It's been a fabulous day here and would have been gardening if I didn't have 'the dizzies'..... but sitting out this afternoon I saw my Camellia has 3 red blooms! I was thrilled to skinny ribbons because it was a rememberance present given in 2006 and this is the very first time it's flowered. It's made my day! :O))

~~~~~~to everyone

Lovely to get a nice surprise like that Mau, hope you feel better soon though.

Daff, did you have a good day out with sis?

Off to bed now, so few people around that every thread I post on I seem to kill Lol!!!!

Good night Ann, hope you have fed the cat and wound the clock or vice versa. Daff is busy trying to get a holiday on another thread....lolol....

Sleep tight everyone.....and a big hug for Mau, hope you get better soon.

Ann, I had a lovely afternoon, and niece was with us as well, so I was well looked after, lolol...

Mau, how lovely.... one of mine has just bloomed properly for the first time too... inspite of one of the cats using the surrounding area as a loo all winter, lol

BC, I might have succeeded too... but I have altered the oine word a bit, lol Mwah.... very cathartic typing it and pressing submit though, lol

I think I might go to bed myself, now, though!!

Daff xxxxx

Ahhhh!!

*feels self*

Yep, I am here, lolol

Morning Maz, and anyone else lookig in..... beautiful day here, and it would seem that it is going to stay like it over the next couple of days.... so lots to do in the garden!!

I have some strawberry seeds to plant up... and the tomato plants are now ready to be planted on, so I need to sort out the hanging baskets ready, as that is where they are going... I shall keep them in here though, until it is a bit warmer outside at night.

And I have the first of my bokashi compost ready to use....... how odd to be excited about fermented food, lolol ;¬))

I do hope everyone has a lovely day today

Love

Morning all, another bad night sleep so going back to bed now as l feel so lethargic., Ed is going to watch a film so that will occupy him for a couple of hours !!!!!!!!!!!!
Will be going out later as the sun is shining and its a pity to waste it.
Have a good day everyone. x

Good morning, sorry you had a bad night Mummo, hope the sleep does you good, I felt like that all day yesterday and still feel a bit grumpy today so hope there are no contentious threads on here. I blame the shingles but it could just be me being a moody c**.
Just been round for the papers and visited the church boot sale on the way, bought two books to take away and a little pink 'sock (10p) for my mobile. Then went to the garden centre for coffee and bought a couple of herbs and T bought three tumbler plants that are better and further on than the ones he is growing which were late in because of Spain.

Now I have going to hack at a bush out in the front garden.

Hello Daff and Everybody, sun shining again,aren't we spoilt! :O)

Hope you get rid of shingles soon Ann,I've not had them,but my sister has and she says they're extrememly painful,how's the arm?

Do hope you sleep well tonight Mummo,it's horrible when it saps your energy,hope also your Eddie enjoyed his film.There's been some good ones on tv recently.

~~~~~~to all and a big hug to Daff and BC

Actually Mau, the arm is not very painful now, just a few twinges at the end of the day. The couple of spots on my back are a bit sore but better today than they have been, just a general irritability which I assume is because of the virus.

Strange as since I have had it I have heard of two cases of chickenpox so it is the season for that, although I am well aware that that fact doesn't give a reason for the shingles. I thought you were prone when stressed but I wasn't, had just had a weeks holiday

morning all its very frosty here at the moment I had a lovely day over at the coast yesterday we went to saltburn .
my son is due back later on He is doing a seamanship course to skipper a boat at boys camps in the summer he has been a leader for scripture Union activity holidays for a few years now .and as he matures is getting more and more responsibility .with them
well i am focussing on work tuesday so am getting my actogether want to clean my oven today and have to hoover up after the stair carpet being fitted yesterday .take care and have a lovely days

Morning Maz and Daff and all:) First of all if someone could tell me how to clean my oven without using those toxic chemicals! I am sure there is a little secret that all domestic goddesses know...lol...

Beauttiful day here, had a very happy day planting my patio yesterday and found some lovely white and red poppies in the market.amd ñpad pf geranium to replace the dead ones. Everything else seems to have taken a spurt in this nice weather!

Then, as I was aching so much, I decided to have a bath instead of a shower. And could I get out? Ages it took me. Then I remembered a short story I had written where she turns herself round in the bath and gets out that way..pmsl...ah the joy of ageing:))

Off to the park now and then have to go up west for a few things...the place will be thronged...yuk...

Hope you all have a lovely, sunny day.....

BC XXX

hi there my only secret for cleaning ovens is biological soap powder in hot hot water and soak the shelves in .my late friend used BI-carb although I have never tried it, and really Daff has had more army ovens to clean than me she will be the expert .we used to dismantle them to clean the screws but really you cant beat elbowgrease really .i just spray it and do my best if it looks shiney it must be clean lol .
I was going to church but I have a dodgy tummy so am staying put .here

Evening all..... Maz, did you always have a couple of screws left over? lolol

BC... FLAT cola... has to be the real thing ;¬)).... dab it on and leave overnight.... it's a bit hit or miss for me... I used to end up with the toxic stuff in the end, lol.

These days, I would use bicarb... mix to a paste, and dab on, leave an hour or so, and then wash off..... but it takes a couple of goes.

Me? These days, I'd buy a new oven, lolol!! ;¬)) One of those ones where you turn it up full blast for 10 minutes and then rinse under the tap........ my SiL has one and I am GREEN!!

I have had a busy day in the garden... my finger nails are stinking.... and I am off for a long hot shower and bed, lolol

Love
