How right you are Jenny
Another day in the garden me thinks.

Good morning fellow members at last a really lovely spring morning, sunny skies without being freezing cold.

Only a brief visit, I have Hannah today and she is waiting for me to go and help with the play dough . I think we are taking the twins to the nature reserve after they leave play group at lunch time so a busy day in store...

Enjoy your day everyone..

Morning all

Was lovely and sunny first thing, Ive got all my washing on the line but now the dark clouds are gathering. Hopefully they will blow over smartish.

Off to clean and shop for step father and then call in nursing home to visit my aunt, so out all day.

Have a good one everybody

Morning Pat, as for the picture "no comment" Bet that was uncomfortable, but nice to see you're doing the tourist bit even though you're a resident.

Hope you remember what you went down the town for by the time you get there, but I'm sure you will come back with something, just try not to break it

Morning Moyra. I think the beauty of having really long hair like yours is the fact that you don't really have to do it, you can just tie it up, but the drying of it must be a long, boring process, it's bad enough drying my short hair. Enjoy a lovely walk in the sunshine with Amber.

Lol, yes so do I!

Morning Lynn, hope you find your keys, and that's a much better idea getting Gorden to do the new pics, I do hope it works for you.

Morning Lorraine, busy, busy, busy again today then and tonight by the looks of it, stay sane Lorraine

Morning Malka, why do they do that when they know not to deliver before you've said Anyway, at least you've got it now and can maybe nip back into bed for a while.

Morning Jenny, be careful on that M25, there's a massive hold up I think between J 4 and 5? Can't be sure on that one but just heard it on radio sussex so check it out before you set off this morning Jen. Oh yes, it's a really great to be alive day today that's for sure.

Those blooming dogs next door, one is a labradoodle and he has no training, he barks at anybody when I'm out on the drive, he'd eat the postman alive, and he goes manic at the fence when he knows Zena is about, so she has no choice but to race up there and retaliate. To see her hanging over the fence like that was very scary I nearly gave meself a heart attack racing up there to unhook her! She knew she did wrong cos she sloped off into her bed, but of course, she's fine now that we've been out and I've made it up to her for my shouting. I'm going to rig something up between the apple tree and our back fence to stop her getting to that low bit. Trouble is, THEIR side it's an 8ft drop if she did get over it, hence my headless chicken appearing. Have a lovely trip to your mum Jenny.

Morning Bev, glad to hear there's no headache this morning and if you get it back later after being out in your car, then I would get that exhaust checked cos mine is making me the same, but mine is broken somewhere and I can smell the fumes.

Morning Gerry, oh I love Hayling Island too, such a lovely, quiet place isn't it, you just wouldn't know it was there really would you. Good luck with that hospital phone call, let's hope it's good news all round for you Gerry.

Morning Jen, If you're out in the garden again today, can you please make sure that cute little supervisor of yours is comfortable before you start!!!

Morning Mini, it's lovely that you have Hannah so often, and I'm sure you love getting involved with whatever she wants to get up to, especially the play dough! Go on, admit it Mini

Had a lovely, lovely walk, sun was glistening on the sea down below, nobody about, then we came home and I put some water in Zena's pool, so she could scrabble herself clean, but she drank some of the cold water and then proceeded to vomit it back up So strange that she can never drink cold water Anyhoo, once she settled, I made her a bowl of warm water, which she drank and was very grateful for, cos she licked my face clean I love this dog!!!!

Off to do whatever today, I must bank that cheque first port of call, and then I might nip over to TK Max for a summer dressing gown. I love their dressing gowns, they're a bit more special and more comfortable and most of all, a lot cheaper than anywhere else! Oooops, shouldn't have told you lot about that bit should I, it might mean I have less choice next time around cos you've all been buying them.

Enjoy your day, I'll be back lunchtime.

Morning everyone

Thanks for all the good wishes for Loki. He's fine - a bit quiet this morning but doing well.

Helena - Loki would have been exactly the same. We used to have a couple of small dogs the other side of the fence that would bark at him and you could see him sort of examining the fence trying to find a way through, over or under. It's a high fence though, so he couldn't actually lean over.

Lynn - I hope you get some nice photos today.

Jenny - I hope all goes well with your visit to your mum.

Tangutica - That's a great photo of you all on camels.

Bev - I hope your head is okay today.

Mini - Have a lovely day with the children.


I cycled with Carys to school this morning - for some reason I found it really hard on the way home so I just pretended that I wanted to go that slow.

I think I'll visit my parents this morning.

Take care everyone.

Had a nice walk with Dillon up the field through the woods and back down the field we had company some of the way.
My neighbour with his black Cocker Spaniel Poppy. have one arm longer than the other as Dillon was on his long line and Poppy free roams. Don't trust Dillon 100% at the moment not to follow his nose or get silly and run into a tree or into someone he did knock into Roby'ns knee's at one point.

Found the keys looked through the recycling bin the shed the compost bin and was totally stumped. Checked the front garden up the side of the house round the back path near the back gate. Still no luck.
Postman came so went to get the key to open the post box and the keys were hanging up I usually put them in a drawer.

Rang the agent told him we will be emailing some more photos without the lights on indoors this time as it will be nice weather and hopefully people will not be thinking the house is dark all the time. That the house is now different out the front. They will go onto right move almost immediately when we have emailed them and the front of the house one and view in the paper next week. Cut off day is Monday.
I did say you told Gorden you would be back for the outside photo when the weather improved he said I can come out if you want me too see different again to Saturday. I declined and said no we will do them.
Again the neighbour I walked with today said he is surprised no one has been and said as far as he is aware we are regarded as a sought after area still.

Good luck with that then Lynn.

In no particular order. Never did remember what it was I wanted to get today. Never mind it will come back to me when the shops are closed. Bought cushions and sheets and a sundress instead! Agonised over lovely flowering plants but they struggle this time of year and need watering all the time. My huge hydrangeas are a sorry sight already.

I've got LOTS of 'camel' photos! We LOVE the Mazotos Camel Park. I'm such a frequent visitor with guests in summer that they let me in for nothing AND allow me to take Bella in too! They have a pool there as well. And waiter service round the pool mmmm

My daughter has informed me that she is taking me to a treat in London the day after I arrive in July. Dim Sum Afternoon Tea Party at the Crazy Bear restaurant in Fitzrovia. She said we can shop for a wedding get up for me too if we haven't found one the day before in Reading.

After her race yesterday she apparently hurts everywhere! She said she can't even pee or cough without it hurting!

Bella has just moved off the sofa and flaked out on the cooler tiles. That's the first time I've EVER seen her lie down on the tiles! She is a bit of a 'cushion princess'!

I've just been rearranging the greenhouse to make way for some plants I have potted on.
What I thought was a lump of compost unfurled 8 long legs and scampered off
I screamed, arrrgggggggh, Pepsi came running jumped all over me and the greenhouse shelf and now I don't know where the flippin thing is!
I won't be going back in there in a hurry!

I hope this MayBank holiday brings you a few viewers and then a buyer..........

Most likely it ran into the house Lynn while Pepsi was jumping all over you. Don't worry about it, I am sure it has found somewhere comfy inside to live ... behind the loo, up inside your bedroom curtains, under your favourite chair? Oh! Shoe cupboard? They like shoes!
