Bits and Bobs No 8

OH, it was your snow pictures on 7 that stretched it - I think they need to be resized to 640xwhatever. I do it in Photoshop but I think there is a way without fancy software - someone might enlighten us.

[oldherbaceous]

Thankyou Geoff, i'll try and make sure they are resized if i put any other pictures on the forum.

[lizzie]

Trust you and Old Codger to be talking about birds..........bloody typical that is

[oldherbaceous]

Only the feathered sort i can assure you Lizzie.

Have you had a bad night Lizzie, i couldn't help noticing your other early posting?

[Smallweed]

Good Morning everyone hope you have all had a good nights sleep.Don't know what it is like in your part of the world but it is blowing a gale here and the rain is lashing it down outside.

No gardening or allotmenteering for me today methinks

[oldherbaceous]

Morning Smallweed, we have the same weather as you, i just took a pan of fire ashes out and ended up wearing nearly all of them.

I think they are on about it brightening before more heavy rain later.

[Smallweed]

Good morning OH,I do hope you were going to put those ashes somewhere dry ready to go onto your allotment field I bet you looked good as a chimney sweep

Yesterday we had thick frost in the morning and so I was able to get to the allotment to get a bit of work done which was nice but once it started getting too wet after the frost melted on the paths I headed for home.

I can never understand this country's weather and we seem to be the only ones that can have every type of weather in one day

Hope you have a good day in all that you do

Morning OH

1 - Wide photos. All you need to do, since you are in Photobucket, is click "Edit images" at the top of the main screen and take it from there.

2 - Is OC's male bird in action this morning?

3 - We had your weather earlier and didn't like it, so we sent it southeastward. Sorry Fine, calm and warm now

[oldherbaceous]

Thankyou Alan.

All is quite over the allotment this morning, although i haven't actually ventured over.
I bet Old Codger can't wait to look in the nest boxes to check for eggs.

We look forward to your brighter weather arriving.

[garden_serf]

OC - Its quite exciting I bet, new chucks...

Make sure OH doesn't get in there and steal or trick you before you get to them!! I can just see him planting a rubber egg or two for you to find

I too would love to see some piccies of your new arrivals (and the beautifully built coup of course!).

We are due some very cold weather here again this w/e.

[oldherbaceous]

Dear Garden_serf, i do have a dozen really old china eggs that i could swop.
I can just imagine Old Coger sitting down to his two boiled eggs trying to cut the tops off them.

[richard p]

oh im tempted to suggest you try sticking a hard boiled egg in one of the nest boxes but i wont cos oc might read it aswell

[donedigging]

Good Evening Old Codger,

hope your new girls have settled well?

[old codger]

Good morning everyone. I had my first chooky egg this morning about 11o' clock it was very exciting. I canot send photos as i can't get to grips with posting them.

[old codger]
