February 06 Just dropping in on meFirst, just a thanks to the ladies who've left comments on my last blog, don't you wish we could get a system like that up and working??
Also to Wolfie, [always comes up trumps] and Rosemary for your guestbook entries.
I've been busy for a day or two. here's why, I've had two windows replaced.
Phew, what a horrible experience, having workmen in the house, especially one so small, [the house, not the workmen] plus a large gaping hole where there should be a window, and the French doors open for their access and working, I was bl**y freezing, poor Tango couldn't make out why he couldn't go into the lounge and even just say hello, Hope the photos aren't too big to open.
Yesterday I had to shorten all my net curtains and hung them, then realized I had to paint the shelving.
I had a good clean up this morning, and vac'd corners that I forgot |I had then I decided I'd start the painting, so hiked up the curtains, and again the windows are all open.
I hate upheaval. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I won't get the painting finished for another couple of days as I'm off to my younger daughter, Karen's to-morrow, as it's her birthday.
February 02 Now that's cleverThe Collard Greens I am feeling pretty bad because it look like I won't be able to plant my collard green garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.. Love Dad February 01 Small minds need not read to the endLITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE January 29 Sorry folksSorry folks
On a follow up from Harmony's comment
Well ! am I gullible or what?? I should have checked it out too shouldn't I. well I have done a 'snopes' thanks and it's all hooey LOL, but I do know that they are toxic to dogs, so everyone else you are [I think ] safe, but if you do eat a left over onion and keel over, don't blame me or Harmony LOL
BUT I'm not taking any chances., I'll make sure they're cooked, actually they're lovely roasted.
As for the flu thingy, well I think that probably is old wives tails. but it was interesting at the time eh?
The Mayo? well I didn't go into it too much as I certainly woldn't eat that if it had been hanging around.
Maybe we shold go back to the days when we had a 'taster' someone who would taste your food before you did, just in case you 'd be poisoned.
January 23 I'm sadI'm feeling quite sad to-day, As I've been sitting here, the people in the house behind me are cutting down their trees they are the cone shaped close branched conifers, which were around 18' high, now there is just space.
Why does that make me sad? well this is a private estate and trees have been getting chopped down at analarming rate, it's getting more and more difficult for the small birds to have a safe passage any more, they haven't got the wing power to travel long distances from place to place, with no trees to help, apart from the very high risk of predators, kestrel etc swooping them in the open,
I'm just wondering how many birds will be lost through this act of vandalism, they've certainly lost roosting and nesting places. We are due another very cold spell next week, and that type of tree is a haven for them as the close upright branches offered maximum protection. I'm totally cheesed off, so am turning off the computer and reading a book to take my mind off it. A pox on them! |
