Yawn yawn, wakey wakey Autumn 2018

my lovelies

Well another dry day but I hope it stops cool...as I've got washing to catch up on besides other wife duties...that comment was added just for @KFF

Hopefully today I can move my two Astilbes

Everyone have a lovely day and best behaviour

 

Good day
It is raining here at the moment and I was delighted to see the water smoothly flowing down the gutters into the rain barrels. I do hope it does clear up in the next few hours as I was planning on taking my sister out to a craft/garden center and a lavender farm before going to a granddaughter's birthday party.

If it doesn't stop raining, we'll leave later and just go to the party.

I'll try to send some our rain over to those who need it. It sure made a difference around here!

Have a cool day and play safe

 

Hi everyone, I guess I am late on parade today, I thought I had already posted earlier.
Enjoy the rest of your day and stay safe and well, God bless.

 

Good morning everyone. Shiney, how old is Barry? I wonder how he is going to cope when you pass on as you do so much for him. You will have to live until you are about 120 years old to make sure you are always around for him. I hope he enjoys his birthday lunch.

Have a good day everyone, it is lovely so much cooler and wonderfully wet! Take care all, stay dry and above all safe and well. God bless.

 

Good day,
I am looking at the start of a day with blue skies. The plants out there probably grew a foot overnight, given all of the rain they have been getting. And now sunshine to follow.

My sister and I did get to the nursery and the lavender farm and the birthday party yesterday. The skies lightened up from about 20 minutes into our drive until after we got home. Very pleasant

Today I have the sprinkler fellows coming to repair one of the heads. I would normally do it myself but this one is in a difficult spot and I'd prefer to have the experts do it the once and the right way.

Then I'll be looking at a day of puttering. Lots of weeding to do. I will also be cleaning and using thinner on a patch of the driveway. A couple of years ago I had a company re-coat the patterned concrete with clearcote that also had lots of shark grip to make it non slip. Unfortunately, I believe they put far too thick a coat of the stuff on and it is all starting too look like I have spread waxed paper out there. And, of course, I

had to wait for a dry day to try this. Hopefully it won't be too humid either.

Have a cool day and play safe please
​

 

Good morning everyone, WOO, hope you are feeling a lot better now the temperature has dropped.
Have a good day everyone, stay safe and well. God bless.

 

Good day,
@shiney I'm glad to hear that the forms might bring a little good fortune to Barry. I usually do not like receiving those brown envelopes from our government. As soon as I see it in my mail, I think "what now?".

It looks like bright skies today and the ground is still well soaked from the last rain we had. My sprinkler system is now fixed at the cost of a heart palpitating $469. It is ready to use even though it is now not needed

I hope everyone has a pleasant day and do please play safe

 

Good morning everyone. Shiney, glad Barry enjoyed his lunch and hope the DWP forms prove good for him.
Have a good day everyone, stay dry and above all safe and well. God bless.

 

Good day,
We have clear skies and moderate temperatures today.

I opened up the windows yesterday morning and am enjoying another fresh morning.

I am about to start lining some bakinng pans with parchment in preparation for Christmas cake baking. I've been soaking the currants, raisins, etc for the last 36 hours in fruit juice and brandy. I've also got pastry ready to make butter tarts. It is so nice to not have to worry about heating the house up whilst using the oven.

Have a super day everyone and please play safe.


Oops.. didn't hit the reply button sharp enough.... now I have all of the above baking done...
