Oh, there are always choices ...

Multiple ones?

No, but there is a multi-page questionaire.

   That could be a mood killer....

[dughlas]

Of course, without multiples there would be no choice.

For Albert's sake, I hope the questions are all multiple choice....

I'm not sure about that.

As I understand it, a single choice means something like yes or no - or stay or go - or true or false.

In which case multiple choice would mean that there are more than two options.

At least that's what I remember being told when I studied logic when I was in the sixth form many, many years ago...

But I could be completely wrong. Maybe my memory is not what it used to be. Could be I'm mixing up choices with options...

Maybe we should ask @Drew Espinosa (our resident mathematician?) for his opinion....

Okay, now my head's hurting. Think I'll go for a walk down the country lanes for an hour or so to try to clear it.

Catch yous all later, gang!

How is your garden doing Clo well I hope 

Ugh, don't ask...

The spinaches are being devastated by bugs, aphids apparently. They lay the eggs at the base on the back of the leaf at the base of the centrale nerve, then a "bubble" appears in the center of the leaf with the larva inside... The first harvest was good, dad had it for dinner last week. 

The tomatoes are doing very well, I've already planted one in its final home yesterday. 

Lot of biiig strawberries will be good to pick in a couple of days!

The zucchinis plants have lot of soon to be flowers.

The watermelons, basil, Cayenne peppers and cherry tomatoes are growing slowly imo but surely.

Oh and as I reused the soil from the cherry tomatoes from last year to plant the new strawberry plants in new planters and at the end some tomatoes had rotten I have cherry tomatoes plants sprouting in the middle of the young strawberry plants

I hope yours will come out of the cold weather not to damages 🤞

Ummmmm... yeah well... you might find a visit here a bit stressful. Although saying that most of our animals are nocturnal so you might see the cute quokka on Rottnest Island or kangaroos at sunset but the rest are safely sleeping (usually).

Hey, Buckie.

I'm back from mine. Got sidetracked, checking on the kittens in the wall, and ended up replanting some mini roses I bought. They are in tin pails now, and I think I'm going to try wintering them inside this year.  We finally made it out into the woods for some stick throwing.

Since the weather peeps cant get a weather prediction correct it was 42 F this am

It takes about 10,000,000 calculations to make a one-day forecast, so I wouldn't be too hard on them. They can't be perfect.

A rendezvous in the bushes can be fun.    Just put down a blanket, and beware of poison ivy and oak.

Back from mine, as well. It was a gentle walk down quiet country back lanes, where I dawdled looking at spring flowers in the verges and hedgerows (including buttercups, lady's smock, vetches, herb Robert, dog daisies, and wild strawberry), watching lambs gambol in the fields, and listening to the birds (the cuckoo was noisy this evening).

The "Map my Walk" app on my phone gave the following stats:-

Spoiler

(That's just a few yards over 3 miles, and a pace of 24 minutes 54 seconds per mile for those of you who haven't metricated yet 😛 )

Of course I couldn't resist taking some photographs, in spite of the fact that it was drizzling rain most of the walk.

Here's a photo of some of the dog daisies:-

Spoiler

And here's one of some wild strawberry flowers. I can't wait till the fruits form next month. They may be small, but their taste is exquisite and put cultivated strawberries to shame.

Spoiler

And, towards the end of the walk, the clouds obligingly parted just sufficiently to allow the setting sun to make itself known...

A perfect end to a perfect day!

Looks lovely, Marty.      I love making strawberries into jam, and I have a recipe for strawberries and rhubarb stewed in balsamic vinegar, which is excellent on top of ice cream.

We're doing well here, thanks. Salisbury steak and potato gratin were had for dinner.

I didn't bother with dinner today. I met an old friend for a late breakfast near the middle of the day (or brunch, if you like) and consequently didn't fancy a large dinner. I had two slices of homemade wholemeal bread with homemade raspberry jam, and a fresh fruit salad (sliced apple, pear & banana, with a handful of fresh blueberries) instead.
