I can see you asking questions on the Shop Restocking thread even if Keith can't ;)

That's a huge difference in your pineapple in one month! Do the turkeys tend to keep away from people and populated areas? I've seen a turkey with a fence inbetween us and he was very territorial of his mate, quite intimidating, I don't think I'd like to come across one on a walk.

There are lots of things coming up nicely in my garden, I took a Hellebore seedling from my dad's garden 2 years ago and that has bloomed for the first time, a dusky purple. I planted some bulbs recently and there were lots of worms in the soil so I'm glad that seems healthy, and we've had sunshine this week and I've seen ladybirds everywhere I look, I'm glad I left them plenty of places to overwinter. I sowed some flower seeds but haven't had a great germination rate so will have to try again. I'm more of a 'chuck them in and see what happens' type of gardener rather than planning ahead and reading the packets about the temperature they like - and I have no means to control the temperature anyway so they get what they get! The rhubarb is again doing well so look forward to having that in crumble soon. I look forward to seeing another progress pic of your pineapple.

I hope you get the lifelike doll I just sent you! No problem, I haven't been able to play as much either due to the lag and isssues. That's quite alright, I appreciate that you shared your buddy accounts with me for so long, and I understand your decision. It doesn't feel like it's been 11 years, I've enjoyed my time here and hope we get more happy times, despite the uncertain future of the site.

Thank you for the gifts!
