Fell er sheep int chair watching the bbc program on that daft sub that broke'd when going too deep int water. Will cut me grass annuva day.

Waiting for me squirrels to finish their tea so eye can mow me grass. If eye go out now it will scare them oft.

Sounds like they treat a sore with a plaster while around her is a disaster. Wouldn't surprise me if the vultures of surgical consultants are circling. The poor thing has a myriad of conditions that prevent recovering quickly for a quality of...

Shame your wife and her brother agreed for different reasons. Hope MIL is comfortable. Gonna be a long few days. J

... that the hospital called my wife to talk about the MIL. The GA on monday has brought on delirium in the old gal (it often happens when they have dementia in the first place). Her kidneys are shot from weeks and weeks of vancomycin, her o2...

You can get all sorts of weed preventing materials some of which come in circles with a slot cut in to go around your plants. W uses them for the strawbs in her raised beds. They have copper woven into them...

Yea, I'm still looking at the grass from above 😁

Is that cos he’s deaded?

Plant pots is ideal for weeds to grow. Only way to deal with them is to pull them out when they appear. (In my opinion of course, I ain't Percy Thrower).

Mornin Warm but dull for now Had to put canes up as sunflowers are now at about 3 feet and I expect em to get much higher. Putting some steak in slow cooker for tonight Stay cool all :)

Friend of mine used to use carpet underlay, think the stones idea was to keep snails off but different people give different answers :)

Morning All. :D A pretty rubbish night. Hosp called at 1:39 to say the old gal was fading again. :( A lovely day here. :) Have a good day. :D

Wot does we fink about mulch for covering soil in me plants pots? Is small stones a betterer option to stop weeds growing in em.

OK, the old gal has rallied a bit, still very much "on the edge" but we will see what happens overnight. Wife is expecting a similar scenario tomorrow. :(

Horse brass!

Wife is there with the MIL, as are 2 grandchildren. Her Son (who was told first) had not yet put in an appearance. :( He is closer to the hospital than we are , so I am baffled.

As mentioned no battery set up on the 2005 car but 40 days without use will kill it stone dead. You mite get away with 3 weeks even then special programmes will be off until it reached full charge. Disconnect the battery next time and lock it...

When the Golden Girl was a tad younger, and home to HQ was approx 500miles, I would leave her for 3 months or more. On coming back she would start first turn of the key. Then her runs changed to little short hops or massive drives of 10 -20...

No battery management on 2005 and that year is not set up for AGM batteries best stick to lead acid.

Short journeys and lack of use... If it's stop start vehicle then an Agm battery is a must, also a slow jump start could be their jumper pack, bad earths and a few things. I would look into finding out if the battery management needs resetting...

Mine would also be dead after 40 days without a charge.
