LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2018

If I don't get enough Elderberries, I wont have enough Blackberry & Elderberry wine to share

 

Well we had our wifi and Tivo box replaced and we've been pleased...hubby was on the front just and gone mad...they do one job and make another the cable box on the wall they was checking they've only gone and put an hole in the top of it, so hubby as just tapped it

 

I expect the birds have eaten a lot of the Elderberries when we had the hot weather and they were searching for moisture and food.Whenwe have been out walking of late we have noticed that some of the clumps of elderberries have some missing so I thought it was possibly either the birds taking them or they naturally dropped off due to the dry weather.I tasted one of the fruits and it was so bitter so don’t know how the birds can stomache them

As an aside my Rowan tree that was full of berries has shed a lot of them due to the hot weather and they are all over our grass verge and in the road so the cars are squashing them as they drive up and down our lane. Usually the starlings come in flocks both adults and juveniles and they strip the berries off of the tree every August but up to yet they have left them alone for some unknown reason although we haven’t finished with August yet so they still have time

 

Kandy if they've eaten them mate like they do the red berries they make one hell of a purple mess

 

I had to take my dog to the vet today. We should go more often but it costs a lot of money. Today I got a consultation and 2 lots of medicine for £79. I have to go back next week for a review. The result will possibly be longer term preventative medicine. Our cat (sadly no longer with us) had diabetes. It cost us a small fortune to keep him medicated. Ideally I would like to set up a pet plan but with 2 dogs and 2 cats the cost of that long term would probably out weigh the occasional cost of treatment.

All vets I see these days seem to be from overseas. That in itself isn't a problem as I am grateful for the service they are providing. The problem is understanding what they are saying. I have some trouble. My mother who is 81 and hard of hearing has no chance.

Risk of scrapping 1p and 2p coins 'unfounded'

Bank of England economists have reignited the debate over the future of 1p and 2p coins, arguing their removal from circulation would not stoke inflation.

In a blog post on Wednesday the analysts said their work and the “overwhelming” evidence suggested the withdrawal of coppers would have “no significant impact on prices”.

Rubbish, The Home Office said the same about knife crime.

 

I thought is was just here in the middle of nowhere they had trouble finding places,

Since i've put out the maps for delivery drivers i've had no knocks on the door should i do the same for you Woo
