Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Have you tried the ‘19 Crimes’ range? Had a bottle of Rebellion last week and it was unlike any red I had tasted before. Part aged in rum barrels and almost jammy sweetness.

Yeah I've tried at least a couple of them. They'e a bit pricey so I usually wait until one's on offer. Also, they don't have a screw top so are a pain to open. I've become very lazy in that regard.

£8 in Tesco at the minute so I picked up a couple.

Right enough, it was the first cork I had to take out in ages now you mention it.

Afternoon all. I've been having a clear out this morning- mostly trying to tidy up a bookcase that was absolutely bulging. I hate throwing out books but some of them had to go. I'm not sure the Reader's Digest Atlas Of The World circa 1967 is of use to anybody. There were children's Science books that would be so out of date now - and quite possibly wrong that also had to go. I'm feeling quite proud of my re-arranging skills, we now have an Everton section, a cricket section, a Stephen King section, a Beatles section, a serial killers and other weirdos section. I also found a £1 note, a photo of my graduation (mature student Liverpool Poly 1991 - oh to be that skinny again!) and my stamp album that I got for my 9th birthday ( the date was written inside) I kept that. Who knows what hidden treasures could be inside it! lol I don't really think stamp collecting is a thing anymore is it?

Hope you are all having an enjoyable day. I'm now having a cuppa and looking at the trees at the end of our garden. Their leaves are starting to come out which I love to see.

I used to love stamp collecting when I young and I still have the Boots stamp album which received for Christmas when I was 10, so long ago half the countries in it no longer exist! I bought our son a stamp collecting set when he was young but he wasn’t interested and I found it recently, it’s untouched so asked his kids if they would like it. I was met by blank faces.lol

Garden day today. The front meadow is now manageable, the rear orchard is getting there, (some blokes coming to do the heavy lifting in May, hopefully).

Lobbed some trailing pansies and fuchias in hanging baskets, but had 3 trailing fuchias left, so 2 are in a pot on the patio wall, and I found a pot that fitted perfectly into a chimnea. Once they take and grow, it will be a blaze of colour.

Wild pansies (I think), and bluebells have said hello as well! Just got to settle on spots for some lovely plants @Joey66 was kind enough to send me, and 6 rock rose shrubs. All 6 in a group in the front I reckon. After a few years they will merge into a wonderful island of a vividly coloured poppy type flowers bush.

Talking of poppies, got a packet of seeds the other day, so add them to ^^^^^, the place will start to look like the garden Nik and I were planning. Wild looking, an insect hangout, and colourful.

tldr.

I love wild flowers. I planted poppies and cornflowers last year. They were lovely - and we got bees and butterflies visiting. Your garden sounds gorgeous.

Mine is the same. I had a look in it and there are countries like Abyssinia in it! I also came across some George V and Queen Mary stamps that my Granny gave me.
 
Two animal tales from both ends of the spectrum on tonight's local news. Amazingly both occurred at Porthtowan beach. Firstly a dolphin was washed up on the beach having been struck by a motorboat propeller. Sadly already dead. Then later 5 seal pups were released into the sea by the Gweek Seal Santuary (a few miles from where I live). They had been rehabilitating at the sanctuary for 2 months and were now healthy enough to be returned.

Both the good and the bad of life down here in Cornwall.

Have you ever seen @Gwladysover and I together in the same room? ? ?

Here is today's fun with Maths problem. 32 girls are at school. 19 of those girls follow the school rules and wear brown knickers. 24 girls have stamp collections. How many girls have brown knickers and a stamp collection? For an additional point, what is the probability that girls who wear brown knickers and have a stamp collection will support Everton. Please show your working out.
