Daydream thread continues.....

Since the goose saga i have been bringing the boys into the back garden. This is the dogs place, and the dogs are scared of the geese, so i have been taking he dogs out the front to widdle. Just now i took the dogs out, leaving the door into the room they sleep in open, and we nipped put the front.


On the way back we could not see the geese near the house and the relievend dogs bolted for the door, then came flying out agin, persued by Egg. Aristwaddle had settled down in the dogs duvet! Poor dog dog was shaking with terror but i could not stop laughing.

do you have one of those days where all the clues are there at the start to tell you its going to be one gigantic c*ck up.....:D

i overslept,
i fell into the biggest, sloppiest pile of mud imaginable whilst trying to coax 3 equally dense sheep that it was "safe" to cross.....:(
i dropped a tray of eggs [destined for the gooses in lounge household ] dont panic...have more
then went to pick up a trailer load of wood from a sawn up fallen tree at a friends house only for one BIG branch to bounce out of trailer on way back [luckily on a back road]:o
then find ive lost/misplaced my debit card and cant for the life of me remember where/when i used it last :mad:
and to rub salt in the wound ...no boiler ,actually had the man out to service it last month ...1st time in 7 years ... he came yesterday cos it wouldnt fire up and when he got here it bl**dy well worked.. NOW its gone again !!:mad: hes coming again tomorow. he didnt charge me anything yesterday [cuppa and a slice of cakey ] moral of the story..leave well alone if it aint broke.....

so folks ...how was your day...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

We haven't got a boiler to pack up, just the gravity-fed Aga, which is still on. We turned it off on April Fool's Day last year. Once it goes off, that's it, until 'the man' comes back to clean and re-light it in November.

In the evenings we're backing up with a few hours from the woodburner too.:o

Don't seem to have got much done today, but maybe that's because most of the the morning was lost to strange activities, like hoovering....

Still, we've got peas and onions in, and the first flowers open on the fast tomatoes. Peppers are a bit of a disaster though, thanks to my home-made aphid spray, which worked last year, but obviously didn't store well.

love those pics CTC..i hope you will hang them up cos i think they will be the guardians of your house....:A

LIR... laughed like mad at your goose antics..i used to have an indian runner duck that loved the dog bed and thier water bowl ,prefering it to her own :rotfl::rotfl:

that greenhouse is fab ! an old boy near here had a tunnel with an old woodstove with a back boiler/pipework to heat it and his plants were the best in the forest...he's retired now thoughtless ! just cos he's 85......:D

We didn't turn ours off at all last summer nor the year before, I think.If the weather goes on like this it will be staying on this year too.

Having accidentally ran out of oil recently, we had fun re-lighting it but, luckily, can clean & do that so only have 'the man' to do a service.
Having no oil meant no CH either so the house lost it's temperature pretty quickly brrrrrr but it's back up now. It takes some time to get the thick walls warm again so, hopefully, the cold snap this weekend will be a lot more comfy than the last one :cool::D

I think the red deer must be coming right round to the back of the house to drink from our small pond as something is moving a very large clump of reeds (planted in a huge basket) around. Either that or the Beast is back
