Good morning Ruby. I am going over the road to see Jack for a cuppa at 11:00. He is very excited as he is having his second cataract operation tomorrow. I am going to catch up on his gossip and find out if his daughter was pleased with her Bette Midler CD.
I will just do a little bit of the drive at a time - weather permitting. Wrangling the mare's tail is as good for me as going to a gym - and its cheaper! It does tend to exhaust my list of expletives though!
Handy brother spoke with me last night. His neighbour had come around and was very upset. She had rescued a pigeon that had flown into her window and was then being attacked by magpies. She had put it in a box and when handy brother saw it the poor thing had lost an eye and couldn't walk but was calm enough. Poor thing was probably shocked. Anyway, she is going to phone her vet this morning. I suspect it will be kindly euthanased. Its just nature he told her.

Oops missed your last post too @Ladybird4 Have a lovely catch up with Jack. Hope he is feeling much better now. Hope all goes well with his cataract op tomorrow. I'm sure his daughter was very touched and pleased by her gift.
Good Morning SGL, LB, Rubee and all to follow, SGL Sounds like a fun day yesterday celebrating poppets birthday, glad you slept well, LB I’m sorry to hear you had such an awful night, take it easy today and see how you feel later before tackling the mares tail. The cuttings sound promising 🤞 Rubee Hope you have a good day, Hazel The gardening sleeves sound a good idea to protect your arms, hope the family all landed safely and are back home, Hoor all goes well at the cottage today Ante, take care of yourself in the heat, Off round to mums this morning with a dinner, have a good day everyone see you later 👋
Good morning LB, Rubee, SGL, Chive and all to follow.
LB, have a nice time with Jack. Hope his operation tomorrow goes well. Wish him luck and quick recovery. Sorry to hear about poor sleep last night.
SGL, you should probably become a detective. 😉
Chive, have a lovely time with your Mum. I'm reconsidering my trip to cottage. It's already quite hot, and I should stay inside.
It's again unusually hot morning. I slept last night, but it wasn't quality sleep, so I fell tired. As I said, I'll probably stay at home and avoid sun and heat.
@Chivetalking have a lovely day with your mum. She will love having the meal you made her......always nice to have a meal cooked for you 😉😋
Haha @Ante1 my OH says that too 😉 Have a lovely relaxing day with a good book. You can go to the cottage tomorrow, when hopefully it is cooler weather for you.
I'm sorry you had such a bad night LB. I hope Jack's cataract operation goes well. Sad about the pigeon.
Thank you all about my garden.
Forget to mention yesterday that yesterday I found a pretty little dwarf rabbit in my open sided barn. I'd been wondering what had eaten my strawberry plants, including the leaves. It belonged to next door's children, had escaped a couple of weeks ago. They came and caught it. Next door isn't very close on either side. Young family the other side of the donkey paddock and Annie across the hay field and the little river.
I hope to weed the round rose bed today but thunder storms are forecast.

Morning Hazel. Sorry to hear that you two also had a bad night. Try to rest today. First I needed to check what V and round neck are 🤣🤣. She is with round neck.
Chive, I was hearing interesting things on the news this morning about school meals and thought of you. Have you noticed any changes on what is being prepared for the little people? Have a nice natter with your Mum. Hope she is still nice and comfortable.
Ante, I think you are very wise to stay at home today. It is not good working in excessive heat.
Busy, that is a nice, happy ending to the story of the little bunny and I bet that there are some really happy little people now they have got their rabbit back.
Hazel, your misunderstanding made me laugh. I really, really, really don't need any more mares tail.
