Yawn Yawn, Wakey Wakey..!! MK 6..

Morning everyone,

Its going to be another hot day today....they said we may see some rain later today, i sure hope so!!

Off to the grocery store soon.......so have a great day all.

 

Good morning everyone,

It's a bit dull out there this morning and rain plus strong winds are due to hit us this afternoon so hopefully it will wait until my washing is dry first

Moyra hope the visit from the landlady went off ok and that she doesn't decide to sell the place now you have spent all that money on itand by rights she should drop the price of the rent ,not put it up

Loli,yes I forgot that chooks like to eat slugs,but we can't have any as our garden is too small and with three cats they would soon end up as a meal for them

Shiney,I assume you were playing against yourselfs yesterday as the place you live is in Essex and you were playing an Essex team or is that just a different league? {Sorry i don't know an awful lot about Bridge }

Woo,hope you have a lovely Birthday today and time spent with your family and Grand kids

Anyway we managed to get a nice pleasant seven mile walk in on Saturday afternoon although it was a bit chilly when we turned round and walked back to the car Yesterday morning we went to the lottie and while i picked more raspberries Mr Kandy weeded the peas.We have our first pods growing and have found some beans on the Runner beans so will soon be eating the first ones of the year

Had to push my car to the top of the drive yesterday and today we will have to try and bump start it to get it to the car hospital so just hope they can get it fixed today

Enjoy your day everyone

 

Aloha everyone. Well the meeting went well with the landlady but her daughter kept winding me up with statements that weren't helpful. Each time she said something like, well you know you have been enjoying a lower rent here than the market value I felt like saying well you could hardly charge us the going rate with rain coming in the back bedroom and the disgusting state the decoration was in instead I said yes well you have just had a heating system completely renewed at no cost to you and now all this decorating and I would think 16 years of uninterupted rent is worth something on its own. So I am expecting an increase but I stipulated that as a new lease I wanted Steve recognized on it as a permanent resident and also Amber as being allowed as previously included in the lease.

Well all my peas, beetroot and carrots are all finished now and I didn't know whether to sow some more or give it a rest. Think I will give it a rest this year and see what next year brings.

Not so nice this morning, got a bit damp walking Amber as it was that fine rain coming down. She didn't care. Well I hope you all have a good day, take care everyone. Aloha

 

Good morning everyone,

Its another hot day here......we had a tiny sprinkle of rain yesturday, thats it......no where near enough to lift the fire bans that are in place.

I have a couple deliveries to do for Brad, after that i plan on doing some weeding....got the lawn cut and trimmed lastnight, so thats done.

Have a great day everyone.

 

Good morning Shiney and everyone

Moyra,how disgusting that the landladies daughter had to keep goading you like that about the rent. As you say you have been a good customer of thiers for all those years and they havn't even had the decency to keep the place up to a good standard while you have lived there.Pity there are no laws to make them pay out of their pockets to keep the houses/flats in a good condition and i bet the home they live in is like a palace Our carrots are rubbish this year and despite resowing we only have one at the moment and it is too late to sow any more so will have to buy the cheap ones from Mr T

Shiney,the car problem was the battery which cost nearly £98.55 to replace then there was the diagnostic check and the VAT so not much change out of £190. Our beans are growing well but the tiny beanwon't be ready for eating for a couple of weeks yet.I see now what you mean about playing for Hertfordshire in the bridge comps

The sun is shining out there this morning so hopefully will have a nice day weatherwise so might get some more raspberries picked today but the ground will be a bit soggy after yesterdays rain

 

Good morning everyone,
The sun is doing her best so far this morning
Every year my Runner beans have been great but this year they are really struggleing..yours sound very happy Shiney
My raspberrys and strawberrys have been good and picked and podded the broad beans which weren't too bad....Kandy my carrots are looking hopeless and the potatoes blighted....Tomatoes looking lush and very green....can't see them ever going to ripen though....cues,lettuce and celery not bad
As usual plenty more jobs to do in the garden again today...as they say "make hay"...
Wishing everyone well,take care

 

Aloha everyone,

I enjoyed some lovely small carrots from the ones I sowed. I pulled them small because that is how I prefer them. The beetroot I pulled were small to middling again as I like them. The peas were disappointing. I thought I would crop more off them but they seemed not to rebloom once picked if you know what I mean. so they had become very straggly and nothing much on them so I cleared them.

Lovely morning this morning what a treat to walk Amber in the sunshine! Might be able to do something useful in the garden today. Have a lovely day everyone.

Aloha

 

Good morning everyone ,

Its still hot here, they are saying on the news that we should be seeing some rain today.....i sure hope so, so i'm going to hold off on watering for now.

Today could be the hotest day on record in Ontario, with some area's seeing *50 degrees, or *122 farhenheit!!

I am off to the mennonite`s this morning......so have a great day all.

 

Hi all,

Just poking my head back in....i`ve been to the mennonites, and came home and watered, still no rain...heck even my tomato plants were seriously drooping......so everythings watered, including the grass.

Come on rain!!!

Off to fold some laundry and need to vaccum the stairs.

 

Good morning everyone.

A bit cooler this morning and the dark clouds are racing past ready for todays rain but the good news is that summer is finally on it's way as the jet stream is finally being kicked up the bum so should move further North any time soon

Got loads more raspberries picked yesterday ready for freezing and even manged to get some weeding done although i was sinking a bit on the wet earth

Enjoy your day everyone

 

Good morning everyone,
I'm going with my brother to the Driffield Agricultural Show todaywe used to go every year but haven't been for the last few...I bought a handmade trug from there 15 years ago and it fell to bits at the weekend...so i'll see if i can get another one today...but this time i will use it for it's purpose instead of putting all and sundry in it...
We've been advised to wear boots as there is a possibility of 'showers'....the sky is looking rather grey at the moment but we'll be prepared....it's the only event so far this year that hasn't been cancelled so we'll make the effort
I hope you are feeling well today,Take care
