Breaking Through, Travelling On

We rescued a deckchair from a skip a couple of years ago - had to reinforce the base but then I painted it cream and put new fabric on and it was ace :j

Enjoy sitting outside kc! :j

Absolutely! Loving the deckchair stories

Erm, the sun's gone in down here ... still warm out tho :j

I used to have a huge "armchair", made of big chunky bamboo with a swag of fabric that was the armchair bit. Too big, and it made its way outside, onto the patio, where my cats found out they could sit at a bit of an elevation if they jumped on the armchair. Till the day my overweight moggy Jesse :happylove jumped on and the fabric tore when she was very, very surprised :exclamati poor moggy!

Finding a deckchair in a skip! Blimey that's good! The old ones make a lot on ebay.

Won't be selling mine however valuable it is or however hard up I am:). Mine's in pretty decent condition, just a bit grubby from being submerged in various sheds for years. I'm so glad I rediscovered it although the hoped-for session lazing in the garden in it has had to be put on hold as the sun has disappeared and there's a skittish wind now:mad:

Poor Jesse, KC. I've noticed with my cat that if he does anything that makes him look silly he seems genuinely embarrassed. I know that sounds fanciful, a cat looking embarrassed, but I'm convinced of it. I don't attribute human characteristics to him except for that:rotfl:.

I'm sure you're right, CBC, they know when their equilibrium has been ruffled - cats definitely feel that!

I don't have any deckchairs, I have two decent modern aluminium garden chairs (currently with the seats covered in algae, yuck) but its not warm enough to sit out there now, grrr. I just need to crash right now

Hope your resting well

I managed to acquire a couple of those solid wooden chairs that whilst dont stretch out do give a comfortable seat ( with cushions on) in the sun, Oh pulled them out of the garage the other day and we sat out for a wee hour or two... first sunburn of the year acquired:o:(

Karmacat

You got sunburn up there, and I'm huddling inside, all the way down here :rotfl: its not fair! I hope there wasn't too much "burn" on that, seriously El - I've never actually sunbathed as an adult, its not a good idea with my skin.

I've been genealogising one of those classic London working class families, where each parent came from opposite ends of the country, and once they were married they had a child every year. Stopping now tho

I tend not to sunbathe myself as I do burn very easily, this was a case of sitting out in the sunshine reading my book ... I get sun burned in winter though so ...

Our deckchair did look pretty sorry for itself when we rescued it CBC, I can see why someone chucked it, but with an extra bit of wood, a few screws, a lick of paint and some new fabric (so, basically, rebuilding it from scratch :rotfl: ) it was fine

It's lovely that we're gradually starting to get ourselves outside.

We've been doing work in the garden, and it's looking a lot tidier now. The weather today was a little disappointing, but yesterday we did manage a cup of coffee while sitting on the garden bench.

Spring is good:j
