  1. Mine will from now on. Actually, I'm surprised there were no daffodils in the garden when I bought this house. Several people around the village have told me just how proud of her garden was the old woman who lived in it all her life.
  2. Greetings, young Albert!
  3. In spite of the fact that it was very late (just before Christmas) that I planted my daffodil bulbs, twenty of the twenty-one clumps that I planted have shoots well above ground, and it looks like most of them will be opening their buds in the next week or so. I'm fairly hopeful the final clump will eventually send up shoots.
  4. And you, bro! Nice enough day here, as well. Which wasn't what was actually forecast. About 6°C/43°F and dry for much of the afternoon. I've managed to get some work done in the garden; mainly clearing old root stumps that I didn't get round to removing last year.
  5. Probably the tailor bird https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_tailorbird
  6. I was thinking along the same lines myself...
  7. Cod! What busy little bees you and mum have been today!
  8. Take things easy, bro.
  9. They got no reason to live?
  10. Homicidal maniac was what I was thinking.
  11. O M C . . . Albert is turning into Drew!
  12. Happy Wednesday, everyone! It's raining here, and we've a Status Yellow wind warning in place for the whole country until 7:00am tomorrow morning, with gusts expected to reach around 90 to 110 km/h (55 to 70 mph). Forecast is for the rest of the week to be unsettled, with a fair bit of rain. So I don't think I'll be getting a lot of outside work done over the next few days. The good news, though, is that present indications are that the weather will settle down again after the weekend, with next week seeing much less wind, and lots of dry weather.
  13. Quite correct, bro.
  14. Thanks for that memory, Albert! I was actually teaching second level in England when that song was first released, and I could relate to the sentiment expressed in it. And it wasn't just the girls who occasionally tried to get too close to me.
  15. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd you, bro!
  16. I think you'd been drinking when you took that photo, Albert... It's definitely not me. I've no tattoos.
  17. I actually got it in a black bin bag full of unsold items at the end of a jumble sale. Whole bagful only cost me 50 pence.
  18. Bonsoir mon frère!
  19. And I'm sure she's also seen you laughing along with the rest of us.
