I'm onto the drugs already, the pain in a bit numbed.

Did quite a bit yesterday. despite the torrential showers, typing a bit off due to bandage on left index finger.

The joys of a greenhouse.
It's dry and out of the wind & rain.
It's quiet and away from the phone.
It's now got four paving slabs laid inside the door and the gap to the left concreted. There is a step made of bits of sleeper after the slabs to go up six inches or so to paving in front of the end bed, not done yet.

The trials of a greenhouse.
Its dry, had to use a lump hammer and bolster-chisel to dig out the slope so I could lay the slabs, hence the index fingure.
Cement dust does not blow away.


The next bit of paving is a freebie. Vandals pulled up a 2x2 and a 2x1 section of rubber safety matting from the playground and used it as flooring for a den in the bushes. The council replaced all the matting in the play area with a different type. Guess what got lugged out of the bushes into the greenhouse, where it fits perfectly.

I'm a beautiful grey cat, full of chicken. We're also on the second bottle of rioja so 'scuse any dodgy spelling. hic

Peter, I hope you're feeling better.

Compo, did you shave your head to go with the pink romper suit?

Aaahhh Solpadol.

ive had a lazy day today,pottering indoors chasing the kids into doing homework,demonstrating how to make apple pie etc,, watched the chinese grand prix after lunch, having updated the last puter to xp ive had to download new drivers for the slide scanner and spent the evening getting that going , this winters project is to scan 30 plus years of slides onto disc,(well its in the five year plan anyway, allong with copying lp's onto cd) must go its time to crack open the bottle.

The head comes naturally shaved!!

The pink romper suit is my favourite 'around the home-wear' not for the allotment though.....

The scores on the doors are.................

Had to tape cracker as missus wants to watch Jayne Eyre, so have come back to my essay / interspersed with posting on here.

Evening Bumcracks are we all groovy?

I've come in my Belly Dancing costume. Thought i'd try it out for Herby, since he's asked Piglet to bring him back some belly dancers from Egypt.

I've been to a conker tournament today with youngest ankelbiter. Cooked and had family visiting.

I'm sitting here now, all dressed up with a cup of tea listening to The Killers

Compo, for gods sake don't mix up your windows.

"When dealing with a dysfunctional parent I always find that a light dusting of Derris powder on the head prevents catapillars."

Are you sure it's just Solpadol that you're on?

Would love to join you guys but I've got an hour's worth of ironing to do before I hit the sack.
Can't match Lizzie's belly dancing outfit, I'm afraid. Here in my dressing gown (have shaved my legs, though. )

Ooh you little temptress (not that I'm tempted I hasten to add )

Would anyone like some of Grocks cucumber sandwiches and scones? There's a brew on as well!!!!
