        Good day everyone
        Sat watching my show at the moment. Another half hour segment to go and then I will get in gear. I'm going to be having a game or two of scrabble with my sister later. Hope the strain of lifting those tiles doesn't pull any muscles that I will need later to lift stemware:heehee:

        Have a greata day and play safe!

              Morning all!

              Very rainy here, lots overnight and very drippy trees. Fun for walking under but not if you don't like a surprise shower!

              Hope the sun shines for everyone at some point! :)

                Aloha everyone,

                The course I was on yesterday morning was intense but interesting - and necessary. :blue thumb: I got back from the course (30 miles) just in time to have a quick sandwich and then take Mrs Shiney to see an old friend only three miles from where I was on the course :doh:

                They used to work together 40 - 20 years ago. She is now disabled (paralysed down one side) but coping extremely well.

                I'm going take things easy today as my shoulder is not good (think I strained something moving heavy hanging baskets). I've still got beans to pick so that will take a couple of hours. I'll also study all the paperwork from my course.

                Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                Aloha!

                    Good day everyone
                    It is lovely and sunny today and perfect for drying the laundry I have started.

                    Even though we have been given a heat wave to enjoy for the next few days, spinning into fall seems to be speeding up. Things are starting to look a little bedraggled in the tomato area but I see no way of making it appear more attractive so am happy that it is not situated right outside from where I usually sit. Out of sight... :)

                    I hope everyone has a pleasant day and plays safe :)

                        Aloha everyone,

                        After Mrs Shiney's ministrations yesterday my shoulder seems almost completely better this morning but I'll take it easy for a while. Picking beans was a bit of a strain with the bending, stretching up, fighting my way in amongst the plants and hanging on to the bag as it got fuller :noidea:. I managed to pick seven carrier bags full to the top. So I shall be bagging and weighing them this morning for sale this afternoon. :thumbsup:

                        I've been writing reports on the course I went on and drafting instructions for what I think is important to be put on our websites. More brain strain! :snorky:

                        I'm quite pleased with the eventual result of the stuff I sprayed on the patio to get it clean. It's taken nine months to do it but it has done a good job - with a bit more to go. I'll post pictures on one of the threads - probably 'what looks good'.

                        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                        Aloha!

                          Good morning all, maybe taking a rest from my pc for a while so don't worry if you do not see me so frequently.
                          Have a good day, take care and stay safe and well. God bless.:wub2:

                            Overcast but dry here.

                            Anyone see the eclipse last night? Was all ready to project it onto a screen with binoculars then a cloud bank came over, that was the end of that :doh:

                            Have a good day everyone :spinning:

                              Good day everyone
                              We got through another high humidity, nearly 100f day and have been promised a calming of the temperature and perhaps some free water too :)

                              While it is raining, and with things looking straggly reminding me that autumn is on the way, I am going to replace the zippers on my cold frame covers with velcro. I had made these covers last year out of 10 gauge clear vinyl and the vinyl overwintered well but I have never been happy with the zippers. I believe the velcro will do a dandy job and it should only take me a couple of hours to update each one.

                              I do have some wage earning work to do too :)

                              Play safe and have fun!
