On the way home from audio appt - we pass a Church which has sayings on a board.
Today it was -
 A tongue weighs little..
but few can hold it.

You were of course talking about chairs - snicker. Sorry to lower the tone but the new forum confused me which is easier to do and some of the nastier trolls used to hang round this thread ages ago.

I now have a nearly three year old grand daughter, her nearly six month old sister and middle dd had a baby girl about nine days ago so it is all go as Thunderbirds used to put it.

This may be a daft idea but if "darling" had lots of pretty clothes and bags etc and kept them all might a vintage boutique or online seller be interested. That way clothes could go to people who love them and maybe raise a bit for charity???

Cleaner has just left so house is looking much better, two loads have been in the dish washer, a load of cardboard boxes are in recycling. have put some stuff in black storage bins for internal garage shelves as by the end of July I want the garage to be usable as an extra room opening into the garden in case we are all to get together as a family and have shelter if weather is bad.

I said the same last year (blush) but this time I am determined.

Have some frozen lamb chops and veg with stock in the pressure king pro hoping it will work for a very late lunch and a main meal tomorrow without having to hover over the pot. 

Wave or hug to all

OOH the thread is revving up!  It's funny how threads go quiet or change character but this one roars back into life every now and then - usually with a wild party

If you want a wild party we need to give burtha a shout. She's been the party person recently.

mothernerd I'm trying to figure out the connection between Hester and raised beds. Mind you we never did find out if she ever got her longed for Pink suede corset.

Can't you try and take it easy for a day or two? You are pushing yourself too hard. Sometimes you need to take a break and do the pacing thing, we're all guilty of pushing on regardless but boy do we pay for it later.

Will do. Have been writing a challenge thread for next month and put my lunch in the oven. Only just put my dress on as we were expecting a visitor (it's a very dirty dress but I keep putting it back on rather than dirty something else - it's also got lots of paint on it and many holes, will be retiring it soon).

You cheeky wotsits! We had raised beds in our garden when we lived on dry land. At least I hope that's what you mean.

I never did get a suede corset, living on a boat the only kinky rubber stuff I own is welly boots!

Beano and I walked 3 miles this morning to collect Steve's prescription, we stopped off at a coffee shop for coffee and cake, well I wanted cake but I was out voted. Beano prefers a bacon bap, so that's what we shared.

Beano is now asleep, Mr Grumpy is sat on the back deck and I'm knitting.

Mr Grumpy's pal is sitting outside in the sun,he should be cooked soon. It's far too hot for me so I'm in here with Beeglie. Reading 24C on the thermometer!!

Tell me, Fencelings All, has the Garden Fence been sanded down since my last visit? Only last time I sat on the Fence, I got splinters in me bum.

boultdj

Not my bit LW, I just double over a towel before sitting.

Hard_Up_Hester

I'll send a patch especially for you Lame Wolf, we can't have you getting splinters in your peachy bum.

Hard_Up_Hester

Or even sand!!

LameWolf

Much appreciated, Hester. My towel is soaking wet and muddy, having been used to dry off a Springer Spaniel, so I can't use it as padding for fence-sitting, not unless I want a soggy, muddy bum, which is nearly as bad as splinters.
