Strawberries

[shaneystar2]

This is their third year and I have lots of fruit already but they don't seem to be putting out any runners this year for me to pot on .They are not in the ground but in a strawberry pot and various other containers .Are they past their sell by date and shall I chuck them once finished fruiting and get new for next year ? I have had a few ripe fruits already and they taste OK !

[shaneystar2]

Well.. I've just thrown all caution to the wind and put the heating on ! Sod the expense .:))

[Robinia]

:o)

aaaah, just been watching Twiggy's Frock Exchange and a friend of mine was on it - making instant fascinator hats! Go for it gal!

[netibiza]

Good morning Biddies - my goodness you are all in the wars. Let's hope you all have a better day today. Sounds like you're living over here shaney that happens to us a lot but I also have a gas cooketer as well as leccy so at least the dinner gets done (assuming that the gas bottle dosen't run out at the same time!)

Come now Biddies, chins up and best foot forward. Oh by the way it's warm and sunny here and practically perfect weatherwise.

Daughter is here so won't be able to get on here much!

[netibiza]

Spoke too soon! After trying to submit that ^, the computer crashed. It happens all the time on AB!

[Robinia]

morning...just popped in while the washer does it's thing around the kitchen ...& the sun's shining so we don't need four candles here at the moment...

I finally rec'd a mail from youVin...mostly jargon & utterings about 'not liking the recipient'. Charming!! But in amongst it all was your message anyway, well one of them, so thanks. P'raps you need a different mail addy that's not run by touchy demons :o)

Now you tell us jno, I had that programme on but wasn't really paying attention. I did watch the next one after it though with Mary Quant, Biba fashion etc. What amazed me was how they went on about Biba being inexpensive....well dahn sarf maybe but for Nottingham it wasn't at all cheap, some of us were still knitting our own drawers...

when I did sleep, I had a dream (nightmare?) last night that some of the ABers met. oh gawd, what a shabby lot, hehe, they were all like grungy unwashed students (including me I might add, I'd gone in my old gardening togs). There was one rather nice guy that I did get along famously(!) with though, no idea who he was but I might scout around to see whether this plimsoll fits anyone out there. :o)

.......then I woke up & it was back to the living nightmare....hey-ho, spect we'll all survive...

and if anyone dares to sing 'you'll never walk alone' you're toast! very burnt toast!!

[VINNY100_2]

GUd Mornin..!
lovely sunny day.Glad you got it robi.(:O)
Nice dream,I was the one holding me beetroot..big long red thing...hehe..!must go on me roof to see if i still got any tiles up there.....later...long and winding road >>>>>>(:O)

[shaneystar2]

Morning all ..lovely day ...I missed Twiggy and the following programme because of the leccy debacle however Vinneeee you must watch Hugh Fearnley Eatitall on Thursday ..Guess what ..he's doing .........beetroot !
A new twist on cheese and pineapple ,beetroot ,stilton and pears and he's making beetroot chocolate brownies ...that I must see ! Yikes ...

she knew she'd done some filming for the show, Robinia, but didn't know whether it would be used or, if so, which episode it would be in (they wouldn't tell her anything). And no it's been on and seen by zillions all she could say was her haire was a mess...

Anyway, far be it froom me to put advertising on AB, but if anyone was to google Mary Jane's Mobile Millinery... (It's mobile because she'll turn up at hen nights and dinner parties and suchlike, arms laden with buttons and bows, and get everyone making their own hats). I'm not sure if this service is provided by candlelight; you'd have to ask her for non-flammable materials unless you actually fancied being a flame-haired beauty...

[netibiza]

shaney can you help with local xword, I need a 4 letter word for "not short" - - l l

and a 4 letter word for "backside" (i have but think it's wrong)
- r v e.

[swedeheart]

"Mary Jane" on wheels - what's that whooshing sound I hear... / Couldn't find her, jno - Google makes different choices in different countries. Could you post a link? After all, my vintage hat box that I was telling y'all about selling has moved up in the world and has now been admired by the manager for Louis Vuitton Stockholm no less, so I've been told. Just so you know who you're dealing with. Oh and jno I've a question in P&S, please reply?

Now now, maybe we shouldn't be so quick to rule CB out as an alternative to the biddy threads - they're shaping up aren't they, yes it's a zen garden there these days... rather like Robinia's dream, ha ha. (Did the nice guy look like Ewan McGregor and a pug?) Hope everything's not too grim Robi. I won't sing I won't sing I won't sing. That would be grim.

I've hit the knitting again; I blame you, Shaney.

They're turning my park upside down again, it's as if they're digging for bodies there every third month or so, jaysus...

[Robinia]

methinks neti's having a l_u_h...


ooh, travelling titfers, I like the sound of that, I've put her on my list of 'toooo-be-goooogled'...you never know one day I just might have the opportunity to be fascinating.

I'll send you a 'testing' mail Vincent... and a hefty cyber thwack
(if it had been TLAWR I'd probably be a sobbing wreck anyway :o)

<switches the toaster on to burn setting...won't be asking him to try the plimsoll on....

[Robinia]

hi Kit Ewan M? I'd settle for a guy that looks like a pug so long as he does as he's told...

where are Dolly & Jude?

[swedeheart]

Yes I was wondering too, Dolly always drops by whenever we start a new thread. Jude will be home again no doubt as soon as she's not a teenager anymore. Robi you're making us very curious!

[swedeheart]

(PS Ewan and pug was what Ed said people say he looks like.)

now don't tell anyone... I don't want to be thrown in the dungeon again, they're playing indie music down there now to break your spirits...

[netibiza]

I love hats but unfortunately my lifestyle doesn't call for them.. My sister wears them to Ascot and Goodwood and places like that, she has a huge collection of the things.

[swedeheart]

He he he, my lifestyle doesn't call for'em either, Neti... Nice site though jno.
