Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Morning Woo, Natalie, Kandy, Rosa, Shiney, Peri and all.

Woo it has been so very warm and sticky here also through the night, really uncomfortable but it's nice to be able to have the windows open and a cool breeze flowing through lovely.

Rosa I'm over the moon for you sweetie about your car I can just imagine you running about like a superstar with your top down.... on your car that is!:hehe: Enjoy yourself hun you deserve it after all the grief you have had with the car so far.

Rosa Bob doesn't see himself as ill at all in fact since getting the news he's at stage 4 kidney failure it has given him a new lease of life and he acts like superman he will take on tackle anything!
Sadly I have to watch him like a prison guard to make sure he doesn't do too much just getting in and out of the car leaves him out of breathe, he just refuses to admit to the doctors how he struggles I think it's because he doesn't want to be hooked up to a dialysis machine anytime soon but it will happen.

Peri go steady sweetie and take things nice and easy with your new house remember you don't have to rush not that you could in this heat!

Natalie it's 'looked' like rain all week here you know a very close heavy feeling in the air sadly no rain yet and by 'eck it blooming hot..... I feel like the Wicked Witch of the West 'I'm melting, melting. Ohhhhh, what a world, what a world' :D

Kandy how lovely for you that your shallots are ready, ours are just starting to go brown on the tips of their leaves does this mean that they will be ready soon too?
I'm sure you and Mr.K. will make the most of this weekend together and I hope it stays nice for you.

Shiney well done with winning your bridge leagues and good luck with your cup final I bet you and your team are over the moon with the results.:gnthb:

I had no doubt that you could 'win' the letter/phone war with any one of your problems areas, I for one would bow to your greatness and wouldn't dare to go against you!:hehe:
I'll try the email thing with the RAC and see if I can get a result i.e. an apology and a promised that we will not be let down again would do me fine.

Bob and I managed to sand down quite a few deck boards that we brought last year (which we never got round to putting down due to getting the allotments) that I 'picked' incredibly dark and regretted it soon aftwards. Bob wasn't convinced that they would sand down well but they did indeed although we do have to finish the rest toff today.

Don't get on to me but I'll be doing a naked rain dance later on in the garden not to scare the birds away (but I'm sure it will) but just asking for rain of course!:yho:

Have a nice day guys.Hel.xxx.

 

Maybe we can watch it on youtube? :lollol:Post the link when you've uplaoded it:gnthb:
Hope your back is feeling better Peri. Wrong week for it to happen when you are moving :(

 

Morning all.

Well the dance 'worked' as it rained through the night but already the grass is dry so it's off to the car boots for us this morning.... if we don't go now it will be a 2 mile tail back!

The neighbour situation has taken an horrific twist (well it totally shocked me!) but I haven't got time to explain it to you until later then maybe you can aid me in what to do if anything.

Right I'm off I'll speak to all you sleepy heads later enjoy your sleep guys.:snz:
Hel.xxx.

 

morning helen and everyone.
helen enjoy your car boot, intrigued to hear whats been going on with the neighbour situation do hope everythings ok with you and bob in all of this, will hear from you later and watch them check out tills in B&Q guess you wont be going there anymore.
got my car back yesterday its running like a dream the owner of garage even filled my car with petrol to the brim it was £52 that sure was nice of him and got another 28 days warranty so lets hope nothing else goes wrong dont think i could cope with that again, anyway im pleased its back, the garage sold the rover we had so thats gone to a good home they will have a good car whoever bought it.
have a great day

 

Good Morning everyone,

Well we have thick fog here this morning which means it will be a hot day today:yho:

Shiney,how can you tell when the garlic is ready to harvest because we planted our first lot last Autumn and Mr K scraped away some of the soil round the base of one of the bulbs and it was quiet large but we cannot tell if they are ready or not.

Hope your evening with friends went ok:thmb:

Peri,I suffer with Sciatica and can tell you thta sitting down is the worse thing you can do with the condition.I have found that sitting for too long even at this computer traps the nerve even more and have found that you need to keep moving all the time.I had it quiet bad the other year and it went on for eleven months and I had Osteopath work done,plus an MRI scan to find out what was causing the pain.I do hope you manage to find some relief as it is a horrible thing to suffer from:(

Hel,hope you enjoy your car boot today.I would never be able to get Mr K round a car boot so have only been to the odd one or two over the years :D

We find that our shallot greenery starts to go brown and the bulbs should be in a large cluster and each bulb quiet large.I usually lay them out on my slatted staging in the greenhouse to dry and then once the foliage has gone dry thye are ready for pickling or eating

Rosa,hope you are enjoying your new car and lets hope you have no more problems with it:thmb:

Hope eveyone has a good day

Morning Rosa,they are talking of 29c down in London today but I bet it will be more like 35c.Glad I don't live down that way:hehe: We are supposed to be having it hot here as well but at the moment it is damp and misty:(

We sat and watched the tennis last night with Andrew Murry and then went outside when it had finished and never came back indoors until after nine.Got some good photo's of some of my garden flowers and even got a good one of a night flying moth and a hairy caterpillar:D
