Yawn Yawn, Wakey Wakey..!! MK 6..

Morning everyone,

Its going to be yet another beautiful day here, however the rain is moving in tonight, but thats fine with me, better then snow!!

I'm home again today, and i need to do some errands, as well as a couple for Brad.

Enjoy your day everyone.

 

Hi Everyone, Kandy I shall ask about what they intend to do about my kidney stone when I go to the renal clinic next week. I do hope Mr. K's back is on the mend. I keep meaning to do some of the exercises that the hospital physio taught me but if it is the stone then that will not help. I would imagine male or female passing a stone is pretty horrible as the uretha in each is much the same dimensions I should think.

Last bit of wallpaper and paint clearing today for Steve but in the meantime have taken down all my curtains and putting them through the wash. Both bedrooms as well as the lounge. Last of the heavy curtains in now and then I shall do the nets. Wonderful weather the first lot are nearly dry already. Dreading doing the ironing of them all as I never usually iron anything but with these I have no choice!

Have a good day all and please go easy on those backs of yours.

 

Good morning everyone.

Moyra,I bet you will be pleased when all the decorating is finished and it is good that we have had some really good weather this week so that you were able to get your curtains washed. I dare not wash my curtains as I fear they would shirink and then they would look silly against the windows so for now I have never bothered and i expect it would cost a fortune to have them proffesionaly cleaned

Hope all goes well at the Renal appointment next week and that the outcome is good for you

Shiney,sounds like you have been busy as well. I am trying to keep on top of things while Mr Kandy is having mobility problems.Perhaps I ought to get him a zimmer frame to use although we have managed two walks yesterday albeit a bit slow

Penny hope your eye is healing up nicely and can you send some of your rain to us as we badly need it over here

We have thick fog here this morning but they say it is going to be anpother beautiful day so looking forward to getting some warmth in the house as our central heating pump has packed up so have no heating and no hot water so it looks like I shall have to have the imersion heater on if I want a shower

Hope everyone has a nice warm day

 

Morning everyone,

Its cooler here today, and its also raining....but thats fine with me.

I have a bunch of errands to do for Brad, and a couple of deliveries too.......so have a great day everyone.

 

Hi Everyone, Curtains all done. Kandy they did shrink and I had to let down the hems but the linings are in rags anyway so I am going to have to buy new curtains. Afterall 23 years is a bit much to expect curtains to last longer.

My sweet pea seeds and garden pea seeds are through so today I have sown my runner beans. Tomatos and cucumber plants are growing great guns and the tobacco seedlings are also doing well. Arhh nothing quite like the growing season! I love it.

Have a great day everyone. Sorry I am late posting.

 

Morning Everyone, Another glorious day ahead.

Shiney, hope your bridge went well. You like your chicken caserole - have you tried the new Curry chicken oxo cubes they are great to add to a chicken caserole. I also like the herb Bolognaise cubes too. Great flavours.

I wave to Kandy, Loli, Penny and Woo, who I hope is recovering nicely from his operation. I believe he said he had an operation to undergo.

Have a lovely day everyone.

 

Good morning Moyra and All....
I think your curtains have done well Moyra....When i got the cutains for the living room...about 12 years ago..we splashed out and got really good quality ones...it cost a fortune as there are 4 pairs in that room..but i've noticed how much they have faded and are starting to look a bit sorry for themselves...i dread to think how much new ones will be now....
Mr Lolimac bought me a scroll saw yesterday so can't wait to get playing with itbut my seeds come first as there are still a few more to be sown and pricked out...
This weather has been glorious,very foggy this morning though but then again thats how the last 2days started....the chooks love sunbathing and get laid flat out but the trouble is they don't get much peace because Theo has a habit of gently tapping them with his paw and disturbing them....this started last year when one of the chooks died and Theo found her...i think he was trying to 'wake' her up...so i think he's got into the habit of checking them
I've got the weekend offso i'll be going down the list of jobs i want to do in the garden....the only thing is when i cross one thing off more keep getting added....
I wish everyone well and have a lovely day

 

Morning Shiney....
A scroll saw has a very fine blade... used to cut intricate patterns in wood...you can do fret work with it
I'll try and get some pics of Theo wakeing the chooks up....it's a treat watching them together

 

Oh thanks WOO for letting us know. I do hope you are coping ok and that your wait wont be much longer. I have my Renal Clinic next Wednesday. I am wondering if they will do anything about my kidney stone. I have had chronic pains in my lower abdomen but not sure think that is more to do with IBS than the stone.

Shiney that is doing well with the curtains. I have ordered new ones this morning. The curtains I am replacing are the landladies. It is the lining that has gone on them where the sun has faded and worn them so thin they are in strips. The actual material of the curtains themselves is still very good. I shall keep them and give them back to the landlady she may be able to do something with them for one of her other homes that she lets out if she replaces the linings. She made them herself all those years ago. The new ones are jacquard in a jade green shade hope they are going to go with the door paint that is jade. They are lined and fully washable, for three pairs, three pelmets and tie backs which are free they come to £250 which I thought was very reasonable. We shall see when they come if not up to my standard then back they will go!

I think I might go and put all my hard roots out round the garden now they are growing well.

Have a glorious day all.
