despite the power outages lol

I prefer pearls Deb but generally stick with gold hoop earrings and gold wedding ring only - digging in the garden can be dangerous lol

I have lost a few pearls and rubies in the garden, but not my diamonds yet lol

Thanks Deb - will head off now

Just heard that Ian Turpie died today.

Catch up later 

awwww that is sad news about Ian Turpie

Oops Deb - think I was behind the times or listening to a rebroadcast of an old news item - he died back in 2012 apparently.

Just had to pop back and correct my misinformation - byeeeeee

oh lol. so he did I thought he'd been in the news before, still sad though

I'd better get moving here too, have just been packing my parcels and getting ready to post,

have a good day Laney!

well it's a warm one here, I hope my daughter is doing OK in her exam. It's a 3 hour one today

Good afternoon Stringers 

How did your daughter's exam go today Deb?

Hope the 'veil of ignorance' did not drop on her when she walked into the venue

Well, I achieved very little today - not what I had planned - there is always tomorrow though lol

Think I overdid the gym/swim this morning and plan on having a day off tomorrow.

I keep seeing all the pruning I did yesterday and thinking I should get out and do something with it all then I get a fit of the 'can't be bothereds'.  There is a limit to how much rosemary you can use lol lol

I did go to the nursery today though (that is my alternative to your clothes shopping) and bought a few things so planting will be the order of the day tomorrow (and a few more dreaded fish ferns :-()
