Yawn yawn, wakey wakey winter 2018

Hello,

Happy New Year! I'm a few days late , I hope you all had a fun night New Year's Eve? We stayed in this year Kev has the man flu which is doing its rounds, he's really poorly.

It's so windy here, I could hear the roof tiles wrattling in the night, thankfully we don't have any damage.

I don't have any wild birds on the feeders this morning, I guess it's too windy . The hens are free ranging but finding it hard to walk in a straight line! The Bantums are snuggled up in the flowerbeds.

I hope you are all safe, please be careful if you are out & about today.

Have a good day

 

Morning later people

Bit stormy overnight

Have a good day everyone

 

Gooooooood day to you, fellow WW'ers

This year has got off to a mixed start with one bit of "Yay!" news followed by one bit of "Oh, blast it!" news Such is life! However, my optimist gene is still winning so the family had better get ready for some "onwards and upwards" banter ... or else!

Work yesterday was pretty busy (well, it always is, but particularly yesterday) but, despite that, it was one of the first of my late shifts where I got away only 15 minutes late - it's usually nearer an hour! Good job because I have found that all this seasonal celebrating has left me feeling a bit washed out. An early night seemed a great idea, until I was woken by the strong winds. I wouldn't let them defeat me - oh no - I turned over, pulled the blankets up higher and, with a determined effort, went back to sleep

@Beckie76 - wishing Kev a speedy recovery; not nice when we see our loved ones poorly

@moyra - hoping you are feeling much better and as pain free as you can be

@CanadianLori - hope you haven't got buried under a snow drift and you are safe and well?

@shiney - perhaps you could take something for that wind of yours ... it is so powerful we're feeling it here in Kent!!! (Maybe take a break from the chillies for a couple of days? )

Miles of smiles for all xxMxx

 

Hi all fellow members

Shocking weather here nothing but winds and dreadful days and some of my plants am looking a bit shocking

 

Good morning,

Oh dear, the weather Dull, gloomy, wet, miserable, damp, please bring me spring or at least some cold bright frosty days where you get so much done .

Kev is still poorly, he's off work again today let's hope I don't get it, he's almost lost his voice , I couldn't cope with that!
Thanks for the get well message @"M" .

My garden feeders are full of birds again today, the wind has eased here thank goodness. My mistle thrush has also returned, she's pulling worms out of the lawn faster than the hens!

Best I get a wriggle on, stay in the warm if you can & enjoy your day everyone

Goooooooood morning fellow WW'ers

Healing vibes for all our poorly people

Well, despite the weather, work was very busy this week. I think after all the celebrating of recent events, coupled with how busy work has been, it was the reason I slept for 12 hours last night Not something I generally do.

One highlight of the week was the delivery of a special gift for Ozzy. I was refunded an online order and used the money to buy him one of these machines ...
... it is what they use at his Hydrotherapy place and it really gets down into places brushing simply doesn't get! His coat soon builds up with dander/dust and goodness knows what else. Well, arrived home on Thursday to see it was delivered. I set it up, put the extension lead on the patio, turned up the setting and "Boom!" we were off!!! It was quite windy anyway and the moment that nozzle went near his fur there was dander flying here, there and everywhere. He was so excited, he ran round the garden, ran back to me, pointed his body at the blaster then back off for another victory lap around the garden. It was hilarious! The end result was ... well, suffice to say it looked like it had snowed in my garden Lots of pickings there for nesting material He'll get another blast this afternoon, but I shall do that one in the bathroom (now that the worst is off).

any food in it?

Youngest son started a new job yesterday and is back there today. It is a "filler" job; something to be getting on with until the next intake in the other job he's waiting on - which could be as late as April . Yesterday and today are training days and just next door but one to where I work! I was sooooo tempted to wander by yesterday, but thought better of it. He'll be at that location until training is complete, so it might work out that I can give him lifts to work and back. For now though, there is a car pool laid on by the trainers and he's taking advantage of that. Good job really as I don't work Saturday

Today I need to take all the decorations down - yes, it is a day late, but I had no energy by the time I got home yesterday and I'm really not superstitious enough to worry about being a day or so late.

Also need to go back through my seed box as I'm sure there is something I should be putting in around now. I've been waiting to try out the heated propagator I bought last Autumn in a sale and I'm fairly sure there is something I ought to be putting in there too

Miles of smiles for one and all xxMxx

 

On my way ...
