The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

Lemon_Tree

well i can't promise money but can promise computer time and the odd bit of food.
I had an enjoyable day yesterday, 3 scrapbooking pages done, only 4 more to go and it's done, we also emptied a big planter and i've put lettuce, spring onions, carrots, leeks and parsnips in it.
Had a mild panic as i filled it with 'soil improver' and i'm now doubting that it will be any good cos it's not as fine as compost.
hope you enjoy the moths

Well done on the scrap book stuff - working like a beast - considering quite strongly giving up I am locked away from my family ocnstantly and don't seem to be getting the support at work I need.

Will hang fire and see how the rest of the next few weeks pass -

Normal service resumed soon, once I finish another section

i should be outside in the greenhouse and finding places for all my flower plants to grow in the garden, but it's too hot outside, how's that for a lame excuse. i've friend coming around at 3 so i need to get the living room respectable so she doesn't think i'm a total slob, but really i want to get the album finished, there's only 4 more pages to go so i can see the end in sight

Did you know in Orkney and Shetland there are relatively few trees?

Isn't there a garden just outside Stromness I think where there are more trees than the rest of the islands put together? I've seen pictures but didn't know about it when we were up there last. DH used to work in the Ayre Hotel and would go to the Ring of Brodgar to draw and take photos on his day off.

And there is a mystery dog pooing in my raised bed. Mystery as in I don't have a dog and there are no holes in the fence

No holes in fence ...:rolleyes:....could be a dog with a hot air ballon landing when your not looking doing the deed and then lifting off again ................:D

Not unless they are managing to make those scrapy marks and half bury it

Now you're just being silly, the noise would wake me up. That's how I know it's not a Tardis dog as well (and yes, I know, K9 wasn't a real dog).

On balance I think it may be a fox. Have looked on internet & it could be. Possible one could squeeze under the gate. Never seen a fox round here though, or heard one, or heard of one. But we are on edge of country.

Saw a red kite from back garden Saturday .

Where is the stripey one

Had a fox sunbathing at the back of my garden yesterday ,

I live in a towny area, we have an agreement me & mrs fox she leaves the cats and rabbit alone I leave her alone ,

we've had foxes been comming in for years and they know its safe and they bring the news pups in each year to play at the top of the garden, :j:j
sometimes they wander all the way down this end and sniff about the rabbit, only once did one try to get in there ,


now the badgers a differnt story they just walk up the middle of the road making noise :rotfl:

I have a fox like that! I'm a bit worried I've scared him away, with chopping back undergrowth, poor little mite.

put some food down where he used to come he might pop back , even if its just bread the birds will eat it anyway if he doesnt come back .
