Pippilongstocking

Morning all

Hey up you lot have been very chatty. So where did yesterday go? A blur of gardening (at work unpaid - prep for teaching) and a board meeting.

Home by 10pm - not cool but thats life sometimes isn't it?

Today hmm, womble land then gardening teaching later a looooooooooooooong day. But I've only two more classes to go. If everything would warm up here I'd be mighty pleased!

Starnac - have a gentle hug! Poor you

KC - I don't think I've got any music on my phone or my ipad. (!) Grr to coughing poor you! Cleaning though - highly dangerous persuit!

Keiss had a look here not gloves to be seen - I hope you find it . You sound very busy at the moment. Remember to breathe! Goodluck today.

VL how very true - of course they are!

Gallygirl - that's exactly true isn't it! I'll tell them.

LT happily identify the 'collective' - you do get purple sycamores by the way...........quite lovely and probably what you've got!

Greying I'll definitely look out for you and that wave! Go you for putting music on your phone - I'm clueless. Hoping you enjoy your coastal fun! Enjoy the beach!

Today - OK managed to check banks and avoid an 'over' the overdraft charge as the phone bill was higher than expected (I blame the french) - must drum into kids - use skype use skype.

Hey ho - the joys of a mutlinational modern broken home.

SO bank charges are averted. Not much in there as put £300 to one cc and I've also to pay the chap covering work for me this weekend which is a pain but I need a break. (The joys of self employment)

Today is womble/teaching day. Need be organised and take lunch as I'm out for most of the day til 9pm.

A couple things to post at the post office - one for me, one for work.

And, I must put a wash on or I'll be naked in foriegn lands and thats not really the way forward is it?

Haggis is getting enormous (well its all relative), Peedie seems to be adjusting and playing with him lots and I seem to have lost a chicken.

In my defence they are free range and she's often a bit of a wanderer.

Best case scenario is she's off on a nest somewhere - its that time of year as I've caught two others of them hunkering down on eggs in forgien places only to be very squaky when removed from said nests.

I've hunted high and low for her so we'll see what the deal is I'll keep looking but hopefully she's just on a secret nest somewhere. As they normally roost together and hang out together (albeit in a large field by the house) I'm sure she's on a nest.

*hope so*

Right better get off and get some work done!

Have a good un

Starnac I hope you feel better soon, hugs and squiggles to the rest of you.

Whilst we may not be rich in money. We are blessed with abundant dust, to do lists and friendship.

Karmacat

Definitely to all three of the blessings!

I really hope the chicken's just nesting ... the alternatives aren't terribly pleasant nor is nakedness in foreign lands

Back soon!

Popping by with a very quick hello. On work laptop so can't chat for long.

Please do some washing - although rumour has it that they do possess washing machines south of the border.

Hi Pippi, well done for averting over the overdraft disaster.
hope you find the chicken soon , have you check around the house or in a car cos i think i remember that they like to visit those places.
Thanks for the picky of the sycamore, it's a lot more green than the one we have, i'll take a photo tonight and post it.
the things i have recognised are: conifers (yuck), budlia (sp? & attacked by OH), grape hyacinth, bluebells, white heather, dandilions, camelia, and i think we have a hydrangia and a peony but i'm not so sure on them. Other than that there's a lot of other non identified stuff. I really think we could do with your help, hint hint, beg beg.

heres the tree piccies hope they work and aren't too huge.

Lemon_Tree

oops sorry they're a bit big

Pippi - have a great weekend, don't do anything that the 'Stripey Gang' wouldn't - leaves you plenty of scope!

Hope everyone else is doing well. I've one of Pippi's 'to-do' lists (mine's all covered in dust too!) as long as your arm, so I'm signing off (prematurely) on my leave of absence....

Take care all,

Greying
