Well done. I think we picked about 12 bags of apples from my garden and the pears are growing still.

It is a bright and warm day here. I might have to start doing some work methinks.

My apple's and pear's are nowhere near ready, good job to, got enough on with the wild damson's I keep picking, I'm off next week so will have a jam making sesion, already got a gallon of damson wine on the go.

Hiya boult & Kit et all - and yes, I did get up no problem for my appointment at 7.40 am and I had the injection in the base of my finger - gaud those cortisone injections do hurt a lot but I didn't cry or shout out, though I did grit my teeth and had a very tight hold on the desk :eek: We then went round to the cafe at the car boot for a cuppa and a read of their newspapers :money: before Mr 3Dogs dropped me off at the hospital for my blood tests while he went on to the auction rooms to see what he could get. After my bloods, which were taken quite easily today, rather than the norm of not being able to find a vein, I walked across town, calling into the 99p Store for a few bits, then had my eyebrows waxed and shaped, and joined Mr 3Dogs at the auction

Mr 3Dogs is currently going through the 10 crates of very good LP records he bought at the auction for £30, which is a good fair price for them, and then he is going over to view some bulk records to buy this afternoon. I am taking Linda's car for a valet and wash as it is going in for 2 yr service tomorrow, and, as it is nearby, I will pop into Sainsbugs for some things I can't get at Mr T's, with coupons at the ready of course

It is chilly today, and breezy, so I definitely needed a coat on when out this morning - lovely summer weather we are having :mad:

Hope everyone is OK - Kit, so pleased doc has identified anaemia and that can be treated, it makes sense when you have been so worn out when you think of it. Hope you feel better soon Boult, well done with your garden produce and that damson wine sounds very interesting ............... ahem, when will it be ready for drinking?? :beer:

I was very disappointed with my raspberries this year as, after lots of flowers, I got very few fruits. Either I missed them when on one of my visits up North, the weather was too dry to mature the fruit, or the birds got them :eek: I was looking forward to lots of blackberries and they have not disappointed at all - lots of fruit and it is delicious, very sweet Mmmnnnnn lovely - which reminds me to go pick some later :j :j

Sorry you are losing the battle with the birds frugaliciousness, but they have to eat too you know :rotfl:

Not yet 3Dogs, it only went into the furmenting bin this week, then it goes into the demi john, to brew, when that finished it can be bottled, then your suppose to leave it at least 6 months, so at that rate, some time next year:eek:

Hello all. Am waiting for the freezer to arrive sometime before 4pm.

Weather is glorious. I have put some washing on the line. Am cleaning the window ledges outside.

I will pop to the pharmacy later. I must do some filing but I am tired after a nice hot meal. :j:j:j
