Shame, I’d have paid to see that.

Last night TFD asked me to remind him in the morning and I said I would, if I remembered. Amazingly, this morning I have remembered to remind him.

The trouble is, I can’t remember what it was I was supposed to remind him about. And he can’t remember what it was either.

Send help. Or gin.

No, send both.

Helpful Gin?

Gin is always helpful

Swap you a gin for a bacon buttie?

Bacon butties are also helpful, I find.

Could be worse. You could have scribbled a reminder about it on a bit of paper, and now both be looking at something which says GERANIUMS and wondering what you meant.

Or a phone number with no name attached, which leaves the option of ringing it, saying who you are and hoping that the person at the other end will somehow know what you wanted.

How are the geraniums?

Leggy, and I have no idea how to prune them.

(Which is probably why they were written on the piece of paper, but was it because I had thought of someone who might help? Or somewhere to look for advice? Dunno.)

Cut each stem about a third of the way down just above a pair of leaves

Simple and it will make em grow bushier

Thank you. I have done that, and then given them some water and a tiny bit of plant-feed in it so they don’t think I hate them…

That’s what they need

They are waking up after winter

They haven’t been asleep, because they are indoors. This may be why they had got out of hand.

I had an email from the NHS this afternoon saying that, if I got Covid, I would be eligible for the drugs to treat it.
I am being sent NHS LF tests, & am to use those, & report the results on the NHS website.

They will not accept results from tests bought from the Pharmacy.

That’s been standard since the beginning. Commercial sale standards are looser than NHS.

Up to now, I have only used NHS tests, & was quite cross when 2 full boxes had to be thrown, because they were out of date, & didn’t work.

I had a feeling that I was supposed to be entitled to the free tests, but bought a box from the Pharmacy in case I ran out.
