Hello and Welcome to Trefor Bark - good to see you
We're back and flolloping on the sofa - shopping is such hard work!!! First coffee and pastries in Carluccio's, then new comfy shoes, perfume, shampoo and similar bits & pieces from Boots, six summery tops (M&S very reduced) some wood glue and brass screws to fix a garden chair, a big sheet of plastic and a large roll of art paper for OH. The roll of paper was so long we had to have the top down to bring it back, then I pressed the button to put the top up before OH had taken it out of the car, and squidged it a bit good job it's for prep sketching, not important stuff
Lunch was at Jamie O's Italian place - I had lovely little lamb chops with a chilli yoghurt dip, onion and mint salad, polenta chips and cauliflower fritti. OH had spicey duck leg with Italian green lentils and fennel salad. We shared my polenta chips and cauliflower. It was really really good
We decided we'd only need something light for supper , so we bought a lobster from the market and some asparagus from the farm shop on the way home - I'll make some hollandaise for it, but I think we'll be eating late this evening.
We know how to live
Lovely hairdo Panda
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning and evening all, been AWOL at vets with Flatface, but just visited and he's feeling much better after having his abscess cleaned out! Not sure he feels better about being hoodwinked into loosing his manhood whilst he was under tho!
Responsible haircut panda? Sounds serious! sounds like chicky has the wheels looking equally posh!
Heavenly sounding day Dove! Glad you both enjoyed it!
Haha Jo, there seems to be a garden centre near every place you visit! So I can see its clearly not your fault! Its those naughty town planners!
Sounds like some good purchases made at the Garden Centres today, obviously there are lots of sticky labels about
Verdun, my Cannas are a long way from flowering but they were new this year so I suppose I must be patient.
Been on Nanna duty today but off duty for the next two days so hopefully I will get plenty of gardening in. Need to decide where to put my new Clematis, I'm leaning towards a container at the moment but want to source the right one.
Wonky - well done for taking Flatface to the vet and getting him treated and 'sorted out' - not everyone would do that for a stray. I hope he comes to appreciate that it was all for his own good

Winter, I'm afraid I did, and considering my job isn't secure at the moment, I think I maybe crazy but the vets think I'm lovely and did it on the cheap for me! Should have been £136 in total but they did it for £76 and a free overnight stay and free treatment and antibiotics jab, bless them! Dove has just told me she will contribute which is very kind, she says she doesn't mind contributing to deKnackering a moggy!
In short Winter, I think Flatface has decided that he is mine, and I've got him a color, but he's still a shed cat but its a very comfy one and we are going to get an ID catflap so he doesn't have to defend it and he's safe in there!
Phew, I'm back! Not so much a grown up hair cut as a bleach of the roots I prefer to have dark roots than a badger stripe My hair dresser wasn't there when I arrived (no appointment needed, it's drop in) so was delayed by an hour!
Haha Jo! Yup cats choose where they want to live! That's how we got our last cat! Three legged white cat moved into the shed! Be one heartless ***** that ignored that plight! Rescued our latest Harrie from a revoking centre and now Flatface! Cat club grows and grows!
Our lovely window cleaner has done a wonderful job as usual and our lovely tree surgery chap has sent his man round with 2 loads of chipped beech and ash. Makes the most wonderful compost.
Been very busy and now heading for a nice long bath.
Please excuse the smell. His Lordship safely returned from his bike ride and hasn't showered and the dog has exploded in the hallway. I am so very tempted to rip the carpet up and dispose of it via the black bin...
... shame he's also managed to hit the wallpaper, my sewing machine, and the tent.

Evening all,

Hope all exam takers had a good day.
Sounds like a good day out Dove.

Off for a quick look round.

Wonky, how did you manage a visit to the vets, let alone Flatface's emasculation?
I am correct in my knowledge that he's not yours
Did you pay for it?
