Put up a watch on ebay that I bought myself for my 30th, almost 20 years ago. It's currently bid up to £600 more than my starting price (and £300 more than what I paid for it) :)

Osem Jnr is loving his time in a local school and already received some very high praise indeed with 'outstanding' in 4 of 6 elements in his most recent assessment and only a couple of aspects requiring minor improvement. He's going to be very sad to leave in a few days but really looking forward to his next school which is a highly regarded and close enough to walk to/from.

He made us chuckle the other day when he told us that a little girl in his class noticed they have the same surname and asked if he is her daddy. Sad but funny at the same time...

Just finished checking over my Japanese banana palm: After the frost a week or two ago it was looking a bit sad. I've trimmed all the dead fronds back to solid stumps, needed a step ladder as it's getting quite tall, the inner core is still bright green so it looks OK. Now it and the side shoots (pups), one of which is already ~3 feet tall, are fully swaddled in horticultural fleece. :)

Fortunately hard, all day, frosts are rare down here near the coast. That -3°C caught me off guard.

My other three palms: Australian, Canary Island and jelly (Butia Capitata) are fully hardy to below -10°C even though they look tender.
