The gate bell rang. Not expecting anyone so I have to risk my recently polished nails on the touchscreen monitor. Ooh it's a delivery man (my favourite kind of bell ringer) But wait.....I haven't bought anything for a while. Has St Therese sent another miracle down to me ?  No, it was that naughty man happypalms, recognising my near palmless state he took pity on a poor pathetic crippled lady and shouted me a lovely new palm from Chris and Arden. Drum rolls please ......  I do know the name and species by the way but do you ?  Thanks Richard for the lovely prezzie.

Still swooning over the loveliness of it all.

Upvote for the flair tag. Very amusing.

Regardless of lateness or not, looks like you have a mouth to feed now...

Yes and the name is nearly as posh as the palm ! Calyptrocalyx benga dawn noda noda !  Quite the title. Trying saying it after a sherry or 3.
