Daisy, sorry I didn't check again after my last post, so it's probably a bit late for you now. I assumed Chicky would be back from her pick up trip and in bed.
I think I made that word up, but not sure. I also call her 'twinkle toes' when she dances around clicking her nails on the Lino when she wants to go out from the living room. She almost never barks. She's 14 and a half now, so I can't get too angry with her. We toyed with the idea of a dog flap for her, but I was concerned about snakes getting in.. She's pretty smart and has her own way of letting us know what's in her mind.
happy birthday for your son.
We're off out the back for an hour or so now to cut more firewood, so I won't check again for a while.
Good morning all It's glorious out there - I've been out in my pjs watching a hot air balloon floating over the garden and up and over the rise and across the marshes.
Just for you Clari ... I'm having
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Cool and cloudy start today with a breeze so feeling a lot fresher than recently. Sat on the sofa checking the news and slurping my first black coffee of the day. Taking Possum to Namur and doing an SM raid and then gentle pottering rather than frantic sorting.
Still have to fetch Possum occasionally from a late night but would rather do that than be like the two sets of parents who let their scouting sons walk home, inebriated, at 2am along country lanes after a heavy session at the local football club only to have them killed by an even more drunk scout master driving home after everyone had left. I pass the forlorn little wayside memorial every time I go to Gembloux. So many lives wrecked.
Our dogs "knock" on the back door when they need to go in or out unless they've heard a critter in the garden in which case they leap up and down and yelp and squeal. One 30 kilo Labrador and and 17 kilo terrier so very funny and most unbecoming.
Hope you get your firewood cut Pat.
Have a good BH everyone.

Totally agree Obelixx - many years ago when we were out in the sticks my 18 year old son's promised travel arrangements didn't materialise and I had a phone call in the wee small hours from a town some 30 miles away - his father was out of the country and I was stuck at home with a very poorly Wonky. All I could do was phone a taxi company and pay a huge sum over the phone for them to pick him up and bring him home ... mind you, he had to pay it back out of his paper round!!! But better that than possible awful alternatives.

Morning all/afties Pat - you'll be needing your firewood
Beautiful here too - pity I have to work
Hope chicky is getting a bit of a lie in now.
obelixx - I suppose we don't like to wrap them in cotton wool but....I'd do exactly the same as you and chicky. Could never forgive myself if I was sitting here and something dreadful could be avoidedif I just got in the car....
Glad you're getting a bit of a rest today after the 'sorting'. It's hard graft.
Quick look round before I head out - have a good day everyone

Morning all. Forgot to turn the alarm off so laying in bed waiting for his lordship to realise I need tea.

Hmm, looks like you're getting considerably more than me

Morning Clari and Dove. We're back from cutting more wood. Worn out now, it sitting down with a cup of tea.
Put your feet up for a bit Pat

Morning all
A good stock of firewood in Pat?
I was offered an extra two hours of 'me' time this morning so washing on then into the garden at 10am to make the most of our decent spell of weather.
Have a good day especially if not working on the bank holiday
