      Aloha everyone,

      Thank you very much @wiseowl :dbgrtmb:

      I'm just off to park my car up the road at a neighbour's house and then to start putting signs up and police cones out. It's surprising how long it takes just for that!

      Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

      Aloha!

        Morning all, hope everyone is well.

        @Beckie76 Hope your cold has cleared up this morning, do we need to keep a safe distance away from you today? :heehee:

        Woke up early this morning with a stiff neck, it was fine when I went to bed last night. :dunno: That, and the place across the road having their trade bins emptied at 6am meant no point having a lie in, so I'm up and about.

        Right, I've been outside and fed the hens, so now it's breakfast, hang out the washing, check the greenhouse and then off to Shineyland! :hapfeet:

            Good Morning everyone, so chilled through this morning, think I have caught a cold too, either that or it is hayfever. They did cut the long grass on the green yesterday and there was lots of seed around. Just used some sinex soother see if that helps. Beckie hope you are feeling better this morning.

            I do hope you all have a lovely time at Shineyland today and shall be thinking of you all enjoying all the delicious cakes and sandwiches etc. Must get Amber out for a walk now. Have a good day all and hope the weather stays fine for you all. God bless.

              Goooooood morning WW'ers on this special Shineyland Day :hapydancsmil:

              Good luck this weekend Shy Knee and Mrs Shy Knee - I know just how hard you both work and how well you take care of your visitors and their needs :grphg:

              @Zigs - are you going for the record on how many Wakers you can meet in one weekend? :heehee:

                Good Morning everyone, hope yesterday was a wonderful success and everyone enjoyed themselves from start to finish. Shiney, have you booked some time away because I think you and Hannah will certainly need some down time very shortly! Have another good day today at Shineyland.

                Lili, hope your Peter is starting to feel better, I am getting more nervous about my op on Tuesday as the day goes on. As long as they let me home at the end of the day I shall bear up but if they try to keep me in they will find considerable resistance.

                Beckie hope you are also feeling better today and enjoyed your visit to Shineyland yesterday.
                Have a good day all, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well. God bless. :wub2:

                    I haven't visited this thread for awhile as I've been skipping the yawn yawn part of the morning. Been so busy that I had to go straight to wakey wakey worky worky :)

                    We are off to a Mopar car show today. Taking our 46 year old 'cuda out for the spin and show. I always get treated to a nice greasy (bacon, yum) breakfast for riding shot gun. Always a nice reward :yes:

                    Have a wonderful rest of the day everyone!

                      Aloha everyone,

                      Yesterday went very well, as well and my back survived the day. Unfortunately it didn't survive past there and am struggling to move around. I had a couple of hours doze in the armchair and then couldn't get out of it! I'm hobbling around now but some pills and a massage from Mrs Shiney should help a lot.

                      Guess what? I'm banned from doing anything today :sad: :heehee:

                      The most popular plant, over the weekend, was the allium siculum.
                      P1280307.JPG

                      All the few dozen that were potted up for sale went very quickly. During the two days I dug up about another 100 whilst people waited at the sales tables. By half way through Sunday afternoon I told Mrs Shiney that I couldn't dig any more :dunno:

                      [​IMG]

                      Tomorrow I shall make an appointment with my back therapist. :blue thumb:

                        Good morning all, Shiney you just about survived the weekend so now I will ask again will you and Hannah treat yourself to a short break away. You certainly deserve it. Hope your back is feeling easier today.

                        Tomorrow is D Day for my op and I haven't a clue where I am supposed to register in at 7.30 am tomorrow because of the holiday weekend I have not received any further advice after being told to attend the day centre and yet they have booked me a bed on a main ward?! I expect it will be sorted if I attend the day centre tomorrow.

                        Lili, I hope your foot and Peter's problems are all on the mend and Beckie hope your cold is feeling better and you enjoyed your time at Shineyland.

                        Have a good day all, looking forward to see a file on the pics gathered from Shineyland over the weekend. Stay warm and dry and above all safe and well. The weather looks like it may break today and at least the rain has held off for the weekend. God bless all.

                          Morning all.

                          Dull, cool and windy here this morning, but still dry. Going to take a break from the gardening today, apart from a bit of watering first thing.

                          I'm off to have a look round the Cold War museum at a local former US air base this morning, I'm told it's quite an interesting place. :)

                          Then it's off to see Father-in-Law this afternoon, it's his 90th birthday tomorrow so there's a bit of a 'bash' going on there today.

                          Hope you are all well, mind that back @shiney and don't put it out again lifting all that money. :biggrin:

                          @moyra I hope all goes well for you tomorrow, my best wishes for a successful outcome and a speedy recovery. :grphg:

                            Guess what, my camera decided it would charge after all now i'm back :gaah: Must have been the Shineyland triangle, ran out of data, phone wouldn't send text messages either :th scifD36:

                            Not sure what i'm up to today, might just go and be a grockle somewhere [​IMG]

                              Morning all:spinning:

                              Feeling really rough this morning, eyes are sore and running, nose has the sniffles.:hate-shocked:

                              It was a really cold day at the boot sale yesterday, silly me, I thought it was going to be
                              a lovely day, so did not take a proper jacket. I had a fleecy gilet, that helped, but I
                              did not have a happy day, as I feel the cold very quickly. Peter was resting in
                              the car, as he was still feeling under the weather. :old:

                              Also after my lunch, I decided to go and move some bricks, to come into the garden,
                              The last batch I bought in(as I wanted to make it the last trip) was 5 in my tray.:whistle: Well,
                              that just about did me in. I had a funny turn after that, and had to come in for
                              something to put my energy levels back up.:nonofinger:

                              I am walking around like a zombie. :yikes:

                              Hey ho, better go and sit and rest before OH has a fit that I am doing some work
                              :imphrt:

                                Good day everyone
                                The car show yesterday was fun. We chatted with a lot of friends we hadn't seen since autumn. It was extremely hot and humid and being that there was not place to get shade, we did get a little bit too much sun.

                                It is Memorial Day in the U.S. today, but not a holiday here. I have shipments arriving into the storage facility in Niagara Falls, NY, but I'll save flipping over the border for near the end of the week.

                                I managed to repair my large machine on Saturday which means I'm going to get some more work done today:yes: I'm striving to get all of my orders processed and be able to take a short sabbatical.

                                Have a safe day everyone and please be kind to your bodies! :)
