Yawn Yawn, Wakey Wakey..!! MK 5

Good afternoon everyone,

Shiney,sorry didn't realise where Mrs Shiney's course was held and had forgotten about the wrinklies bus pass that you can get,so you are right in letting her go on the train especially as she is busy knitting as well in comfort.

We had mist this morning when we went to collect some more leaves at around 8.30 while our leave man is attending the Memorial service elsewhere and there was also two dumpy bags full of grass and leaves in his next door neighbours front garden and I had to be careful when i worked in the grass bag while Mr Kandy held open the dustbin bags as i didn't want to breath in any mold spores which would go down onto my chest like they did the other year.I can do without antibiotics thanks very much:D
Managed to pick some more Autumn raspberries so will have them later on today,but they are slowing down now so won't get many more once the frosts come although they are forecasting heavy rain by next Friday:D

Our allotment rent has gone up from £18 a year for 30 pole to £30 and there are a lot of the old boys complaining that it is a big jump but we are still cheaper as private allotments as oppossed to what we would pay under Council run allotments

I am surprised Shiney as to how quick the Excema is clearing up.There is still a bit of a light patch and it was itching like mad in the night but hopefully will soon be gone as it was a bit sore.:OUCH:

We have a lot of sun here now although we drove home in mist again but the sun is out now so it looks like it is going to be a good afternoon

 

Good morning everyone,

Its not as cool here, so i plan on working outside, doing my window boxes and urn's.

Have some laundry in and Brad's at work, so i'll go up later and do the floors for him.

 

Thankyou for the kind thoughts everyone, much appreciated

It has been a lovely day here, warm like a spring day.

 

Morning Woo and everyone,

Woo we have quiet a few flowers still out in flower as the weaather has been so mild including poppies and campanula and it has added an extra piece of colour to the garden:D

After lunch yesterday we went off to the garden centre as we had some vouchers to spend and bought an Amaryllis called Evergreen which as the name suggests is green all over including the flowers.Mr Kandy opened a few of the boxes to check the condition of the bulbs and found a nice one with baby bulbs attached to it so we had that one:D

On the way back home we drove to a farm where we knew Short Eared Owls had been seen and spent a delightful hour or so watching twelve of these magnificant rare birds flying and calling to each other.Only wish we had the camera and lens that one chap had,mega large and mega expensive but the photos he was taking were of magazine quality:D

Have a good day everyone

 

Good morning All,
It's a lovely bright morning here,better than the last couple of days as they've been a bit gloomy...i've still a few plants to 'shuffle around' in the garden so i'm going to crack on....Have a good day everyone

 

Morning Loli and Shiney,

Loli,hope all goes well with the moving round of your plants,and at leats they will get their feet down before the worst of the weather comes along.

Shiney,sorry I forgot to mention the other day about Barry and hope that you amange to get something decent sorted out for him.It must be such an upheaval to be having to move out of the home he lived in for forty years especially ift aht was the home he sahred with his parents.Sometimes the officals just don't seem to think that far ahead especially as they jsut want him out and into something smaller so they can get in more rent from another family.Good Luck and hope your meeting goes ok and that he gets his life back to some sort of normailty if that is possible.My thoughts are with you at this most stressful time.

 

Morning Everyone,

I notice yesterday that my strawberries are blooming up again? I hope that it doesn't damage them when the frost comes. I have thrown a piece of fleece over them.

Shiney, Good Luck with your endeavours with regard to Barry, I really hope you are able to ensure that he is not moved unless it is to somewhere equally suited to his disablement as where he is now.

Thanks for the flowers W00. I lay awake at night and listen to the radio LBC all night.

Have a good day everyone.

 

Morning everyone!!

Its sunny and warmer here today, so i plan on puttering outside, plus i have a couple errands to do for Brad.

 

Oh dear sounds like an 'eck of a lot needs doing Shiney, what did Barry think of it? If they want his house bad enough then they should get on and get it done.

 

Enough said, Shiney. They want a bomb put under them and even then they wouldn't move. Seriously hope they do get on with it though.
