The Garden Fence - proper Old Style support and chat!

Hard_Up_Hester

We are resting today, I'm on strike and I'm recovering from being burnt, bitten and stung and doing 6 locks in 5 hours, not many you may think but it's hot and I'm old! Wouldn't it be nice if I was hot and the weather was old.
CHS did treat me to a lovely pair of silver earrings, Tree of Life with semiprecious stones. The Fairy boat was moored near us & I like to support boat traders.

Resting? I should jolly well think so too! The earrings sound lovely.

Glad to see you've got your removals sorted now Lyn. I would have got back to you sooner I've only just got back from a work trip and am trying to get ready for holiday... totally exhausted and am either unpacking, packing or trying to get the house/garden/paperwork ready for being away. We should have left yesterday but realistically it may well be tomorrow before we set off.

Aw greenbee ((HUGS)) I've been in the situation of being too tired to go on holiday, and it's not fun at all. (We did go on that occasion, as I simply couldn't get OH to take me seriously, but we ended up coming home early.)

Thank you GREENBEE we were in a bit of a downspin on Friday afternoon and whilst not exactly panicking were definitely 'edgy' but Saturday was a much more level day and we were able to sort things at 9 because one of the local removal firms surprisingly is open on Saturdays! rare as hens teeth but we're grateful the are!

Take a deep breath and stop travelling and then enjoy that holiday, you've earned it! xxx.

Just written a long post to get us back where we belong, on the front page.
Blummin Dragon swallowed it.
Let's try again.

HALLELUJAH.

Enjoy your holiday Greenbee.


Hope you manage a better post monna.


What happened to everyone else.

Softstuff

Well, Nursemaggie, as for my whereabouts I stripped the furniture (cursing as predicted), prepped the weeks food, made a couple of kilos of pulled pork, did laundry, baked a cake, had a gym visit, made dinner and had the MIL round and went to see the latest mission impossible. I feel I did not waste my day. My body now aches somewhat and my hands look like a builders, but hey ho.

Have a lovely holiday Greenbee, I hope you enjoy it.

The earrings sound lovely Hester.

Humphrey will be safe here, I'm crocheting another kale suit for him as we speak.

I like that thought for the day Monna, I might have to frame it.

Softstuff I can only imagine how long it takes to crochet kale suits for elephants and camels

Hester, I'm sending you a cool drink and an image of a footrest and palm leaf fan. I hope you're still resting! The earrings sound lovely.

Greenbee, I know that feeling of exhaustion. Safe travels when you do manage to leave.

Mrs LW, reading plans for your new house and allotment really excite me.

Softstuff that sounds like a very full and excellent day! I know the furniture will be worth it when it is finished.

I think today will consist of a run, maybe some blackberrying, maybe a walk into town to mooch around the charity shops and maybe some sewing. Yoga tonight so I think it will be a quick-ish tea of salmon and stir fry.

Hugs to all who need them.x
