    Good Morning all, doesn't look very promising out there this morning. Hopefully it will cheer up later. Hope everyone is in fine fettle and nobody overdoing things.

    Have a good day, take care, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well.
    God bless. :wub2:

      Aloha everyone,

      'Tis dull outside but very cheery inside :)

      I got Barry sorted out OK. :blue thumb: Some good things decided in my meetings and I won my league match last night :yahoo:

      Oh Joy!!! :lunapic 130165696578242 5:


      You must be joking! :doh: :heehee: I not only trimmed another 200ft of lawn edges but actually cut 100ft of new edges as the old had disappeared. I also raked a wheelie bin full of debris, lawn edging bits, dried leaves, twigs and branches and left them for Mrs Shiney to pick up. I prepared 60 x 3.5" pots with compost and put in trays for Mrs Shiney to put her cuttings into and did a load of shopping ready for me to cook for the students tomorrow.

      Michael came yesterday (first time since October) and dug and composted some of the veg plot, dug over an area of a front garden flower bed for Mrs Shiney to plant some more of her plants - including digging out a load of irises and splitting them (very hard work).

      I don't know what else he may have done as I left for my meetings after lunch and arrived home close to midnight.

      I'll get a bit more done in the garden today. :thumbsup:

      Time now for a mixture of breakfast and painkillers :snork:

      Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

      Aloha!

        Morning all. Dull and cold with just a hint of drizzle here this morning, looks like a day for staying in and doing the housework.

        Had a good day yesterday. Finished the last of the edging in the garden, went out for lunch and a walk with an old friend of many years standing, then another little gardening session in the afternoon sunshine, tidying up the herbaceous border. :SUNsmile:

        Finished off the day by going round to sister-in-law's to sample her birthday cake (and to wish her a happy birthday of course :whistle:).

        Hope everyone is well, have a good day.

              Goooooooooood Morning!!!

              Agreed :dbgrtmb:

              Very productive and, coupled with all you achieved in the garden, you may have this :star:

              Gosh, you are a hero :heehee: Send you sister-in-law birthday wishes from GC; birthdays are so important (I think).

              Well, not too sure what the day will bring but I have plenty to do to keep me out of mischief. All the girls are in full lay now so I'm going to take some eggs to a couple who live up the road. They moved in a month or so after us and have two dogs that Ozzy likes to play with. Unfortunately, one of them had an accident when travelling in a London cab and is still recuperating, so it'll be an opportunity to have a natter and see how he's doing and if he needs any help.

              Enjoy your day, whatever life throws at you; healing vibes for those in need and miles of smiles for all xxMxx

                    Good day everyone

                    We were forecast a sunny day. I guess they meant on the top side of the clouds... :doh:

                    Guess I will get some more work done while it is a good time to be inside. :)

                    Have a safe day please!

                        Good Morning fellow GC WW'ers (and any who lurk :heehee: )

                        Forecast for another heavy cloud day today :th scifD36: we need the wind to change direction, I think!

                        I've been out and checked my new border and there are no signs of the blood, fish and bone meal attracting anything untoward during the night :phew:

                        Woken early today by a "pocket call" from #1 son as he walked home from work :doh: but that's ok, more time to enjoy the day :heehee: There is a Spring Fair going on today so I think I'll be popping in to that later, maybe a plant stall (?) I'm not sure.

                        Enjoy your day however you choose to spend it :thumbsup:

                          Aloha everyone,

                          Yesterday felt colder than the thermometer said! :sad: It looks as though we've got another similar day today but Mrs Shiney is teaching all day and I'm the cook, waiter and bottle washer. So we shan't be out there braving the cold. :)

                          Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                          Aloha!

                                Morning all. Dull and damp here, weather's not great either.

                                Hoping to get a bit done in the garden today, lots to do, just a question of what the recovering hand and the weather will let me do. Mrs Trunky has offered to help out, now what can I give her to do...? :scratch: :rolleyespink:

                                Hope everyone is well, have a good day. :)
