Garden centres are flagged to reopen here on 17th May. I really hope they do! Apart from the few things I've already said I want to buy, I broke my garden fork handle today. It's a new fork, bought when I was in England. Probably guaranteed for twelve months, but (a) I can't find the receipt, and (b) international travel may not be possible before any guarantee runs out.

So it looks like a new garden fork will be on my shopping list once the garden centres reopen.  

I could just buy a new handle, but (a) I'm not all that handy when it comes to fitting things like that, and (b) I might just confuse the sales assistant when I ask for one...

 

Oh, and all those tools and equipment you asked to send to you are intended to ship on the 18th. I guess I best cancel the order.

Oh... my bad.  

Not to worry. It all gets a bit confusing for older folk.

It has been a difficult day but if I'm quiet my head doesn't throb as badly.

Has anyone heard from Victor or Emi??

I sent a letter to Emi weeks ago and haven't had any reply.

Was hoping someone may have news on at least one of them??

Every year I send Emi poetry prompts for National Poetry Reading Month.  I contacted him at the end of March to see if he wanted me to forward the prompts to him still.  He replied right away that he did, but didn't make any other comment.

No, not in ages.   Both are still in school, right?

Hey Caz, no I haven't. I know Emi logged in a couple of months ago and that since his mother's death life was hard for him, the grieving, taking care of the home, his dad and family... I'm afraid his own life and desires aren't/can't be his priority

Although you had me rushing for the dictionary twice.

Once for 'pogonotrophy' - which I read as a completely different word to begin with
- and I'm not really a fan of mustaches, either... 

And once for 'imberb' - just to make sure it was genuine.

(I had a full beard for around 30 years - and also sported just a mustache for a year or two in my twenties.)

Oh. I hadn't noticed. Maybe because it became such a part of our vocabulary good day Gary, how are you today?

I'm doing well. I have close to full mobility in my neck, but it is still aggravating. I slept good too.   How's life going for you?

Please continue to take care. Think of your neck like COVID19, things might have begun to loosen up but continue taking precautions to avoid a flare up.

Great minds ... keep it up and we'll need to consider inducting you into the Wonder siblings ... ooooohhh, then we would be the Wonder Sextuplets.

Maybe, providing he remembered to put his pants on today ... uh Marty, you remembered, right?
