I hope the hellhounds are feeling better now, and glad that Pegasus and that lovely review are helping to improve your day. Sending virtual chocolate and champagne in heaps/jereboams
My radio (also digital) occasionally decides radio 4 can only be heard with eldritch shrieks in tow; I find drastic cursing very useful - it makes me feel far happier 
...and I admit total ignorance of morning stars!!! how did I miss them? Hangs head in shame.

Truly there are days when one shouldn't get out of bed . . .
And when they finally leave, in a daze of higher cognition, they leave all the dustbins on this cul de sac in the middle of the road
This is so that everyone will know they have done some work. We've been enjoying a run of good garbagemen for a while, or maybe the same ones have stayed on this route, but we periodically get a crew that leaves the lids off the cans so they can blow away, or the cans can collect rainwater. I do not respond charitably to this.
I discover that we’re unavoidably walking past a field that is being sprayed by one of those gargantuan appliances with ramparts of spray nozzles . . . and the resulting toxic, stinking fog wraps itself lovingly around you and whispers seductively of furry green lacework lungs and mutations beyond imagining.
Deep sympathy for you and hellhounds. When we moved up here and were looking at house lots, I wouldn't consider anything next to planted fields just because of spray drift. God only knows what they put down, but I wouldn't want it coming my way.

What do you reckon to coffee grounds for deterring slugs?
|
The slugs in my garden used to complain if the daily coffee wasn't available at the same time as their nice salads... The only two things I've found consistently reliable in the anti-slug war (I don't use any pellets, because of the effect on wildlife) are copper tape around pots of particularly treasured plants, and beer traps. Other than that, we garden for wildlife and create habitats for natural slug predators as much as possible. It seems to keep them in check, at least.

Poor Robin, poor hellhounds. So sorry to hear the boys threw up. I'm going to blame it on the spraying. *stomps the sprayers*
But wow, that SWORD review. You know, I think she liked it! ;)
That dahlia is very pink. I can see why you like it.
Smooshes!

I'm sorry you had a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Some days, as we all know, are Like That. Even in Australia.
But did you have to pass it on to me, so that I am having one today?
Except that my dear, nice kind husband bought blood oranges, which I adore, and I'm eating my second one of the day as I write. Greedy, moi?

The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day virus is a very efficient little chap that circumnavigates the globe with ease. Unfortunately, it does tend to be contagious. The up side is that it doesn't usually hang around constantly. Of course if it makes friends with someone's ME then there could be trouble. There is some anecdotal evidence that garlic can be of assistance. I prefer to utilise the age-old chocolate remedy myself. What the heck would they have used before chocolate?? No wonder it was the Dark Ages......

It’s in a bright pink envelope, you’d think it would be a little difficult to overlook, but I’ve been managing.

I have somehow received the impression that quite a few things in your landscape are bright pink...perhaps the envelope just settled happily down among the others of its kind and became part of the general milieu?
|
*grin*
This reminds me of a friend of mine who had a catchphrase of 'If it's pink it's MINE' a little while ago.
Hope today's been better for you, Robin.

Don't worry about the dust bunnies, they're just here to guard the treasure.....

And copper RINGS! They are most amazingly brilliant! You have to bite the bullet to begin with because they're pretty expensive but they SO WORK. Every year it's like this little piece of practical magic all over again. However I *do* use slug pellets--don't you believe that the organic, harmless to wildlife ones ARE? I perhaps gullibly assume they're okay. The Organic Gardening Catalogue sells them. . . .

LOL! Yes, exactly!
I am sorry it's contagious!
