    Great to see you posting again. Hope last shift went ok and you are done, done, done with that job. Well done on getting the new one too, hope you enjoy it and they treat you well!


    Mr A makes a beeline for me when he comes in wet too; as he's so long haired his coat acts a bit like a sponge and he seems to quite like sitting out in the rain :eek:

    Last evening shift over and done with yesterday. Dead boring too, only three customers, finished my book....

    This evening I have sat out on a neighbour's patio sharing a bottle of wine whilst Colin and her cat also spent a pleasant evening hissing at each other. I still don't have a patio so have to go a-visiting.

    I just been over to kiss the equine boys good night and am just about to wend my way to bed. Sweet dreams to all of you

    Good luck with the new job. You have been through so many changes and life events in the past 2 years, and done so well. Congratulations and the very best of luck.

    Just calling by and hoping that you and the boys are OK (not pressurising you to "be here" if it is not right for you atm).

    I have taken the cheap and cheerful option and filled my Bee pot with Marigolds bought from a garden stall just along the road from me. The owners live in a terraced house with very long rear gardens, and they have bought land at the rear which slopes up to the railway. They call it The Secret Garden and open every year for "The Yellow Book Scheme", next Saturday is open day so hoping for lots of inspiration as it is so wonderful:D

    :wave: Piq and Piquettes

    Hope that everything is going swimmingly with your new job and that you're enjoy lots of cuddles with the boys.

    I have to admit that when you mentioned the boys sorting out a patch for you to put the table and chairs on I pictured your horsey boys stamping the ground flat for you :rotfl:.

    In other news I've had my 20 week scan today and am very pleased to announce that I am expecting a baby girl. We would have been happy either way but I just had a feeling that it was a girl :D. I will happily share a picture too but didn't want to take over lol.
