Yawn Yawn, Wakey Wakey...!!!! MK8...

Aloha everyone,

Lili, nice to see you after so long but so sorry to hear of yours and your OH's mishaps. I do hope you will both be fine soon.

Shiney, do take care of yourself. Can't have you all knocked up. Do be careful with your wrist and back.

WOO Lovely sky dear did you go flying around in it. Beautiful, have a good day.

Loli, Oh how sad about Mr L's uncle sounds as though he has taken a lovely ability to recognize flowers and plants with him to the grave. I hope the funeral goes off ok.

M, sorry to hear you have been unwell, do hope you are much better now. Take care of you.

Have a lovely day all and do take care of those limbs and joints. God bless.

Aloha!

 

Good morning

Thank you all for your kind wishes.

shiney - isn't it a wonderful time of day to be in the garden? It's all fresh and cool(er) and quiet; by far my favourite part of the day. Even though my garden is N(ish) facing, the step outside my patio door gets the sun for a couple of hours from 6am at this time of year, and then again in the evening, and it's a cheery spot to have a cuppa and contemplate the world. Because the ducks and hens need letting out early, it is a great opportunity for me to have a walk around and pick a weed or twenty Enjoy your visitors today.

woo - it must have been a cheery sight watching the fox cubs by your pond. I know we have foxy visitors here, not that I encourage them because of my girls, but they tend to keep a very low profile. So, how to I know? They leave little 'packages' to let me know they are around

moyra - looking forward to seeing your rose pictures when your camera gets back from holiday!

It will be an out and about day for me today. Cupboards need filling and the market is on today. It used to be a thriving, bustling market (when I lived elsewhere and had to travel in!) but now that it is a 5 minute walk away, it is a shadow of it's former glory. Still bargains to be had and tomorrow they have a Boot Fair on the same site, which I still haven't been to

Good morning everyone,

"M" I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been well,i hope you'll soon be back to full strength

Woo,that must have been a marvellous sighti think alot of us enjoy the crack of dawn....it's the best time of the day for me too

Shiney....It's funny but our 'wildlife' aren't as wild as they make out are they....they seem more tame with each passing day....i've noticed with lots of the birds they don't fly away butexpect us to move out of their way......many a time i have to ask the stoggies to 'excuse me' when i want to get pastsounds like you're going to have a relaxing afternoon...Nice one

It's 17 degree and rising already here,every door and window open....i've been prancing around in my nighty for ages...a fabulous morning

I'm waiting for the 'girls' to complete their egg laying process so i can let them out and get cracking on their coop.....i've got the steam cleaner out to give it a thorough clean and in this weather it will soon dry

Moyra can't wait to see your pics,when you get chance to take them

Waves to the Pennys,Jaz's,Lili's ,CRG ,Kandys et al......

Have a fabulous day,stay cool and take care

 

Aloha everyone,

Steve has been playing with Amber for the last two hours getting her to find 'truffles*' in her bungalow bath full of sand. *black golf ball with the smell of truffles on it! She has learned the difference between that and a white golf ball.

Sounds Lovely WOO watching the foxes at play. Also having a nice early fly around too!

Shiney, You certainly have had a busy morning. Loli the collared doves that we get here don't hang around when I go out but some of the smaller birds do.

Well have a good day all. waiting for the Tesco delivery to arrive with all my fresh salad on board. You don't want a lot else this weather do you? Take care everyone, God bless.

Aloha!

 

For those that were asking I have put photos of the three roses I have in my front border which I haven't got a clue as to what they are called. So if anyone recognizes them I should be pleased to hear what you think they are. They are on the members roses thread.

 

Having a Naga curry for my tea...you can blame Shiney for that

 

Loli, Definitely Shiney's fault. He's got broad shoulders and can take the brickbats. I am not eating until the sun goes down or when it is fairly low in the sky and has lost some heat then we will light up the barbecue.

Instead of Roast Dinner tomorrow going to cut up the pork joint into cubes and stick on skewers with bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions to make some lovely kebabs. Anyway I have had enough of this for one day and am going to pull the plug.

 

Hi everyone,

Just come in from the kitchen, slaving over a hot oven- made 4 Bramley apple pies, 1 plum and banana pie, 3 apple betty's, 1 small apple turnover and a wrapped banana. Also made 7 jars of Apricot jam for a boot sale on Sunday.

Having a rest with the fan blowing on my feet and an iced cappuccino, bliss.

Oh still having leg dressed, and now because his blood pressure has been high over the pat 2 months is on Ramipril, which he had before when we lived in Cyprus, but they took him off it when he had his bypass.

Hope everyone is not overdoing the sitting in the sun, we don't want any sore heads tomorrow-only hangovers!!

 

Good early evening everyone,

Sorry to everyone that is under the weather at the moment and hope you all feel better soon

We have been trying to be busy but the tennis has held things up at times so this morning we got to the lottie at 8am and didn't leave there until just before noon.Mr Kandy was over there from 10am -4pm yesterday but had been busy putting out 80 veggie plants then had to build a shelter for them out of fence posts and netting and the stoggies{I think that is what Loli calls Potbellies}have landed on the netting pushed it down and then nibbled the tops of the plants We have had to spend time in the heat this morning putting that right again.Oh and we have shifted over 50+dustbin bags of leaves and filled five of those ton bags that i use as compost bins and after we had finished we were worn out.

Picked lots of Strawberries and raspberries and even shared some of the raspberries with Mrs BlackbirdHave enjoyed some of them with ice cream as well

This afternoon I have watched the ladies tennis final and then went to our local country park for a nice stroll but i had left my camera at home so couldn't get any photos of the wildlife and flowers although Mr Kandy did get a photo of two ladies walking round the country park in their bikinis.Luckily though they had good figures so it wasn't too bad,but most unusual summer wear for walking round a country park

By the way,I have had a letter come through this morning informing me that the age I shall be getting my state pension is now 66.As if i didn't already know that

Enjoy your evening everyone and do mind that heat
