Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Morning everyone,hope you all had a great weekend and a good Fathers Day for all of those who celebrated it:thumb:

Had a good day yesterday,mr Kandy and myself left home quiet early and took a load of plants over to the allotment where Mr Kandy preseded to get them put out into a spare piece of ground which I quickly rotavated to alow him to be able to ut in the plants.He then had to put down some net cloches after I had watered them in to keep the birds off as they are begining to get a right pain in the bum.:rolleyes:

Our peas have germinated in a week so they too have had to be netted and Mr Kandy has also put out the Butternut Squash plants that we are trying for the first time this yearas Mr Kandy has got a taste for them.

Shiney as you are the BS,expert can you give me soemadvice as to how much room they will need as I am sure somewhere I read from you that they can be quiet rampant,Ta...:thumb:

LoL hope you have had a good weekend especially now you are getting into the peak holiday seaon..

Helen hope that Bob is feeling a lot better and not doing too much in the garden.

Rosa,you will need a holiday after all the work you have been doing to your flat

Have a nice day everyone in all that you do.I shall be over at the lottie at some point today watering all the stuff we put in yesterday and some of the other stuff that went in last week:D

 

Hi Kandy and all, yes had a great day yesterday taken out to lunch got some nice presents(some garden gift vouchers) looking forwards to spending them,hope you are looking after your back Kandy and not overdoing it wrestling with rotavators,I'm shipping out loads of plants today for sale at a garden party in aid of charity I usually get well looked after with tea and cakes provided by the older ladies,have a safe day everyone:thumb:

 

morning everyone, we have had glorious weather so warm, sat on my balcony yesterday it was a pleasure seeing all my climbers growing lovely, just put my outside lights back up around my arch.
well nearing the end got a few strips of paper to finish in my lounge and kandy it is handy me doing the decorating but very tiring these days and saves money rather than getting someone in.
brother arriving at 9 to finish my kitchen, hes going to skim my ceiling, tile the walls back were they were smashed and grout them and the floor.
will be busy tommorow guys are coming with all my things that were in storage, 50 boxes to open.
have a great day all

 

Morning Kandy, Walnut, Marley, Rosa and all.

Shiney nothing beats a village fete lovely to see your neighbours enjoying themselves although sometimes I wish the children had a volume control switch on them or it could well be just be me getting older! :rolleyes:

Kandy we are joining the ranks of lottie holders with you sweetie, never thought in all my life I would get so excited about an over grown patch of land before but boy am I looking forward to getting stuck in.

Walnut if the ladies look after you too well with the cream cakes etc. you might just have to add an extra mile or two to your bike ride to work those calories off :D, I'm sure you will enjoy yourself both with the cakes and the ladies as well.

Marley glad you had a lovely day with your grandchildren hope the weather was nice for both them and you.

Rosa it will seem just like christmas opening all those boxes only problem you will know whats in them all....never mind it will be lovely to have your flat to yourself once again.

Off to the lottie in a short while to see the guys there gotta to keep them sweet! Have a lovely day people no matter what you are upto.Hel.xxx.

 

Lol Shiney you posted while I was checking my spelling.

Boy you have had a busy time working away darling I do hope you were well looked after by both your sister and b-i-l.:thumb:Hel.xxx.

 

Good morning, everyone.

It seems like you have all had busy weekends with your various outings and projects. We on the other hand had a lazy weekend ... Saturday the temperature soared to 38.8 so we were invited over to our friends for a swim and game of ball in their pool .... it was SO refreshing. Their grandson has a blow-up banana float and we had great fun with that! :rolleyes: It was almost like being on holiday.

Yesterday we made the silly decision to go to the beach for lunch ... all of Portugal was on the Algarvean coast I can tell you! There was no room for tourists. Parking was a nightmare. :eek: In the end we went to our favourite place (Kalu Bar which is well hidden and you have to know where it is) and had a lovely lunch. The temp was only around 30 and there was a wonderful sea breeze. We got to see the new ferry 'Volcan de Tijarafe' embark on its maiden voyage from Portimão to Funchal (Madeira), a new weekly service, a 21-hour journey.

It's supposed to be cooler this week, only 24 now, so will get a few outdoor tasks done.

Enjoy your day!

 

Good morning everyone,well another day dawns.I can't believe that we are into the middle of June already:eek:

Shiney hope the power isn't off too long.I expect that is what you get when you live out in the sticks:D I passed on your message to Mr Kandy and he hadn't realised just how much room they would need.We have already lost one Cucumber plant so that is one less to worry about.

Walnut my back is ok when I stand upright,it is only when I kneel or bend down that it starts to play up so I have to stop what I am doing and go and do something else.:rolleyes: Glad to hear you had a good fathers day with lots of nice prezzies.:thumb:

Lol,sorry that your seaside trip was ruined with all those damn portugese people.They should stay indoors and just let the tourists go to the beaches after all that is why they pay good money to visit these hot countries:D

Helen enjoy your allotment plot but don't try to do it all at once,there is plenty of time to get it all done.You now need to go to Plotty's website {Edible Gardening} to see how he has brought a derilict couple of plots round to perfection.If you need any advice just shout.

Rosa,looks like you are going to have fun with all the unpacking of your 50 boxes,rather you than me,at least it will look good when everything is in place.

Got all the watering done yesterday and got stung to death by all the nettles I was trying to pull up,and I have also got a split lip which keeps bleeding when I smile.. Ouch.

Enjoy another warm day everyone
