This is their third year and I have lots of fruit already but they don't seem to be putting out any runners this year for me to pot on .They are not in the ground but in a strawberry pot and various other containers .Are they past their sell by date and shall I chuck them once finished fruiting and get new for next year ? I have had a few ripe fruits already and they taste OK !

Well, kit I think I am fluent in Spanish but no one understands me, so I insert lots of English words and gesticulate wildly with my hands, so that and my natural charm gets understood, and if that fails, I SHOUT at them.

Afternoon, biddies. Slept with the window open last night, I'm not sure what season it is over here really. Maybe I'm not in Kansas anymore at all - there are pink elongated balloons hanging from one of the trees in my park, I see it from my window even as we chat, it's like Glinda The Good Witch had a wet dream. (Another hen party no doubt, my little park seems to be where they all start out (SoFo being jammed with bars and pubs and restaurants.)
ROTFL at that Netiesque comment - "I think I'm fluent but no one understands me" ha ha ha... Actually a good trick is to speak in your own language... When tourists ask for directions and I start to reply in English, if I notice that their English is very bad I will almost always swap to Swedish ( + gestures) instead because it's easier for me to use prosody and stuff in my own language and that makes the message more comprehensible to them. They probably think I'm an idiot but hey it gets the job done.
Aww Vinny, your dad... I'm not so sure I think he looks Nordic on that particular piccy but I have noticed that you do (did), a bit, and also your... cousin, was it? the gentle-looking doctor of ancient history you posted (or maybe you just posted his name and I did the snooping myself, I don't remember, but I saw his photo) - yes there's definitely a Viking trait. I'm trying to figure your dad's aura out, it's strong but what is it. I wouldn't be surprised if you told us he wanted to be a singer or a dancer or an actor or something, but felt as if he had had to give it up, I get those vibes from the photo. And a scent of an after shave with notes of rosemary, very nice, very clean. There, psychic reading done.
Must go find the Carrot Cake Tree. (Well if there's a *bleep* tree...)

Considering how good I am with words it's a mystery how bad I am with words... Certainly didn't mean your dad looked beaten, Vinny, if it sounded like it - more that I get that strong dreamer's feeling - and that's a good thing in my book.
Hi Shaney, you're quiet lately, are you feuding over at Q&P... you need any help, just tell us, we'll stab them with our knitting needles if they're mean to you.

My dad reckoned if they tied my arms or hands down I would be struck dumb .
No feuding in Q&P (well there are one or two grumpy old men but they can't help it :)
He did put a pink box up about it yesterday and got all of four answers and one those was from he who must be the centre of attention so I don't think there is much interest .

I've looked at that picture and he reminds me of a film star. Now do you think I could think of said film star ....but it's just come to me ..Douglas Fairbanks Jr.
