You should suggest it - makes me wee all night !!

I can give sell you a bag if that helps

[qbman1]

Try distilling it - might be some good stuff

....or use it to water your tomatoes

[Stephen]

Tomatoes are going. Rubbish this year, no flavour at all. So it's the bin for them later this week.

[qbman1]

Leave them. You will find the taste improves with a bit of sun on them so the next lot to ripen should be better. Watch what varieties you grow next year too - I always grow the small ones Gardener's Delight and Sungold

[Mervyn and Trish]

Are they the ones the bunnies prefer?

[Stephen]

I always grow the cherry toms (piccalo if I can get them), and usually from seed, but the ones I brought earlier none came up so had to resort to a couple of plants from the garden centre. Don't remember the names but cherry toms they ain't. Nope, there going

Picking and freezing broad beans like they are going out of fashion. The runner beans are just starting as well

Wish I lived nearer to you - I'd be round your allotments like the bunnies stealing your broad beans - love them - they are so expensive in the shops though

[qbman1]

...and the ones you buy don't taste like mine - ask the bunnies !

This is handy - just discovered www.PhotoCollage.com

Been doing some last minute shopping today with Mrs S, total failure . I tell a lie, I brought a polo shirt in BHS. Yes they are still knocking stuff out. God was it hot in store, how the staff cope I don't know. I bet they can't wait for the sore to finally shut down.

Where these stores get their sizing from I don't as they all differ. Most stuff is made in either china or India, and I think they must base their sizing on them. Hopeless

I'm a size Large and most of my current M&S shirts, some of many years still fit. You try getting the same size now, no chance. Not a bit of give in the current offerings. The cloth must be cut to the bare minimum.

Just wait until my tailor here's about this

[Mervyn and Trish]

And whatever you buy they shrink at sea anyway

[Stephen]

Absolutely Merv. Thank goodness you have 30 days to send them back saying they shrunk in the wash

[qbman1]

But in your case - "shrunk in the North Sea" !

This is what we need - it's from Arcadia 1954

Bit weary, I was up until after midnight last night, playing Monopoly with two 17-year old Australians !!

[Mervyn and Trish]

But were they nice girls and did you pass Go?

[qbman1]

One girl, one boy, and I spent a lot of time in Jail !!
