Have any of you lovely gardeners hard pruned, into old thick wood, any of the following shrubs and had them live to see another year?!! I read all the books but there's so much conflicting advice when it comes to renovation pruning.

Olearia haastii (Daisy bush)

Lonicera fragrantissima (winter honeysuckle - think this one will be ok)

Cotinus (smoke Bush).

Tecumseh Petrol Mower

Property theft

i am ashamed to say that when the dentist said I just have to drill this tooth a bit, that I started whimping and slid right down the chair, and she said, Neti (not) the tooth is overhere with me! she was sitting at her bench with the offending tooth in her hand! Talk about embarassed!!!!

Oh poor, poor Neti. I really feel for you. Hope you feel better soon.

Shaney today we have had sunshine and showers and blooming hail storms and gales on occasions. Not enough rain to soak into the ground though.

I am ironing between sitting down and having cups of tea. Have to get some clothes ready to go on holiday next Friday.

So sorry you have had to go through it again Neti. I really hope that's the worst over now. Mr N should mollycoddle you a bit now.

Mollycoddle? Mr N - that's a laugh, he paying 230€ for it, that's his "mollycoddling"!!

Am going to watch the Eurovision Song contest tonight, look forward to it, although we have the stupid spanish commentator and it drives me mad!!!!!!

Many years ago we were out walking the dog and I fell into deep rocky swampy mud....really coated in it and bruised all over. DH's response "oh get up you are fine"
It's a good job I love him :-)
Neti do take care of yourself though...dentist visits are massively hard.

Your mail didn't arrive woofy...I'll sort you all out tomorrow, I'm off now, I'm cold & I don't want the heating on or I'll be all stuffy headed. Please tidy up all the empties you've thrown on my lawn and have all the weeding done by the time I'm up in the morning. Thank you.

Morning folks...ooh, it's so cold, I'm just running the heating through for a while to take the bloomin bleakness out of the air in here.

By heck, that pesky Mrs Blackbird's dug out my newly potted up echeverias, I'll have her feathers for a cushion.

Hope you're feeling better neti...and anyone else who's got aches 'n pains.
Expect an email shortly.
