Good afternoon.
Sunny I was looking at hydroponic methods for growing orchids and just wondering if you have done that with orchids in bloom? I have one that I would like to change to hydroponic but it’s in bloom. I have another hydroponic plant that my daughter bought for Mother’s Day. I just find them so much easier to look after. All my other plants are in self watering pots!

Pootle how lovely to have a new puppy and new wipers and chocolate!

I’ve been a bit low lately and one result is a mountain, growing by the day, of ironing. So my first positive today is that I have made a dent in the ‘mountain’!
My blossom tree is in full bloom now.
I have an option on a late autumn cruise, just not sure about the weather in the Med in November but anyway something positive to think about.

Hope you day was full of positives.

Ahh I see we’ve jumped over to yet another new page!

Firstly, well done on bumping us on to a new page of positives, Verano.
In answer to the orchid question, putting them into hydroponics is new to me, but yes, I have one in bloom that I’ve just converted. I can’t really say yet how any of them will fair, as it’s only been in the last week that I’ve swapped them over … sorry not to be more helpful.

Anyway, here are a few positives….
🌼🌼 yesterday was sunny and I was able to get out and do some gardening
🌼🌼 found out a new neighbour is a gardener by profession and she has agreed to look after my garden while we’re away
🌼🌼 more organisation for our road trip completed and OH has serviced the car and replaced parts in preparation for the drive

Have a wonderful Easter weekend everyone and if you have a moment, please share a positive with us.

Quick drop in to post a few positives….
🌸🌸 all garden chores I wanted to do before we go away have been completed
🌸🌸 I have shingles, nitbin itself a positive of course, but was able to get an appointment and now have meds, which are already helping
🌸🌸 packing pretty much done, just last minute things to go in tomorrow
What positives have come your way?

I hadn’t realised how long it’s been since I last posted.
Sunny, happy hols, safe journey.

So my positives……
☀️🌈🌤️ A mixed bag of weather today but the sun is shining now!
🥦🫒🍅 Managing to stick to two meals a day at the moment so I’m really pleased about that.
🧺🧳🧺 Almost caught up with my washing. So now I a start to think about packing!

Hope you can find some positives too!

Just thought I would post here today, not just to bring it back to the top, but as there are over 6800 posts, which probably makes it the longest thread, it would be really, really sad for it to disappear!

So……🌳🌷🌿 My garden is blossoming! Apple blossom has been lush this year. My white lilac is in bloom. A red acer that I thought was dying because it didn’t lose all its leaves last winter is looking magnificent. So all looking really lovely.

🧺🧳📚 Washing and ironing all done. Clothes ready to be packed into their ‘pods’, toiletries, pills and make-up all gathered together so everything is ready to just pack.

👩🏻✂️🪮 Hair cut and coloured with ‘highlights’. So after pedicure tomorrow I’ll be ‘holiday’ ready!

If you have any positives, and I’m sure we all had at least one ‘positive’ today, please post. Let’s not let this thread disappear into the ‘ether’.

Thank-you for hiking the positives thread up the listing again, Verano. Hope you have a wonderful holiday.
I’ve been remiss is not posting for so long, so here are a few from me ….
🌷🌷 good road trip to Turkiye and for once not a single ‘duff’ hotel amongst our overnight stays
🌷🌷 catching up with old friends this weekend
🌷🌷 appointment made to have my hair coloured next week
Will try to make a point to drop in more frequently with more positives, but hopefully others will post too
