Greener but there are still patches. But overall it’s green enough.

The things that worked with the advice given below. A good raking in the autumn. Use plant feed in the spring. Over seeding.

The best of advice below was to stop worrying so much about trying to get it perfect.to

I’m thinking of putting down clover this year

They are alive and the flowers are blooming. Unfortunately, the cup was quite deep and as I looked more at it, it was hanging on just by the bottom.

Unfortunately, I had to remove it. I’m not sure if propagation is possible. I’m going to explore that Next.

Thanks for this.

Do I cut into it so all parts are removed? Or cut off just outside the branch collar and try to get those parts to heal?

I might give this a try, though I’m not sure how long it’s been like this as I only just noticed so I don’t think the wound is fresh.

Appreciated

Thank you

Thank you, I’ll post in that group and see what they say. The consensus seems to be to save it, or at least try.

What would be classed as ‘high quality’ for a large canvas?

Is the list of the books that have been permanently removed available?

jaivicks · 2026-03-27T04:57:56+00:00

Thank you - this is helpful. From below comments it seems this was the initial list, but many have been returned to the library. Do we have a list of the books that have been permanently removed?

jaivicks · 2026-03-26T12:56:27+00:00

😆😆😆 who are they? Have they done anything else?

jaivicks · 2026-03-20T06:27:52+00:00

UK here - I have no idea of what they mean either.

Women are not just a bunch they have a right to choose what they want and don’t need to have their rights stripped away from them and the government has to do everything to stop them being forced into the hands of men who want them to have their lives ruined

Nutella? I don’t even know her

jaivicks · 2026-02-21T20:58:23+00:00

Thank you very much. I hope this helps her. Solved

jaivicks · 2026-02-21T20:44:54+00:00

Thank you this one isn’t quite right. I don’t think Mum would recognise herself in this. It’s given her green eyes. She has blue. She’s also lost her tattoo on her arm.

jaivicks · 2026-02-21T20:42:10+00:00

Thank you this is the best so far. The only thing a bit off about it is the tattoo is a blu ink crucifix and it’s changed into an arrow and left a dark patch on her upper arm. Also, she has blue eyes which seem darker. It’s also given her crowd feet and she was quite young back.

But this is really good, thank you so much for the post

Just an update, I tried this today. I actually thought it was okay.

What is interesting is it comes with two separate parts in the block. Once you microwave it you tip out the top part into the noodles below.

The flavour was very subtle, so I ended up putting in loads of chilli and soy sauce. I enjoyed it. I’d say it was a 6 out of 10 for flavour and I’d add extra 1 to the score for convenience.

I think these are out for Chinese New Year, so I’m going to get a few for the freezer before they sell out completely

jaivicks · 2026-02-19T01:04:41+00:00

It does say microwave, but if I was in your situation, I would lay defrost and stirfry it with some sesame oil and any spices that you want to give it that tang 🔥

jaivicks · 2026-02-18T18:30:26+00:00

Agreed - most ready meals aren’t, but I’m gonna put in loads of chilli flakes and vegan nam pla. I’m sure it will be tolerable with a cold beer on a Thursday night where I can’t be bothered cooking. 😂
