Good for you Geranium and this is good for all of us because Crocus deserve a rap over the knuckles. Lesley, it will all work for you. Are you having the same surgeon for your knee operation? The other one seemed to be successful. Yes Cherry, but it might be a different hospital depends which one comes up first.  |

I went to yoga before my breakfast yesterday. I might just keep it up when I get back. However, it was easier to motivate myself as the weather suits body movement. No bad knees since coming here, but my ankles are constantly swollen.
We had the champagne out last night again, because Jeremy passed big exams in skin cancer on the weekend, and yesterday he learned that he got the flying doctor job he applied for in Cairns.
I will wrap up now as I am going to Picnic Bay for lunch with one of the nurses, then back to Townsville for my last night. Four of my five grandchildren will be at dinner and Moira and Jeremy will be coming which is good for my case which is heavy.

Well done to Jeremy. I was right about the two orders coming at the same time - I had 5 boxes of plants delivered yesterday morning, which is excellent service, but there were two delivery notes and two charges. No reply from Customer Services yet.  I'll try a phone call today. |

Hope you get that postage refunded Geranium, especially when it was such a big order  |

Well, I won! ;D I had an email which says they'll refund one of the delivery charges, so I didn't need to don my battle clothes. I think the threat of speaking to the manager did the trick. I sent a message saying 'thank you'. |

Thanks - I really thought I'd have a bigger fight, but it was the principle rather than the money, although it'll buy another plant! ;D

NOT by mail-order this time! ;D Husband needed some boards to fill in the gap ar the end of the wall by his workshop, so we went to Minehead yesterday...the woodyard was next door to the (small) GC, but I came away empty handed! They didn't even have any Alliums.  |
