Thank beanielou and kk really pleased with the progress I made yesterday.
Mr 🐞 and I got the fruit net over the orchard without falling out🤣. This time we covered the trees and currants over with plastic tarps and the netting slid over instead of getting tangled in the branches.
The youngest boyfriend is over to help them finally celebrate their 21st, movie and food. So I vacated to my room where I listed rainbow fairy and magic ballerina books galore on V as none of the book buying sites wanted them especially as my kids wrote their first names in them. I’ll leave them on for 2 weeks and then they can go to chazzer. Did sell 4 items over the weekend so they are all packaged up and ready to go tomorrow. . Fun pot is back up to £220🥳.
Unable to let miss giddychops into the garden as we have a baby blackbird hopping about. A bit young to be out the nest. But if I pick it up and put it back in we run the risk of the parents abandoning all the young. Hopefully the parents will continue to feed it.
