Yawn, Yawn, Wakey Wakey!! 2016

TO ALL THE LOVELY GC 'ERS HAPPY GARDENING ONE AND ALL ​

 

Good Morning everyone, Not very warm so far this morning but apparently will be improving.
Have a good day all, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well. God bless.

 

Morning all. It's a bright and chilly start here, hope you are all well.

Got a few errands to run this morning, then hope to get a few jobs done in the garden this afternoon.

Hope your family 'issues' get sorted out @Beckie76. With you on the case, I am sure they will all behave themselves in time. Seriously though, hope it all works out ok in the end.

 

Morning early people

Sorry to hear about your family probs @Beckie76

Don't know what happened to the spring, more like November here, dull with a cold wind.

Not much more I can do in the greenhouse at the moment, so probably potter about in the workshop.

Have a good day everyone and don't stop at the bottom of an escalator

 

Good Morning

A bit overcast here today.

I'm off to work soon, I'm hoping to get caught up so I can have most of tomorrow off. I want to get the rose arch dug in, extend the flowerbed & do some more tidying up .

@Trunky & @Zigs thanks I'm sure I will get everyone under control ......eventually!

Shineyland lilies I think I might neeeeeed some of those sounds like the garden is coming along well @shiney , please be careful, don't over do things

I'm looking forward to planting up my pots & baskets , I will give it a few more weeks before I make a start on those, they will start their life in the front porch, before moving into the greenhouse.

Onwards & upwards

Have a good day

 

Goooooooooooooood morning WW'er

Glorious sunshine here today, just came in from sitting in the arbour with a cuppa

It may be a simple case of: he isn't truly aware that your mother is aging! I know my brothers suffered that particular strain of "age blindness" with our own mother. Good luck with your chat. Your family know you well and will understand that it is only down to how much you care (about them all!)

Healing vibes for those who need them and miles of smiles for all xxMxx

 

Good day everyone,
@"M" is absolutely correct about the age blindness. My sons still think of me as a 40 something year old.

I told one grandson to call me when he needed a lift to work because it was forecast to be a cold and damp morning and it is a nearly 2 mile walk to work. Shortly after 7 he called and I simply threw my overcoat over my pyjamas and picked him up. I had forewarned him that I'd be pretty rough but since I was quickly dropping him at the entrance, he needn't worry about his co-workers seeing his old grambo in her jammies. He was ever so grateful and happy that as an added bonus I will go back and pick him up at the end of the day. I need groceries there anyway...

I will be working most of the day today. I want to push through as much work as I can while the days are cloudy and cold. Which it is forecast to be for the next week or so. May need to also consume chocolate to keep my spirits up...

There are some fun old movies playing today that I can listen to while working - an old Ollie and Hardy, a Johnny Weismuller Tarzan movie and other old gems. Should be a good day!

I hope everyone has a nice a day as I am going to have and of course, a safe one

 

Will you put your clothes on for that trip?

 

Hmmm, wouldn't that be a treat if I walked in wearing jammies and a house coat - too bad I don't use hair rollers...

 

... and a hairnet ... and go by the name "Ena"

 

Good Evening Folks,

I'm very pleased to say that my niece was picked up by her mother at 12 today, she has gone home & my mum is resting , my brother is keeping a very long profile....apparently I'm on the warpath & he's probably next for a lecture , I've decided not to speak to him for the time being, I'm working on the less is more rule! I think the Beckie stare next time I see him will be more than enough! I basically brought the boys up so they know when they are pushing my buttons & when they need to duck!
@'M' & @CanadianLori mother is only 56 ahem! But she's been a silly lady in her time & got into the wrong crowds & done some very irresponsible things, as a result she's a lot older than her years, me well I'm full of youth!!!!
Thanks for reading my worries, isn't it amazing the difference 24 hours makes hey!
