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

Aloha Everyone,

I hope it is going to be a nice day. Need to do a bit of spring cleaning as I have a friend coming from Kent tomorrow. Looking forward to that.

Must get Amber to the vets, she was supposed to have her six month check up last month but because of all the snow and ice we never made the appointment. Now we need some more flea treatment for a fortnight's time so I have no choice but to take her and get told off that she has put more weight on! Oh she is such a pig it is hard to stop her from eating. If I keep her on a lead she doesn't get the exercise and if I let her off for a run she starts eating bits of wood and fox and cat dirts. Dirty cow. So I am twixt the devil and the deep blue sea. Either way she puts on weight.

I hope you are all ok, waves to WOO, Loli, Shiney, et al. Have a lovely day everyone and stay safe and warm.

Aloha!

 

Good morning everyone,
Woo,i hope you are feeling much better ,take it easy
Shiney,i'll keep you to that i lost my old apple tree a few years back and never got around to replacing it i do miss it....a neighbour has a lovely Bramley that gets laden with huge apples that just get left to fall and rot...it's such a shame....The previous owners had a fantastic garden and an immaculate veg plot...they rarely bought a thing...they we both in their nineties...i miss not seeing them too....they were always pottering

I hope everyone is lucky enough to have weather like what i've got today it really is beautifull and feels quite mild....ventured out to the GH and didn't need my dressing gown i've a list as long as your arm of jobs i want to do today and can't wait to get cracking....it's amazing what a bit of sunshine does to spur you on

Waves to all,take it easy
Have a great day and take care

 

Good morning everyone,

Been a bit off colour for a few days and then when i did finally get on the computer had problems and Mr Kandy had to do a whole lot of scanning but everything is fine with it so don't know what is going on

Woo hope you are feeling better and looking forward to a nice warm summer this year

Moyra,hope all goes well with the visit from your friend from Kent and sorry that Amber eats so much bad stuff Our Tina used to eat horse poo if we took her round the woods where horses had been and the worst was when she used to roll in pike remains that the fishermen used to leave on the river banks and really loved rolling in Badger poo so you are not alone

Shiney,I am like you and have loads of fruit in the freezer,mainly apples and raspberries which is helping now that the food prices are sky rocketing I haven't even begun to think about our lawns yet as i am using it as a bird table at the moment for all the ground feeding birds Hope your meal went well with your friends yesterday and Mr Kandy enjoyed the chat with you the other day

Loli,I hope you haven't got the same problems with your greenhouse that i have.I made the mistake of turning up the heating when we had all the snow and frosts and now have lots of plants growing like mad and they are far too far in front now and i can't put them outside yet until the weather gets warmer.Hope that Theo and Archie are imroving slowly and that you are starting to feel better

Hello to everyone else and hope you are all having a good weekend

 

Good morning everyone,
How are we all ?.....i hope everyone is getting on the right track ready for this lovely spring i'm expecting
Good to 'see' you Kandy
Shiney you are absolutley right about the 'Garden/gardeners laws' i've said the self and same thing myself....there are some people desperate for a garden and i too think they should swap homes with those that neglect theirs and aren't interested and Yes you should be president of the Green party you've got my vote


Moyra...Theo is really piling on the pounds with these steroids and i can hear his joints clicking already....i'll be glad when he's weened off them....both dogs had a ball yesterday when i was mulching with FYM....you can imagine what they were up to i'm sure Amber would have been doing the same if she was here

It was a glorious day yesterday...bordering on summer never mind spring....got lots of jobs done in the garden and the GH I was as happy as a Loli in FYM it's mild here again this morning....5 degrees...but cloudy...still pleasant though
I've woken up with the return of my cold and a wisdom tooth that is erruptingotherwise i'm tickety boo and looking forward to get cracking again today

Waves to all....
Have a lovely Sunday,take it easy and take care

 

Aloha everyone,

Shiney, I do try to cut her down, when real weather comes and Steve can take her across the fields to run and play with the other dogs she will lose some weight then. As I say I do try to let her off to run and it is great when there is another friendly dog she can play with. I estimate she is 2kg overweight. That is what the vet said last time she saw them. It's not an awful lot to be over but it is when it keeps slipping on that we must watch for.

Kandy it is good to see you and wish you and Mr K well. WOO you sound bright and cheery this morning, I hope you are feeling much better too. Loli sorry you have a tooth playing up so do I and I said to Steve I must make an appointment. Trouble is I have not been since 1989. That sounds a long time ago now.

Well everyone stay well, stay safe and have a lovely day. I am now looking forward to my company coming from Kent not near you WOO they are in Welling which is more London now than Kent. Catch up with you later in the day.

Aloha!

 

I must be well bred then Woo as i have lunch at din din times and grub{dinner}in the early evening.I always thought i was well bred and now i know it Mind you someone the other week offended me by asking me if i was a bladdy Cockney,and i had to point out in my best Cockney accent that NO i was not a bladdy cockney,now or ever

Shiney,thanks for your good wishes,but i think i am too far gone to feel any better,but will continue to defeat the ankle seizures for as long as i can I need a good dose of Estrogen,then the pain might subside. Sorry to hear about the missus and please send our love and tell her she will have to stop kicking your shins,or failing that to go and have a couple of new patella fitted

Mr Kandy has just informed me he wants to go walkies so will finish this off later when we get back

 

WOO if you want to come to Billericay you should come and see me as I live only about 6 miles from there. You really want the Hanningfield Reservoir which is a few miles the other side of Billericay and where I live. Lots of lovely ducks and bird species and plenty for you to photograph. Lot of trout fishing on the reservoir itself. Rainham Marshes are not as far down the thames as I am I am nearer Benfleet Creek. Lovely bird hides down there in Watt Tyler Park. The TV people were down there filming the foxes last Spring on Spring Watch. Great place to visit.

Well folks I am going to go and pull the plug now so take care all, see you all in the morning. Night night.
