Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 @Clive it’s Lampranthus spectabilis or Trailing Ice Plant. Says collect the seed pods once they dry and turn reddish brown. Store in an envelope or jar until ready to plant Great app, the top portion is the pic I took underneath are examples and info. Very handy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very handy. Go for it .....the collection and storage of the seed heads of that flower are straight forward, next year you can have a garden full of them.....Best of luck. The Peony has started to bloom too, so bad weather definitely on the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Off to the airport in a moment to collect my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. M/law had a fall last week in Italy (she's 86) , in hospital the prognosis was multiple fractures in her shoulder socket. We wanted her to stay there and have it done (operation) but she wanted to come back here (she lives 50/50 Italy and England). So my S/law had to fly out on Tuesday and they're coming back today. She's been fitted with a shoulder harness so she could fly and then when I get her back to her house my wife and her sister are taking straight to A&E , I see much aggro this weekend as they haven't told her their plans yet 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it hasn’t they will send her away to go and see the GP. If that’s the case then a discharge letter from the hospital and the X-rays should be handed over for her to bring back for expediency. The plane may not let her board without a fit to fly letter from the hospital, although that’s easily got around with some fibs like the shoulder harness is for arthritis. Basically everyone needs to be singing from the same hymn sheet to get on the plane and get treated quickly. Sounds shit either way so good luck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Just got back from testing out my new lid. Head butted a few flies. I’m chuffed to bits with it though, very comfy, light and quiet. As I got home the youngest phoned to be picked up so I jumped on the bike and grabbed my Viper lid. So going straight from the C3 to the Viper and the difference was amazing. For the lid test I went up the Chequered Flag (Slag) as it involves a blast along the Liskeard bypass. 10 miles at 70 to 80 mph. Impressed with how quiet it actually was. As I pulled into Chequered Slag a BMW guy came in behind me, as I got off and said hello, he just turned his back, nice! Nothing has changed there then Anyway had a cuppa and headed home. Unfriendly BMW guy had a nice bike, no wonder he wouldn't lower himself to speak to a Honda Jockey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well she had paperwork from the hospital in Italy so she flew and is in A&E in Southmead at the moment. They are sending her for x-rays right now even though she brought her x-rays from Italy with her 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it’s because there’s an angle missing that needs checking or that would change the type of surgery needed or increase/decrease the surgical skill level required for surgery. Mostly it’s just because the X-rays aren’t very clear, people are rubbish at keeping still when they’re in pain Good she’s being seen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 Munter update......apparently she's going off it in Madrid! They can't find a place for Jake in any school.......so that's giving her an opening to put her plan into operation. Which is to drag them back into that Polish ghetto! I've spoken to the British Embassy (cos he's a dual national) but they've advised me that the school has no obligation to provide a place until the child is 6. So he's a year away from that. I'm pursuing other options as well.......need to know basis and all that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I’ve been in the cult of Apple for about 15 years and it’s great kit- so long as you stay within Apple world. The compatibility with non apple devices and the clunky functionality with some websites etc has finally got the better of me. So a windows laptop has been ordered. I will be able to route plan and transfer it easily to my Zumo and have a laptop for travelling with Really looking forward to seeing how it’s changed in the last 15+ years! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
