What a lovely post @Victoria

Great to see non U.K. posters as I like to hear about the weather, seasons and plants in other climates.

 

Can someone help me please? I am a newcomer and trying to find my way around the site. I am watching this thread but when I click on Watched Threads it doesn’t show up .Anyone know why please? Can I bookmark this thread and if so, how? Thank you.

 

I puzzled over that @Songbird … then I saw ‘Bookmark’ at the foot of the posts (bottom left). I’ve clicked on that and am crossing my fingers that’s the thing to do

 

I can only see a bookmark to bookmark the poster @Dovefromabove and that’s towards the middle of the blue box where your name is. Thanks anyway.

 

Well I’ve found Wakey Wakey not sure if I’m going to get this post up but here goes

 

Hello @Yviestevie … very good to see you

 

Its not something I do, I just use the new posts button at the top, or if I want to go to a specific thread I just get to it via "forums", I know it all looks complicated but I guarantee if you stick with it you will find the ways that are best for you, in a couple of weeks you will have it sorted, its a bit like driving a new car, after a while the old one would be strange if you got into it.
Watch thread only works when a new post is there, so you can still use that as well, you get an alert when that happens.

 

Thanks for the info @pete. So a watched thread doesn’t necessarily show up on watched threads unless a new post is there? That’s useful to know. Thanks for the heads up about the New Posts too, will keep an eye out there. Thanks again.

 

Good morning all ☕️
Blackbirds are singing and as the night fades a mass of Ice Follies daffs are appearing out of the gloom on the bank up the rise .,, hope everyone’s had a restful night … @Punkdoc have you found this thread yet?
ETA … ah yes … of course you have … I’d not realised it was this thread you’d posted on … still stumbling around a bit here … but things can only get better … eh

 

Good morning @Dovefromabove and all to follow. Up early for me, someone coming at 9am to dig out a tree stump and roots . OH still fast asleep, so I've got some quiet thinking time to myself. Always a good start to the day!

 

Good morning @Nel_Staffs Hope the stump digging goes well

Hade a bit of a nose around here and see that @Upsydaisy is poorly … do hope things are easier today.

 

A very good morning one and all. I checked my feet this morning and so far I haven't developed any webs, though how I haven't is beyond me. Yes, its raining again. I am thinking of paying a visit to my local nursery - noted for being the cheapest in my area. I promised an elderly neighbour I would get him a Sarcococca for his front garden and I am after some Aubrieta. The last time I was there I bought some wonderful eggs and for the first time in millenia I have had eggs with double yolks! May have to get some more!

 

Definitely the time of year for double yolkers @Ladybird4 … enjoy

 

I'll pick your brains here @Dovefromabove as I know you are a baker. If a recipe requires 2 eggs for example, and you get one big egg with a double yolk would that do? I'm erring on the side of 'no' though theoretically you could end up with two double yolkers i.e. 4 eggs.

 

Hi everyone, after lurking on Hello Forkers (a GW thread) for years, I’m going to be brave and become a contributor instead! It’s dry here in South Devon at the moment but it looks a bit grey so I’m not holding out much hope.
Dog walks at the moment mean squelching through mud … yesterday I walked around our local lake at Stover and I think I’ll go back there today. It’s the least muddy place at the moment and there’s an interesting battle going on with the resident swans as 4 new adult swans have arrived and the male swan is spending his whole time trying to drive them off, poor chap.
On a sad note, I have to pick up our beloved Westie’s ashes from the vets today as he was put to sleep last Wednesday, he was 15 and we miss him so much. I ordered the rose, Little White Pet, from David Austin which was delivered yesterday, a perfect rose as a memorial to him.
Hope I haven’t rambled on too much folks
