Yawn Yawn, Wakey Wakey...!!!! MK8...

Good morning everyone,

I hope everyone is in fine fettle

Woo....mind the sun on that beak of yours

Shiney ,hope you get the power company sorted out without too much aggrevation

I logged on earlier but then looked out and noticed Mr Blackbird had broke through my Gooseberry defences and was chomping away on his breakfast......so i went out and picked what was left before they all vanished.....

Plenty of jobs to do in the garden today....need to do some tying up of plants as theres been quite a wind blowing overnight ,but the sun is out again now and it's lovely out there

Waves to all,have a great day and take care

 

Aloha everyone,

WOO you must wear a beak shade if you go out in it today. Yesterday was hotter than it appeared at first but then became very muggy.

Shiney, Good luck with your power company. Hope you get someone who speaks English.

Loli, glad you managed to salvage some gooseberries before Mr Blackbird had them all.

Kandy, yesterday's post was all about your lovely crops on the lotti, cannot remember it all but I recall you saying the raspberries were easy to pick and eat as you go. Oh yes you also mentioned your broad beans and runner beans and that you were going to have some runner beans with your roast yesterday. I hope they were nice.

Have a good day everyone and stay safe in the sun, God bless.

Aloha!

 

Good morning everyone,

I see we still have the time lag on the words I type so must be a quirk with this forum and also yesterday I had problems getting on to the site.

The weather has turned cooler here but at least the sun is shining today.Have caught up with what I was doing although yesterday we had some thunder and heavy showers so never made it to the lottie but will have to go soon as we have more fruit to pick

Looks like this years pear crop is going to be one of the best yet so had better make sure they are stored properly to keep them going once we pick them

The fresh runner beans went down nicely along with homegrown broad beans,carrots and peas and our own new potatoes so all in all the hard work is starting to pay off

Have a good day everyone

 

Good morning everyone,

I hope everyone is on form this morning....

So you got here Kandy....i understand there are one or two technical hitches at the moment and some folk are having difficulty getting 'home'...i'm sure we'll be back on an even keel soon....good job it's not down to me to sort it outwe'd all be on the moon.....

Busy day today...Taking my Mum to hospital to see the specialist about this dizzy business....it's not before time we were there...4 appointments have been changed and she has been a good few months like this....i'm hoping all will be well

Waves to all ,i hope everyone gets back on GC soon

Have a good day and take care

 

For some reason my internet keeps stopping so I am going to do a posting on a separate sheet and then transfer it onto here. I'll be back.

 

Aloha Everyone,

Well I don't know what the problem is with my internet this morning but three times I tried to post this message and it stopped in the middle of it and I had to start again as I couldn't save it. I was pleased to find that I could get into GC without any trouble this morning. Don't know what is causing my internet to keep crashing. I hope everyone else has managed to get here ok.
Well have a good day everyone. God bless.
Aloha!

 

Afternoon all,

The weather does not know what to do today, heavy showers this morning, lovely sunshine an hour ago, just had a deluge, sun back out.

Ran out to pick some lovely french beans ' Fasold' first time I have grown them, and shall definately have them on my shopping list for next year, they are delicious.Picked last of broad beans, and gathered some Savoy leaves, OH wants Bubble and Squeak this evening, so just a light steam, and they will be good to go.

Everything is looking so fresh,even the grass seems to have picked up a better hue.

Apples and pears will be a bumper crop this year, cannot wait to make some new season apple crumble ice cream.

Not doing much else, back still store from the weekend, tingly pains down my left leg,so trying to rest up as much as possible to have some energy when the garden needs some work.

 

Good morning everyone,

I got headbutted again this morning so decided to get up and get started on the day

The weather was good yesterday for most of the day,then as we were just starting our walk we had rain so decided to give up so headed back home.No point in getting wet for nothing

Hoping to get to the lottie today to see what needs picking and will do some weeding.At least with the dry year we havn't had as much of a problem with the weeds like we normally do if we have more rain.Evidently iy is going to be even hotter tomorrow.

Mr Kandys cousin is up in the Lakes on a NT visiting holiday and had solid rain for 12 hours sunday/monday but she says it does make the waterfalls look good

Have a good day everyone in all that you do

 

Morning all,

I feel a bit like the walking dead this morning, restless night, back still aching, swollen hand (going to see doctor on Saturday).

Very miserable looking outside, forecast of heavy rain this morning.

Already done some work this morning- repaired my M&S shopping bag( got torn some time ago),so I did a bit of zigzaging to strengthen the tear. Also a skirt with a seam that came undone, got that repaired, that will keep that going for a while more.

Breakfast eaten, ready to go out at 8a.m.

Hope you all have a good day.
