Does anyone have any sunshine to spare?
I was generous enough to send some rain to Oz earlier this season
We now need some spring
Having had one of the wettest most revolting winters of all time we are
now due 40 know winds at minus one degree C tonight - perfectly timed to
hammer all the new growth on EVERYTHING and rip into any weakened anything
that has suffered over the winter but has been missed. I spotted a bit of
missing roof ridge the other day - just whipped off by a stray gust ;(
Tomorrow we go into - 5 'C territory - enough to make the quagmire and
quicksand everywhere frozen solid and blow all the pipes to kingdom come

and I have a trapped nerve in my shoulder which hurts.

Our poor vet students have ended up in the polytunnel with plants ! for a
few hours this week as the weather has been SO bad that there was nothing
we could give them to do with the birds

So -- please -- if you have some spare sun and dry and warm and still it
would be gratefully received around lat 56.5 and long -5.42

That's because it hasn't been cold.

And if you're unhappy now think of all those pests which weren't
killed by frost and are lurking, ready to pounce on anything left
alive.

I'll raise you a crumbling spine (noire and more painful to walk) and
yesterday's surgery ...

You're not having our sun We need it for the hot water.

Ask Oz for a quid pro quo!

Actually, since today is my birthday (umpty ump again)

allowed to do anything I want with no grumbles so we went off for
bits for a new computer and passed what looked like an efficient
garden centre so on the way back we went in. I was VERY impressed
with everything about it.

spent three days in a week travelling to Harrogate hospital too. The
point behind all this is that we've seen marvellous mass displays of
daffodils and prunus blossom, it's been a joy - even in the grey
weather but even more in sun of course.

They are already around -- even seen midges in the polytunnel

Some bugs on a few older birds which are being dealt with

I have LOTS of luvverly bulbs coming out but with the weather no-one in
their right mind is going to be out and about !
;(((

Even the food in the cafe was excellent.

Wow - praise indeed

We have lots of daffs out -- all far too early
So they will all look tatty at Easter !!!

Haven't seen any - but I haven't looked. Perhaps I should ...

The Croad Langshan which was hatched last May has started to lay but
Zen doesn't like sharing 'her' coop so Spouse is making another as I
type. Gen will need laying space too soon, I suspect.

1) don't know why I typed 'noire', should have been 'more'!

2) hysteroscopy - what I've begun to think of as my annual decoke.

Damn -- I remembered your birthday about 10 days ago
sorry

Oh, Jill,l I wasn't hinting!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Well, thank you

Our tete-a-tete in the verge in the street have been well chewed.
Sparrows? Mice?

Must see how he's doing with the new coop ...

Trapped by what?

yup
We culled an old lad for the vets to dissect -- and spotted them
REALLY early for us here (((
Lots of spraying of houses with poultry shield -- FAR too cold to hit the
birds - can I spell hyperthermia

Lots of eggs around
Its been lighter than "some" years and we are improving our birds
The wee solar lights I have in the new garden area down the driveway have
been on 3 times this year

I really wish you would try AT whom ever you go to.
I really think you might get some relief. I know not cure but relief and
easier movement
I know its hard to describe how it works which is frustrating but it
really can help lift the pressure between the vertebrae and allow the soft
tissue to heal and be much less irritated

Must see how he's doing with the new coop ...

Glad to hear he is back on the workforce !!!

Trapped by what? I recently had a hand - well, the hand is the part that
gives out first with me - that turned into a bottomless pit into which all
energy, brainpower and spirit vanished without trace. I couldn't' tell
"where it hurts" - even pain as a separate feeling had been sucked into it

Can I be highly OT, not to mention encouraging illegal activity, here and
recommend marijuana for pain?

I did quite a bit of research online, after an interesting discussion in
another group (complete with the total anti's who accused anyone who wrote
about their experiences of pain and nausea relief of being "druggies
looking for excuses for their crimes") and by a series of weird
coincidences when a friend was in constant horrendous pain, another friend
found a little bag of green stuff under a cushion on an outdoor chair!
Turned out it had been hidden by someone who was fearful of a raid - and
then forgot to retrieve it. "Short-term memory effects!" we said, and,
irreverently, "The Lord has provided!" So Kady was told to try it
carefully, about half a teaspoonful at first in her food, wait about an
hour and if that didn't take the pain away take another half tsp. She
wasn't into "feeling drugged" and was a lifelong ardent anti-smoker. It
worked spectacularly for her, one particular poignant remark being, "I had
my first real sleep for months."

According to the literature (google marijuana pain medicinal "Pain relief"
nausea in various combinations to get the best info) smoking is best for
gauging exactly how much you need - the pain relief happens right away so
you extinguish the joint and keep it for later. Eating has its risks in
that you have to experiment to find out how much kills the pain but you
don't know if you've had too much till too late. Not that it's going to be
harmful like an overdose of commercial painkillers but it won't be the way
you (probably!) want to feel and may be a bit scary for that reason.

Here people are very generous, I've found, about giving away "cabbage"
i.e. the less potent leaves because they just want the heads. For pain
relief the less potent material is best because you have more control of
the amount you take in. It can be made into a good easily-measured
medicine by jamming leaves into a jar and covering with vodka, leave for
several weeks, then do the testing again - half a teaspoon, a whole tsp -
to find what it takes to take away _your_ pain.
By having it as an essence you can easily measure the right dose.

Roll on the day when it's legal and readily available. It hits pain that
ordinary painkillers don't touch, hasn't the unpleasant side effects of
the really strong analgesics and it doesn't rip up your guts the way
anti-inflammatories do.

Hope this helps. Mention this info to your friends and see if anyone
quietly volunteers to help get some leaves for you!

A mixture of stress, not sleeping properly and lying on it when I was
sleeping, I think
Volterol alone did not work but a bit of Alexander technique eased out my
shoulders and back a lot, some Nytol and a malted drink meant I got a decent
nights sleep and that seems to have done the trick. It bleeping well hurt
that day.
I am looking forward to having our Alexander technique teachers back again
this year.

Isn't Alexander Technique wonderful?

That's interesting. I don't want to smoke.
