Yawn, Yawn, Wakey Wakey!! 2016

Foot's better, car's booked in on Thursday

 

Hello everyone.
Just popping in quickly to say that I am here.
Been through the wars a bit. Recently had to have a 2 hour IV drip of lidocaine to
help me with my Fibromyalgia pain. I have also been put on a list to have it done again.

Started trying to get some plants out, but it takes me a long time to do it.

Write again soon

 

Wondered where you'd gone Lilly

 

Aww, Lil's How do you feel about having it done again? You ok with that?
Just take each day as it comes, my lovely; and if a whole day seems too daunting, just take it hourly

 

Or, should that be (in order of priorities?): car's ok; foot's booked in for Thursday?

 

Good morning everyone, much nicer looking morning out there, must get Amber out for her walk. Lili, Sorry to hear you are still suffering badly, do take things easy.

Have a good day all, take care keep warm and dry and above all safe and well, God bless.

 

Good morning

Chilly start here but the sun is out .

The funeral went well yesterday it was at Hengrave Hall, beautiful setting, the gardens are very pretty & there's a beautiful lake. Food & canapés were very yummy . (For those of you who watch corrine one of the girls on their married at the hall, I believe it was all over Hello magazine)
His daughter did the family tribute, she did very well.
My dahlias (which are living in the kitchen ) are doing very well now I have five shooting I'm sure the others will catch up.

Buttercup is still broody! & really grumpy! She growled at me & pecked me yesterday when I took her out of the nestbox!

@liliana im sorry to hear you've been feeling so poorly, I hope you are soon on the mend look after yourself.

@moyra, it's very cold out please wrap up warm when you take Amber out

@shiney I hope you are not in any pain, be careful if you venture out into the garden, I don't want you to get cold in your back

@wiseowl I hope all is well in your nest? & you are feeling much better

@"M" I hope you have had a nice dog walk this morning....thermals out again??

Enjoy your day everyone

 

No, I do not mind, at least I will know what to expect afterwards .

 

Morning all

I managed to have a reasonable nights sleep, it does help with the pain, if I am
fully rested.

Flipping chilly, I put newspaper over some plants last night, luckily the frost was not
too bad, when will we finally get some decent weather?

My 'Baby' boy, Adrian is 35 today, where has the time flown.?

Well, I hope to make it to the craft class today. We now have an allotment, and
I have the job of supplying the plants. Luckily I have a lot of spares, I do not mind,
as I will not be able to clear the site.

Well, have a good day everyone.

 

We have had a very upsetting situation here this morning, there is a new cat on the block and it is after our birds. He caught a ring necked dove this morning and broke its wing and it was bleeding so badly Steve had to put it out of it's misery. He said once upon a time he would think nothing of disposing of pigeons and doves but now every living creature deserves to live. He thinks maybe we should stop feeding the birds, but we love to see them all coming down to the feed table. The difficulty is the blackbirds and the doves and pigeons tend to stay on the ground. The last thing we want is to make an easy target for these stray cats. Steve has made all the ground wet around the shrub area where the cats come and has taken the bottom layer of cover off the shrubs. We are keeping a bucket of water handy for if the cat comes back and Steve has also groomed Amber and laid her hair about in the hope it will put the cat off.

 

@moyra I am sorry to hear that you had to witness this nasty business. I have a bird feeder that I am waiting for the birds to finish with . It is now spring and there lots of other things to sustain them until the winter. I usually bring out the bird bath when I put away the feeder. The birds still come but they are elevated, no matter what, it they want a dip. I also put a dish of water out for them up on the rail of my deck. I hope you can find a solution to this part of nature we all dislike so much.

Have a safe day everyone.

 

Thanks, Lori, it is a horrible part of nature but very natural. No sign of the cat since but no sign of the birds either! Just hope it will settle down and the cats will go seek out the squirrels and doves on the green and not in our garden.
