Morning all!

Glad the girls had a lovely day Halight - give them some extra birthday kisses from their MSE Aunties and Uncles today

Up with the larks today - well actually new kitten Brian batting my nose at 6am Both she and her sibling are doing well now - they came from a horrid cat lady house two weeks ago with cat flu, fleas and very underweight. A friend of dd(19)'s smuggled them out as she was worried about them. dd(19) has the boy and he weighed half what he should, the girl that i have weighed three quarters what she should.

dgs(4), dd(19) and I are off to Christs Hospital later for some sort of open day - my neice is at school there and we haven't seen her for ages. We've rustled together a picnic and the weather looks lovely so far.

Have good days

I'm glad it's not just me that gets excited about these things I also get excited by the smell of new washing powder & fabric softener, new pegs & getting a free 'water hippo' for the toilet free in the library last week to name a few recent ones :rotfl: The family think I'm mad!

Morning all,

Happy Birthday to the Halight girlies xx

Haribo :rotfl::rotfl:

Beautiful day here again, the weather has been sooooo good, the last of the US visitors are off home this morning, we said our goodbye's last night, and we sobbed again, dont know when we will get to see them again.

I have three ripe tomatoes on my plants :T, and lots of cues, will try to get some more photos later, its all coming on very well.

Today I need to strip the bad and get that washed, and then have a tidy through, and then off into the garden for a while.

I also need to get out for a walk as I have not been this week due to the visitors and I am feeling slugish.

I think we will have tacos for tea, which we should have had friday, but got bumped due to visitors.

OK better get on, have good days all x

Happy brithday to the halight twins.
Hope Mrs N9Eav gets good news soon.
Congrats to twink on the impending DGD. x
Mioliere, your new home sounds wonderful.

Ruby your garden is making me jealous. All my tomato plants (and there are alot ) are flowering well but no sign of any toms yet. I fear a glut of green tomato chutney again this year. :rolleyes: All the flowers and shrubs in the borders are looking fab though so the garden is pretty, if not productive. Did manage to pick a few peas yesterday and the lettuce is keeping us going.

Sitting in the garden now watching the birds and the frogs. We seem to be getting new frogs all the time and they are playing musical ponds. One even seems to have moved in with the fish. They all leap out when the toad leaps in the frog pond so yesterday I sank a bucket into one of the borders and surrounded it with slate and rock, filled it with water and a spare water plant and he's in there now, happy as a.... well... a toad in a bucket.

Fancy a nice walk today on the coast but the dog spent so much time swimming in circles round the boat yesterday that I haven't been able to wake her yet. :rolleyes:

Have to do some shopping later but am just doing a tuna and bean salad for tea. Need to give the place a hoover too and quick swish and swipe as I need to do a full day in the office tommorrow. The girls break up from school on Tuesday and then we are away the following weekend for holidays.

Have a lovely Sunday eveyone.

Haribo x

Yes. I have been showing all the plants a good time with the brush. My OH wonders what they've got that he hasn't. :whistle:

I have 25. So you win.

Good Morning Everyone

Havent had a chance to read the thread yet so ((hugs)) etc.

Didn't post yesterday as it was an early start helping my sisters ex move out of the house. It wasn't very pleasant but was civilised so that is a good thing.

Plans for today is to get ontop of the house and garden. Later I'm hoping to go to the in-laws to have a splash in there massive paddling pool.

Have a good day everyone
