fatsia japonica

[shaneystar]

i have a huge fatsia in my garden which I would like to propogate.I have tried several times to grow a cutting from it with no success.It is now in bloom.Well bloom is not quite the right word.It has these large cream clusters growing up from the central stem.Can I take seed from these and try that or has anyone a better suggestion.Come in andyjevs your advice would be much appreciated !!

Thanks for all your good wishes. Swedie - I am one of the original Biddies and have always followed you lot around even though you don't see me. We have met before!! So watch out................ I wasn't always Lottie - in fact I have had several names (not because I use multiple names but because another ABer took great delight in being a pain in the neck. Not one of you lot though!!). I have never used more than one name at a time though!!

As for pegs - well I am ashamed of mine, some must be pre war (1914) and they are a sorry selection of plastic and wood with loads of broken ones in the bag which I should get rid of but somehow never do!!

Good Moaning....its bloomin Sunny.....
So can we call shaney and lottie "The norfolk broads" hahahahaha....!(� ) (.) (:O)

oooh... it's sunny... that's a sure sign it's going to rain...

Glad to hear you and Mr L are having better times, Lottie.

Pegs to creep out neighbours, and all in one colour too... http://16.media.tumblr.com/rX19MGJQd1hw6t2g7t4 z5zoX_500.jpg

Good day all. Am slowing getting used to this stupid new phone, but cannot find ringtones or much at all!!

I'm sorry Lottie I cannot have you on here with such awful pegs, please sort them out before your next visit, it grieves me to have to say this!! Most of my pegs are thrown to the ground now as I unpeg cos I'm scared of encountering another bee!!!

[swedeheart]

Oi, you keep your hands to yourself Vinny - I thought we agreed to drOOp the subject! Sympathy for the Devil is one of my Rolling favourites <3 and as for the shaman video it came close to one of my deepest interests. No not ayahuasca�! Not sure I want to elaborate on it here for all the world to see but it has to do with animal spirit guides, so it's shaman. (Incidentally I have this vision of you Vinny sitting down in front of a half-circle of Native American elders and one of them tells you you have sh1tehawk medicine, he he he.) Aww thanks so much for trying to solve my YouTube dilemma but as previously mentioned I really don't think there's a safe way to do it. I'd be happy to pay a monthly fee if they'd let me:(

Ha ha ha, Mick sits down just like a biddy at 2.31! I think he needs to borrow your chair Neti.

I cannot stop laughing at the image of you Jude in a hospital bed with a squint and still knowing that boy half a life later, it's such a testament to your outgoing personality that you would! But then you did see two of him, ha ha. Or not? I've never been sure how that works. Nah the brain probably adapts...? Well anyway trust me to post a cross-eyed bear�

Oh no not another mystery biddy� We already have jno running about with a bag on her/his head and genitalia � and now there's one in Norfolk too� Well Lottie you can get my email addy from any of the biddies if you want to tell me about it but if not I'll just think of you as loopy �sorry: Lofty�!

[swedeheart]

Paper bag, I should have said. Though come to think of it, as it's jno, it probably is a travelling bag;)

Evening Each
It's even more intriguing Kit about being in hos[ital with that boy. I had my operation and spent the next fortnight with both my eyes bandaged up so I couldn't see anybody except when I had drops put in my eye. I knew him because we used to play together in a little group you know how you do and I saw him on the day I went in. It was a very happy time after that for me because I remember a male nurse telling me when he took my bandages off that I was beautiful because my eyes were straight and to a little girl that meant a lot.

Anyway I hope you are all having a good weekend. It's been quite a nice day here not to hot with a nice breeze. Robi may say different!

Going to have a look at the Frost repeat tonight as I don't think I've seen it.

I think it's cup of tea time now

Take care bye for now x

Hi all its fine here too, bright and breezy. I have the carpet shampooer out afagin because tomorrow we are getting a real telphone man out to run us a couple of extensions. We have tried the plug in do it yourself kind but the base socket is in the hall and everytime one of us goes past it we knock the plug in bit and break it....about 10 (honestly) diy extensions later we have decoded to GILMI as we shuld have done in the first place. However we can't let the world know what a lousy housekeeper I am so out comes the jolly old shampooer...its really interewsting in a revolting sort of way what comes out of the carpet :-)
laters all

[shaneystar2]

Hi all
Bright and breezy here too, lovely and sunny .Good drying weather (as she pegs out in unmatching colours :)
Leg much better ,scabby scaly bits dropping off thanks to Diprobase . Just need to get the horrible swollen thick ankle sorted out .Bet you all really wanted to know that !

We haven't got any carpets Woofy only on the stairs . Just rugs everywhere else .Too much like hard work all that shampooing .When we moved in here we still had Shaney and it was ideal as he was a hairy monster :)
Hope you are all having a good weekend ..take care .

[LoftyLottie]

Evening all - Well it might have been bright and sunny a couple of hours ago Shaney but it's tossing it down now. So glad your leg is on the mend - good old Diprobase, eh!! :o).

As for housekeeping Woofy - what's that?!!!! I get worse at it as I get older. I just hate housework with a vengeance!!

I have just been on Youtube watching Thom Yorke at the Latitude Festival today (not far from you Shaney) and wishing I had been there. For those of you who know me well you will know how enraptured I am by Thom (Radiohead) and his marvellous music. (;o) ) However, I really don't think I could cope with a Festival these days with all me 'itisis!! My son and his girlfriend have been there since Thursday afternoon - oh to be young again!!!

Have actually spent most of the day asleep feeling somewhat under the weather.

See you soon.

[Robinia]

morning - a quick hello, I'm having real trouble getting past the first page on here & couldn't get in at all yesterday...just wanted to say I'm feeling really rough, don't know if it's me or the piggy flu, it's not unusual for me to feel like I've been steam-rollered. I'll be back when I feel better.

[Jude123]

Get well soon Robi

[Jude123]

Good morning Everybody hope you are all keeping well. The weather is not too bad today after a bit blowy and showery yesterday. Hopibg to go for a walk later today with my sister and her daughter and granddaughter if the rain keeps away.

See yer later 'gater(s) !

[swedeheart]

G'day Possums. I'm being dragged along to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince tonight, is there anything I should know in advance? I say "dragged" because I haven't seen or read any of the others so I'm not sure this one will make any sense to me at all...? I know he's an orphan and a student at Hogwarts and he has two friends - but that's about it. *gags Neti with duct tape* - no spoilers, woman, just some background facts - if I need any?

You made me listen to Thom Yorke last night Lottie, some song with the word clock in the title. That was good, his voice reminded me of Jeff Buckley here and there.

I don't wanna go down Swine Flu Road. Anyone wanna go live in a bunker with me until it's over? <clutches the spray bottle just in case Robinia tries to force entry> ...seriously though Robi get well soon/ xx.

[swedeheart]

(...disinfectant spray bottle, that is!)

[shaneystar2]

Them old steamrollers are a bgr Robinia .Take it easy ,plenty of hot lemon and honey for you my girl . Hope you feel better soon xx

[LoftyLottie]

Ah Swedey, the wonderful Jeff Buckley, another of my musical heroes. Have you heard of Neil Hannon (Divine Comedy). If not, have a listen on youtube -another amazing voice in my opinion.

Well Neti shamed me into buying some new pegs, but they had to be wooden - just don't like the tacky plastic coloured ones!!!! Did invest in some softgrip ones as recommended by Ribena!! My pegbag now has a new lease of life!!

See you soon folks.

[LoftyLottie]

Sorry, Robbie, get well soon xxxxx. I thought I might have the dreaded piggyflu yesterday but feel better today.

[netibiza]

ah I have finally managed to arrive. Had to sign in, go to H&G then recently etc and here I is! What a palaver!

Get well soon Robi and keep away from me, these computer viruses are terrible!! You need a bit more fat on yer bones to fit these infections. I've got some if you need it (and I won't want it back)

Hi all, well done lottie new pegs.

Hope you are feeling better aswell shaney

Sorry swedie have no idea about this new HP film (I get lost in them anyway) I just know it's to do with Snape, who(m) I think is gorgeous. I normally have these films before they are released but not this time!

Love to all unmentioned biddies ! catch yer laters!!
