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

Hi ya'll,

Just logging in.

Sorry not been able to do much on the computer this week, since starting my new part-time job, it feels as though I am working full time.

The lady I work for has MS, and she has asked to work for her permanently,
between 2- 4 hours a day. That suits me fine, I therefore have to change all my normal routines, shopping etc. She is a very nice lady, but she has a bit of problem, and that is she is addicted to shopping channels and junk mail offers. I have explained that the envelopes promising that she has won thousands of pounds, are bogus, and as we go through all her mail, I have started sorting out what will be sent 'return to sender'. Its such a shame, I know she does it through depression and boredom, hopefully, by myself going and visiting, she will find the courage to change and save herself some money.

Then when I come home by 2.30pm, I sit and have coffee and biscuits, go through the mail, chat the OH, it's 4pm. I start then to do my gardening jobs, and before you know it, its time to make dinner.

Thankfully I am home all day on Saturday, but I making Strawberry Jam to sell a the boot sale on Sunday. Most of the afternoon will be taken up sorting out what I am taking, as it should be hot weather, so I won't be taking any of the woollies, but as I hope to take a lot of my tomato plants, they need to be selected.

Heyho, I shall crash with a nice chilled glass of vino, and gather myself for tomorrow.

Waves to all, hope you are all ok.

 

Good morning everyone,

It's a beauty here this morning,chilly but lovely and bright and fresh....

I hope everyone is on form

My weekend on so i should really be getting a move on instead of wandering around the garden

Have a great day everyone and take care

 

Aloha everyone,

Oh WOO far from looking a mess it is looking lovely. With this beautiful sunshine I feel I ought to get out there and do a bit more but I could do with going shopping for some more bird seed. Those big sack's don't last that long. It must be costing me nearly £5 a week just for the birds but then they do bring so much pleasure. There is some sort of wheat or chaff in that seed that the birds don't like and consequently it gets left on the ground. I have a lot to clear up. Must have a look at some other mixed wild bird seed to see if I can avoid it in future. Take care everyone and have a good day today.

Waves to Shiney, Loli, Kandy et al, hope you are all ok on this beautiful morning.

Aloha!

 

Wow, have Steve and I been busy in the garden today. Had a rethink. I have emptied the two troughs today and put them on the floor Steve has made the tables that he previously made to house the troughs on into frames for the wicker to be screwed securely to them thus making them more sturdy. They look great.; I have decided not to do the sweet peas and nasturtians in the bungalow bath instead we have emptied it of soil. Steve gave the bottom a quick coat of rapid fix with sand and we are going to use it as a very large sand pit for Amber to play in. She loves to dig in sand to find her toys which steve burys in the sand and up until now she had a small plastic tub of sand but the plastic tub was disintegrating in the sun and frost so now she can have the bungalow bath with a lot of sand in. It will give her some exercise and at the same time she will keep her nails short by scratching them on the bottom of the bath on the sand pitted finish. I managed to strim the edges all round and to then mow the grass all round to make a nice tidy finish. Now I am going to call it a day. Have a good evening all, God bless.

 

Woo it looks lovely

 

Good morning everyone,

Have a lovely day everyone,take care

 

Great photo Woo....I do love your sunrises.

 

Aloha everyone,

Shiney, you are a right gentleman, you really are special. Food all looks nice and prepared.

Yes, I cannot wait until Amber has sufficient sand in her bath so she can have fun and the thing is it is deep enough to keep the sand well within it where as the plastic tray she had before the sand ended up all over the patio

WOO hope you feel better soon dear man. This sunshine will do you good. Take care.

Loli sounds as though you have a busy day ahead.

Waves to Kandy, lili, mum et al. Hope Penny is ok haven't seen her lately.

Hi ya'll,

Just got to sitting down with a nice cold frappe coffee.

Been up since 5.45am, having got up to do a boot sale. Had a really good sale and sold about 40 tomato plants, and a good deal of jams and chutney.

I shall to get a wriggle on this week, because I need to make some new stock.

Repotted and cut back a lot of Fuchsia, making a lot of new cuttings.

Fish and chips for lunch, and ginger beer, yum !

Got any early start for tomorrow, my MS lady wants me at 9am, then I have to take the OH to Reading hospital for his 6 month checkup for his prostate.

Waves to all, have a good evening.

 

Aloha Everyone,

Good to see you Lili and that you are doing well. Good luck for your OH hospital appointment.

I might take a ride out today to get some tomato plants to put in my cold greenhouse I can always cover them with fleece on cold nights or put a frost stat heater in there.

Waves to Shiney, WOO, Loli, Kandy et al. I hope everyone is ok. Take care all, God bless.

Aloha!
