Chicken curry and we had crumble for pud as well, but it was figs I had bottled last year and plot berries from the freezer.  Unusual mix but very good 

 Mince and onion slice with a mixed salad , rest of Apple crumble and creme fresh 

Has anyone got any foolproof methods for success? Tried everything (module planting, sowing loads direct, freezing seeds first). Very poor results- almosy nothing coming up. For one of my plot neighbours they self seed and she had millions with zero effort- what gives?

Having disconnected the land line phone from the phone line years back due to a continuing stream of such calls, I'm content to continue with the mobile phone.

If I don't recognise a number they can leave a message or if i'ts really "out of area" then it's ignored. I find it easy to suggest to the powers that be that a number is "spam" and calls are often disconnected and marked as spam. Calls sometimes go through to answer and don't leave a message.

I do exactly the same. I don’t respond to unknown numbers or strange SMS. Those who need it will find me.

I think you will find many birds don't need grit.

"ALL seed eating birds consume grit in one form or another regardless of whether they hull their seeds or not"

" pigeons and doves ingest seeds whole and seem to do fine without grit."

I think I will throw in parrots who hull the seeds themselves and owls!!
