      The robin was back again following me around, not quite getting in the way.

        A lorry pulled up outside this morning and a scrap man came over and enquired whether I had anything I wanted rid of. He declined to take OH, but he was delighted when I asked him to take away the Espace that's been sitting on the drive for about 6 years, to be used for spare parts. Instead of having to pay someone to take it away, I made some pocket money and I've got a lovely, uncluttered drive instead of a wasp hotel :hapfeet: Happy doesn't begin to describe it!

                Where to start? I had a brain scan and they found one! It seems to be functioning as well :biggrin: The weather is perfect for gardening, sunny but cool, and the ground is damp, so lots of planting going on. OH spent a happy couple of hours mooching round Noz (the cheapest, lowest-of-the-low bargain basement of a 'shop' in France) and bought me a short-handled shovel, so I can shovel my mulch more easily. The kindness and thoughtfulness of that man never ends....
                Our two-hour midday cheap-rate electricity was restored on the 15th, so I can get back into my routine of using machines and appliances during the day if I need to.
                Lots of other, trivial things too. Every little helps :biggrin:

                    I went into the kitchen at work to make myself a cuppa. A younger colleague was in there. When he greeted me, he addressed me as 'young man'.

                        I have clicked the 'ignore' button for two irritating members on here and it has made me HAPPY because I don't have to see their sensless gabble ever again, even if I never read it it was there but now I don't see it and I am HAPPY.

                              A Euphorbia I thought had been killed in the frost is still alive and sprouting new shoots. I was about to put it in the recycling bin.
                              Another one is dead but I have found a cutting of it in a cold frame alive and well.
