Yes, I recall that. When we were stationed in Germany in the late *mhgys’s* gas was at $1 a litre, and we needed ration cards for it. I still think it was outrageous because at the time, gas was about 35¢ a gallon, Stateside.
Good to see you!
You turned up missing long about the same time as No Cmpromiz went to tell jokes and sing hymns to the Lord, and I’ve missed you both. But yer mum posted some Monkey Face orchids that I fell in love with on FB and that cheered me up!
I saw those Orchids and was going to ping you, but reasoned that it could break your “anonymity “.
They certainly are pretty. No doubt coming to a garden near here next summer. I wish you cold have met her Mum. She could “make a Brick grow”. I’m only good with trees...I use a Stihl... :D
