I keep my plastic watering can indoors on the stairs … so I don’t have to bend right down to the floor to pick it up! :blue thumb: It has lasted...
My dad was admitted to hospital with a suspected heart attack … and it turned out the problem was an infected tooth. My sister similarly had an...
A dandelion’s leaves are not its best feature, for sure, @CostasK. I find self-heal and chickweed a bit of a pain. I allow the self-heal to...
Lordy, this thread has got scary! :biggrin:I like my current dentist. I was on his list at a Practice here and went in for my regular check-up...
I quite like dandelions! :) Pretty flowers in a long succession, fabulously fluffy seed heads. I swear if they were tricky to grow we would all...
@Ergates, the odd thing is since stopping seeing that dentist, I have never needed another filling. :scratch:
I have been diligently protecting my osteospermums from even a hint of frost since Nov, carting them to and from the garage if the forecast has...
I believe the No.1 reason for child hospital admissions is tooth extraction. Tragic.@pete, I think we had the same childhood dentist. I never...
Lovely and sunny … but oh so cold! Brrrr! Stepped outside, gathered a few leaves, came back in. We are mid-March and I’ve yet to really make a...

I’ll take high sugar content over any level of artificial sweetener content, @shiney. ;)When Coco-Cola was first marketed, it came in 200 ml...

Just imagine suddenly losing all the highly processed US company food products from UK supermarkets. People would be collapsing in the aisles...
I think it’s a bit more than that, @pete. It’s using oppression to stifle opposition or reasonable dissent. It’s allowing laws that benefit...
I suspect the world can no longer be “policed” anyway. That could get very uncomfortable if the number of authoritarian leaders rises.
Trump doesn’t necessarily want a deal that will crush Ukraine, but he doesn’t seem to care if that is the outcome. He is only thinking of the...
No geranium Rozanne here yet either. It’s been quite cold, so I’m expecting things to be a bit slow. The windflowers are only just appearing,...
I think what’s different now, @pete, is that the US wants a deal regardless of whether Ukraine ends up crushed and Russia more powerful. Previous...
@pete, pivoting of America away from a firm alliance with Europe and towards a sympathetic assessment of Russian actions/motives.Trump wants the...
I don’t think sanctions are effective now that “the west” is not a cohesive unit and given China is, if not supportive out loud, at least neutral...
