Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Was really pleased it’s started to dry up a little here but then hubby emptied out my containers of rainwater and now I’m praying for rain to fill them up again lol. Had 4 days in Whitby and boy has the garden grown when I came back. The bush full of little buds has sprung into life and is full of w...

Re: NHS Dentists in Scotland?
I agree Colin. It’s a very practical job that requires hands on training. Specialisms may require the degree route. They changed my old nursing vocation to a degree qualification and I have seen it degrade the work that is done. Students come to clinic and don’t want to get their hands dirty, litera...

White fluff
I put some of my houseplants outside when we moved last year, all excited about having a garden and the weather being lovely, I thought they’d appreciate it. The issue is I have not got an infestation of greenfly and some tiny white fluffy thing that doesn’t seem to move but congregates on one leaf ...

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
I can’t believe how wet this spring is. I sincerely hope it improves soon. I refuse to go out in a soggy wet garden to get rained on. Might have to try a vertical planting system in the conservatory at this rate.

Re: solar irrigation system

Re: August 13th 2023
LOL OH.
I suspect Stravaig is on the button though.
I’m currently locked out of my uni account because of one of those blasted updates. Seemingly I don’t’ exist anymore. Microsh.. oft, always something when they do an update.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Switched the heated propagator off today as it’s been reasonably warm, for here anyway. The seeds planted off the heat are doing just as well as those planted with the benefit of some heat. It’s all so exciting having a garden again. Sadly the local cats are used to using our raised beds as litter b...

August 13th 2023
I note it says below
“Most users ever online was 627 on Sun Aug 13, 2023 8:43 am”
That’s quite a leap from the usual. Wonder what was so special about that day?

Re: NHS Dentists in Scotland?
It’s lovely to have a job you love so much, so many people don’t get that. I’ve also been lucky enough to do jobs I loved throughout my life, bar an ill advised stint as a driving instructor *shudder*. Work has never seemed like work, even on the bad days

Re: NHS Dentists in Scotland?
Given the nature of the job and the weather they have to work in I agree OH. A bit like people who work on roads repairing them, working in such awful weather is hard on the body.

Re: Never have your dog stuffed
Love M.A.S.H. Showing some age there I think. A bit like the recent research that shows songs are becoming simpler, repetitive and self-absorbed. I think TV is also doing this. Why I like watching old TV reruns (including Hong Kong Phooey, Wil O’ the Wisp, Moomins and Bagpuss to name but a few, I do...

Re: NHS Dentists in Scotland?
Totally agree Westi. I was a non human nurse for 30yrs. You worked what was needed and knew what you were signing up for when you took the job. Difference being I was private sector so no union and no sick pay or other benefits. Our successive Governments have led to bloated legislation that no-one ...
