Hello Everyone, Sorry I have been absent really been a bit under the weather. Shiney I hope your back is better today. I think I have had enough of this decorating and we are not half way across the lounge/diner. The dining room side is nearly done but just when I think we are nearly there Steve says I am not happy with that wall it will have to be rubbed down again! You would think he was decorating Buckingham Palace rather than a flat that hasn't seen any work done by the landlady in 23 years. Trouble is over the years I have just slapped another coat of paint over the top and now has come the time of retribution for my sins. I think Steve is wishing we just put yet another coat of paint over the top but we couldn't because the paper was coming away from the walls in places and was looking very tatty. He is taking it a bit easier today and then tomorrow he is going to finish the dining room side of the room. Get straight and leave the lounge side for a week's rest before starting again. It's the dust that is getting to me.

Oh Loli if you had seen Amber this morning she was black instead of a lovely light yellow labrador. I took her across the field with a chap who had a year old Lab/collie cross and boy did they have fun. I had to bring her back and put her into the bath and shower her off. Mind you she enjoyed being dried with the hair dryer! I have sown some pea seeds and my sweet peas as well under cloches. So its a start.

Have a good weekend all.

 

Good morning everyone.

What a lovely day we had yesterday with the lovely spring weather although at times it got a bit warm but we wasn't complaining.

Managed to get to the lottie in the afternoon and Mr K managed to get planted all the onion sets plus the shallots while i did some weeding.We saw our first butterfly of the year and the bees were loving our Mahonia flowers we have planted on the lottie

I'm off to the surgery this morning for my six monthly bloood tests so am starving hungry at the moment and won't be getting my breakfast until after ten

Hope everyone is ok and getting on with those DIY and other tasks that need doing this time of the year

It is misty here this morning so is bound to be a hot day later on.

 

Good morning everyone,
I hope you are taking it steady Shiney,you must be getting fed up of seeing those pots by now Sorry to hear about Barrys budgie...what a shame...
I hope Moyra is feeling better ..i'm sure Penny will be glad to see the back of those stitches,hope it's healing nicely....
Wishing the Kandys and Woo and all well....
Have a good day everyone....

 

Hello Everyone, Lolli glad you enjoyed your night out. I am like you rather stay in and enjoy GW but sometimes we need that push to see some of the outside world. Glad you are making progress with your buzzy border think it is going to look lovely when all the flowers are in bloom.

Kandy, glad you got your eyes sorted and that your retinal scan was good. I hope that patch that is the making of a cataract takes its time to develop!

Shiney, I empathize with you over your back mine is pretty bad at the moment. I am also suffering some lower abdomen pain and am wondering if the kidney stone is on the move.

Steve is just finishing off the dining room side of the room this morning after further rubbing down etc. I have ordered a heat gun to help clear the second half of the room when we make a start presumably in a week or so time as we cannot leave it looking half done for ever. We shall be putting the furniture back and in this week of rest I shall be going looking for some new curtains. They are likely to set me back the best part of 4 or 5 hundred pounds but the landlady's ones of 23 years are in tatters. I washed and pressed them but I cannot do anything with them. Ho hum haven't heard anything from her in the last 2 years since she told us we were her priority..........that's a good joke.

Going to roll up my hosepipe and put it away in the shed. Have ordered a new 100 gallon water butt and stand. Hope that together with another couple of water tubs will be suffice for my needs.

Have a good day everyone.

 

Good morning everyone,

Its a beautiful morning here, raining a little and the robins are out!!

I'm off this morning to get my stitches out, that should be fun.....NOT!!

And then i am off to Toronto as well, so have a great day everybody.

 

Morning everyone,

Its another beautiful day here, it did get cold overnight though....but today is going to be sunny and warm, we are breaking records all over for the temperatures here.

Yesturday went well at the Doctors, she took the stitches out, a few hurt and did bleed, but the rest came out pretty easily....so now i have to put lots of vitamin E on it to help with the scar.

Off to Toronto again today, right down at the CN Tower actually.......so enjoy your day everybody.

 

Good morning everyone....
