Botanical blunderings on a budget - good life starts here.

Morning, Rodders has been up since 6 so I am about ready for a cuppa, has the kettle boiled yet?

OK banks OK - a bit of allowance to DD £30 put in bank (£10 to her savings, £10 kept back for a t-shirt, £10 kept back to pay for a bit of her new cello book)

Paid £50 to captain cc
Paid £100 to lucifer cc

Need start saving for rent! WFTC in bank in 3 days, Mr F dd in bank same day - will be OK for rent then I think.

Need to have a rake in freezer for grub and do a bit baking today too.

Its vile here - guess that means a day tidying up

:jhey up you're very lovley do you know that?:j

I'm a small fish in a peedie pond which is nice and thank you as I'd not thought about it like that before:T

Hey, you're not such a small fish, more of a great big graceful salmon (don't think I've ever called anyone a salmon before but it's meant in the nicest possible way :rotfl:)

Was thinking of you last night when I saw the weather forecast - stay cosy!

I had foraging on my to do list for today - lol - I think it will be indoor foraging - hope you're good Red?

A salmon indeed very graceful - better than an old trout I guess

Thanks Peedie, paw tip back

Hope the blog isn't too boring but there is only so much you can say when you are almost housebound

Yup he's here - morning to you too - I've not much on this week - bit family stuff - like crepes for brekkie yum yum (not that I ate any but they looked good!) - and pottering about - apart from a 1/2 hour talk on thurs (for guru chap) and watering/checking tunnels - not much to do - pick a few things etc

I hope you're well - have you had your oct hols yet?

Why is it that boys (always the boys) need to tell the joke 'I do like a good crepe in the morning' when you make crepes - every time one of them comes out with that comment, without fail - then they both (gamer and Mr F) snigger like wee lads.

I agree the farming sounds interesting too spill the beans red

Blog lovely - think these things are ace as they are folks lives so don't worry about being boring - you're not - yesterday we did our normal plod along the beach at the point bit - now we do this almost once a week - probably boring but as with everything - life is nice and diverse - therefore not boring.

Keep blogging - must do one myself!
