Can’t Think of a Subject for a Thread…?

Luvaduck.

Oh Feelingmyage it will be well worth it when the flowers appear.
I will plant Morning Glory seeds next - has anybody grown those? It’s my first time.

Now loving my random duck ?

I might try Morning Glory but if it rains a lot they get spoilt so quickly. I’m going to do sunflowers for Ukraine and have some red, white and blue lobelia plugs to bring on for the Jubilee.
Who knew I could be political about plants ?

GrandmasueUK sorry to rain on your parade but is that a chicken? Correct me if I’m wrong. ?

Why are all the chickens, hens, ducks, flamingos, swans etc not placed together in the emojis? And why is Pingu the penguin beside the chickens?
I’m in a funny (not haha) mood. I need a glass of ?

Yes, I’ve read lots of her books.
But I’m ashamed to say that I can’t remember her name.
She is an amazing author

Oh I’ve already commented about that
Oh dear, Callistemon, you’ll have to bear with me…

Was it Eric Carle? (he's male)

He wrote 10 Little Rubber Ducks

The seeds are out of the packet and planted. There are sweet peas and marigolds. Now I’m talking to two black containers of compost.

I’ve been giving two pots of orchids a strong talking to. They’ve failed to produce any flowers for months and months. As advised elsewhere on GN I’m now giving them ice cubes. If they don’t buck up their ideas I’ll be telling them they’re on a one way trip to the compost heap.

My orchids had just started flowering again with more buds to come.
I decided to trim the dead stalks from one and accidentally chopped off one of the flowering spikes
It's lasting quite well in water ?

I grow Morning Glories and this year I have them sprouting in the greenhouse. I like going out in the morning to see how many have blossomed. I grew them up a drainpipe last year but they are going on my new fence this time.

I’m hoping to encourage them to grow up a bare trellis where I can see them from the kitchen Parsley.

It quite possibly is a chick ? not a duck ? but it was yellow and I wasn’t wearing my specs ??

Sue I’m pretty certain it’s a duck. It looks exactly like a traditional, yellow rubber duck; albeit a bit cuter.
Was it from Ocado?
I’m extremely tempted to get one myself.
(And I wonder why I can’t move for stuff)

Callistemon The author that I kept mentioning is the lady who wrote the Ukrainian tractor book.
I confused myself because I posted almost the same reply twice

This one. It saves me remembering how to spell her name

I got my yearly home insurance quote - and it is almost £100 less than last year!

I checked and it is correct ?
Good news, for a change.

Thank you for resurrecting this thread FarNorth
I noticed that the ‘sweary titled’ thread has now become a nice chatty place; but I balk a bit every time I see it (so uncouth!)

I had to insure my house with another company this week, and I too was surprised how reasonable it was!

Oh! And guess what is coming today! ?

Could it be a duck ?

Just a wild guess.

Yes!! Yes it is a duck!

I'm (as always) late to the party, so I'll go back and read about chickens and ducks before I join that chat.
But I did read your book FannyConforth many moons ago. I know I enjoyed it, but more than that I cant remember! That's the way it is with lots of books from.my past reading list nowadays.

I’m trying to work out why you’re so excited about getting a duck, Fanny.

‘Wise words, mate!’

I posted her name up thread I think FannyC

Yes, that book and author.
My friend said that paperbacks are meant to be read and passed on but there are some I keep and that is one of them!
