. The others all fooling around when one had the mike... and one take and it was in the can. Now, as I read, they spend all day for half an hours television and the comics always reckon that their best bits have been left off.
But that's just me acting the real old fogey. It's just that now, with shows like 'Have I Got News For You' you know nothing is spontaneous as they are all reading off the TelePrompter.

Oh mercy! There must be a copy of Eats, Shoots and Leaves within proximity corrupting me with its dark side as my mind wonders why your fathers and grandfathers would be in jars at all? Ah, but thankfully, I am saved by the fact that this old fart actually has a handful of neurons that are still capable of functioning as you clearly meant their teeth and not them in their entirety! Any day when all you have to worry about is a couple of wayward apostrophes is indeed a GOOD day!

Morning all
