Blowing a gale outside!"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

There is a chance this weekend to see a supermoon (cloud permitting)
The live display from our weather station shows the wind at 13-20mph and gusting at 31mph. I had to go outside to rescue empty flowerpots and troughs being blown around and it's very unpleasant and quite cold. I've also had to close the windows a bit, too draughty, and put a sweatshirt over sleeveless teeshirt. Oh well, Midsummer's Day on Monday ....Originally posted by Caliban View Post
I turned on C4 racing to see how Petrushka's first horse got on .... lucky I hadn't been to the bookies
but how terribly sad that the winner collapsed and died of a heart attack (not following racing I don't know how common that is?)

I know they've been bred up for it and that, but I've never liked the gee-gees.Comment

Not common at all, Anna, and as you say, very sad indeed.Originally posted by Anna View PostI turned on C4 racing to see how Petrushka's first horse got on .... lucky I hadn't been to the bookies but how terribly sad that the winner collapsed and died of a heart attack (not following racing I don't know how common that is?)
I just hope EdgeleyRob had better luck with his selections than I did. An embarrassing situation just collecting your money back on a non-runner.
And then Ryan Moore wins on a horse he wasn't down to ride having originally been due to ride on my non-runner!
Not happy.
Back on topic, been raining on and off here and windy with it.Last edited by Petrushka; 22-06-13, 17:12."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Well done Anna in your garden. That sounds like a very productive week.
I've been meandering along the south coast (of England) all week, and the weather has been mixed. Some days have been very hot, as, coming from the frozen north, 25 C is very hot! Today was much cooler, with very high winds. However, I have not yet seen any rain, during the day, though some has obviously fallen at night.Comment

It's been really hard work, but the transformation is well worth it.
Hope your holiday, although mixed weather, is proving enjoyable in The Deep South (are the Natives friendly?) To be honest, if I hadn't designated today as R&R I would be mightily teed-off about the weather although the wind has now died down.Originally posted by mangerton View Post
Well Petrushka - I guess you won't be buying that boxed set you wanted with your selections today ......Originally posted by Petrushka View PostAnd then Ryan Moore wins on a horse he wasn't down to ride having originally been due to ride on my non-runner!

I asked this morning at my local St Sprees about those salad things in growbags you mentioned a while back, and they said they hadn't heard of them, and that in any case there probably wouldn't be much call for them in London.
When I mentioned that a friend had managed to buy them in Wales, the manager answered, "Well, Wales is in another country innit!"

Crikey BBM, I most sincerely hope I'll see the fruits of my labours not just a maybe (just)!!Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View Post How old do you think I am? Should I prepare my shroud in case I am struck down amidst the beans, maybe with a stake through my heart, or strangled by a Scarlet Emperor? (Of course, there is that old song: She sits amongst the cabbages and peas ..... )
S_A, I checked St. Sprees website that they stocked living leaves before I mentioned them here. Obviously Londoners are not not so into lettuce as the healthy living greens munchers of Wales!Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostAnna

Honestly, I cannot believe neither you nor Saly could get them, The Living Leaf Co. that produce them say all the major supermarkets stock them.

There you are Anna, much the same response here. But my badly spaced typing gave Cali a chance with his Justin Wales joke.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostAnna

Modest profit of £26 for a tenner staked,enough for a couple of Weinberg cds.
So sad to hear about the death of the Cecil horse Sir Thomas Chippendale.
When did the Saturday of the Ascot meeting become Royal ?,I'm sure it wasn't always so.Comment
