Daydream fund challenge part 4

COOLTRIKERCHICK

morning all,


choille fab picture. yep we don't know we are born, re- the weather compared to people up north,


might dig out the odd picture of our party days...and pop it on here.. for a little while


I look back now, and its surprising how much I have calmed down.. even when the thread started, I was a bit of a party girl, lol.. now I hate going out for a drink, in fact, I don't even go up the biker clubhouse, and I could walk in still my piggy boots and clothes on, and it wouldn't matter ..lol


how times have changed...


bet you are glad to have mrs D back...


after discussing what I wanted re- the fencing of our land going up the lane... all day I asked hubby for some pics of work in progress for the photo album of before and after lol.. and he didn't listen and its wrong... wanted a tall fence at the front.... even though there is going to be a gap before the actual pig pens, so eventually it would over grow, and stop people seeing our pigs etc, but nope.. normal size fencing poles have been put in.... not happy... but its done now...and as its hubby's fault, cant afford to pay another days worth of wages for them to take it all out and put diff posts/fencing there..


right a cuppa time me thinks..

COOLTRIKERCHICK

Destitution Road is a great name, choille,:) but that picture really highlights the climatic differences between the two ends of the country. Here, even the tops on Dartmoor haven't looked noticeably white yet.

I got a couple of lessons in local climatic differences at the weekend. Spent most of the weekend in wellies or on studs.

Went to see a friend when it was snowing; the ground was covered but slushy in the morning at home. Ten miles away on a north facing slope; wonderful views across the valley to the snowtopped dales in the north. It is snowing at the house but thawing in the town half a mile away.

It froze overnight; first thing on Sunday I heard footsteps...whaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr........ and the sound of crashing crockery. I think the people moving lower down had taken mugs out to the movers? It thawed by lunch-time and I set off to pick up rootstocks a few miles north. Absolutely freezing (literally) on slightly higher ground so I needed the studs again; they reckon we are 3 weeks earlier at home.

Great photo CTC.

I've put on loads of weight since I stopped smoking. I used to be dead skinny, but it's needed in this weather.

Seems to be a bit of a thaw on.

That's my excuse too, though I stopped in 1984:rotfl:

Offline all day due to re-wiring, which would be a bit traumatic if we weren't a bit rough and ready already. Imagine two men with angle grinders and demo-hammers channelling-out the walls in your living room. :eek::eek::eek::eek:

We aren't having dinner tonight; we're on the inhaled cement diet for a couple of days. :rotfl:

Not the best pic, however prepared hyacinths and orchids have come into flower, which is welcome at this time of year -



No idea how I've coaxed the orchids to flower!

hi all........ what an amazing pic choille !!!! you could be at some remote geological station in the arctic !! and theres me saying how cold it was here this morning with a half inch of ice on the hoss's troughs ................ i have an oddity.. well i found it :cool: LIR might know. its too gruesome to put a pic on here...... if you can imagine the whole sole of a hoof ie. the frog and sides withlike a plate of cartalidge underneath. i immediately rounded up all the hoss's and checked thier feet. nothing amiss ...if it was from a horse then the pedall bone would drop and hoss would be in agony/lame/dead :eek: so im flumoxed as to where its come from. it was laying in the middle of the field. it is quite pointed ? its too big for a sheep, too big for the minis [well a tad too big but as i dont know the "underneath" anatomy of a hoof i couldnt say.] perhaps if i take some pics i can PM them to you, LIR ??

IHS....... orchids should flower all year round if they like where they are .some people have a habit of cutting down the stems when flowers die.... nope. leave them and they branch out to new...

Lovely flowers IHS.

Hope you are all keeping warm. I had the chicken which is moulting in a cat carrier in the utility on a heat pad today. She was looking miserable as it didn't get above freezing all day. When we put her out again she had perked up massively, no doubt helped by the tonic she I gave her and grapes and sweetcorn.

Mr BD went off to B&Q and Homebase to get some paint for the decorator. Using some of that Light and Space paint you recommended Dave in the north facing bedrooms. Enormous difference in price for 10L of paint to go on the ceilings between the two stores. £66 at Homebase and £17 at B&Q.

Mr BD also had a check up at the dentist. Dentist took an x-ray, told him he had an abscess under one tooth and had lost a filling in the next one. So he needed a tooth extracted and a filling. Then he said the next patient has cancelled I can do it now :eek::eek::eek: So Mr BD came home minus a tooth and plus a filling. He hasn't complained about the pain and seems to be happy to go off to Panto rehearsals this evening so I think he got off lightly.:cool::cool::cool:
