There was an add-on keyboard? and "When I am 64" as the main tune?

That program actually got me started on playing the keyboard/piano 🤣

It’s been a very strange year for weather and the gardens are very confused. It was snowing this morning and now 12C!

The paperplant was looking a lot less perky today…..

Some of the cat ones I am amazed at. Lily is the most placid and laidback cat but there is no way I could get her to do what others have with theirs for the calendar. She would plot my (painful) death!

They are very unusual for something that grows in Northumberland.

I have always wondered what it was, and when it started to spawn aliens, I thought I best check it wasn't going to take over.....

Yes, it is :)

I have wondered for years what it is, and then it spawned these aliens and I thought I best find out 😂

Your secret is safe with me 🤣

I actually like it. It looks very exotic for Northumberland.

There was a big frost here last night so no doubt most will be dying now. It is a shame, but it means we can buy more plants next year 🤣

I tried a telephone call with someone and it was a bit like that and then they wanted to meet up. The art of conversation is dead.....problem is I love a good chat, and if people cannot chat it's pointless.

The whole plant is something that looks like it should not be in Northumberland…..

I’m still concerned it has spawned aliens 🤣

Some of it is probably over 8 foot.

It’s always had lovely leaves. It’s been there for well over 10 years.

Is it normal for them to flower so late? Someone else said theirs does. Quite odd since I am in Northumberland.

This is over 6 foot tall….

It’s never done that before….how odd since it has lovely leaves and has seemed happy for years…

I don’t do anything to it except prune it since it gets a bit too wild without. It is in the shade and I have read it likes that. I have wondered what it is for years…..previous owner planted it.

I believe this is a paperplant? It didn’t flower in the summer and I don’t remember it ever doing this before? Unless it is going to spawn an alien or something?….

You’d not be saying that when she is calling to the wild pusses and running around like her tail is on fire 😹

A naughty ragdoll cat sitting on a kitchen table she shouldn’t be…..her expression is that she doesn’t care one bit at all.

Does anyone want a ragdoll cat?…..

I believe the full price was £4 so it is 75% off….
