Morning all.
Staying home again today, and will do a roast for lunch.
Morning Janet.
Just done my online Tesco shopping for Tuesday.
We are going to Gorlexton cafe at lunch time, don’t know whether to have a roast or a naughty burger.
Love
Susiexx
Yum. Either sounds nice.
Morning folk.
My injured friend has an appt at 11.30 with the orthopaedic surgeon, prior to her surgery to reset her wrist tomorrow, and I shall be taking her and maybe going in too. Then hopefully I will have time to join other ladies at the community cafe from 2pm.
I am making appts for brickies to view the work I want doing on my front brick wall, to create a bin bay, (cut though the wall and install a gate). Have someone popping round tomorrow, and asked another if they can do Wednesday.
Morning all.
Brilliant sunshine here.
Hope you get on alright today Janet.
A busy day, Susie. Had to leave her to get home, walk Holly, feed her, have a McD lunch while drinking a much needed cuppa, then went back to hospital when friend had finished. They have put back her surgery to Thursday, but she needed mrsa swabs, blood tests and ecg. All done today. And answering questions.
Her friend, in the meantime, saw to her dog.
Morning all.
Some plans for today.
Morning Janet,
Just waiting for Tesco delivery.
Morning all.
Busy busy here. Shopping first this morning, then I can start putting rubbish in the car from the bedroom, and book a tip run. Hoping to get a couple more builders round later to quote on garden wall. It will be a much bigger job that anticipated.
Morning Janet,
What has the builder got to do with the brick wall.
Susie xx
Knock down, excavate behind, build new wall and a gate.
Morning.
Up early today, 6, made a cuppa tea to drink by bedroom window. I’m still here, lol.
Not sure what I will get up to today. Have a tip run booked for Saturday, with stuff from garden shed and bedroom.
Think I will put off the brickie expected later. Say I am stopping inspections for now. Someone else is here on Friday lunchtime and I am waiting for a quote from yesterday’s visit.
Morning.
A builder expected at noon, and I need to load the car ready for tip run tomorrow. Have to move it first as well down the road.
Morning all.
So pleased to have done tip run yesterday. All went well. I then went on to some stores, then finished off with a senior’s breakfast deal in Morrisons. I had converted More points to a fiver, so ended up paying just £1 for the meal and drink, as it was automatically deducted when cashier scanned my card.
Came straight home afterwards as Holly had been left over 3 hours, but she was fine.
I will get a clothes wash on soon, hang outside hopefully. Once the garden is all complete I want to look at alternative drying methods, but will claim more of the drying line as I’ll be able to reach. Raised bed underneath coming out.
Will do a bit of housework today, and cook a beef and pork meatloaf for Sunday roast lunch. And pop into shop later to see our friend.
Morning Janet,
I’ve got Pork chops today with apple sauce, roast potatoes, dark greens, carrots.
Don’t think I will be able to walk around outside today as I’m in agony with my back.
Got a load of washing on.
Susie xx
Susie, have you done anything you shouldn’t have, aggravated it? Hope you feel ok soon.
No I’ve been like it for a while now.
Morning all.
Any plans for today Janet?
We are only popping to the Tropical fish shop, one of my Neons died last night, a few years old, but there is only one left now swimming on his own, so I will get him some mates this morning.
Have a nice day all.
Morning all. Susie, did you get more fish?
Was your post from yesterday? If so, a lot of my time was spent project managing the gardening team, supplying them with drinks and snacks, helping sort out the stuff that came out of the shed (that was taken down by the time I got back from community cafe), then when they left for the day, I had a look in the plastic boxes looking to see what was there. I still can’t find the lovely kitchen clock bought by a colleague for my 50th birthday. So goodness knows where it is.
Then I covered it all with my new tarpaulin in case it rained in the night. Friend popped down the alley just after 7, after seeing her friend, to have a look, and I noticed more materials in the garden, some more stones and a new pot. Aaron, the head gardener, obviously sneaked in after a bit of shopping. (I gave him the gate key). He is also supposed to get a new washing pole to cement in for me and a bit of wood to put up against the hole in fence. The panel dropped down a bit when soil removed but still needs blocking.
I got up at 6, again. Boys next door disturbed me. But I’d been awake awhile, as I am worrying about the mess in the alley. Not only is it the rubbish from the shed (it was like the flipping tardis!!!), but the wood of the shed, and the bricks from the raised beds. I really hope they clear it today but they still have lots to do.
Outstanding is the painting of the shed panels, laying down stones and bark, trimming back next door’s overhang from my honeysuckle, and assembling the shed. And taking the rubbish away. The shed is expected between 9.32-11.32.
I can’t wait till they’ve finally finished, I can take a deep sigh of relief and relax. He has suggested that rather than have the front garden converted into a bin bay (and a lot of money spent on it), we can push the bins up against the back fence, and maybe get a screen of some sort, to hide them, and direct more money on materials for this project. Make it look really nice.
Now the end shrub has been removed and the remaining one cut back and down, one bin can be pushed into the corner. Once the garden bin has been emptied next week, I will continue to fill maybe with plant waste, but won’t renew the subscription in September. When I pointed out the continuation of pruning the top rose, Aaron replied ‘you’ve got me! Do it for £20’. The new shed has a sloping roof so nobody can climb onto it.
Morning Janet,
Yes bought six neon tetras.
The garden sounds good.
Take a photo of before and after, what the men are doing.
No plans for today.
Susie xx
