Now I'm confused?  ???  Or are you referring to a chest cold?  I'm obviously not thinking at my usual speed and I can't work that one out. :o

I should also mention (as another moan) that feeling like crap on Wednesday I got to Tafe and opened up my notes to discover that I had a test that evening, and I didn't even realise it.  :o  Thank goodness I knew my pests and diseases pretty well.  Those bits we have already got marks for I passed, and I'm fairly confident about the rest.  Was a bit of a sinking feeling when I realised we had a test, let me tell you!!  :-[

Why is it that when it is Aberdeen Show the weather is bloody awful! It is always clod and this year the met office has put out a severe weather warning for Aberdeenshire... Maggi I need to be handed a mug of hot chocolate when we arrive at the hall this evening  ;D

Poor Carol, she was out of luck... when she made her post we were already leaving for the set-up and  when she and David arrived through the wind and rain I was unaware that any pleas for hot chocolate had been made!
Weather is horrible and forcast for tomorrow is just as bad. It will  do bad things to our visitor numbers, I fear.  Entries are a bit down too, I think.... unless someone arrives unexpectedly with a truckload tomorrow morning. ::)

Well it was very clod in Aberdeen yesterday Anthony but, in spite of the weather, we had a great day! Whilst the show benches were not groaning with entries the benches were filled, the plants looked good and a convivial day was had by all. The Aberdonians proved just how hardly they were by turning out in force to look at the show and, in many ways more important, buy lots of plants and enjoy the teas. No hot chocolate but a smile a mile wide from Maggi when we arrived on the Friday evening made the journey all worthwhile.

Sorry, Otto: this all started off with a typing error of clod for cold... and a joke has spiralled!
There is an english word "clod" too, to compound the confusion ; that means "lump" as in : a clod of earth. Though it can mean a clumsy person, also..... ah, the  joys of the english language  :-\ :-X ;)

We'll hold you to that, Maggi, but I don't think we'd fit in one bed ;D
I'm looking forward to visiting already!
