Hellooooooo Moooooonie

Hope your migraine is lifting

 

Me too

Helloooooo Moonie, I hope you are feeling a bit better?

I think carnations went out of gardening fashion, Squiggle, but, as I have never been someone who follows fashions of any kind, I don't care.

Wow, that is a good sized photinia shrub you have got.

I LOVE carnations! I grow them and frequently buy them. I love the colours, the shape and the smell
They remind me of my dad too, he grew them when I was a child and by growing them myself, I feel like I'm keeping his memory alive

I hope you've all had a lovely day I've just had a very nice bath

Beautiful carnations, Summer.

Have you had a good day?

My youngest son paid me a surprise visit this afternoon, which was lovely.

Aw that's nice! How is he?

It's been a calm day, but productive too, there's things I just can't get done when my hands are busy doing hair..

 I understand what you mean.

Son was showing me pics of their soon-to-be new kitten. The seller is a friend of his GF, so this time things will go smoothly. They are picking her up a week on Sunday. She's a little grey bundle and seems really friendly - even though I am not a cat lover, she does look cute.

Aw I bet they're very excited! I'm pleased they've found one, and from a respectable breeder too. I'm not a cat fan either but grey sounds rather adorable, I bet it's very cute!

It does look sweet. Son isn't really a cat lover either but he knew it would be hard to resist a little kitten. He has made his GF promise that they can get a dog in years to come.

Is she the cat lover? I hope he gets a dog too later on
What are your plans for tomorrow?

Yes, they had a cat when she was young. He'll get a dog, you can bet on it.

Grocery shopping and maybe a bit of gardening, weather permitting.

Lol I like his style what breed does he like?
I saw my friends puppy tonight, she's soooooo adorable!

He loves golden retrievers - obviously. But he likes larger breeds rather than toy dog sizes.

Aww, is that the friend with the border terrier puppy? 

Aw, I think a golden retriever would be lovely- keep it in the family

Yes, and bramble saw her over the fence and wanted to play, I can't wait for her to be fully vaccinated so they can meet properly

I hope moonie is feeling better tonight

I'm going to nod off yogi, so I had better wish you goodnight now. Sweet dreams see you tomorrow

It will be nice when they can play together.

Keira seems to have made friends with neighbour's daughter's Westie pup through the fence. Our neighbours mind the pup a few days each week and the pup used to yap a lot, then Keira would bark back, but over the last week, they sniff each other through the fence, wag their tales and no barking.

 

Moonie did pop in earlier but I don't think he is 100% yet.

Goodnight Summer, sweet dreams.

Hug for Ros.

Good morning everyone

 

Wet night here, at present dry with a bit of blue sky amidst the clouds. Heavy showers forecast throughout the day.

 

Good morning, everyone.

Weather is cloudy, with showers forecast for later.

Going grocery shopping but I think the gardening I planned to do, will have to wait until tomorrow.

Have a good day, everyone.

 

 

 

Yogi, I think you will find that the weather is poor for a long time to come so you may have to wait a long time before you get a dry day to do gardening. The BBC radio newsreader said the other day that summer is over and if you look at weather forecasts he wasn't joking

 That's not so good. I just need to get some things planted out, so even an hour of dry weather ought to be enough.

Good morning everyone Summer over EL? I hope the weather forecaster was joking.

 

My lovely youngest grandson has offered to pop over later on and plant the latest 2 plants for me, on his precious day off too.  They are short-staffed at the hotel so he is working crazy hours.

 

What a lovely picture of those carnations, aren't they gorgeous and I can practically smell the lovely scent too.

 

I've rushed around like a mad thing putting the rubbish out and putting 2 bags of books in the car for my daughter and a bag of dog food for Tilly before the rain gets going.  On my way to housegroup I am picking up my friend who has been so ill, it's her first outing then onto drop off the books and dog food at my daughter's and my eldest grandson will be there too to say hi to my friend.

 

Have a great day everyone, moonie hope you are feeling better now

3 weeks ago I posted about the possibility of one or two cranes being hatched at Slimbridge.

On the BBC news website this morning:

Good morning all it's a very wet day here, I love it!

Crikey squiggle you are busy today, and what a lovely grandson you have I hope your friend enjoys coming out for a bit

Hi Buddies

The weather is about to turn nasty here

Let's hope it gets back to 'normal' soon

Afternoon.

I have returned from grocery shopping and have Cadbury's Mini Rolls and French Fancies if you'd like one? 

Morrisons had carnations as the plant of the week at £1.33. I was soooo tempted but I resisted.

Moonie, I hope you are feeling better.

Squiggle, your grandson has a kind heart, what a helpful lad.

I hope your friend enjoyed her outing and I'm sure it will have lifted her spirits.

Is work busier or quieter today, Summer?

 

 

Fabulous news, El and such a sweet pic.

A Cadbury's roll if you please Yogi

You mean you resisted one of these?

I am okay now fankoo

Yes, I resisted the carnations. I did buy one yesterday from the garden centre.

I'm glad you are feeling better.

So not entirely an then over the last couple of days

Fankoo

 I'm afraid not. I'm a bit of a carnation-aholic.

I used to have a lot in the garden but they all seemed to have vanished now Yogi

Right, I am off do something a little more productive Yogi. Have a nap  

See you later

 Enjoy your nap, see you later.

Looking at the sky I think the rain is about to start any moment. I was on the phone to a client who lives just down the road. She said her husband had just gone out into the garden to do some gardening - I don't think he'll get much done.

 

And there's just been a flash of lightning and then thunder.

 

 

Moonie, I hope you have a pleasant

And it's now pouring down.

It has been cloudy all day, up here. No sign of rain or thunder yet, but we did have prolonged thunderstorms a few nights ago.
