Never heard them referred to as Triffids, at a glance I would have said something related to the pumpkin family having had quite a few growing in gardens at home and around.
Well end of world movies, nice selection and good luck with the contest! I currently am not online as often, waiting for new cellular equipment installation after Telkom ripped up our ADSL line, proving to be pretty expensive!
Hahaha! As I said, Joan, Granny's triffids turned out to be gems, so you were spot on!
I am sorry your connectivity stuff is taking so long to sort. It really is such a pain! Hope that soon you're back with us, so to speak!
One day soon hopefully, it is madness being restricted to such poor signal. Electrician should now arrive tomorrow to put up the booster, wait and see, as always everything on African time!
