My cat has just been sitting in the window watching the birds on the bird table, chattering away to herself, she has now gone to sleep on the sofa, no doubt for the rest of the day.
Jo, I too can understand your frustration with your oh hoarding,. I am determined to clear out a wardrobe of OH stuff, but each time I try all I get is " you can't throw that away, it's good stuff". with a bit of luck we might part with a couple of things.
Becks you made me smile at Crinkly Bottom Hall. - that's what I call it, I just can't seem to get the right title. We used to watch Noel Edmunds and Mr Blobby on Saturday evening, I half expect him to come out of one of those cupboards. Not sure it has lived up to my expectations.I think I will get the book from the library and see if that is any more scary. Hope you and Jess are feeling better.
Off to town shortly, see what I can find, on my own this time, Oh wants to come home as soon as we get there
Charity pick up been. I was in bathroom or would've shot out & asked about the electrical stuff they do collect, at their discretion. They always come before 8.30am so I knew that there wouldnt be any mix up with the other 2 lots due round today! Thinking about it, I'll sort the electrical pick up for when OH back at work/little house. J.
Why have I agreed to take this stuff? Hmm, good point.
Seriously, some of it bequests from MIL- paintings, glasswear (!) & I hope some Royal Worcester crockery MIL always said I could have, to add to my collection! But, since have refused to open the one box I still dont know if that's in there & we're not sure if SIL knew what MIL had said...... Some of it is junk, assume SIL just didnt want it. Other things have sentimental value for OH, another horder & after the yr we've had not worth starting WW3.
Engineer now having to return for a couple of hrs at w/end to completely finish off as some of the tiling 'not set' but he's doing as much as poss today & tomorrow either him, or another one, I got totally confused, is coming. Help!
OH & daughter cleared off to TC- had to run out to her car with her handbag!!
Right, at least am warm at the mo as heating on to try & dry out tiling, but have tried to pull bathroom door closed as window open & all the heat & our £ will escape........ J.
Lovely frosty day. Put washing out , not wise I know but it does get freshenedd up. Topped up bird feeders. OH is at supemarket so have asked him to buy lard. Might be cheaper to make fat blocks for birdys than buying them all the time. Any one done this?
Page 638 is still as wierd as last night!!
Pleased you've lost some boxes Jo Hard luck on gaining some
We keep a pair of binoculars handy for visiting birds. There is one I really don't know what they are, About the size of a greenfinch but rounder and a lovely soft brown colour, with a finch typ beak. Camera zoom isn't good enough for a photo I've tried. Perhaps Sants will bring me a new camera, or it might be a lilac wheelbarrow. Will have to wait and see
Will have to cover my convovulus cneorum today. Have been putting it off as it looks so nice.
Well all the birds are still there. Have to prise myself away now need to go to shops and Daughters.
Bjay - my binoculars are always at hand as well Just had a blackcap on the feeder but no sign of the nuthatches for weeks, Hope they come back. Try one of those bird identifier sites to see if you can recognise your birdie.
Jo, hope you manage to dry your tiling out. Find it 's a pain trying to dry ANYTHING in this weather.
The sun's out but everywhere is still white including my car. Thought it'd be gone by now so must still be cold.
Morning all, cold here. Of course today is the day that the radiators in my office have decided not to work, and I don't know why. Its not the boiler, because there's still hot water. I'm already starting to freeze up despite having a long cardi and my furry boots on.
Noticed out of the window this morning that the bottom of the bird feeder had fallen out and although there was a wren, a blackbird and a robin hoping to get some feed it looked like the fat woodpigeon was getting it all. Didn't have time to go and sort it before leaving for work.
I-note-I-have been to the shops-basically to try on slippers as tootsies are cold and OH wants to but me a pair-didn't buy any
But did come back with a very heavy stone chicken ornament that had a slight chip to the beak- got it for £8 instead of £16-that is now hiding in the greenhouse as it will be a pressie

Morning numerous forkers.
Trust everyone is well.

Geoffrey really
Good morning everyone.
Could your bird be a female bullfinch , Bjay?
Just ordered my Christmas present to myself. Four tonne of gravel for the drive. I might regret that later on as it will be me spreading it about.
