Your Day (apart from gardening) - what took place?

I thought that too...watch that back of yours @Logan! Didn't you once say you're garage was linked via a door in your kitchen.. that would be much safer options considering the two health issues you mentioned .

 

Thank you @Upsydaisy and @Victoria I know what I can and can't do with my back and the prolapse but thanks.
Yes the garage is linked to the kitchen, hubby puts the car away so can't keep the food in there.
I feed them in the kitchen, I have a tin that i put some of their food in and keep it in the kitchen cupboard and weight it out every day. They don't go upstairs, because they're golden retrievers they like to pick things up so i wouldn't have anything left upstairs.

 

Sorry, I am being thick ... why can't you store the dry food in there because he puts the car in there?

 

The car takes up all the room in the garage and it's more cleaner upstairs.

 

Made some gooseberry jam

Might do some more tomorrow

 

Finally got my tree trimmed, as it’s been so full of bees while flowering I couldn’t go near it

 

I'm in the August issue of Garden Answers magazine - page 101 - there's the picture of the Aquilegia that I previously posted on this 'ere forum .

 

@clanless Congratulations! But where can stingy sods like me who aren't prepared to buy Garden Answers see this famous photo?

Came across this :-

A Dead Mole by Andrew Young.

Strong-shouldered mole,
That so much lived below the ground,
Dug, fought and loved, hunted and fed,
For you to raise a mound
Was as for us to make a hole;
What wonder now that being dead
Your body lies here stout and square
Buried within the blue vault of the air?

 

yes, @clanless I won't be able to buy a copy over here either. Any link they may provide would be lovely

 

Here we are.

It's not word for word - it's a summary - I think the actual e-mail I sent was rambling too much. I was hoping to be the 'star letter' - to get some goodies - but alas, it was not to be.

 

Watching this

 

Gave my Barker Black brogues a damn good polish. I think they look rather good for shoes regularly worn for the last 4 years, and they haven't needed re-soling yet, not even close to it! Unfortunately, they haven't been polished regularly enough to give them a nice, rich patina, but I'm still fairly pleased with them. Price on the brand's website is around £630, I got them second hand but near-immaculate from a vintage clothing shop for £55.

Very smart indeed! I love good second hand things ... houses, cars, furniture, clothes, etc ... not too proud here!

 

Probably thought that he'd got away with it. Your sins will eventually find you out...

Police seized a caravan today after it was found to have been stolen from South Yorkshire 14 years ago. The driver also admitted to driving without insurance and not in accordance with his license.

Officers from North Wales Roads Policing Unit have been carrying out a joint operation with the Driver and Vehicle Standards targeting caravan safety in Flintshire.
