Maybe you need to leave instructions Huia lol

I am sad to say our little bird, Scooter, has disappeared. She/he hasn't been around since the morning after I wrote about her, don't know if a cat got her or the other blackbirds scared her off so she moved on, she could have hopped down through the hedge at the end of the garden and gone into the field beyond, there is lots of cover but no one putting food down for her. I feel so disappointed, I had hoped to help her stay alive till her feathers grew back or get her to the sanctuaru so she could stay there in safety. She wasn't ill, she was perky to the last time we saw her - I hope if she isn't still alive somewhere, her end was quick and as painfree as possible.

Last evening (well early hours this morning) I opened the patio doors for some air, and heard hedgehugs grunting, I put on the light and could see two of them facing each other, with first one backing away and then the other, no violence, so maybe a mating ritual. I tried to do a mini video on my camera but there wasn't enough light. I did get a couple of photos tho, and they didn't move away as I was taking pics or watching them as they usually do, must have been to preoccupied and loved up! Hope it means there will be baby hedgehogs later in the year for me to feed and watch.

Hi girls, just popping in to say hello. Blimey it has been warm today much too hot to want to move. I haven't been on for a couple of days as I haven't been well, lot of sickness and kidneys aching, and of course the heat doesn't help. I went for my head scan the other day and went for result yesterday, alls well and doctor is pleased that things are not getting worse, good news.
Hi Liz, I haven't seen you for a while, are you ok? Now we are up here I miss our hedgehogs, we had two that trundled down the drive and round into the garden every night.
I'm late tonight so I will make a cuppa and go to bed, didn't get any sleep last night with the heat, most likely be the same tonight.

Love Caz xx

Hi there girls,
Lorraine, we lost last night, boo hoo. It was our finishing that let us down, so we lost 6-5.
What are you growing in your Poly Tunnels ? I am wondering if it's strawberries, ooooh yummy.
We have had Strawberries twice this week, but I can't wait for our Kent local strawberries to ripen up, now they are really lovely, and soo tasty.

Caz, sorry to hear you have been poorly again, but it's great news that your head scan went well.
You have had a lot of problems with your kidneys lately, haven't you love.
Have you had your air conditioner on lately. I know how hot it gets in your flat, and I don't envy you, at least I can get out in the garden for a bit of fresh air.
You would have laughed today.... I was sat in the garden, with the sun parasol up out of the direct sunlight.
Later in the afternoon, I went back outside with the intention of reading my book for a while.
Aaahm wheres my parasol gone, " Roly, have you put my parasol away in the shed ", no he says.
So wheres the darn thing gone then, it's nowhere in the garden.
Not realising that a breeze had got up, I found my parasol in next doors back garden, oops sorry my darlin, it's not your fault after all, I felt such a fool.
The bloomin thing was fitted through the garden table, so how it had flown over the fence like like I shall never know. Perhaps we had fairies visiting and I didn't know about it. lol :-S

Marie, hows you been my lickle friend. It's so good to hear from you, and catch up on all the news from down-under.
I hope you had a good time at Sean's. Is this your son, or your grandson?
How many people have you got in your family tree now? It seems to be branching out everywhere.
I suppose it's just as well mine is not very big, as I am not brilliant at pruning trees etc.

Huia, were you affected by the earth quakes. It's just as well Marie told us about them, as it was not on our news, or if it was, I missed it.
Have you found any more visitors hanging around the place.

I see that Ann is back from her holiday, perhaps she will pop in later to see us.
Lucky girl has come back from the sunshine, to sunshine here in this country. Now that is luck isn't it.

I wonder how Sylvia is getting on, as we have not heard from her in a while.

Special ((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) for our Jean, if and when she looks in. I just want her to know that I am thinking of her.

Lets hope that Joyce is o.k as she is another one missing lately. ((((hugs ))))

Sallie, you are in my thoughts babe. Hope the black dog leaves you alone for the weekend, and that you and Alun have an enjoyable one.

Has anyone got plans for the weekend of the Queens Jubilee. We had a street party back in 1977, for her Silver Jubilee, but have nothing planned this time around.

Going now girls, take care, love to you all, Mo xxx

Sorry girls, been so busy, managed to pop into a few threads but kept getting side tracked. Didn't add a lot while away as every time I wanted to post anything it took ages to add.

Sorry you haven't been well Caz, hope you feel better agin soon. Not read back on the thread but picked that up from Mo.

Hallo Marie, good to catch up with your news.

I hadn't seen about any earthquakes, hope all are OK there.

Sallie, I hope that you can beat that black dog off again soon.

Well bed I think, very tired today as it was gone 1am before we got to bed last night.

Mo, the earthquakes were near Christchurch, and I am a long way from there, up near Auckland. There were some smaller earthquakes in the southern part of the North Island a little while back but I didnt feel them either.

There is a rat dangling in the trap downstairs, I must go and remove it before it starts to liquify and drip all over the floor. Ugg.

Ugh, quick Huia, get that dreaded rat out darn fast mate. Did you see that I found you on F.B ?

Christchurch get lots of earth tremors don't they. I certainly wouldn't like to live there. I know it looks lovely, but being a coward I would be forever afraid a quake was going to happen.

Hi Ann, glad you got home safe and sound. Have a good nights sleep love.

Night Night god bless. Love Mo xxx

Huia Report 26 May 2012 02:34

No Mo, I didnt see you had found me on FB. I dont look in there very often.

I got rid of the rat but noticed a flea jump off it. I hope it didnt jump onto me. I think I will have to get a flea bomb for setting off in the basement. The trouble is I will have to keep the cat out of there for several hours.

Christchurch had a very small earthquake when we were down there about 30 yrs ago. Nothing like the ones they are having these days though.

Mo in Kent Report 26 May 2012 20:50

Oooh Lorraine your garden sounds fantastic. So full of fruits, grown all by your own fair hands, and making jams from them would be great.
Still no sign of the seeds that I planted in their little trays, I reckon they are going to end up growing at the other side of the world, so keep your eyes open Huia, Sylvia and Marie, if they start to sprout in your gardens, please return to sender, moi lol.
I like having my patio set out in the back garden, it's a proper sun trap out there, and sooo quiet and relaxing, you would enjoy it Lorraine.
Bless your daughter, looking after her lickle brother like that. Remember he is a man, and would be likely to forget something, so daughter was very considerate towards him. After all he doesn't need bad breath doing that half marathon, surrounded by loads of lovely people. lol
Good luck for tomorrow at the stall.
Night Night god bless, Mo xxx

Mo, I think I found your name on FB at last, with the pic you described, so I sent a Friend request. Hopefully that will open our pages up to each other. I did try to look at yours but it was not very forthcoming, so presumably the same security.

Yesterday I had another rat dangling from the trap. This one was caught by both front feet. I think I will have to ask the chemist if I can have some ether or chloroform to knock them out so I can knock them out good and proper. They jiggle and swing so much when the trap is dangling, it makes it hard to finish them off.
