One might even say that was a Godincidence! <br />Haha, I also wondered about Plumbum also as our Science teacher, with his delightfully strong Indian accent used to say it to us to make us remember that Lead was pb on the periodic table.Xx Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-13075106396478265832018-05-18T22:46:19.283+01:002018-05-18T22:46:19.283+01:00Dohetu, you are right.

I'd never heard of the word Plumbago before now - and now two days in a row!<br />I actually managed a trip to IKEA last week where the only thing I bought was a cup of coffee - doesn't happen very often!

We always remembered this and I daresay I still do because of the mildly rude second syllable!

A lady asked how big the azalea she was looking at will grow. I was happy to discuss this with her, not realising who she thought I might be. Then she asked if I could carry her bag of compost to her car. I did.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415361156288825232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-1896476221914259712018-05-18T07:14:32.911+01:002018-05-18T07:14:32.911+01:00And with bargains like that it would have been rid...And with bargains like that it would have been ride not to buy the Mini Daims.<br /><br />Sleep well.Frugally challengedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222391810215537820noreply@blogger.com
