    That's why we're able to sell so much local honey. :blue thumb:

    I just saw a pig getting ready for take-off. :roflol:

      Good morning everyone, Wish I could take local honey for my allergy but being diabetic I cannot.
      Roll on tomorrow, shall be glad to get this vote over and done with don't suppose I shall get the result I would like but then you cannot have everything.
      Have a good day everyone, stay dry and warm and safe and well, God bless. :wub2:

        Good morning,

        I hope you are all full of beans this morning :hapydancsmil:.

        It's overcast here but no rain so far :fingers crossed:, I was hoping to get the grass cut before Kev returned tomorrow but there's a lot of dag this morning, I think it's far too wet :rolleyespink:, it is June after all so you would expect the grass to be soaking wet wouldn't you!!!!:roflol:

        @CanadianLori I'm pleased to hear that you can have some time in the garden this morning, good luck with your potting table :dbgrtmb:

        @"M" it sounds like you are really busy. I'm possibly wrong but can you have a look in the boot of your car for the washer pipe? A work collegue had a terrible problem with her car being wet all the time it went backwards & forwards to the garage for repairs but the water problem was getting worse, anyway I had a look & the washer pipe had split in two places & although there was still water passing through the pipe most of the water was soaking into the car! :doh:

        Veronica (one of the hens) has spent her morning clucking at a pigeon :heehee: & chasing him off! It's hilarious!

        The garden is looking very lush after all the rain we've had, my roses need deheading the rain has certain ruined those :sad:

        Best I get a move on, I have quite a lot to do today, but I must check on the greenhouse etc before I leave, I must get my priorities in the right order!! :loll:

        Enjoy your day everyone :grphg:

          Aloha everyone,

          It's very mild out there but overcast with rain forecast for tonight.

          I'll get some more mowing done today and do a little pottering around.

          I've noticed that we have a load of passion flowers that have opened. :blue thumb:

                Morning all, hope everyone is well.

                My day off today, biked round to the barber shop first thing this morning for a haircut. Nearly got mowed down by someone pulling out of their drive in front of me (and I was wearing a hi-vis tabbard :rolleyespink:), got to the barber's - loads of people waiting in there, so I turned round and came home again. Oh well, never mind.

                Better get started on the housework now. Have a good day folks.

                Nice to see a good owd bit o' Suffolk here on GC @Beckie76. Now dew yew goo stiddy wi' that thare mower gal. :biggrin:

                    Good morning WW'ers
                    Grey but very humid out there this morning.
                    [​IMG] Certainly hope not! :cmonhug:

                    I expect you see a lot of those in your location :snorky:

                    If it doesn't go the way you'd wish, at least you won't be alone ;)

                    Ah, now that's an interesting thought, thank you. Since they stripped the car and unblocked the blocked blockage thingywotsit we've had a drop or two of rain here and when I used the car yesterday, it was ... dry! :phew: But, if it fills up again, I shall certainly bear that in mind :thumbsup:

                    Great news! :thumbsup:

                    Maybe you were destined to only have the one close shave today @Trunky :comfort:

                    Well the hot, damp weather has brought my annual summer PITA: midge bites! :rrant: My wrist has swollen up quite a size. Clearly the marmite I had on toast for breakfast didn't act as a deterrent; nor the garlic dhal I had for lunch :th scifD36: and I've weeded all the herb Robert so can't resort to testing that theory either :doh: Time to go the Avon route I think :heehee:

                    Healing vibes for all in need of them and miles of smiles for all xxMxx

                      Good afternoon,

                      I'm starting to feel tired now, the long days I've been doing whilst Kev has been away are starting to catch up with me :old:, for energy purposes I've had to eat two chocolate biscuits! :whistle:

                      I didn't get the grass cut this morning it was far too wet, now it looks like it's going to rain :rolleyespink: so I will save that job for Kev :heehee: on his return :whistle:.

                      @"M" Fingers crossed that the car is now sorted out .

                      @Trunky do you have any antihistamine tablets?

                      @liliana :dbgrtmb: I'm pleased to hear Peter is feeling better :hapydancsmil:.

                      That's coffee break over so I'd better get on :thud:

                        I got a lot of mowing done, cleared half a wheelie bin full of bindweed, pulled up some rose bay willow herb, shared some of our lunch with Sarafi :cat-kittyandsmiley: and took all the dead wood off our 7ft high fuschia magellanica :blue thumb:

                          Sounds like everyone is very busy which is wonderful as that means we're all in good health.

                          I spent my morning working rearranging things outside. Now it's a proper mess as I had to leave to go

                          Had loads of fun - did have a little issue with the wind getting under my goggles but that was only a minor annoyance !

                            Well done Shiney. Been on the phone to the doctor and the hospital all day today. Have been given another operation date of 9th July, but the surgeon still hasn't been in touch with my own Doc. so I am still suffering with the same problems which stopped the operation going ahead before! I feel like screaming nobody is listening to me when I phone the hospital and the docs surgery!

                              Good morning everyone, oh what a night of thunderstorms and torrential rain. I am waiting for it to ease off so I can take Amber out.
                              Have a good day all and don't forget to vote! Stay warm and dry and above all safe and well.
                              God Bless.:wub2:

                                Aloha everyone,

                                It's slightly damp out there. :doh:

                                I opened the Polling Station for the workers :snork: at 6 a.m. and at 7.15 got an emergency phone call. As it was raining so hard the voters were walking a lot of water into the hall and the floor was dangerously slippy :hate-shocked:. I found some rubber mats in a cupboard at the hall and it has sorted out the problem. I also gave them a mop and bucket. :heehee:

                                Then I travelled to the next village to cast my vote - by a peculiarity of ancient boundaries I can't vote in my own village :th scifD36: :doh: :thud:

                                Be careful to keep your powder dry :)

                                Have a great day :biggrin:

                                Aloha!
