I wasn't sure if I was ever going to catch up today.



We keep all bread products in the fridge.

I have a diffferent spelling which comes up clean, but it did give me an idea to do this:

1. Doozer
Little green people that where helmets and build towers out of radishes.
"Why do you suppose doozers build the buildings doozers build?"

...Which is one of two reasons why I am a Doozer

The other reason is not this, but it made me roar belly laughter...

6. Doozer
n. An impressively large !!!!!!.
Usually one where the subject's legs fall alseep from sitting on the toilet for too long. There must be atleast three courtesy flushes performed before a doozer can be official. Taking a picture with your cell phone of the doozer and sending it to your friends is optional. A doozer should be graded by any who witness it.
"Yo, Booth man, I just dropped a nasty doozer. Come take a whif of this."

Took some photos of our tomatoes just before we plucked them.

Had some in a cream cheese and tomato butty for lunch, they taste very much of tomatoes! Unlike the ones you get in the shops.

We also have some stupendous red and coral pink poppies, this one is the best red. The little lavender hedge to the left marks the edge of our plot. Full of bees this afternoon.

Fine with me ...

I need to measure stuff now and go through the Ikea site to create the list of what I need, what I want, what I want to just look at and stroke

Beautiful garden pics lir and Maggie! Really lovely
I've spent the afternoon hacking stuff again. 3/4 of a wheelie bin (my units of choice).
Will try to remember to take some pics when I'm out again in a bit watering.

Doozer, I rather agree with Spirit. At the end of the day, what you are offering is your kitchen design and implementation abilities. Exactly the way Spirit described it. Since you are not manufacturing the kitchens, you can't have that as a USP. So, the only USP you can offer is you. And, believe it or not, that's exactly what people want, or at least you need to target the people who do want that. And I very much expect there will be enough of them to keep you busy. Don't feel shy!

The short and boring list of cheap things I will possibly buy will put paid to that

OK... photo time.

Here is one of the 2 aubergines. The other one was smaller, but I think it has just about caught up now (note penny included for scale ). Think I'll be harvesting at some point this week (v. excited):


And here are some teeny tiny runner beans (and that penny again) - rubbish photo as my phone was struggling to work out what to focus on, but you get the idea:


And here is (most of) my lavender collection:

This was it a month ago:


I've lost a few, but most seem to be doing ok. Not bad for under £6 if I manage to keep most of them alive.

Spirit, can I please say thank you for your post. I can't begin to tell you how much that has made me chuckle. Poor DH. I am imagining that it washes off to a bronze finish and that he'll look a bit like a grown up Mannequin Pis.

I have read this out to my beloved husband.

He is threatening to disconnect the internet as I have broadcast his 'news'.

DD was out for lunch with a friend so I told her when she got in..she laughed like a drain..and then confirmed she is scarred for life.

He still smells faintly of a chemically woody smell. Like a mechanic/chippy + aftershave.
