    Morning campers, happy happy happy!!!!!!! Sorry I’m just bouncing and happy, and full of sunshine at the moment.. Blame meds, they make me “high” when I have to increase each week, then they settle down eventually after a couple of days..:D

    Not a lot going on here I’m afraid, I have been gutting and not gutting the house, if that makes sense.. Depends on what mood I have been in lately as to whether I go completely mad on the house and cooking, or not!! But the good news is that the house does still look presentable and I can have people around if they want to come round, but they must tell me first as I cannot cope if people just turn up..lol Maybe that’s why I don’t see many people in the house..lol


    DH took me to Kent Garden Show at the weekend, which I thoroughly enjoyed but did start to get a bit twittery towards the end of the day as I had used up all my spoons coping with a lot of people jostling me. But the times I was coping we had a lovely time, I bought a few plants that I wanted and I actually managed to locate another Chocolate Cosmos to replace the one my dear Bear wrecked in the winter..
    :D Think this time I am going to plant the Cosmos in a big plant pot, that way he can’t get near it.. He has managed to wreck my carrot plants in the veg plot when he managed to get in there through a gap in the net cage.. Thankfully he can’t get in there now..lol

    The birds are still coming in the garden, although I have noticed there aren’t so many baby ones now. I do still have two baby starlings that don’t seem to want to leave their mum for some reason.. Poor mum is having terrible times with them following her around and she is having to feed them too. And it’s not as if they can’t feed themselves as I caught one of them feeding quite happily from the bird table. Mr and Mrs Robin have disappeared, we just have Mr Robin now. He has probably chased away Mrs Robin to another garden especially as robins don’t like to have another one on their territory regardless if they are a mate or not.
    :( Once the babies are born and fledged then that’s it, Mrs Robin is surpluss to requirements. :( What a strange world the Robin family is. Unfortunately Woody is alone again, I do wish he would find a mate and stay with them. I feel really sorry for him as he latches onto the doves, I’m sure he thinks he is a dove..lol. Mr and Mrs Dove are still in the garden and now even tell me when it is time to feed them – cheeky wotsits!! We have still got our chaffinches, they seem quite happy with all the bird food we give them. I’m not as it costs a fortune buying different varieties of stuff..still I do enjoy seeing the different birds. Thank goodness I found somewhere that I can buy it all online in large quantities..lol

    Not sure how much I will get done today as I have a friend coming round for lunch today
    :). Really looking forward to her coming as I haven’t seen her since October and this is the first time she has managed to get time off in the week when she hasn’t got anything else planned i.e. going away etc!!

    Tomorrow I have STAIRWAYS therapy which I am really glad about. The last one was cancelled due to sickness, and it means we haven’t had therapy for just over a month now.
    :( Believe me I’m ready for it.. Plus I have a few issues to clear up with the other girls, which is another reason I withdrew from nearly everyone. Hopefully it can get sorted out in a “safe” environment.

    Oh well back to the ironing, although must make a cuppa before I start and take meds. I really need to get this cleared, then showered/dressed and then a quick tidy up of the living room and major hoovering. The cats have decided to play “who can get the most cat litter out of the tray and on the stairs”, thank gods it is all clean. I think it can safely be said they like the new cat litter..lol
    :D I should hope they do as my porch looks like a pet shop what with 40kgs of cat litter (I gained 20kg from my neighbour as sadly her cat passed away last week and she had an unopened bag of litter that she thought we could use), and about 20kgs of different wild bird food (robin food/mealworms/peanut granules/bluetit food etc..)

    Good to see you posting
    LL, hope you are okay. I’m back in Natty land again so hope you are prepared for me pestering you every day via text .. hehehe!!
    Just read the sad news about
    mummyslittleboy passing, what a sad thing to happen to her family. They must be devastated. Makes you realise doesn’t it..?

    Piggers love the frog list, I too prefer it when someone can choose what to do for me. I don't mind writing the list just am not very good at doing it if you know what I mean..lol Wonder if we can make it a regular thing :)
    Well done
    G&B on passing you exams :D

    First one up again, had a terrible time yesterday having to insist that hubby goes to the docs, he's got some horrendous ear infection...bear with a sore head doesn't come close.
    Anyway, thats the third family member on antibiotics for ear/throat stuff.

    Bins put out, chickens released, cat fed, off to do next doors also.

    Tried to tax car yesterday but queue was awful and staff said they'd only deal with so much of it.
    I'll have to risk heading to PO today or maybe just do it online then its done.

    Going to make chipotle chillis in adobe sauce today found a really simple recipe so I'll make my own as they are quite difficult ot source, gone a bit mexican with my cooking.

    Right off to find coffee and some motivation for today.
