Plotting, we like plotting Can't keep track of all these different bin arrangements! MrsMoo - not heard anything about suggesting new laws but would be a good idea!

Plotting sounds kinda interesting. Im loving all the gardening I know what you mean about soil, kind of gets everywhere. Im a bit jealous as I still dont have a garden to speak of, maybe next year, have to make do with the poly and some pots for now.
Im guessing you prefer the garden to paperwork a bit like meself.;)

Hi again! Hmmm.... don't know about loving the garden work .... I don't mention the downside (tho it sounds like I do, oops). The constant pain in my fingers from doing physical work, in my clavicle and shoulder ditto (knife-type pain, both of them) ... I lean forwards naturally, and the garden work accentuates it, so I look about 80 ... the feeling that I'm one step from chaos - for instance, bending down to heft this f**king soil around, it makes me notice the places where so much of the mortar has fallen out - I'll need to get to grips with that too, and hopefully before winter, when the next frosts will give it another good go.

I love the **garden** tho sitting out on the patio with a cuppa tea, reading a book. Looking at the plants. Looking at the bees interrogating the lavender watching the cob nuts grow ... admiring my sedum ... its lovely

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Is this you with your red hat or purple coat on?
That made me giggle, sorry I know it was meant to be serious but I heard you scuttering out loud and had a vision of you bending over in the garden wearing purple.

Ahhhhh, isnt that just the best thing in the world to do. Just "be" in the garden.

Morning Karma et al,

I love to just 'be' in the garden. We've had such a battering with the rain in the last couple of weeks that it's like a slug convention out there :mad:.

I'll be getting out to plant the last of my bulbs later today ... well just watching the forecast now, so maybe not

Plenty of warm soaky baths with relaxing potions are required after serious gardening

"I shall wear purple

And be a turtle

In the garden.

I'll bend far over

To smell the clover

And bathe

And wave

To all."




:D:D

You're right, Lula, I'd kind of forgotten about a nice relaxing bath afterwards :T

Today, hmmm, I will try to get rid of a bit of soil, but I'm meeting up with the local committee folks, and then having a, y'know, committee meeting erk. The only good thing is that it takes me to an area I used to go to for mystery shopping, and I quite like the ordinary shops there, a bit different and all that.

:hello: Hiya! Yes I'm good, thanks - slightly lurgified at the mo so I've decided to have a day of doing nothing now, and throwing vitamins down me, in hopes of shaking it off.

I went to a car boot sale in the next little town along from me - urg ..... it was horrible! .... there was a real feeling of *poverty* about it not nice at all. To compensate, I went into the Cancer Research charity shop :D:D which felt rich by comparison, and spent £2.85 on a beautiful long sleeved fitted blouse with embroidery on one shoulder. Lovely.

Odd at the moment - every single thing that I've logged in to, including this, has thrown me off - I'm wondering if I accidentally erased all my automatic log ins? Its not about money, because I haven't done online banking for ages, and thats all protected by rapport anyway .... very odd.

I've really had to slow down this weekend - doing that digging for the patio border must really have taken it out of me _pale_ I think the rest of today is just going to be playing on the computer, chopping up stuff for a salad, and watching DVDs. Not that I'm complaining, you understand :j

Hope you feel better soon KC :grouphug:
