Weather as predicted here, pouring! Tried to turn the compost heap this morning.

Punk Doc and all others with lovely cars I have happy memories of the wind in my hair. Sadly had to get sensible 4x4 as we could get 32 fence posts, cement mixer, rotavator cutting deck etc in!
on the nailvarnish thread, i am always the one with dirty hands at weddings or posh dos, just as well. It out tonight?
Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
Hi all, It seems noones been on for a while, so I suppose Ill be talking to myself. Bekkie I think it was you who mentioned a bargain thread. Yes there is one but I cant remember what its called. Ill try and find it in a mo and bump it for you.
Just recovering from babysitting last night. SILaw didnt arrive home until 1.40 and hadnt got a key. I couldnt go to bed and leave door unlocked so I stayed up until he returned. Consequently I only managed about 4 hours kip last night. Came home and went to bed for a couple of hours and feeling much better now. I moved the well cover yesterday (made of iron and v. heavy) so Im a bit achy today. Its now under the bird feeder so that the seed doesnt take root. Ive done some deadheading and tidying. Its been very dark here for the past few days but I dont think we have had much rain so Im going to water tonight to make sure all the plants I moved are OK.
Im a bit like Verdun, a lot of the plants I see at GC they are selling off dont seem that much cheaper and they never seem to have the ones I want, so I tend to get them on line. Ive just ordered a few white plants that like shade, some of which also like dry situations, as Ive a few spaces that need lifting. Ive never used the company before plantsforshade.co.uk (I think thats the name) so Im hoping they are OK.
Still thinking of going to Stevenshill Garden tomorrow, I think it was Fidget that was going with OH. Cathch up with everyone tonight if you are around.
Hi all just home from being the hedge cutter's labourer if there is such a role Curries to cook and a gargle might be needed Well it is Saturday.
G Pigs now back in the care of their owners ..phew !! Scared to death they'll get cold in this weather or worse die on my watch ...is it really mid August ? Had my fleece on today
Might go and do some dead heading while curries cook or might just do nothing tomorrow is supposed to be cloud and sun, not just cloud !
Glad you are up Panda Seriously the salt miners do deserve a lie in at weekends. I just couldn't face going back even if they trebled my salary.
Yvie, I sometimes can't keep up with all the posts on here, but know about your Mum and hope your last visit was okay. My dad also had dementia and was in LTC and it very hard so whilst it's just us two here have a big hug from me xx
Thanks KEF, mum is in a home but has mobility issues amongst a lot of other things. However dementia isnt one of them. I know there is someone on here who is dealing with parents having this awful disease but like you I cant always keep up with the posts as there are so many. I do read them but just cant remember who does what and when. I did have a friend who had to deal with this issue and I know how difficult it is. Its strange but once his nan got to the point when she really didnt know anyone it was much better for her but more difficult for the family. I remember she used to tell us all these tales of what she got up to in the war. She had a soft spot for American Airmen apparently. I always remembered her as a very proper old lady so it was quite a shock but sometimes despite the difficult situation she would have us in stitches with her stories of love and intrigue.

Afternoon
Have been up for hours - honest
Big festival in my home town today so always best to stay at home
Not like I need an excuse 
Would like the sun to stay out for longer periods though.

Have a great evening all.
I agree KEF I think I would rather face debtors prison than return to the salt mines.
