    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    Why don't airlines weigh the passenger together with their luggage? They could stipulate a maximum total weight... which would mean I could take an ENORMOUS suitcase on holiday. :biggrin:

    Ideas for shady front garden....

    If you did decide to remove your grass areas @machtucker, Hakonechloa makes good ground cover. I have it planted under an Acer in my lower garden shown below in summer, autumn and winter.
