Tomorrow is my birthday (I'm NOT saying this to get congratulations ) and Son no1 and Kissykit are in Hull and Portsmouth. We will all be sitting round the table though for my birthday dinner. I have told them what we are having to eat and they need to be there for 7pm. We are setting up 2 laptops on the table, making a Skype connection (hopefully son no1's video link will work, his connection speed is a bit slow) and we will all be able to chat and eat together. I think my future son-in-law will also be joining us from Brighton (good job we have 3 laptops )

Sounds great. Hope you have a great day and all the technology works for you.
Happy birthday.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Some days it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints!

Just to say the birthday meal went great. Kissykit and fiance got together in Portsmouth, so saved a bit on bandwidth. There was a little bit of freezing occasionally on the video but sound was clear all the way through. We chatted just like they were in the same room, and carried on nattering for a good couple of hours after we had finished eating. A brilliant idea, even if I say so myselfI could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

And no risk of food fights or complaints about the cooking...what a brilliant idea ! Good to know it went well, really clever.There's no point reading history if you don't use the lessons it teaches.

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesby raryI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
