Awww that will be lovely for you all Slim....I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you .Yes, I went for another 2k walk ....I was going to try another *circuit* ....but my legs started moaning . By the way , knowing how you like crafts and saving stuff , have you seen the new programme that is on bbc 2 at 6.30? Moonie and I checked  it out last night ....it was good....and I think right up your street .

2k is a fair walk Baz...well done you ....was wise to stop if your ankle was having a moan though

I watched a bit of the show you're talking of 'saved and remade'......loved the table light with the rotary blade...very cool
I like to watch 'the repair shop' sometimes.........it all depends on if I remember these shows are on.
Totally missed all the cookery ones last night cos was watching Merlin

Afternoon Baz ....was up till stupid o'clock, but feeling good
Took down our curtains + nets one by one this morning to wash....they're drying nicely outside...those curtain hooks can be really fiddly .......I've got blinds at home <<<< much easier to keep clean...besides, I don't like net curtains
Had to send my Dad over to sit in his friends garden to stop him from being a back seat driver..so to speak

Hope your day is going well

Happy midweek Wednesday All

He is a nightmare! ...used to try to give instruction as I was cooking when I first came to stay here.....until I told him to clear off out the bloody kitchen!! ...in a passive assertive kind of way of course

AwwwHow old is he Slim ?

He's 87....
I guess because he looked after my Mum for 30+ years after she had her stroke, that he thinks he knows best....gentle reminders that ''I am all grown up now with a family of my own Dad'' tend to do the trick ...till the next time

Afternoon Baz
It's a lovely sunny day here so am making the most of it...took a walk in the opposite direction to my normal route alongside the river as the quay is heaving with people....like flies to poop they are when it's not a work day

How's your day going?

I tend to avoid the weekends for my walk for that reason ....especially if it’s sunny . I never went for a walk today but spent the time planting some summer flowering bulbs in the garden ....so I got more than my fair share of exercise .I’ve got about another 60 to plant tomorrow .

Make sure they'll be frost free...you have sleet coming on Monday remember
Nice to have colour in the garden though ....can't wait to be able to get back into mine...Dad has paving with just hedging around.... ....easy for him to manage.
When I visit my mother in laws (just turned 93 years old) in Buckinghamshire I tend to spend most of my time in her garden...it is enormous and full of mature planting & trees...an absolute delight in the summer months...hard work though

Yes, I know .... my gardening tends to be the bung things in and they then have two chances ...grow or not . But they are all for planting in either March or early April , so....... Awwww lovely that you can help out in your mil garden .Ours is a corner plot , so reasonably sized ....but when Mr B was first diagnosed ....in anticipation of what was coming .....we decided to get a gardener in to mow lawns , and do some of the heavy weeding . He’s been a godsend ....he even goes and gets (and plants up ) my bedding plants .....so I get to do all the pottering bits .
