unfortunately I have really nasty pain in back and it is running around to my tummy. Nasty!

So my posture today is scrunched -you know what I mean - shoulders up - back arched and as I sit here I am slightly swaying. Not a good sight to meet someone. Wizzard old crone look aaahhh lips curl ( thank goodness I havent got a beak for a nose).

I have physio app today for her to look at my back probs. Not a good day but hey might as well go along for the laugh.. More core strengthening I expect. I will let you know how it goes later. xgins

Hope you get some relief soon and the physio can help somewhat..... Please don't swap your bandaged legs for lilac stockings on your legs I always wondered why lady Chatterly chose such a weird colour .....

Yours having watched lady chatterlys lover .....

Yours green all over with envy...

How come you managed to remember the colour of Lady h stockings I cannot I remember the daisys all plaited together and worn like garlands...................

Have a good say:)

gins

Those stocking ruined the garden delights and have stuck in my mind ... Like a thistle poking out of a beautiful lawn..... I may well be traumatised for life by the memory of those vile stockings..... Rushes out to buy weekly shop and lilac stockings

I now have visions of the delivery man bringing the shopping wearing lilac stockings.... Perhaps I had better go back to bed and get up again...

I can only remember Mellors the gamekeeper - he was into gardening - especially Lady Chatterly's delphiniums . Apparently he was a whizz with a dibber. :)

Yours obscenely,

What's a dibber ...... Yours

Frantically leafing through gardening catalogues

It's a long pokey thing that you use for dibbing :)

dibber. a small hand tool used to make holes in the ground for planting or transplanting bulbs, seeds, or roots. (cut and pasted from dictionary)

Does that put you out of your misery? :D

in reply to ladymoth

Small hand tool does not equate with long pokey thing

VG the misled :(

in reply to Ginsing

Holes in what???? I am thinking he will be a fit 20 something in a right fitting shirt and a perfect smile and muscles that ripple as he uses the lawn mower .... Goes to lie down .....

Rushes to the garage to hunt for long pokey thing ..... I may be sometime everything is very tidy and clean in here since my oh carpeted the garage ... Don't ask.... Good job we don't have a car......

Off to Gins's house to look at the fit young gardener - I'm going to have a Diet Coke moment! :P

in reply to ladymoth

How did you get all the strings attached to your body.... Is someone standing on the garage roof manipulating your movements..... Or am I thinking of an old diet coke advert.... Put I am sure they were puppets.... Aha that explains your immaculate appearance all the time .. You are a wooden lacquered puppet.

Yours peering over the fence for a good look

Oooooooooww a water fight, such fun............. Shame it's winter though :D :D

Foggy x

I wondered why you were wearing oilskins a sou'wester and fishermans waders foggy ... You have come prepared for the water fight .... Or you have a strange clothing combination on today by mistake :)

Dibbers, now your speaking my language, I think I must have been born with one strapped to my wrist as I remember being sent to the walled garden every year to prepare for the planting of leeks in particular where the dibber was essential......ah memories, and all with no pain ! Thank goodness now I just have flowers and a trowel suffices.

My bets would be on a small, gnome typeeee, with a constant tan, whether it be through rust or sun/wind burn. Tough as nails though and very hard working :D

Foggy the realistic .....hehehe x

Fibrofoggiest in reply to ladymoth

Oh Moffy, thank you, so kind, now I can challenge VG in the style stakes, she things she's on trend, but a Parisienne Sou'wester puts me streets ahead, and just in time for one of our lovely English summers :D :D

Foggy x

Well I looked on the Internet and there is a passionate discussion about lady chatterlys lover as in one film made they left out her stockings..... I am sure that ruined the whole film as the only thing I remember clearly were the ghastly stockings... Perhaps if I had watched the stocking less version although not correct I would have remembered more...

Yours pondering while wandering about in odd coloured stockings

Gets her army of remote controlled gnomes and sets button to attack and sends them after foggy :x

Foggy the defence expert

Uuurrgghh where am I ? Rubs head, thinks and then goes to find nearest solicitor to sue for damages.....that will teach gnomes to jump on my head, ............sue the lot of them for all the pennies they have !!!
