    The skip is filling nicely, 30 years of my medical career in so far.

    Just been over to look at the pond, and my ducks have turned gay! There are now 2 drakes.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Oh dear, afternoon already. I have 2 of the granchildren today but I wrapped them up and they did spend most of the morning outside. They helped me pick up twigs from under the trees and then played in the garden. I managed to get more of the lawn mowed so it is a bit more level for them and I cleaned the slides for them.

    Bekkie from what I can remember it does take the crambe several years to flower growing from  a seedling. It is huge, the leaves are the size of rhubarb leaves.image

    Woops , young grandson has passed out, must have been all that fresh air. He will have to have his dinner later now. His sister is tucking into hers.

    Looks good Frit!

    Now playing the dark threatening cloud verses the four loads of washing on the line While puppy insists on cuddles for nap time. He's a bit too big for a lap dog!

    Hello

    Anti-biotics here as well now

    Don't feel like doing anything that involves moving away from where I am!

    Phew! pleased I kept that quiet - skip on our drive as well, but it's only a mini one.

    Realised I haven't started off my begonias and dahlias - not even unwrapped them from winter storage - won't happen today either

    My dog used to think he was a lap dog as well - he was quite large!!

    Matty - Reggie is 24kg and growing. I may have "more than ample thighs" but he's not exactly gentle on the bladder when he tries to squash himself on.



    Burnt my arm on the oven getting some bread out. After cooling it I put aloe vera guts on the wound. Is there anything I should now put on the wound of the aloe vera to help the plant heal?

    Afternoon image



    Took the loppers out with me when i let the dog out on the grass out the front, thought i would have 5 min lopping while he mooched about...3 or so hours later ive dug out 4 trees, just trying to compose myself before himself gets home or i will be in for an almighty telling off! image



    LP, sorry to hear you and OH are so poorly! I hope you both feel better soon, im sure the visit was worth it image



    Sounds like youve had a good time BL, not sure i would like french food! image but it was really nice of them to look after the little ones like that image



    Hosta, how lucky are you to have all that help, even if you have to dress up like poldark for it! image



    Housework SGL.....nooooo! Im sure theres something else you could do image



    Winter, not supprised you are tired sweetheart, read your posts from the last few weeks...you NEVER stop! You must need that lie in image



    Clari, hope you get things sorted at work, but in the mean time enjoy your garden, i wouldnt stress too much about where everything will go, theres not much that cant be moved with a bit of effort image



    Fritt, youve got a beautiful garden and what looks to be a beautiful location, nothing like a bit of fresh air to tire us all out image that crambe sounds fab, i rather like large plants image

    Looks lovely Fritillary image

    Well done Pdoc - I chucked out loadsa old text books and work stuff etc yesterday - must be that time of year image

    Washing dry, folded and put by rad in study to air.  House gleaming.  Halo polished image

    Poor OH had to go in to work as a colleague is off with food poisoning - he usually has Mondays off - so the trip to the tip will have to wait.

    Bekkie you can't behave yourself for two minutesimageimage.  Hope you don't suffer too much for it later.  I've spent hours in the garden yesterday and again today and the weather is just right for it but my body won't do any more.  At least it's tidier and most of the weeds have gone.  Just need to start dividing some plants and put my obelisk in.

    Lovely space there for the grandchildren to run about Fritimage

    Feeling sorry for the poorly folk.  Hope things improve soon LilyP and Matty.

    it's very rare for Jekka to try being a lapdog.  She is quite independent and takes herself off to bed when she's tired.  Ooh, just remembered the little s-d was running around the garden yesterday with a rooted rose cutting in her mouth, pot and soil flying aboutimage.
