Yawn yawn - wakey wakey..!! Mk 4

Good morning, it's a bit of a grey one here !
Saturday means a relaxed day with no clock-watching :happydance:

 

Good morning All

Shiney I do hope your friend's wife is ok and that you will still be able to enjoy having dinner with them tonight.

I am going to pick a lot of my toms today but unfortunately as we cannot eat them all I shall freeze most for hot tomato soup in the winter, lovely when made with cream.

Have a good day all.

 

Morning Campers :D
I hope everyone's fit and well this morning !

 

Good morning everyone,

I don't know what went wrong yesterday but my post has dissapeared so i must have pressed the wrong button as it has gone

Good luck with the funeral today Shiney and glad that your friend is feeling a bit better

We have just got back from our early morning walk and was lucky to see and photograph a nice little Muntjac Deer that was trotting up the road in front of us until it saw us then it trotted into the hedge and we then lost it from view:D

Sunny out there this morning and i think the forecast is for a nice day

 

Morning Everyone,

Shiney hope the funeral goes off ok today, unusual to have it on a Sunday? Glad your friend is feeling better but wise to allow her to rest rather than entertain.

I am exhausted I have just more than doubled Amber's walk and it is killing me. Lol. No I expect once my poor old joints adjust it will do me good. After all that apart from the love and company she offers was one of the reasons for getting her. She is a little cracker.

Kandy, sometimes my posts disappear not sure where to but never to be seen again!

Have a good day all.

 

Good morning everyone,

Lovely and sunny out there this morning and long may it reign:yess:

Moyra glad to see you are getting plenty of exercise with Amber and in a few months you will feel much better in yourself with all the exercise and fresh air and it will help keep the sugar levels at a suitable level

Just been getting some of the runner beans prepared for the freeer and todays meals.It is really nice to have fresh home grwon fruit and veg with each meal and it makes all the hard work at the allotment worthwhile:D

Have a good day everyone whatever the weather

 

Morning Shiney,I don't know how you manage to get bites in such akward places as even when i wear shorts which is most days in the summer months i only ever get bitten on mainly my legs {like yesterday}and occassionaly on my arms{the other week}.It must be the Pheromones you are giving off that they are attracted to:D

Enjoy your day

 

Morning Everyone,

Shiney, I don't know whether you know anyone who is an Avon Rep but avon do a product, I think it is called Woodland Fresh, or similar and it is used by fisherman to protect them from getting bitten. Apparently for some reason the bugs do not like the scent of it not that it smells anything other than fresh. It might be worth you looking out for it while we have so many biting insects around.

Amber is certainly getting to know the neighbourhood dogs. People say to me is that Amber and I then gather they have met her when my Steve takes her for a walk of an evening. It is certainly helping me to get to know people too as I am a bit of a hermit to put it mildly!

Have a great day everyone.

 

Moyra,we know most of the dogs in our village as we meet them on our evening walks{and morning walks at the weekend}and as i always try to get photos of them end up stopping and having a chat with the dogs slaves :D

Shiney,I just had a thought that you might have picked up a little lodger{flea}which will keep biting you as it needs to feed on your blood to get it's meals.Please don't take it the wrong way,but you might have entered a house where there is a dog or cat in residence that hasn't got it's slaves trained in the art of keeping on top of the flea treatment throughout the summer and when a new host enters the house the fleas will often jump straight onto them and will start biting.I doubt if it is Oscar as Mrs Shiney grooms him on a regular basis and would see the flea dirt{specks of dried blood}in his fur.

Where we used to live our cats would always come home with lodgers when the hedgehogs started to come awake in the spring time so had to treat them with the stuff{frontline} from the vets that you put on the back of their necks every month which would kill them off.Since we have lived here and there has hardly been any hedgehogs we never seem to have a flea problem

Fleas don't like Garlic so some people squeeze a bit of that onto the back of the cats necks and it repels the fleas and off they go to find another host.

What Moyra is suggesting from Avon is a good idea if you keep getting bitten.When we go to Scotland we have bought Jungle Formula and that helps against the midges.I am useing Anthisan cream at the moment for the bite I got round the nature reserve we went round yesterday which helps to stop the itching.The one i got on my arm the other week produced poison and watery blood,but that one has cleared up now although i now have a pink mark on my arm in the spot{scuse pun]where is was.:D

I do hope you get some relief as i know how painful the damn things can be

 

Good morning everyone,

Its overcast here, but nice and warm...if it doesnt rain, I'll cut the grass this morning.

As usual, had a busy busy weekend.
