Poo weather today...really do hope we get better weather ( after the weekend lol LIR)
Outer in work as gone kaput AGAIN after only having it back a few days from being fixed, so hubby took it back.. So if they can fix the problem I am going to see if they can retrieve a few documents/ files and put them onto a stick thing for me, so at least I got them ( business logos/ artwork etc)
Little puggles are doing well, and are sooooooo cheeky and funny... Always brings a smile to my face, regardless of what she!te is going on...
We have mice in the big caravan up the ranch, and its like they got flipping big boots on in the night.. Really noisy so more traps are going down,, it will be like a scene out of the film with Lee Evans called mousetrap lolWork to live= not live to work0 -
hi all...
ooops! fantastic weather here
plasterer turned up to finish the shower room this morning... 7.30am ! all done now and will decorate at the weekend.
ive come up with a plan for my lounge.. infact I spent all day at work thinking about colours etc and I THINK ive cracked it...:D
its a very big room [well to me it is] and I have to get it right...
ive just been trying to dig a hole in the garden. I broke the handle of the fork :eek: just will not break through the earth its so dry...
gardeners at friends were clearing some overgrown vegetation from her middle pond.. its shallow,quite big and for frogs,newts etc. so I spent too long hunting for baby newts and froglets in the debri and putting them in the groups of lillies... they should be having a rave tonight there was so many of them..;)0 -
What a nutter...
If he's boozing, failing to appear on jobs and threatening peeps in a highland community then word will get about PDQ for sure.
Picked up a Marimo Moss Ball for the aquarium, it is indeed a fuzzy ball but actually of a sort of algae. Also two red spotted snails, although one seems ominously inactive.
Getting a quote for a new gate, so while at the smiddy I asked if he'd any 5mm rod to bend into plant supports. £2 for 3m, so much cheaper than the hoops in the shops.
Pleased to see my Agapanthus 'Northern Star' is in bud, it was left planted out over winter and mulched but I wasn't sure it would come back, 'Northern Star' is supposedly the most robust cultivar.
Am adding hollyhock the my list of plants not to bother with in Scotland

He's on a suicide mission.
Nice Moss Ball IHS, but I rather liked the grinder - seemed a touch more pro-active!
Just realised that the eucalyptus like the oak is just putting on leaves - it's July. I thought it was dying as it looked well ill. It's got two trunks, so I've been out & hacked off the smaller one & am taking out some birches that are crowding it. It's not actually raining at the mo - how weird!0 -
I passed a super pink one on the central reservation of the A303 yesterday.I_have_spoken wrote: »

A bit like my car, you don't see the rust at 70mph!
It's been a fine day here in more ways than one. The electrician cancelled another job and finished the first fix in the kitchen, arranging to come back next week to finish off most of the other work. Amazing!:)
Meanwhile, I worked out that our old integrated oven could work fine just sitting on the slabs in the conservatory, so I wired it into a 3 pin plug. It's only a grill &/or top oven, so no problem there and we can Carry on Cooking.
The builder has given us a portable gas stove to make up for the lack of a hob.
Then Mr Rod called in, ordered his materials for Thursday, and lo, the builders' yard did respond with a promise of delivery inside 24 hours.That's respect! :cool:
OK. Plumber didn't show, so we chased-in his bloomin' pipes ourselves, but 2 out of 3 isn't bad! :rotfl:0 -
Oh, and the lads from the place up the road that teaches lifeskills to vulnerable youngsters came back with their guv'nor and they cleared all our remaining unwanted rubble! :j
I got chatting, and it seems a couple of them want to use/improve bricklaying skills they have, so I'm working on a plan for them to build the upstand for our new oil tank....:D
Just need a spare digger/operative now. My BiL is on honeymoon here soon!:rotfl:
Your guy sounds crazy, choille. Be careful. 0 -
You are getting stuff together Dave. When the lads have finished doing your brickwork send em up here & I'll teach em some new skills too - don't mean that to sound saucy.
The ex-plumber is scary, unprediictable , but he lives a good distance away & has a throat like a sink - he's not long got his license back so I don't think he'll be here. But we have sorted out a lock on the house door - can't be too careful & after the tup boys were let out the other day.
I think there are a lot of folks going a bit/lot crazy these days.0 -
Afternoon all,
Think everyone is busy , quiet on here,
Well I forgot to say I had a LOAD of cheap hydranga and rosemery plants large one which worked out very cheap lol..worked out at 62 p each.. And considering the 14 hydranga were supposed to have been £12 each, and the other plants just under £3 each I had a total bargain....some I will sell off, and some I will plant up as mother plants...so getting there very slowly lolWork to live= not live to work0 -
