    OOOOOOOh visitors how lovely.

    Cheery what a lovely list of grub you've got there and sausage plait sounds just the thing. :D Postage stamp gardening clearly suits you.

    Waves to M21 backs been OK touch wood, but I'm mindful when I'm stretching too incase it goes boing again.

    Thank you to the cheflet for the 'hanniversary wishes. We spent it by me gadding around gardens and himself tinkering with his big shiny red car.

    :D

    Beanie - never a dull moment eh? I told myself that as I cuddled a chook last night needing to go into isolation. I'm not sure what's up but the others are all bullying her. I wonder if she's sick, chickens sense that kind of stuff. Will do a bit of research today. Aside a bare ar%e and being incredibly thin, she appears bright as a button. Its a worry.

    Haggis was going to get such a row last night for barking ferociously at birds. Turns out he was trying to alert me to giant killer slugs climbing up the wall by me cabbages.

    Extra bonio for him.

    Morning lands.

    Bit of a worky day today, paperwork and paid work.
    Bit of organising of the week ahead
    Bit of a beach (did'n't do ANY over the weekend, tsk, tsk)
    Bit of tidying

    First of all - bit of coffee :)

    Morning world lets hope todays the start of a great week!

    Erm, nope I haven't - off to google that one.

    She's perky but being horribly bullied. (They've been holding her down by the neck :mad:)

    I picked a few of them up they're still painfully thin. Now I know layers don't really get 'fat' but their breastbones are razor sharp.

    Morning L hows Mr L's back?

    Right

    In the slippery slope of the end of the month now I guess so I need to update the food spends and concentrate on using up what we've got.

    Meal plan later I think.

    This week is a week free of extras and interlopers (so far)
    All bodies are also here
    Lunches to be made
    Snacks to be scoffed.

    I'd like to think given the fresh food moutain which appears to be in the fridge, we'll not need any shopping.

    Topped up on lots of reduced bread at the local coup last night.

    All good.

    We had a chicken based special fried rice for tea with leftover roast and some nice veg.

    Must forage through the fridges/freezer and see what delights we can come up with.

    Eggs may feature :D

    Grey here - and the racket outside at 7.45 seems to indicate that the bins are empty so I can bag up more of that laburnum and get shot.

    No rest for the wicked. I'll do some 'paid' work after I've toiled with several thousand wee toxic seeds and leaves.

    Monday after all, no rest for the wicked!

    Oh and I bought a book about cleaning at a charity shop.

    Don't judge me, this hoose is nice and I've nae clue how to keep it nice without a wee wumman what does.

    So I need to learn to be a 'wee wumman what does hersel'

    Honestly I'm useless.

    Half hours 'de-laburnuming' done - off to find the second cuppa of the day and start some brekkie.

    Working at 10am today so a few things to do beforehand.

    :)

    Puts kettle on.

    One home made chicken outdoor hospital/recovery area made.

    Quite chuffed with my trellis and bits of string empire.

    Wee lady seems happy.
