YES!!! The "I'm So Happy!" thread - 2011

[Anthony Darby]

Not just car manufacturers. The house we are temporarily in (fortunately at no cost to us) had the knob on the bath hot water tap split in two. I took it to a plumbers merchant to replace it. We are talking about something that will fit into a spindle that is shaped like a rectangle with rounded ends and allows the top to be screwed on to it. The inside of the tap knob has a black insert of this shape. The man at the plumbers said "I take it the bath is not new, because this fitting became obsolete years ago?!" I went home, got some superglue and, amazingly, this kind of plastic did glue together and will last us.

I am very happy, back from holidays and only one dead plant in my greenhouse and lucky me it was one that I didn't much like. It's good to have friends to watch all your babies when you are away.
Thanks Helen and Bill ( SRGC members )

I'm really happy today because the Pleione bulbs I ordered from Ian Butterfield arrived today! 
They do look great and promise beautiful flowers in a few weeks or months - watch the orchid section for that.

Good for you, Thomas. Enjoy them all. Paddy

[Anthony Darby]

Two more days of school after this one!

[Paddy Tobin]

Oh, Anthony, isn't that a wonderful feeling. Savour it, enjoy it, take pleasure in it; it's a good feeling.

[Anthony Darby]

Thanks Paddy. Alas, I won't be able to see our triumph on 'Eggheads', which was recorded last March but won't be broadcast until 18^th Feb.

[Paddy Tobin]

Oh, I must look out for that one.

If your spirits need a lift this evening take a look at the new Toscanini -  a 3 year old conducting Beethoven.  No doubt we will be hearing from this young lad in the future.  He's a remarkable conductor already! Such talent and enthusiasm not even stifled by an itchy nose.

Such talent and enthusiasm not even stifled by an itchy nose.

Not to mention rhythm and musicality, bless 'im

One for the Muso's out there, a voice like pouring honey.

[Tony Willis]

David what good taste you have in music as well as plants.

[David Nicholson]

Thank you Tony

[Paddy Tobin]

Jeez, that Tony Willis is such a flatterer.

LOL Paddy

[David Nicholson]

Yes I know but I don't get flattered a lot these days

I hope Maggi and Ian latch on to this she'll be right up their street.

I hadn't heard of Emily Smith until I read a review of her new album "Traveller's Joy" in this morning's paper, and I've just ordered it.
