    It's pitch black outside, I haven't finished my gardening.....and it's not time for dinner yet :confused::confused::confused:

    And just as the grass dried off and I was thinking about getting out the lawnmower(s) (I do enlist the piggies help - they are very effective :rotfl:), a large black raincloud came out of nowhere and emptied itself all over me and my garden :mad::mad:

    However for those of you who have been worried about my freezer contents...;)...Pebble guinea has been finally laid to rest :Abeneath a beautiful shrub Nandina domestica "Plum passion"...(referred to as Heavenly bamboo but it's not bamboo really :confused:)

    The monkey garden is taking shape...most of the structural shrubs are now in place..but I think I might need a few more perenniel plants :D

    I 'm off for a bath as I am a very dirty and very wet Wol :o

    Thats lovely for Pebble, we planted an apple tree over where our guinea pig is.

    Seeing as it is not time for dinner yet I would have a pre dinner snack but then that could be why I am at Slimming World now!

    Hope alls well x x

    ....and pre-dinner snack = glass of wine....oh dear.... :o

    Hugs Hun....looking forward to your next internet bonfire night displat :j:rotfl:

    Hmmmm.....don't think we'll have long to wait ;)

    Will have to compost my bean plants next weekend Bob :cry::cry:

    Courgettes too (actually they've pretty much given up - not as good as I would have hoped this year..and as for the the aubergines...well they flowered prolifically but nothing set...not a single purple swelling in sight :mad:)

    ....Ooops.......Hi Z..:hello::hello:

    Well I have just had one of those stupendously brilliant hot baths where everything went according to plan :beer::beer:
    ......the temperature was just right..:j.and there was enough hot water to keep it topped up..:T:T......and it was DEEP :D

    So all is right with the world tonight..piggies been fed/medicated/watered etc. Mufins bottom is looking much better :o...Fleure's weight is stable at 900g....Grommie is still very chipper (and randy :o)...but Beech is still wheezy.

    The roast veggies are almost done (as is the lamb steak in tomato.celery and every herb I could pull up fromn the garden :D)

    I have two lots of House to watch :beer:

    I now have my recovered hard disc files back..:T..(will look at that tomorrow)...and while still behind on the work , as long as I keep focused over the next three days should just about catch up. And October will be a good invoice month :j

    Sigh...I do so love having that warm, cosy feeling back....

    Am glad all is well in the Wol household tonight.

    I tried the heavenly delight - its not as good as angel delight and seems to be a bit firmer if you know what I mean? Its back to the angel delight and no imitations accepted now:D Managed to wash my towels and hang them on the line - yet again I missed the kitchen towel:mad:

    Not much done today - played games on facebook, chatted on the 4Networking forum, booked a breakfast meeting for Tuesday morning over at Studley Castle in Redditch (must find an easier route there tomorrow as I seemed to go a bit wrong before:rolleyes:).

    Had a cheapo steak for dinner with some roast spuds and peas - only ate half the steak as it tasted funny (serves me right for buying meat from tatcos).:rolleyes:

    I did think about it, but I decided to leave the poor girl alone. She's been bent over all day, attending to her garden...
