Yawn, Yawn, Wakey Wakey!! 2016

Hello WW'ers

@liliana - sorry to hear you and Pete are still both going through the wars

@moyra - will be thinking of you tomorrow; I'm sure they will point you in the right direction when you arrive

@Zigs - enjoy your day as a holidaymaker

@Trunky - oooh, do have fun at FIL's 90th birthday bash today! As he's the same age as the Queen, might be nice to put some bunting out in *his* honour ... why should he miss out on all the pomp just because his blood is the wrong colour

@shiney - oh, shiney, shiney, shiney You do put your poor back through it, don't you Thrilled for you that the weekend was a success though; maybe next year I'll be able to help

@CanadianLori - glad you had fun at the Mopar Car Show; take extra care of your skin today so it can recover

@Beckie76 - glad you enjoyed your Shiney Trip; oh and the plant sale you were not at yesterday and didn't buy anything at because you weren't there

The weather is not one that screams: garden!!! So, I'll snuggle away in the office doing bits and bobs there instead.

Healing vibes being sent to all who are in need of them and miles of smiles for all xxMxx

 

Does it need a shaking?

 

I posted my yawn yawn wakey wakey on the Shineyland thread this morning , there's no hope really is there?? , no need to answer that.

I've just popped on here tonight to make you all laugh! I got back home this evening & decided to sort out some pots, I piled them up at the front at end of last autumn, I was just getting organised & Mr Rat-a-tat-tat ran over my foot! War is now declared, needless to say a few choice words came out of my mouth & I apparently jumped in the air, Kev laughed so much he had tears rolling down his cheeks .
The greenhouse is up & running & the rat hole is well & truely blocked off , I've dug the veggie plot over so there's no need for him to go on the plot, Kev has strimmed the long grass at the front (which I was leaving for wildlife) so hopefully thats enough to put Mr Rat-a-tat-tat off, I've set the trap & put some hen food on it to try to attract him . Fingers crossed we catch him tonight!

Night all

 

Morning all.

It's absolutely hideous here this morning; lashing rain, thunder and strong northerly winds, so glad it's my day off. I think I'll make it a housework day today.

Been outside and fed the hens, they looked none too impressed when I let them out. Most of the garden seems to have survived, the broad beans have taken a bit of a battering from the winds but are still just about standing.

@Beckie76 Is your Kev working at the Suffolk Showground today? If he is, I don't envy him that, let's hope things improve as the day goes on. My daughter will be there today too helping with the preparations, as her company has a stand at the show. I'm sure I'll hear all about it when she arrives here this evening.

Hope you all have a good day, stay safe and best wishes to those feeling a bit poorly.

 

Good morning,

What a miserable day, it's more like October than May! The wind & rain has bent my delphiniums right over , we did need the rain though so I can't really complain. The hens are standing under their covered area looking rather said, I will make them some scrambled eggs before I go to work, that should cheer them up!

Kev is disappointed he should be at the Suffolk show ground, helping to prep the stand today,that's going to be near impossible, I have a feeling that's going to be a wash out , it's such a shame because everyone puts in so much effort to make it look nice.
@Trunky, Oh golly your poor daughter, I hope she's able to get out of the wind & rain , it's such a shame for everyone involved. I hope the weather improves tomorrow

@shiney I think the rat is now living under my coal box, I've found two holes in the soil & we can clearly see where he has been running along the fence, if we haven't had any luck catching him this week then I will move the coal & coal box next weekend that's a big job! The biggest problem is there's always a food source here, with the hen feed & bird feed, if the little beast was hungry he would be easier to catch! I will get him

@moyra I hope all goes well at the hospital today, I shall keep you in my thoughts

Best I get a move on enjoy your day

 

Well folks, phoned the hospital a couple of times yesterday and drew a blank. Apparently my stay at the day unit has been cancelled and no bed has been booked for me on the main ward so I was told I would be wasting my time in attending. Looking at the weather outside I am not sorry especially has I have been up and down all night to the bathroom. I think my nerves got the better of me. Poor Amber has not been out yet but I opened up the patio doors and told her to do a wee on the patio under the gazebo's but she refused. It is coming down so hard am not really looking to go out in it. Time my dog learned that in certain circumstances compromises have to be made.

Well folks with the weather like it is, it is a good excuse to have a lazy day. Beckie hope you catch Mr. Ratty.

Have a leisurely day everyone, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well. God bless.

 

Morning early people

That's not good Moyra

Tried to move your post yesterday Beckie but my inline moderation tools still aren't working

Dry as an Egyptian mummie's antiperspirant here, even things in the ground are wilting

Camera must have had a stroke, it's working again now but thinks its January again, the month I bought it

Have a good day everyone and don't get thrips

 

Morning all



Well, silly me. Did not check my new medication, I now have my tablets in a tablet box,and
as I have some tablets on an occasional basis, they are separate. Did not look, found
that my hay fever ones were not in the box, so had not been taking them for 3 days, no wonder
I was suffering. Add to that, I had been clearing a load of ivy hanging over our neighbours, which
is under a tree loaded with pollen, I looked like .

Now, had to dose up, stick stuff up my nose, you name it, I've filled it.

Indoors for me for a couple of days.

Hope you all have a good day, and as Zigs said, don't get Thrips.
