    Morning folks :spinning:

    @Trunky - hope you are feeling better after your DIY disaster and I hope your pride heals speedily too ;) :heehee:

    @shiney - :waggy: You over do it *every* time :doh: Healing vibes :cmonhug:

    @CanadianLori - so pleased to hear the bunnies appear to be growing :hapydancsmil: Loving the updates :blue thumb:

    @Zigs - you don't *need* a day off for an excuse to be naughty! :shakehead: :heehee: :watch:

    @moyra - lovely picture today; brought a smile to my face :dbgrtmb:

    @wiseowl - hope your blood test goes smoothly and they don't take too, too much. Have a goodly brunch straight after and *before* you have to drive to Gravesham ;)

    Been a bit under par recently, well for the past month :redface: but yesterday morning was a turning point so I attended our "walk-in" clinic at the surgery yesterday morning. Gave required samples and was given some tablets but by last night they were making me feel even worse! So, a very early night for me - bit of a pity really because I finally invested in a BBQ earlier in the day as it was one of the very few days where we were all home at the same time. Once everything was cooked I took myself off and left the menfolk to clear up. They won't get much out of me today either because I don't think I have ever felt so washed out as I do this morning. I'm sure once I've run the course of tablets that normal service will be resumed ... by which time it will be back to work :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

    While I'm having some quiet/me time, I'll have to give some thought on where to put this new BBQ. I've always had an idea in mind of where I would like an area for one, but, there is still much to be done before that can happen: so, a temporary place needs to be found for this year.

    Smiles and vibes for all

        Aloha everyone,

        I'm almost back to my creaky old self. :hapydancsmil:

        @wiseowl hope the blood test goes well :blue thumb: I'm sure you've been doing all the right things to get your balances correct. :)

        @"M" I wish you better. you get the menfolk to run around you for a change :thumbsup:

        We've had a power cut for the last six or seven hours. so I've been out picking courgettes and raspberries (we never planted them so it's either down to the birds or @Zigs ) and harvested 12 courgettes and 4lb of rasps.

        Now that the powers is back on I'll have my shower (needed the power for the dryer for my flowing locks :heehee:) and then it's off to the club.

        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

        Aloha!

          Good day everyone
          @wiseowl I hope they don't drain you. And as @"M" said, have a lovely brunch.:blue thumb:

          @"M" I'm sending you a data stream of my energy. Grab it and use it to charge up your batteries please. :grphg:

          My bunnies are still with us. I only take a peak once a day as I don't want to take a chance on spoiling the nest for mum.

          I will be busy all day catching up with little chores and errands. Nothing earth shattering, just an accumulation of "to do" items to scratch off my list. The sun is shining and one of my to do's is to make more parrafin fire starters which I shall use the sun oven to accomplish. :)

          Play safe everyone. :hapfeet:

              Aloha everyone,

              Yesterday was a lovely day without being too humid and they forecast a sticky day today. I don't think that I'll wait for the 'possible' heavy thunderstorms tomorrow and shall put the sprinkler on the veggies. :blue thumb:

              Yesterday's powercut was mainly a very low power morning. Not enough to power the freezer, lights (just about gave out a red colour) or computer but enough for the TV to work. I thought that it was now against the law for them to let the power drop so low and that they had to cut it when that happened. :scratch:

              I'll fill up the bird feeders and potter around the garden today, get some paperwork done and start arranging a holiday for the winter.

              Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

              Aloha!

                      Good morning fellow WW'ers :spinning:

                      Thank you @moyra @shiney and @CanadianLori - I'm feeling a bit better today, so that is great news :yes: Must have been that data stream of Canadian energy (hope I haven't depleted yours Lori? )

                      @shiney your courgettes are going great guns! My two plants have misogynistic tendencies :th scifD36: :doh: One of my chillies has turned orange :hapydancsmil: Does that mean it is *ready*? :noidea: I did try one at the purple stage but it was on the bitter side of tasty so I've got my :fingers crossed: for the orange ones :snorky:

                      Watered the pots/troughs/trug early this morning and actually remembered to feed my tomatoes :heehee: Expecting a hot day today, however, having said that, I've just come in because there's a fair bit of cloud going over and it is hinting at rain - well it would (!) I've watered the pots!! :shakehead:

                      Not having an energetic day today but I do have a project I'm working on (for months!) which I have finally fathomed out and can get on with: it's a sit-down task. :heehee:

                      Miles of smiles and positive vibes for all

                        I've had enough of the sun today! I've just come in from working out there for a while and 82F (28C) is too much for me. :phew: So I'm in my office with the aircon on.

                        @"M" our courgettes are growing like mad (apart from two plants that haven't any flowers yet) and I have the sprinkler on them and some of the beans. There courgettes are two different types of striped ones, some dark green ones and some yellow ones.

                        You should be able to eat the chilli whilst it's orange but it will get hotter as it goes redder. So try an orange and see what you think. :blue thumb:

                          Good day everyone
                          It is a sunny day again and I intend to make it dry my laundry. Going to make sure the lines are full before taking the van in for it's regular maintenance.

                          @"M" I'm glad my datastream reached you. I have large reserves of energy and am always willing to share :)

                          Play safe everyone :)

                            Gooooooood morning fellow Wakey-Wakers :spinning:

                            Overcast morning today but it did make for a lovely mini walk with Ozzy :doggieshmooze: I'm missing our longer walks and I know he is too. He walks really well on the lead and I use an extendable one for our walk around the allotments but it would be so lovely to see him run again. The physio is going well (at least I think so) and he is taking to it extremely well. Ok the lure of a morsel of sausage is a great motivator for him but it is like being back at doggy school once more: he is *thinking* about what he is expected to do, he is *doing* it ( :phew: ) and seems to be getting a lot out of it in terms of an activity. Only time will tell if we're working it correctly but the physiotherapist is due back for a visit towards the end of the month so I'm hoping for some positive feedback.

                            #1 son loves spicy food and when we were in the garden yesterday evening, I proudly showed him my orange chilli :pathd:

                            "What's it like?"
                            "No idea, why don't you try it"
                            I pick it off the bush, he pops the whole pepper in his mouth ... :) .... :huh: ... :toohot: ... :runforhills: ... he couldn't get to the fridge for a glass of milk quick enough! :lunapic 130165696578242 5:
                            His eyes and nose were streaming! :heehee:
                            Best entertainment I've had in a long while :loll:

                            Wishing you all a day full of smiles

                                Aloha everyone,

                                @"M" It's good to hear that Ozzy is improving - and enjoy himself. :dbgrtmb:

                                Ah!! The folly of youth. :loll: Didn't he think about, maybe, just trying a little bit first :doh: I usually eat three or four with a meal. :thumbsup:

                                Although they've forecast possible heavy rain today it's sunny and warm at the moment and it wouldn't surprise me if the rain only got as far as the field at the back. :noidea: So sprinkler on. :blue thumb:

                                Shopping to do today as we have students on Saturday and friends on Sunday.

                                Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                                Aloha!
