Nothing about the Royals

This thread is nothing about the Royal Family.

Here is a joke -

Helvetica and Times Roman walk into a bar.
“Get out of here”, shouts the barman, “We don’t serve your type in here”

And a pretty picture -

Did you hear about the guy who
invented the “knock knock” jokes?
He won the ‘no-bell’ prize

I googled meteorite and got a surprise. So did DH. You have to wait a couple of minutes.

‘Our’ very tame blackbird has suddenly reappeared after going awol for months. I thought that he’d met his Waterloo as he had looked rather bedraggled before he disappeared, but he looks really fit and well and came straight up to me when I opened the back door. It’s made my day!

Right, here goes!

I have two tins of Quality Street hidden in the old hot water tank cupboard. No-one would ever think of looking there. wink

Ah ha! All I need to do is find your address and the hidden treasure is mine!

I have just padlocked it. I am not sharing with anyone.... well apart from DGD, who loves the orange ones! wink

Elegran Sat 07-Jan-23 14:48:35

And just search for meteorite, don't elaborate.

Me neither. I even search for Meteorite, urban myth, but got nothing.

You just wait a little while and then.....

It just tells me what a meteorite is Don’t get it

Did you just get the Google list page and then wait? If you move on from the list page to one of the links, it doesn't work. Be patient.

Expecting a DGC over later for a sleepover! 🙂

It's gone really dark outside.

I grew some oranges and lemons from seed years ago, they didn't do much but they were quite decorative.

It’s grey rainy and cold here but two dog training classes indoors mean that overgrown teenage hooligan will be exhausted when we get home.
I’ll lite the fire and read my murder mystery 🍾

Thank you Callistermon. That is how I currently prune my Winter Jasmine. I am interested to hear how severely Nordstat pruned hers. I would always prune in the spring though, not October.
Minimoon last spring my daughter planted a lemon tree in a large pot. Surprisingly, it produced four lemons at the end of last year. smile

Sarah75 the lemon tree is in our conservatory/porch. We also have an orange tree that is flowering again too.

For my birthday in December my DD bought me a tin of Quality Street, but instead of Quality there was my name. It was full of green triangles and the purple ones. I still have a few left.

What a lovely cheerful thread!
