    Not sure if we have room for three kiwis - they take up quite a bit of space - and if I've got to get them all through puberty image

    Quick pop in to say Good Morning & wish Pat  a Happy Birthday image.

    If I sneak an extra load of washing on the pile I don't think Clari will notice do you? 

    Have yet to watch this week's Sewing Bee - don't fancy sewing lycra but OH has asked me to fix his cycling jersey so looks as though I shall be doing it anyway....

    Yet another great Two Ronnies joke Fairy. They can still make me fall off the sofa laughing - even when we all know all the punchlines.

    Morning all!

    Good luck with the jobs list, Clari.  I like making myself a list at the beginning of the day (since most days are days off, now I've retired! image), then crossing the jobs off when I've done them.  The old memory isn't good enough to remember everything I should be doing, otherwise... image

    A warm, dry, windy day here.  Not much sun but at least it's blowing the washing, and keeping the midges at bay.

    Hope Chestikoff relents soon, Obelixx...

    Mmm - a new bed to plant up, Hosta!  Never mind the weather.  That's bliss!   image

    I reckon the sewing bee is one of the few programmes I really can't miss on TV.  I wish I was that creative... I can sew neatly and follow a pattern ok, but I love some of the alterations and designs, which are so imaginative and creative.  image

    You could get by with just 2 kiwis, Dove - you can get self-fertile ones so either you'd have twice the fruit (if yours is female) or... not...

    Bother.  Forgot the BOLD (again) image

  • Started digging out the new flowerbed. 25 minutes after cutting the edge and all I've dug out is this.image

    Nice looking soil though Dewdrops. Mine looks like this when I remove the turf

    Hope your horrid cough/cold goes quicker than mine did obelixx. image

    Lesley - glad you got back to sleep. I think Dove will know when the kiwis reach puberty - they'll keep saying 'I hate you' and 'it's soooo unfair'...image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Top bird just add it to the mountain in the kitchen. You might need to wait until tomorrow for it to be ironed though. Last dogs wash going through - then I can sstart on the pants crisis.

    I've just received the link for an award winning short film (very short) I participated in. All about provoking a thought on how green Sheffield is. I rather like it!

    Good film Clari.

    FG - I've just been out to buy some mew cough mixture.  Different brand, different formula so I hope it works better.

    Been busy doing admin for the dance club all morning but now I'm off outside to pot and potter.
