Limpy, I'm glad you put the lamb in the hotpot this time!! ;D

Thanks Pixie - Luckily the slow cooker is nowhere near the fridge, so danger averted, phew!  ;D

CLKD.......how do I get my orchids to re flower. I cut back the stems and sealed the ends but so far nothing is happening.

Any advice gratefully received.

What type are they?

Moth orchids are easy - cut back the stem once it's stopped flowering, water well and leave for 3/4 months.
The other types take longer.  We gave M in L a large cymbidium for her 70th - she died aged 82 2 years ago and 2 weeks ago it put out a flower spike - probably because I threatened it with the compost - the first time it's flowered since her 70th  ::)

Job done
Tomorrow need to put out the geraniums if it's warm enough for a good soak then cut them back
Tomorrow I need to  :-X

... I have to ask.... how do you get six loads of washing from two people or have you been on holiday and I've missed it?

Nope - away soon  :-*

We have several sheets to put through at 60 which takes ages.  Plus a lot of warm weather clothing which needs gentle washing and a wool wash - 4th sheet is whizzing around right now  ::)

Bed made.  Cosy, ready to get into after my bath.

Tomorrow - out in the garden if it remains warm enough!
