My Ocado order has just come.  No missing things for a change.

This afternoon I might go to a plant sale the U3a are having.   
Personally I'd have thought it a bit too early in the year for sales, as people tend to have surplus plants later in the year, when their seedlings and cuttings are ready to plant,   not this early.

Why?   What do you mean?  Who told you that?  

That is enlightening and educational.  Let me see if I have got it right.

People from other countries can enter our country legally.  In fact, we go out into the Channel to help them.
Once here, we are obliged to house them, look after them in every way and even pay them money.
In order to help further we pay our friends, the French, to assist them and their boats on their way here.
It appears that we cannot award them citizenship for several years, though I'm not sure for how long.
Once awarded citizenship, they can vote and take part in the running of our country.

Please tell me that this is not the actual case, or confirm that I seem to understand the system.

(Yes, I know it's nowt to do with Waitrose).

I've had a couple of crowns. It may be a faff but they last. I had one free because I was under 18 and it's still there. Fillings can and often do fail.

I know the feeling, not much fun

I am having a crown fitted to one of my front teeth.. The tooth has a crack through it..

The dentist has put a temporary crown in place.. I didn't realise what the procedure would entail..
Lots and lots of filing down.. and jets of water ... and that bloody suction thing.. nearly sucked my tonsils out..!!!!
I thought it would be a ten minute job.. no way.. 

Out popped the newborn, with bright red hair
All Ned could do was stand and stare
The smile on his his face was dead and gone
And a sigh from local window cleaner Ginger John

Might clean the windows today.. and do a bit of weeding..
