What, no what small DFW things have you done today thread?!

My proper job is working with a renewable energy crop here to develop it as a biomass crop for here (willow) cos we aint got no trees really for using as a wood energy

(IE I wander round fields of willow scratching my head and asking them quietly if they wouldn't mind growing nicely for me)

And yours?

PS Thus far I have not 'lost' any willow - it doesnt tunnel, hide, bury or sneak off

If only they would wear stripey jumpers I would find them so much easier - laughing very much here, after the rubbish start to the day its very much appreciated:D

And I mean the animals, not the willow, now have very silly image in head of one my willows in red stripey jumper and me trying to spot where it is - its clearly a good sign I am actually insane.:rolleyes:

I could do that too....:rotfl:

I am/or was an artist. But as mentioned a while ago I had a serious accident and turned myself inside out :eek: It means I find using my right arm/hand very difficult (now you can wonder how I ride a horse!) So I changed direction a little and took on a small design studio in a large company. I now police and run their brand for them, well only if I can fight this corner, but that's tomorrow's job...

Well, my plan to be productive didn't work out as my computer kept playing up so all the work i had planned to do couldn't get done, leaving me very angry!!

Piquant, the job situation must be very worrying and its quite a daunting task you've been set. All you can do is try your best and trust whatever happens.

PIQ - poor you - am random, mostly very silly and not artistic but I do remember someone mentioning your accident - poor you. I'd love to be artistic - very envious!!

Horse must make you feel good though - I have my plants for that - they make me smile v much. And are (I tell myself) cheap ish as a hobby

I ask the willows nicely because this place have very little in the way of any trees, so they don't know that they don't really grow here and I don't want to scare them.

Andan - my head is dizzy with that list - your list is longer than my willows!!!

Piquant_2

Well riding is certainly not cheap :eek:

Thank you for your kind words, I'll draw up the battle plans tonight, have already started jotting down thoughts and where to get the hard facts that support what we do. Not easy times we're living in, are they?

This is why we sparkle, wear silly sock and write terrifyingly long lists!! andan!

Good evening everyone - sorry I went AWOL this morning but there was an emergency at work and have only just got into the house since early this morning:o

Glad you started the thread without me - was a little worried as i knew Andan was not going to be about either:rolleyes:
OliveOyl - loved the comment about feeling naughty without the grown ups around:rotfl:

Just read everyone's posts but the brain has stopped retaining information for the day so hi to you all,:hello: Happy Birthday to those with upcoming celebrations:beer::bdaycake: , :mad: :mad: :mad: to all the banks causing hassle for anyone, and :eek: :eek: :eek: at Andans list for the day:rotfl: :rotfl: Think that might just about cover it - sorry if I missed anything important.:o


Not much happening dfw wise for me today - although has been a no spend day and haven't used car, didn't get to eat lunch either so guess that is all moneysaving.

OH is now making tea while I get to chill for half an hour on here:kisses3: .

PS fay - never mind unravelling jumpers to knit the stripey socks with all those sheep we would expect you to at least be shearing, spinning and dying your own wool:rotfl: :rotfl:

Catch up properly later
