Beyond The Garden,..glengarry23.

That is lovely Philip and no need to thank us ... we are here for morale support. Do you still have to go to the other hospital?

 

@Victoria ,

Still have to have a connection to my heart,..that will be in the next County Hospital,..until then i am taking a chance,..however tomorrow my Solicitor will call to the house with two witnesses to sign my new will,..her offices are within walking distance of my home though good of her to save me from visiting her office,..everything is falling into place,..my phone provider is back on line plus my Fibre Optic Broadband is supposed to be set up tomorrow as well ,..though i will believe that when i see it as they let me down since early March.

 

You do know that once everything pulls together, will and other things ready for various contingencies, you'll become hale and hardy, with a little added battery power

Take care my friend. Lots of things can wait until you are recovered from this set back. I'm sending you some of my good health to help you through. Stubbornness counts too and I've got plenty to spare but I do know you Irish guys have a good supply of your own and good thing too!

Hugs from me

 

Bless you Philip so glad things are more settled now...and you are behaving yourself..
I echo Vicky and Lori's sentiments completely.
We are all here for you, sending out a ton of positive vibes your way. Always remember ,we are only a click away. xx

 

@CanadianLori ,

Lol at when its all over,..i will have more battery power,..as for stubbornness that i do have,.. when i am positive that i am right i will not budge and have stood in defiance many a time against bigger odds,..it didn't gain me more friends but some walked a circle around me rather than confront me face to face,..it served me well in the Military.

 

@Upsydaisy ,

Had my Will signed and witnessed in the last hour,..ah yes progress,..the person who gains most is the one that looks after my dog Foxy Molly for the remainder of her days,..or which ever dog i have at the time i go walkabout,..no Fibre installed as yet still its early in the day.

Cold with hailstones today then the odd splash of sun,..have the fire going and not getting up to any mischief lol though i can think of lots

 

Sometimes i think of doing something then many weeks later have to check did i do what i was thinking,..or just thought about it,..with the video below i was thinking of posting but must have skipped my mind.

My own Video 'Visiting Utah and Yellowstone National Park'

Music by Llewellyn 'Dusk',...............9mins and 55 secs long.

 

I really walked at a Slow March pace on my first walk today,..a warm sunny day with a slight breeze,..Foxy Molly walked ahead of me in her own idea of a slow walk.

The road looks like a tide has gone out leaving the Seaweed.



Foxy Molly taking point.

 

A lovely day for a stroll and it all looks as if it's back to normal now.

 

Pleased you got out and about Philip to enjoy the fresh air ... but please do not go too far from home ... just in case!

 

@Sheal ,
@Victoria ,

Sheal,.. it seemed like for ever since this side of the land was clear of water,..it flooded last August and only clear in the past few weeks.

Victoria,..i will take note of that,..at present were i to fall i would be seen in the short grass,..hopefully by the time the grass is ready to be cut i will be running on some sort of Battery Power ,..however i remained at home today and just lazed about the garden,..pruning/upgrading plants into bigger pots/making use of bits of string here and there/ then spotted the Greenfly had arrived,.. mist sprayed the entire garden plants with 4 Litres of water,.. mixed with Liquid Soap and Neem Oil,..i only use 1 Tablespoon of Liquid Soap and 1 Tablespoon of Neem Oil to 2 Litres of water as Slugs and Snails are long gone since i used the stronger mixes.

 

It's nice just to potter around in the garden especially when the weather is behaving itself. That sounds like a good mix for controlling aphids Philip. I don't have problems with plant pests this far north but ticks are a pest to humans and animals here. Last year being very wet they were rife. When I'm mowing the lawns or strimming, my jeans are tucked into my socks and my arms are covered. It's hot work in the summer though.

 

@Sheal ,

Hi Sheal,..its the best mix i ever came across,..it being so moist here with rain and mists we have Slugs in abundance,..i start spraying early Spring or even before,..at this stage one would find it hard to find just one Slug or Snail,..its a long process to get to that stage as they hide under rocks in particular the very small ones.

Oh those dreaded Ticks,..hateful and painful when they get stuck in and when one removes them its a worse situation plus they can be dangerous depending what they were stuck into prior,..we don't have them on the meadows where i walk Foxy Molly seeing Cattle don't graze there,..beyond the canal yes and on the opposite side of the river.

 

The ticks here are tiny but easy to spot as they are completely black. I picked up a few last year but have a good little tool for their extraction. They are horrible!
