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

morning all
weather is dull and gusty today so going to clean the house ( well it has to be done sometimes)
WOO have a great time at your presentation today,
Morya hope you and the lab is cooler today
Loli hope you are enjoying your week off, me and terry have a few days off next week as it's his birthday on Sunday,

Shiney we didnt expect for MIL to be called in but thats the dhss for you

Kandy if the slugs get any bigger i am going to give them a spade and they can start digging and earning their keep

waves to every one else and hopes they have a good day

 

Kandy....apparently chickens do actually 'pant' ....you learn something new every day....mine also walk around with their wings raised a little...(to let the heat out ) ...and i thought they were just being cute .....
A bit like when i first got chickens i was amazed how when i walked up to them they 'sat down'.....I thought it was pure genius that they were 'trained' so quickly...... turns out most chooks do it as when a 'shadow' appears over them they think it's Mr Cockerell.....so.....you know the rest

 

I tried half a dozen times to post then the site went down. Fortunately I kept a copy of the post and so I will try and post it now:

Aloha everyone!

Lovely picture of the clouds WOO beautiful. Ambers flat out again. Although the sun is not out it is really hot here and there is very little air! Really could do with a cloudburst now to cool it all down. Apparently it is going to get even hotter come the weekend. Shiney, that is kind of you to offer but I have just completed one long medical questionaire to do with getting council housing. I cannot see it making any difference to my place on the list. I just get told that they could house me on my own straight away but not with Steve and as I point out he is my unofficial carer.

Oh well we will face that hurdle when we come to it. Hope everyone else is ok today all backs sound and present and correct.

Aloha everybody have a good day!

 

Relief, at last!

 

Morning everyone,

Its a nice sunny day here, and we did get some rain overnight, so no watering for me today.

I'm home, so i need to do some gardening, and have some laundry on the go.

Its exactly 4 weeks today, until Natalie's wedding....OMG!!! I cant believe it, and 2 weeks untill Kait leaves for University...Brad and i will be "empty nesters" again!

Enjoy your day everyone.

 

Good morning Shiney and everyone

Thanks for the info Loli,regarding chooks and how they cool off.You learn something new every day When i was driving through our village yesterday i saw two collared doves sitting high up on a street light and they both had one wing outstretched washing it with the rain falling and they did look so comical.At least they were not in any danger from being squashed by cars as they usually bathe in the road puddles

Kaz,it sure has been a year for slugs and snails and when we went out for our evening walk last night there were about ten slugs all crossing the foot paths so we had to tip toe through them to continue our walk

Hope,Woo,Shiney,Moyra and Penny are all ok

I'm off to the lottie to dig up some more spuds and I expect the slugs will have started eating them again

 

ALoha Everyone,

Shiney, Steve and I have been on the housing list for years waiting for a 2 bedroomed place. The problem is that it had to be ground floor but I said to them recently it doesn't have to be if I fitted a stairlift. Still it will always be the young mum's with babies that get priority and/or assylum seekers. We have been on the list about 12/13 years. We have to renew our application every year.

I must go out and clear my nasturtians and sweet peas today into the wheelie bin, what is left of them. They have been decimated by the white cabbage catapillar Bit dissappointed by the few sweet peas I have managed to cut this year but the nasturtians before the catapillars came along made quite a good show!

Well this wont get the work done. Have a good day everybody.

Aloha!

 

Good morning everyone,
Kandy i love to see the Doves and Stoggies do that
Mum ,Dad and Big Brother are coming today for lunch ...so we are all hoping for a lovely day in the garden.....
I've just taken a batch of Scones out of the oven which will be filled with jam and cream.........
I need to get all the watering done early or i know my dad will be up and doing instead of relaxing
Have a lovely day everyone and take care

 

morning / night all, not long in from night shift Via the dreaded Tesco ( but at least in was quiet),
hope you all have a good day be blessed in all you do

 

Good morning everyone,

Its going to be a beautiful day here, but hot...there's a heat advisory....supposed to be for the weekend though.

Off to Toronto again today, so thankfully i'll be in AC with the truck.

Enjoy your day everybody.

 

Greetings everyone.

Had a good morning over at the lottie yesterday and got a couple of buckets full of self set spuds that we missed from last year and ones we had planted in the compost bags.I also picked another carrier bag full of peas and half a carrier bag of runner beans which took me a good couple of hours to pod and Mr Kandy used his little gadget to prepare the beans last evening so they are all in the freezer now and have had some fresh with our din dins

We have a bit of hazy sunshine out htere this morning but it looks like it might be a good day so should get the lawns cut when it is dry and to finish off my litter picking in the village

Have a very good day everyone
