Down to our second to last bottle of wine with a steak dinner tonight, spirits remain high as the gin and whisky reserves remain ample and a fresh case of wine on the way.

Freezer full of meat and fish and a fresh veg delivery expected within days. Standards must be maintained...

Lucky you! The Wine Society has just cancelled all deliveries until further notice. What happened to the Dunkirk spirit?

We use Naked Wines, they've a few cases in offer for regular customers at present, though they had stopped deliveries for a week or two prior to this on, so clearly operating at reduced capacity.

There's an idea, I've not watched Dunkirk yet

Think we finished it off over the weekend? Unless you've got another bottle hidden somewhere?

My garden is laid to moss as well.  I thought about using that grass weed a feed stuff, but realised if I killed all the moss the lawn would look more like the Somme than a lawn, so was too frightened to use it.

There's a way round that, but it's a lot of effort.

1. Rake (or spinny spiky thing) as much moss out of a patch as possible.
2. Leave a couple of days.
3. Spray with iron sulphate solution (moss killer extraordinaire).
4. Give it another couple of days,
5. Scrape out the rest of the (now dead) moss.
6. Apply grass-seed and water in.

In a couple of years the lawn will be looking good again.

That's very good idea but:-

1) I have a large lawn. It takes me an hour to mow normally with an 18 inch petrol mower. First couple of cuts of the season take 2 hours each
2) Moss is green so it looks ok
3) I dislike gardening intensely
4) Gardening with the exception of mowing the lawn  is a "Pink" job in the Orcs Household
3) I have a life
