... 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.

Launch ov stage 2 ov freelander development included seats and suspension.

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.

... that the wife just got a call from the hospital. Her Mum (who they gave a GA to yesterday to work on her leg) is now today going downhill fast and she had better get there ASAP. Not looking good at all.

How to frighten your children.

Mornin Lovely sunny morning Making something to change oil in power steering today, two bottles, some tube etc Off to water plants before it gets too warm Stay cool all :)

Rang up the house insurance peeps for the UK today, managed to get nearly £100 knocked off the premium. Result! :):):)

Saw this on YT and thought is was pretty good.

The e-assist is a big help without it I doubt that the cycling would be possible. But, I do my best to keep the e-assist level low enough that I am also putting effort into the system against the resistance so that my muscles get a bit of work to...

Yes, just a little. As long as I don't go crazy with the PUSH effort it seems to cope. :) Weird seeing as one day last week I could not walk up or down the stairs on the right leg. As the trike is e-assist I am not having to do all the work I...

Dunt the pedalling hurt your legs after a couple of miles?

Knee a bit better then Dan? 👨‍⚕️

...took the Mini out for a blatt round the town, no problems noticed. Will check the plugs later. Also took the trike out and did a 10 mile loop around Canvey Island in the sunshine. :D That's twice in just few days. :)

Mornin Warm and sunny Watered me plants early Cleaning Freelander boot area today, get it nice for the road trip, noticed a handy 12v socket in there for me kettle :p Chinese shooting stick arrived this morning, better quality than expected :)...
