Happy birthday for yesterday Mr Firefly 🍨
Dad doesn't mind cutting with the hedge trimmer, it is the clearing up afterwards that he hates.
I'll need to strap the camera onto Dad again and get him to film me doing my stuff but the last few times he had the camera on I did nothing special.
We had a nice walk to a different area today so lots to sniff at but no mice to chase, maybe later if we go to the park.

Lovely orange sunrise today, probably means that rain is on the way but still lovely.
Great day all round so far, chased rabbits, found a football and a tennis ball, chased and barked at 2 bin lorries and walked over 3 miles already with a trip to the shop still to come, got to love Wednesday
Hope you are all keeping well.

Morning, you have been busy this morning Duncan. Charlie always barks at the binmen and we have 2 different ones on the same day.It is a lovely start to the day here and I have just put my washing out. I have a few days off now and I heard the weather is going to be wet tomorrow so thought i had better get it done today. Happy belated to your DH ff, glad to hear he cheered up. I had to get a new hedge trimmer in the summer leanfun as the battery on mine wouldn't charge properly.
I am off out later as DS needs a new watch for work and to pick up a small model his hobby shop ordered for him.
Hope you all have a good day

Morning we mega overslept here today. Hope you have a good break Indie. I think I will have to buy a new hedge trimmer too. Duncan’s Dad I’m no good at bending down so I have a heavy duty plastic sheet hat came with something. It’s about five or feet by three feet maybe a bit longer, I put it partially under the hedge and straighten it out so everything falls on it. If not much pull it along to next place when enough on it I fold it up and into the bin go the droppings. I usually don’t have much to sweep up.
Duncan agree with Firefly great that you and Dad are keeping up the walking. We must walk more. The arnica has cleared DH’s horrendous bruise he needs to move more. we will be able to go to our nearest parks now schools are back.Our nearest GS has gone back to school today. Other two start next week.
Hope everyone has a good day.2 -
Dad uses the plastic sheet method as well but still seems to spend longer cleaning up than he does cutting.
Quiet day today, a visit to Poundstretcher for sugar at 59p was the high point of the morning and 10 minutes watching football at the park was the best bit of the evening.
At least we missed the showers, we seemed to be at home every time one hit.

Morning awake early here today. Duncan’s Dad pleased time hear you use that method too. Yesterday I managed to make your Mum’s apple scone round. We really enjoyed it. I had some small eating apples and DH and wr both thought I should have put a bit more apple in. Having never seen a round before I was a bit apprehensive but it was so easy to make and I’ve frozen some of it. So big thank you, especially as it is low on fat and sugar and really quick and easy. I’ve printed the recipe and put it near the flour for future use.
Yesterday I set too to delete the never ending emails thinking it’s ages since i had a win from web comps and then I found a WEM. I’ve won £200 from a Bella magazine entry. So hope this might be one of a few wins in the Inn. Good luck all.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.2 -
Well done on the win leanfun,lovely surprise. Hope the weather stays nice so you can get out for your walks
Same for you Duncan, you may get lucky again and miss all the showers.
I am taking back some plants to DS's GF nan later today, she went away for 3 weeks and asked us to water them and it was easier to bring them here.Also dropping DS off at work again, they are not busy and he says he has to clean the area every 15 minutes where he is working. I think it will be a long time before they get really busy again but that is like most places.
Hope you all have a good day

Good that you liked the scone leanfun, as with all recipes, you need to tinker with them to suit your own taste. Great that you found the wining email rather than deleting it.
I was stung by a wasp this evening, Dad managed to get the beast untangled from my fur but the damage was done and it has left me unsettled since. Dad has been trying to soothe me and bathe or brush the area where the sting was but I wont sit still for him, I wish he would just go to bed and leave me alone.
G'night all1 -

your dad is just trying to help you like we all would do, know you don't like a big fuss but thinking of you & hope you're settled & ok now x
