Hope all goes well with planting your plants @Cleoriff which I`m sure you`ll be looking forward to doing.
Suppose I ought to get in touch with my gardener to ask him to come and mow the lawn some time soon. Me and gardening don`t get on - so you won`t find me pottering about - green fingers I ain`t.

They've just messaged me @Mi-Amigo everything is in stock (annoyingly) which means they will come earlier than expected. Problem is with Whitsun coming up, I didn't want to risk stuff being out of stock.
Pity the garden isn't big enough for a greenhouse.
Ah well, better book my son to help with planting.

Might be annoying to have to get stock in early @Cleoriff but at least you have your son well trained
And I`ve just had a phone call from my carers manager. My carer who normally does my shopping today has gone down sick [nothing too serious thankfully] so can`t do my shopping until Saturday. So gonna have to have a "eat what`s left in the fridge" tonight. Thankfully, I get a chip supper tomorrow night so just gonna have to suffer tonight

I've been off for a while as it's Ray's birthday and our eldest has been here with cards and presents..
Then the grandson has just messaged me and he's furious. He should have been given his last exam paper 3 weeks ago....and it's only just arrived.
He has to answer 7 questions, (1500-2000 words for each question) and show references etc.
Got to be in within 24 hrs!!
It will be a 20 hr job. This is his last paper before he ends University. Damn disgusting!!

Happy birthday Ray.
For your grandson to only just receive the 7 questions for his exam is disgusting; and to expect him to write answers of 1500-2000 words for each in 24 hours is an almost impossible task.
I wish him well and hope when he gets the results he gets the credit he deserves.

To be honest, I felt like asking him, why he hadn't mentioned it to Uni before now!!
However, I know he did another 20 hr exam last week. It was his dissertation which was held via Zoom! All 5 judges had a copy of his work, which he had to read and do a powerpoint presentation.
He was expecting to be finished at Uni by Tuesday.
It appears now, he will be finished tomorrow!!
