    :rotfl:If they were Dylan's size, I might even get away with it!:D
    Walkies successfully achieved; I spent a fair amount of time untangling their leads, but they were good and didn't play up too much.:o They're worn out now - they both had a bit of food when we got back (they have dry food, which is down all the time for them to "graze") and hopefully they'll have a snooze now, so that I can deal with my emails in peace.:D I could use another coffee, but the pot's empty - Mr LW makes a pot of filter coffee in the morning and leaves it on for me to have throughout the day, and I've finished today's pot already.:eek:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

  • Afternoon Miss! Sneaking in late with a "Tardy Slip"

    Skint Pitz had a bit of a clean up at the weekend, I found my steam mop, someone had stuffed in the basket I keep all the winter woolly hats and gloves in

    EX came yesterday instead of the weekend so he could have his "bird-day" celebrations with DD3, DS and DD4 down the pier (I was tagging along as bag lady and required for Daisy Mode for DD4 in any event)

    EX's proper bird day today when he is doing goodness knows what.....then Friday is the kids "present" at Greek restaurant complete with greek dancing, table dancing, plate smashing and disco til 2am (thank goodness for my credit card) I am playing bag lady and DES (as in DESignated driver) as EX, DD1 and DD2 will no doubt be knocking back cocktails like there is no tomorrow. Someone also has to keep an eye on DS who will no doubt decide to get sleepy before it all comes to an end.

    Going to try and do some more gardening (aka weeding with a chain saw) in a bit while it is bright and not too hot

    Might suggest a camp out in the garden for DS tonight in an effort to whack him out a bit as no nursery now until September, and he will be bouncing off the walls soon!

    Piggers what a beauty, and such a lovely name......I must confess with that dark hair she looks like one of mine, so broodiness has gone into overdrive here! Maybe I should get on with some flying until the feeling passes!

    Right enough talking.....better get started before Daisy Mode has to start again
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Honey Bear. Co-Op are reducing by 50% their summer bbq and picnic range including melamine picnic ware from tomorrow. And if you know anyone who works for them, its double discount on Saturday which means you can get another 20% off (if they purchase it for you with their card).

    Yesterday and today's lists now done. Go me.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Blackberries - picked, first lot being frozen. Last wash of the day on the line. Insurance sorted. Car back from service. Petrol purchased - doing well

    Feeding time for mogs and boys next

    Do you have to do anything with the blackberries other than wash them before you freeze them?

    Never wash a berry made up of little bits, blackberries, raspberries etc they will be tasteless. Open freeze on a baking sheet and then bag up. Only ever pick from above knee height.
