          Aloha everyone,

          Very mild but overcast at the moment. I'm not sure what we shall be doing today but I guess it may be some gardening. :heehee:

          The French and runner beans should be well watered. I forgot to turn off the sprinkler until 3.30 this morning :doh: :loll:

          Some of our plants are really suffering from lack of water so I'm gradually moving the sprinkler around the garden. I should have covered everywhere by the end of the week :snork:

          One of the Hebes seems to be dying and so does our lovely Freemontedendron tree :sad: Last nights heavy watering also covered the Freemontedendron so I hope it will help.

          Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

          Aloha!

            Morning early people :)

            Blimey Moyra, didn't know you'd come straight out after a general :hate-shocked: Hope you're ok :fingers crossed:

            Hope you're not on a water meter Shiney :fingers crossed:

            Hand watered the entire plot yesterday, that did the trick, it's chucking it down now :doh:Need the sun to come out sharpish after it, blight took out the potatoes at the NT garden, could strike here at any time with this damp weather, can't spray until it's dry.

            New camera battery should arrive Tuesday, until then, here's my bronze rivets from an old shipwreck.

            Have a good day everyone and don't leave the oven cleaner next to your shaving foam :spinning:

              I am! It's still a lot cheaper than when we were paying water rates based on our council tax.

                Good day everyone, er, I guess for most, it's Good Evening..

                Had to make a quick run over the border to pay my Sam's club mastercard. I didn't realize that the membership would automatically renew itself by charging to this card - which is one that I have no way of paying from here. Not at the branch, not online, nada. So while down there I took money to pay that and buy a couple of things. Mostly stuff for the kids and grandkids. :)

                Just gave everything a good watering and then I believe we're off to the pub for an hour.

                Sounds like everyone is keeping safe and @moyra I am so glad you got your procedure off of your things to do list. What a frustrating journey for you just trying to get on the operating table!

                  Aloha everyone,

                  I'm not feeling too brilliant this morning as the congestion on my chest has been a nuisance. It's not bad but keeps making me give involuntary coughs. So I don't even get my relaxing non-sleep time. It's better when I'm able to be up and around :blue thumb: but I'm not keen on walking in the dark. :sad: I'm just off out into the garden as it's now light enough to do some work. Sarafi usually joins me when I go out around this time. :)

                  Mrs Shiney is off up to London to meet up with an American friend who comes over a couple of times a year. We met her many years ago at a Murder Weekend in Kent. The first evening she hurt her back and was confined to bed by the doctor that called. Mrs Shiney heard about it and offered to try and help. Two hours later she was up and about. :dbgrtmb: They've been good friends ever since.

                  Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                  Aloha!

                          Rather breezy out there so I've come indoors to do some rather belated accounts. :sad:

                          At least it'll please the accountants :)

                            Morning all:spinning:

                            Mixed weather here in Lilyland :noidea: Just because I have to go into Newbury
                            to sort out some bank things, I hope the rain holds off. :fingers crossed:

                            Where has the last week gone ?:scratch: Bad inflammation in my back really
                            getting me down, ended up with Sciatica down both legs, and a tingling
                            on my left leg. :help: Trouble is that things still need to be done, I cannot
                            sit still in a chair for long,I get twiddly fingers. Also my other half is not
                            able to do much these days, mostly because he might fall down, and also
                            he looks at things, and does not know what he is doing :scratch:

                            Busy week with appointments, I think I shall have to take 10 minutes
                            out to smell the coffee.:heehee: That or a stiff drink....

                            Well, if I do not come into the room again this week, take care everyone, keep
                            well. :imphrt:

                                I wouldn't be buying these but did find it amusing and thought it would be fun to share as it gave me a smile this morning.

                                Got to install california shutters today and finish getting ready for company coming to stay so best get my skates on! - okay, it's in the high 80f and low 90f temps during the day here - guess I'd better change that to get my behind in gear!

                                Be safe and hope those under the weather get back on track to recovery!
