Yawn yawn, wakey wakey summer (or is it) 2017

Good day everyone
@shiney It would have lasted longer however I believe I escalated it's wear and tear by trying to ride side saddle...

I was so glad to get all the dead heading done yesterday and pulled anything else that was going down hill. The gardens look a bit fresher now.

Today we are having a sunny day and I will be using the sun oven to melt chunks of parrafin to make fire starters for use with the wood oven and also for my living room fire place this coming winter.

Then I think I will bake a casserole in there. It usually heats up to 350f on clear days like this and it is so nice to know it is silently cooking whilst not costing me a penny in electricity.

I also need to get a start on replacing some of the window film insulation in my greenhouse. I had accidentally ripped some of it a few months ago and I need to replace it before things get too chilly. This means taking everything out of the greenhouse that is parked in front of those panels, disconnecting fans etc... should keep me busy and out of trouble.

I'm looking forward to this fun day playing outside and hope everyone here has a fun day too!

 

Morning all! Up early for a blackberry wander today. Hope you all have excellent mornings and a good day.

 

Good morning all, sounds as if you are all going to be busy today. Sky is quite cloudy out there at the moment lets hope it will clear.
Have a good day all, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well, God bless.

 

Morning early people

Sunny here

Not much going on here today, still tired

Winner of GC's naughty word of the day....

Have a good day everyone and DON'T LOOK ETHYL!!

 

Good day everyone
Yesterday it took me until 3ish to get the areas of damaged window film replaced in the greenhouse I'll have to wait for a good chill to see if any more needs doing Once I start heating it in a few months, I'll know for sure.

I didn't get time to make the parrafin fire starters in the sun oven but I did make some casserole with it. Today I believe it shall be parrafin playing and using the wood oven to bake the dirt in the already de-populated pots. And maybe bake some bread later using the indoor oven.

I think I have figure out how to restring my electric fence. I saw some raccoon poo at the back corner and don't want to see it again

Have a fun Saturday everyone and please play safe

 

Morning all! Hope you have a fab day planned and Sunday is kind to everyone.

Out in the garden having a quiet cuppa before the world wakes up. The birds have just woken and are chittering and chattering in the trees, and plants are very gently swaying in the tiny breeze. Cool now but will be sunny and warm later. Enjoy Sunday!

 

Good morning everyone, looks like it maybe another hot one today. Glad I got the beds changed and the sheets all washed and dry yesterday Time to take Amber for her walk, though she hasn't had her breakfast yet, unlike her.
Have a good day everyone stay warm and dry and above all safe and well. God bless.

Enjoy your company today Shiney.

 

Morning early people

Feeling a bit more recovered from last week this morning

Lovely day here, hopefully enough sun to dry me plums out

@shiney

You deffo not noticed one of these in your garden yet then?



Have a good day everyone and don't sit under the apple tree

 

I'll have to sneak a fully grown one past you next year

 

Morning All,

I trust you are all keeping well & your gardens are looking super .

Work has been very busy for me, my garden is going to get the attention it needs today! I have a lot to do!

We are in the process of having some work done in our kitchen which means the whole house is upside down & covered in dust! I think most of the dusty jobs are now done so I hope to get everything cleaned up this weekend.

The hens are starting to moult, I will make them some scrambled eggs later to give them a boast, I'm still waiting for Kev to make me a bigger run so I can increase my flock! A girl can never have enough hens!

Anyway I'd better get my bum in gear & get moving or I shall never get all my jobs done.

Enjoy your day everyone xx

 

Good day everyone
We are expecting another lovely sunny, mid 70's day. So nice for playing outside.

I have my 5 episodes of Corrie to watch/listen to this morning while I putter around the kitchen. It has been a pretty lively show lately and the humour injected here and there is a good laugh. I'd cut down a bit on the amount of baking I do on Sunday mornings but now that we are enjoying cooler temperatures, I'm not worried about having the oven heating up the place. Plus the weekends are the lower time of use rates for electricity. Think I'll bake some baguettes to make brushetta later and some bread for cucumber sandwiches

I hope everyone has a pleasant day and please play safe !
