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

Aloha everyone,

I have just had a session on the back massager I bought for Steve. Very good. Feel like a herd of elephants have just walked over my back! No seriously it was good. Just makes me want to stretch and wriggle my muscles around.

I thought we were going to get some real rain but not seen it yet. Could certainly do with it now am not going to cut my grass as I want the grass to protect the lawn from drying out. I made what I think will be the last lot of coconuts shells this summer. I need to give my poor lilac tree a rest from dozens of starlings attacking it all the time. Also it will give the great and blue tits a chance to visit without hassle. I need to clear the wheat from growing under the tree too. So if there is no starlings coming in then maybe I stand a chance of clearing it up a bit for the summer before it gets the treatment again come the winter.

I hope everyone else's back are getting a chance to recover and Kandy hope your toes are too. Take care everyone.

Aloha!

 

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm still hobbling around and am glad to say the bruising has started to fade a little at the base of the toe but still have the large patch on the foot.Managed a bit of a walk with Mr Kandy last night but he walks to fast for my liking so i think he is going to have to go on his own while i stay here with my feet up

I have found the start of a Goldfinches nest in the lower branches of my lilac tree,but am wondering if it is a young pair and they don't know the dangers of building a home low down in a tree. I have moved one of my Niger/Thistle feeders round to the front garden so they don't have far to go to feed themselves.Also had a pair of House Martins clinging to the eaves yesterday so lets hope they nest under there next year

Shiney,glad to hear you had a good holiday with plenty of walking and sunny weather and the shopping sounds like my cup of tea It keeps spotting with rain here but then the clouds go over so i have now started to water the plants with the washing up water to save my water in the water butt for later on when we get the heatwave

Moyra,I have had to give up with putting nuts in my feeders as they have gone off of them,just prefering the fat balls and seed mix i put outGlad to hear the back massager is helping.

Woo,do you have breezy weather today down your way?If so be careful when you are flying because it can get pretty dangerous out there

Loli,i don't keep getting logged off but can't post photos from PB properly now.It keeps telling me the files are too large and it took me and hour to put that foot photo up the other day and they even have adverts on there now

Have a good evening everyone

 

What a lovely cat, he's beautiful.

 

Good morning everyone,

Kandy i'm pleased to hear your foot is mending albeit slowly...it will take time though...i hope it's feeling less painfull.......I had Goldfinches nesting low down in a Spirea last year....i didn't actually know they were there but unfortuatley the chooks did and only one chick survived
Beautifull photos Shiney

It's a cloudy but very mild morning here ,i hope the forecast winds for down South haven't caused any problems for any of you

Wishing everyone well...
Have a great day and take care

 

Aloha everyone,

WOO glad your back is on the mend. Shiney it is raining here in the heavy wind but I don't think it is registering much on the garden. Enjoy your day with your company.
I am going to phone for an appointment for Steve to see the Doctor re his back as its about 5 or 6 weeks now and he has had very little improvement if any he takes one step forward and two back I'm afraid. My back is tolerable but then I am used to pain. I might have a go on the massager later.

Have a good day everyone, take care all. God bless.

Aloha!

 

Aloha everyone,

Shiney, enjoy your day with friends, glad yesterday went ok. Don't overdo things in the garden. I have left my grass I want the lawn to have a good soaking before I cut it again and I am going to higher the blade on the mower so that it doesn't take half the root system away!

Hope everyone is ok, Waves to WOO, Loli and Kandy and others who we do not get to see so often. Have a good day all.

Aloha!

 

Good morning everyone,

I hope everyone is OK
I'm late on parade this morning...actually slept in for the first time in years....probably due to being up half the night doing my 'John Cleese' walk trying to get rid of cramp

Still having problems logging on but we'll get there
Planting out Mums bedding plants today and my lawns need cutting too but i'll see if it's dried up enough from yesterdays down pour......

Wishing everyone well,
Have a lovely day,Take care
