Radio Officers Association jolly. Another one was due up in Liverpool in a weeks time but alas that's gone down the tubes due to the current situation. They've scheduled it for November, hopefully doable.

Had a lovely vidieo call with eldest son (he wasn't expecting that!) then banged my pans in the front garden with the rest of the street. Might move on to beeping car horns next week....

I got up this morning shuffling around as I twisted something in my back yesterday putting up an aerial. A rest day, I said to myself !!

After telling Amazon Alexa to switch on this, and switch on that, for a laugh … I said:

"Alexa, open the pod bay doors."
She not only refused, but called me Dave as well !!! (Try it and see.)

WOMEN !!! :eek:

Try saying "I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition" to it and see if you get a response.

My one and only venture into Twitter bots (@Withnail please note) was to respond to anyone tweeting those words with "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!!" together with a picture of the Monty Python crew. (I'd previously done one where anyone tweeting "Down with this sort of thing." got a "Careful now" as a proof of concept.)

Hoping for advice whether these are weeds or plants please? Very prickly...Appeared in sons garden and he doesn't know whether to dig up or not incase they take over the flowers due to come up ( The lady who he bought the house off seems to have got the landscaped garden planned so that various plants and bushes flower throughout the year. Interesting seeing different blooms appear since last June when he moved in )

It looks like gunnera. I have something similar, but it does spread so maybe take a few up to stop it choking the plants around it.

Thanks @Lucy :up:
Looking back at photos from last June, there was a very small clump of it , (with nice orange/pinky flowering plants , which you can just see the 'long pointy'leaves of amongst it .... ) beside it. It's spread a lot since then , so I'll tell him to get most of it out before it chokes the other plants.

The missus thinks it may be a variety of Tiarella which will flower (some of ours already are). And the ones at the front are Alstroemeria.

ETA Oops .... Didn't see the comment about it being prickly, so may be wrong about it being Tiarella.

I'm not sure how many albums Coldplay have but my neighbours have kindly played them all (very loudly and on repeat) all day long while I have been enjoying the sunshine...
