    Aloha everyone,

    I got a lot sorted out in town yesterday and visited Barry. He needed his telephone contract sorted out and renewed and I managed to save him £7 per month over the previous year. He also now needs a wet room as he can't get into his low bath anymore. So I have started to try and get things going with the council.

    Lots of things to do today.

    Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

    Aloha!

      Morning everyone, hope you are having a good day.

      Lots of rain overnight and many puddles at work. The trees looked happy to have a drink though!

      Hope you all have a fun and excellent day!

          Nor working would be excellent! But sadly there are still lots of years left before retirement, if I can ever afford to do it! :(

                Good day everyone
                We had some lovely rain. The lawns and gardens are happy and there is water in the rain barrels to use in the greenhouses. You'd think in a country with huge lakes that our water wouldn't be so expensive but nooo, we get charged high rates both in and out (sewage) for every drop so that is why I do my happy dance when it rains :)

                Something I read on this forum caused me weird and worrying dreams last night. I dreamt we had travellers park on the front lawns of our street:yikes: and there was garbage and excrement everywhere:yikes::yikes:. Was glad to wake up :)

                I have a full day of puttering and small chores to take care of plus a teensy bit of grocery shopping. And of course purchase my set amount of gambling... lotto/donation to the government of the day :snorky:

                I hope everyone has a great Friday and plays safe !

                      Morning early people :)

                      Busy week getting ready for the show. The judges do reserve the right to inspect your garden, unlikely to happen but best get the weeding done and hide the tanvats :yikes:

                      Have a good day everyone :spinning:

                        Aloha everyone,

                        A bright sunny morning. :SUNsmile:

                        I've got paperwork to plough through, bills to pay, and a load of studying to do for my seminar tomorrow morning.

                        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                        Aloha!

                          Morning all. Wishing you all the best for a sunny and fun Saturday with everything it may bring!

                          Fingers crossed the sun will stay for a little while. Had ridiculous amounts of rain yesterday, everything gardenwise is laden with water! I've had an old washing-up bowl left out on the step from weeding last weekend, and it's now full to the brim with rainwater!!

                          Saturday joy to all! :)

                            Good day everyone,
                            We have blue skies and it is expected to get quite warm today.

                            My OH wanted me to attend a classic car show with him today because he doesn't like to go to these events alone however even though he is retired, he has been less than helpful around here and I also don't think my broken foot would be happy with all of the walking required. I'm mentally and physically not really willing to go... I'll see. :scratch:

                            On a happier note, I've had lots of tomatoes ripening and have been able to pass lots of to friends and family. Had some sizeable cucumbers and zucchini to pass on too! My one pumpkin is sitting up on top of a rail about 8 feet off the ground and I did secure it so that it wouldn't fall and smash. My first time growing one so I am pretty pleased. :)

                            Have a super day and play safe!
