Well said. I feel exactly the same.

They can't all leave for Australia or NZ.
Ironically as a public sector worker I experienced significant pay loss but could have earned more in Australia.

Ours has removed one bauble so far but tree only just gone up.

We’ve had ours for 5 years this week.

Good luck.

Should say this is not my area of expertise. Info acquired from google and the local garden centre.

Yep that is maggot shit.
We have disposed of all the plums and hung up moth traps although probably too late and haven’t caught any. Need to use in Spring apparently.
Going to use nematodes in Sept and again in Spring in an attempt to stop them hatching.

If they are pink it is fruit moth.
If they have black gunge inside the maggot has left the plum
And fallen to the ground to pupate.

Look like Victorias. Unfortunately ours have been attacked by plum moths.

I attended for my annual health assessment on Friday.
Asked by HCA for my urine sample.
Said I didn’t know I needed to bring one.
She said it was in my letter. I said I got a text not a letter and no mention of urine sample.
At this point she admitted people weren’t being told to bring one.
Chaos.

Completely agree.

We’ve got blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants.
2 different sorts of raspberries that fruit at different times.

We’ve had a few raspberries but picked around 3 kilo of blackcurrants yesterday and probably more than that left on the 2 bushes.

We visited here last December. Amazing place.

Our MP. Just hopeless.

Just horrendous

We chose our cat to match the soft furnishings. Well not really.

I got one last week so I can access Press Reader and read my favourite newspapers for free.
Brilliant.
