  1. Was visiting some friends yesterday and we wandered around their garden. Was shown a nice looking couple of weeds that friends tell me were given to them by neighbours who claim the weed keeps moles at bay! As the weed is now planted on what was a priority mole run, the friends tell me that the moles have apparently evacuated and gone!

    What is the weed?

    Julia, with a nice rock garden and arbor and aches.
  2. Not sure if this is permitted, but the furniture isn't mine, and several people have asked where can they buy such items, so here goes.

    Have a friend who sadly is returning to Scotland. She has the following items for sale. If this isn't permitted on the forum, would someone kindly send me the URL of the forum where selling furniture is allowed. More information is available at 0299081358

  3. To everyone who had suggestions as to where we could leave our beloved dratted cats - we found the ultimate in beautiful catteries near Dinan! The Hilton of boarding kennels!

    Rennee Hemming's establishment is wonderful; I would recommend it to anyone - and if dogs are cared for as well as the cats, what else can I say.

    No, I don't have shares, and the boarding kennel/cattery has a website.

    Julia, who was very pleased to leave the cats in such great care.
  4. The animalerie's sell the cat grass stuff you grow in longish plastic containers with a drip tray! My cats love it - but it does take a few days for the grass to get to the eatable stage. Be warned, the stuff flies everywhere if you don't open it with care!

    I think Le Clerc also has the stuff, cost about 2 euros seventy.
  5. Advice for what it's worth and how well you follow it!

    DON'T open any email from anyone you don't recognise. Resist the temptation to open and read the emails - just delete the things and the world will not end, but your machine will be safe from most viruses.

    Norton and other AV tools can't pick up every virus created, particularly as there are new viruses created each day, even each hour. Some people make it their life work to create the ultimate virus. The volume of new viruses makes it impossible for AV tools to catch.

    Then again you might consider a firewall for your computer!

    The only way to even try to secure your machine is to ignore emails that come with a suspicious 'Subject Line' or from someone you do not know. Resist the temptation to open every email.

  6. Oh by gum! I'm a miniaturist, but don't make in one inch scale (1/12). Check the web for miniatures/dollhouses (the latter may bring up porn, so beware) - there are many kits available and not too expensive - I can probably find some sites for you if you need them.

    Let me know what type you are looking for, in house and/or furniture - and approximate prices.

    There is a site for DollsHouse World, which is a British Magazine that has ads for dolls houses and associated things. Try to buy from the maker, it's less expensive.
