hope the weather stayed ok, so you managed to get some work done, and don't need to work Saturday. That is a fair few customers.   But as I know your workload/earnings is weather/seasonal related,so can be tricky to juggle.

 

Hicky

Glad you managed to get some more done in your garden today. As Fredo says, you certainly keep yourself busy, with the garden, work, the grandchildren and even helping your lad move again. Has your lad moved in ok now?

Your home made sweets sound yummy, but I would not trust myself with all that boiling sweetness to attempt it myself. 

 

Fredo

Aaawww at your little pup being 6 weeks old already, and eating minced chicken...bless his little cotton paws.  

Yes our dog is very placid, but gets over hyped if we are out and she sees other dogs, or if someone rings our door bell. She loves her sleep on the comfy cushions or in her little doggie bed, always with one or more of her toys with her.   Yes I do talk to her in a silly voice and she loves the attention when I do.   We don't let her upstairs, but she has the run of the lounge and first choice of where to sit in the lounge. My hubby sits on the floor if the dog is comfy on the sofa.   I bet your house smells nicely with all that home made bread.

 

It was a nice morning to take doggie out, but is wet and drizzly tonight, hope it brightens up this weekend and stays nice, especially as it is Glastonbury and Wimbledon.

 

Roll on BB eviction night, I so hope to see Dexter stay.

I thought Gina was really funny last night, so glad she got to stay. She is the sort of HM I like, Very humourous in the diary room, gave her all to the task in hand, isn't making a big issue of the fact that most of the other HM's nominated her, but smart enough to work out they are all going to try to be nice to her now they realise the public have voted to keep her in again. 

 

Have a good evening all, and enjoy the eviction show. xxx

M

Evening Everyone.

 

Love the Happy Friday gif Frodo.:-)

You have been busy baking, those breadcakes sound nice.

Do you vacuum pack them to freeze them? or of course you can get the double zip bags like i use and vacate the bag with a straw, you just leave a little bit of the corner unzipped till you vacate it then zip the rest, of course they keep well if they don't have air in the bag.

 

Yes Mollie, was in the garden, couldn't do much, pruned a few branches on the plum tree, they were growing towards the centre which isn't allowed.

 

My lad is fine now, he bought 2 more sheds as to take down and put up the old ones would have ruined them.

 

Have put more netting over some of the plants, need to get some insect netting now.

Was going to take the pictures today but weather not on my side.

Will see tomorrow.

Mind you on the pictures you may not see much if any of the fruit.

 

Went to the Summer Palace Finest Peking & Cantonese Cuisine.

The standard food is a Banquet, which we love.

We just had a soup, some starters, twice, missed out the duck and had curried beef and fried rice, then had deep fried banana in batter with ice cream.

 

Looking forward to tonight, only 10 minutes to go, missed some of the live feed with being out.

 

Bye Jemima.

Jemima thinks she will go if it's a double, she really is crazy.

I think she will collapse if her name is called.

Hicky

Evening.

Wet here most of the day. It stopped about 3.30pm, but by then everything was too wet to cut any grass.

Not sure what the forecast for tomorrow is?

 

Yes Hicky, it's a big design flaw having all the gardens outside. It would be much easier if they were all indoors.

Glad you enjoyed your chinese meal.

 

Hi Mollie. Good to see your OH knows his position in your household....below the dog?

 

Hi Frodo, those breadcakes sound tasty.

 

TBH, even though I'm watching BB, I find I'm not paying as much attention to it since Sallie went. I don't mind some of them, but no real favourites.

emptybox

Good evening all

 

Hicky

wow, what great garden pics.   Thank you for posting all of those. We can all plainly see what hard work you have put into that garden. And you certainly grow a good variety of fruit and veg. I can plainly see your strawberries looking lovely and red there. Is the netting to stop the birds? What type of insects does the insect netting stop? How do you manage with slugs? OH this year is complaining the slugs have got to some of our summer flowers we bought recently. But maybe it was insects? Glad you had nice weather today, we did too.   Sounds like you had a good selection of food at the Summer Palace.   Glad your lad is settled well, I am sure they are well pleased to get more room their new house has to offer.

 

Emptybox

hope you enjoy your usual Saturday night sphag bol, and that it has been a bit nicer weather wise for you.Are you having the weekend off work?

 

Fredo

hope you are having a good Saturday and that pup is ok.What was for tea? It was Dolponise potatoes from M and S and veg for me, very nice too.

 

today we took son for his first music exam. It was 40 mins drive from us. As it was his first one he was very nervous. When he came out, he said he did ok but the examiner unerved him part way into the exam by giving him the wrong sheet of music to play.   Son queried it at the time by saying the sheet was not familiar to him and was not like anything he had expected or practised beforehand and the examiner just told him he could answer none of his  questions, and my son just needed to carry on and play the sheet he had given him!  Examiner did not even come over to son and check the sheet he had given him. Son of course struggled and tried to play it twice. It was not until the examiner came over to him to give him the next piece of work that he noticed he had given my son the wrong music sheet.   Heaven knows why this examiner did not bother to check it when son queried it with him? Poor lad found it difficult after that to concentrate, and he has worked hard for this exam. (and of course the exam as well as the lessons building up to it have cost us). I just hope he can get a good pass.

 

Looking forward to BB again tonight, although Saturday nights aren't usually that interesting as we have to go through the whole eviction thing again.

Was pleased to see Dexter got to stay. He looked so surprised it was him, I am sure because the HM's don't like him, they thought it would be Dexter out next.

 

Have a good evening all xxx

M

Good Evening Mollie.

 

The netting you can see is bird netting, i haven't got the insect netting yet.

 

The birds will take any fruit they can get hold of.

 

I haven't had so much trouble with slugs this year, with all the tubs being in 2" deep saucers it acts as a moat, i keep them all full of water so the slugs don't like water, i have also put crushed egg shells in some of the tubs, i do have a very good slug pellet but haven't used them this year yet.

 

Thats awful Mollie, giving your lad the wrong music sheet.

Hope he does ok.

 

Dexter was surprised to stay because Jemima had decided the public would keep her in so they all went along with that.

She must have been stunned when Emma called her name out.

She was dumbfounded when Gina was saved instead of her on Wednesday.

 

Not had a lot to eat today.

Saltfish with bacon and egg for brekki.

A packet of King Prawns, boiled then peeled, a load of fruit and jelly, and i finished the beef rendang off from yesterday, wow, it's better the next day.

 

Just had a bowl of fresh cherries.

Remember 8.45pm TONIGHT Team Clark are on All Star Family Fortunes raising money for xxxx

Will have to tape that.

Hicky

Evening.

The weather was the same here Hicky. Dull but warmer than of late.

I got some work done anyway. Not quite caught up yet, but not too far behind.

 

Your garden is looking great Hicky. It's absolutely packed with stuff. Puts mine to shame. Your grass needs a bit of strimming round the edges though....  

 

Hi Mollie. Hope your son does well in his music exam, despite the mix up with song sheets.

I enjoyed my spag bol as usual.

 

Forgot to say that my eldest nephew (17) is on an expedition in South America at the moment. Think they spend 2 weeks in Bolivia then 2 weeks in Peru. And spend some time in the Andes around Lake Titicaca.

It'll be experience for him anyway.

emptybox

Afternoon Everyone.

 

Afternoon Emptybox.

 

I strimmed the edges of the grass this morning, before i read your post.

 

Had nice fresh smoked undyed cod fillet for brekkie with pouched eggs.

 

It's been dull all day, hoping for some sun.

 

Just watching F1, terrible them having these tyre blowouts, what is going on, 3 cars today so far, same wheel each time, left hand rear.

 

Going to be making a chicken roast soon, love the corn fed chicken best.

will do roasties and whole carrots as well.

Might get some cabbage leaves from the garden as well.

Hicky

Good evening all

 

Emptybox

glad to hear you are not too behind workwise, let's hope we are in for another good week weather wise now.

Gosh that is some long distance trip for a 17 year old. Is it an organised one? Has he gone with some friends?

 

HIcky

that sounds like a good healthy brekkie today.

We went to greasy spoon and I had grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, beans and 2 brown toast.   Very nice.

Hope you enjoyed your roast, bet your home grown cabbage is nice.

 

So face to face noms tomorrow, not sure whether I like that or not... hope they can't discuss or see who the others are nominating beforehand.  Some might be too scared to nominate to their face who they would really like to nominate, perhaps?

Still enjoying this series though.

 

Not been a very nice day here today, was drizzly this morning, then grey and cloudy the rest of the day.

Rib was aching again today as I rushed around a lot yesterday, so had to take it easier today and have some ibuprofen.

 

have a good evening all xxx

M

Evening Mollie.

 

Your greasy spoon brekkie sounds great.

 

I was going to go to the garden centre for brekkie but O/H said we have so much food in the house.

 

The roast was great, had taken 3 massive outside leaves of the cabbage, washed, rolled, and sliced it up.

O/H said she didn't like dark cabbage as it will be strong flavour, so i ate it all.

 

It's just been raining a bit, stayed dry all day though.

 

You must take care of those ribs,

 

Looking forward to the face to face noms tomorrow night.

 

I don't bother nominating or voting, prefer to watch.

 

Work tomorrow.

Hicky

Evening.

Not bad day here, cloudy but dry.

Got my own grass cut.

 

Not touting for business Mollie, just saying as I see.

You have to be careful of your ribs, and not overdo it.

 

My nephews trip is an organized one, with loads from the school going. Think they are helping build a school or something while they are out there? He's been planning and fund raising for at least 18 months.

 

Was meaning to do some ironing this afternoon, but got caught up with computers again. Was trying out the preview of Windows 8.1.

 

Hi Hicky. Glad you got your edges trimmed.

I saw those F1 tyre problems in the news. Very bad for the British Grand Prix.

 

I voted in that poll Mollie. I voted for Daley and the Twins.

Good morning all

 

Hicky

hope work is not too busy today and that you get a good brekkie.

Glad you enjoyed your roast, especially your own grown cabbage.

I like to vote on the poll because it is a bit of fun that makes me feel a bit of power as far as noms are concerned, which is ridiculous because I know the poll means nothing at all really.

 

Emptybox

Glad you got some decent weather yesterday, but by doing your own garden, is that not a bit of a bus mans holiday for you?

Because he is a young teenager, it is good that your nephew's trip sounds so well organised, and that there are a lot of them going. 

 

Gosh another Windows? My old lappy still uses the one before Windows 8. But I hate it when they change things.

 

Interesting who you voted for on the poll, yes if either those went, they are both rather dull HM's who wouldn't be really misssed.

I voted for Wolfie and Callum. Wolfie is irritating me with her stirring and moaning, sometimes I think the others are afraid of her. And I voted for Callum because I find him boring. Dan is not annoying me so much this week as he has not been going on so much about the acting thing, so I gave him a week off my pointless vote.

 

Nice day today, thank goodness because I have loads of washing to catch up with. Took doggie out a walk first thing down seafront before it gets busy.

 

Hope Freddo had a good weekend.

 

have a good day all.

looking forward to noms tonight.

M

Evening Everyone.

 

I voted in that poll, not sure what the point is but it came up on twitter.

I Think I voted for Wolfy & Daley.

 

I have asked my neighbour if he would look after my garden while i'm on holiday, he said he would, I took him as his young lad a walk around the garden and gave the young one a nice big ripe strawberry.

 

No LF tonight, just the normal BB, the noms should be good.

 

We got a big order at work, ÂĢ1.8m

And sent out an invoice with vat of ÂĢ90,000

 

Off tomorrow anyway,

Hicky

Evening.

Showers here today, but I got a bit done.

 

That's nice of your neighbour Hicky, agreeing to look after your garden. Did you tell him about the night classes he'll have to attend in order to understand your watering system?

Well done to your firm for getting another big order.

 

Mollie I've been annoyed by Wolfie on today's BB, so I can see why you voted for her.

And she's up for eviction this week as well.

 

I like messing around with new and different operating systems Mollie. Windows 8 has a few improvements over 7, but I understand you not liking these things changing.

Windows 7 will be around for many years yet anyway, and I'm leaving it on the PC that I use for my business files etc.

 

The drive cable on my mower broke but I've bodged it up with some wire and parts from a 13amp plug, believe it or not.

Probably won't hold for long though.

emptybox

Evening  Emptybox.

 

My neighbour will be able to have any fruit or veg that is ready/ripe.

I'll show my neighbour what is what.

It doesn't really need watering every day, depending on the weather of course.

 

I see the public vote was Dan, Wolfy & Dexter, so that was very good, and of course Gina is up as well.

Dexter was barred from nominating this week.

 

I think Wolfy is in big trouble this week then.

The betting has Wolfy & Jackie @ 25/1

Dexter @ 20/1

Dan @ 12/1

Gina @ 8/1

 

Thats bad news about your drive cable, you need multi stranded steel wire probably about 2mm, i suppose you took the screw terminal out of the 13a plug to screw onto the end of the wire to terminate it, only problem i think they are brass which is a bit soft.

You could carry some 5/15/30 amp connectors as they have 2 screws in them.

 

Mad a lovely sliced up rump beef stir fry with veg and rice, very tasty.

Hicky

Morning Hicky.

Raining again here at the moment. Not very heavy though, so I might get out later.

 

Yes you are right, it was the screw terminal that I screwed down on to the end of the cable. Don't know whether the screw will hold though? Trouble is there's now not much of the cable protruding from the fixing bit.

I could easily buy a new cable, but you have to more or less dismantle the mower to fit it..

It's broken before, and the fix lasted a while, so we'll see.

 

I see there's a twist with the nominations, in that the housemates will decide who to save out of the four, and the voting won't start till after that.

So I would guess the housemates will save Wolfie unfortunately.

 

Your stir-fry sounds good.

I didn't get in till 6.45pm, then I spent an hour fiddling with the mower, so I just had a ready meal curry last night. A king prawn makhani. Very tasty it was.

Had a nice brekkie, 2 sausages, bacon, 2 eggs and some fried mashed spud.

 

Fed all the plands, made 5 gallon of tomorite & seaweed up.

 

Just been for fish & chips & ice cream from a fantastic chippy in Parkgate.

The Parkgate Takeawy.

It's 5 down on the right on this link.

http://www.visitparkgate.co.uk/#/eat-drink/4552455138

 

Here's the ice cream place, quite famous as well.

http://www.nichollsicecream.co.uk/

 

I saw the nomination twist, so Wolfy may escape, damn & blast.

----------

The twist is - that the hms (who are not up) will be able to vote to save one of the nomd hms, meaning 3 will go forward to Friday night. Its the hms instead of the public who are voting to save this week (not that public voted to save but you know what i mean)! The nomd hms will be able to deliver a short appeal speech to the other hms tonight by the way. So who do you think will be saved? Obviously not Dexter with 10 noms or Gina with 5, Dan and Wolfie only got 2 each, so would seem to be between them, to close to call maybe Dan might just get it? Will be exciting to see tonight i should think - can't wait!

---------------

 

Hicky

Good evening all

 

Hicky

thanks for the food place links, I enjoy looking at places you visit. Glad you enjoyed it. You deserved the good food after all your hard work in the garden.

 

Emptybox

hope the rain stopped so you could press on with your garden work.

Hope your fix it job on the mower works ok.

 

That is a riduculous twist ,especially as I was looking forward to getting rid of Wolfie.    

Where did you hear about this twist?

I don't remember them mentioning it last night on the show.Sounds like C5  want to keep Wolfie if they pull a noms twist like this.

 

Today me and OH took doggie a walk on seafront. There was a few loose dogs tearing around on the grassed area, so I suggested OH took the dog onto the rocky beach as it was deserted.  So off they went, Doggie all excited to be on the beach, and I walked on the path above watching them. Then I noticed doggie wondering around on her extended lead, all excited, but no OH,..... then saw he was bending down strangely... looking at wildlife in rock pools I assumed?  As he stood up I saw blood pouring from his nose and he said "I think I have broken my nose, it has made a bad crunch sound when I fell on it".. Told him to pop to docs surgery down the road and doc said he needed to go straight to A and E, as he had bad headache. A and E checked for clots, but think it will be ok now with time, but told him to go back in 5 days if he is still headachy. The bruising is starting to come out now, it looks like someone has thumped him one.    But luckily his headache is not so bad now.
I wished I had never suggested he went on the beach now though.


off to watch the last in the series of the brilliantly funny "Call Centre" on BBC3, anyone else watch it?

then looking forward to BB again.


have a good evening all xxx



 

 

M

Evening Mollie.

 

Oh dear, thats awful, did he slip crossing some rocks with wet moss or seaweed on them?

Hope his headache soon goes, thats worrying, could be shock i suppose, but his brain must have had a nasty bump.

 

Got a phone call from the gardening place, they will send me another Blackberry plant now, send a new Raspberry plant in November and refund the 4 vines.

I'll be looking for more vines now, but may have to wait till winter.

 

Weather not so good today but it should pick up for the weekend.

Hicky

Hicky

yes OH said he slipped on a rock, and fell awkward onto a piece of rock sticking up, as he had the dog's lead in his other hand. I have made him sit quietly tonight as daughter told me he bent over to look at something and his nose bleed started again. But at least he says the headaches has eased now.

 

Glad to hear the gardening place have been so good about your order.   Shame you have to wait so long for the vines though.

Yes weather not too good here today either, but as you say good forecast for the weekend, which really pleases me as I am taking daughter to London. We are going to see Robbie Williams and Olly Muirs, and the Lion King.

 

enjoy BB all xxx

M

Evening.

I did get a bit of work in, but then the rain came on again.

My mower held up today at least.

 

Hope your OH is OK Mollie. He'll certainly have some impressive bruises. Just hope the headaches go.

 

It is a silly twist for nominations. Does seem they don't want Wolfie to go.

 

Hi Hicky. That fish & chips place looks good.

Good news about being sent more plants.

emptybox

  Emptybox

glad to hear the mower held up, long may it continue.

 

Well it was a good BB show tonight.

 

I wonder what the BB secret is they told us about at the end?

 

what a big head is that Wolfie, and Hazel seems to be rather arrogant lately too.

  at PC Dan questioning Wolfie. He has her sussed alright. I am sure she did say she spent ÂĢ50 on cigarettes, didn't she?

 

Goodnight both xx

 

 

M

Morning Everyone.

 

Hope Hubby is better Mollie, glad the headache has gone.

 

Your going to enjoy Olly Muirs he's doing very well.

 

I hope Dan gets saved tonight so Wolfy can go Friday.

 

I've ordered 4 more vines, 2 types from here.

2 of these: http://www.pomonafruits.co.uk/...uscat-bleu-pot-grown

And 2 of these: http://www.pomonafruits.co.uk/...ine-regent-pot-grown

 

Had a nice brekkie.

3 bacon, 2 sausages, 1 egg, 2 toast.

 

Glad you mower held up Emptybox.

 

 

Pretty quiet at work, weather supposed to pick up from Friday.

Better next week and hot the week after.

Although it says 28C for Thursday 11th.

Hicky

all

 

Hicky

I bet that breakfast kept you going well for awhile.

Glad you have managed to order some more vines already.

Yes indeed, it sounds like a great weather forecast.

 

Emptybox

hope the lawn mower is still holding good.

 

Now I won't be around until Sunday as I don't get back from London until late Saturday night, so just you two, be good well behaved boys in my absence.

 

And I am hoping when I get back, Wolfie will no longer be in the house.

Wonder if they will open the public votes tonight?

They still haven't told us why they haven't opened the public vote yet, but as we have been promised a "surprise" let's hope it is a good one. Some new HM's would be good.

Or do you think the public can't vote because the "surprise" is that Dan really is an actor, as that is what it said on the tennis ball? I was thinking he does seem a bit too intelligent to be a real HM.

Or maybe the actor is Wolfie, as she does seem to be so OTT and quick to cry and grizzle? Or Gina? Or Dexter, in fact all 4 of them are quite OTT.   But I do like Dexter and Gina as HM's.

Or maybe the "surprise" is nothing we could of imagined at all.

 

Have a good evening all.

See you Sunday. xxx

Wonder if Freddo has kept or given away the pup, it must be near the 8 week mark now.

M

Evening All.

 

Hi Mollie.

Have a good trip anyway.

 

It does look like some good weather is heading our way.

 

Not sure what the twist is now, exciting.

 

I think the twist involves the HM's anyway,

 

I've been looking at some PLC logic controllers at work, you can buy some pretty cheap but getting 24v dc solenoids that fit the 12mm tubing id hard, i need at least 12 outputs, 1 per valve, each valve would have to be installed in parallel with the existing taps so if the electronics failed i could revert to the original taps.

I could program the controller easy enough, would need it to have a real time clock built in of course.

Hicky

Hicky

Yes sounds like a real heatwave to come, my friend in France tells me it is sweltering there now, so looks like it is coming here next. You will be getting some good use out of your water system when it warms up.

 

what you said about work there is like a different language to me.

 

Roll on BB and the secret surprise.  

The Apprentice to me is rather boring now Alex and his funny ideas have finished.

 

I bought a red spotty bag on wheels to take to London and daughter got the green spotty one, but I have decided it is not big enough for me, because I need to take a few choice of dresses, and a jumper as Robbie concert is outdoors, so I have gone back to my older bigger pink bag now.

Oh well, I can save the red spotty bag for when I go away for one night stay.

M

Evening.

 

Rather muggy here today but dry at least. Got a lot done anyway.

 

Booked my van in for it's MoT on Tuesday. Just hope it doesn't need much done.

 

Great news if there's better weather on the way Hicky.

Yeah, I'm afraid you lost me as well with the PLC logic controllers.

 

Hi Mollie. Enjoy your trip to London. You are certainly packing a lot in, with 3 different acts.

I shouldn't think me and Hicky will bicker much?

 

I think the secret is just the nomination twist? Doubt if Wolfie will be going anywhere unfortunately.

 

The Apprentice was good. The Jordan fella was very lucky to stay IMO.

Last edited by emptybox

Well how useless are us three? .... none of us got the real secret right...

 

You both seemed sure that the HM's would vote to save, but thankfully they didn't...  (I had a dread they would save Wolfie).

and I guessed someone would be pronounced an actor and they weren't.

 

The surprise should be interesting, wonder who will go into the secret house?

I think the HM's are most likely to think it is a true eviction if Dex and Gina are "evicted", to go into the secret house, as the other HM's seem to think Wolfie is popular with the public.

Wonder why we only have a choice of the 2 couples though?  I think it would of been best to have free choice of the 4 HM's.

 

Goodnight both xxx

M

Hi Emptybox

we posted at same time.

 

So it was not your own guess about HM's nominating?

 

Not surprised this guess was wrong if you got it from Dig Spy, I think that posters on  there tend to be OTT and get carried away, so are likely to get things wrong. (I  never joined there).

It would be more accurate to guess yourself I reckon, as you and Hicky are clever clogs.

And if what you read on dig spy had not distracted you, I reckon you would of guessed about the secret house. It did cross my mind, but I thought it was quite early to introduce a secret house. Not complaining though, I did not fancy the HM;s deciding who to evict.

Could be very interesting.

 

Yes I too hope it is Dextra and Gina.

 

goodnight both xx

 

M

Hi Mollie.

It was presented as 'news' by somebody on Digitalspy, but it was obviously nonsense.

 

Believe it or not, I am coming round to liking Dexter and Gina a bit more.

I've gone off Dan for moping about after being nominated. And I've gone off Hazel for dropping Dan like a hot potato, after he'd been nominated.

 

Have a great time in the big smoke.

emptybox

Evening Mollie & Emptybox.

 

It's been nice here this afternoon, looks like 2 weeks of good weather.

 

Enjoy yourself the weekend Mollie, it should be fab.

 

Enjoyed the Apprentice, those lads are a waste of space.

 

Hope Dexter & Gina go in the secret house.

 

Still haven't found a PLC that will control my garden, i only need 12 of more outputs, preferably relay, i could have trouble finding 12mm solenoids though, and wouldn't want the control voltage to be over 24volt dc with it being outside.

 

Got Saltfish for brekkie, yummy.

 

Bought some more bird mesh for the fruit protection, i got the stiffer type used to protect fish ponds.

Still haven't found any insect netting, will have to get it online.

 

 

Hicky

Hi Hicky.

Oh the PLC thing is for your garden installation? I thought it was for your work.

Still none the wiser.

 

Lovely warm sunny day here. Long may it continue.

I'll have to work tomorrow, but I hope to see the Ladies Final at Wimbledon as well.

Great that Andy Murray got through to the final.

 

 

As long as I get a full day in on Monday, I should be OK if my van is off the road for a couple of days. Can't afford for it to be out of action for longer though.

 

Yes I think it will be Gina and Dexter in the secret house. Bet the others suss it quickly though?

 

Hope Mollie is having a great time in London.

emptybox

Evening Emptybox.

 

As you know, i used to write logic programs for PLC controllers, well i need a small cheap one with between 12 and 20 Outputs so i can control solenoids which are fitted in parallel with the 12 taps i have now controlling the garden watering, but because i can only have 1 tap on at a time then i would need the controller in order to turn on each of the 12 watering sections for say 5 minutes each.

 

Well chuffed for Andy Murray, wow, he has done so well so far.

 

I went to B&Q for a load of wood, i'm building some bird netting cages, i bought 10m x 2m of the pond netting which is great to keep birds out but i ran out, need another 10 metres now.

I need to be able to walk inside to pick the fruit.

 

Just watching Aisleyne at the mo, she's ok.

 

At least Mollie is getting some good weather.

 

Had a big Lasagne for tea, just had a tin of John West Sardines in Tomato sauce.

 

Have put another piece of saltfish in water for Sunday morning.

 

I might have to make some Rhubarb Jam as i have got loads of it ready, unless i ask my neighbour if she wants it.

I've got a recipe but O/H said she doesn't like Jam as it's too sweet.

I suppose it would be as it's 50% sugar.
