Very pleased to see that the monoculture of equisetum (as produced by the extensive use of weedkiller that equisetum ignores completely) on the parental grave has been strimmed within an inch of its life, along with the arum lilies in the jampot, which had been there all of three days.
Only slightly extremely irritated.

And, of course, about the only thing that kills it is Agent Orange.

Lunch: baked potato with cheese & baked beans, bramble jelly and marmalade sandwiches, red pippy corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
