Sorry to hear about your accident georgy, so easy to do. I do hope you didn't hit the deck to add to your pain.

I was going to say it's an opportunity to put your feet up but then I read a bit further on to see you're lying with one leg in the air so it seems an unfortunate choice of words Hope you're feeling better soon, in the meantime enjoy being waited on.

I have very fond memories of lupins. When I was a child my tortoise Toby had a 'thing' for them. He would escape from his pen, hot foot it through two lots of picket fence by sliding through sideways as he was a big old boy and into the garden next door but one where he would proceed to strip every leaf off the plants.
My poor Dad used to have to go and retrieve him and replace our poor neighbours plants. If he was missing it was the first place we looked. His pen was like Fort Knox and he'd still escape.

Twinkle's very cute, she's either playing or sleeping - there's no in between. Once she's ready to play everyone is expected to join in. .
Christmas was heaven for her if not for the tree, every morning the baubles from the bottom branches would be scattered all over the floor. She'd lay underneath and juggle them with all four paws till they fell off then hare round the place with them till she lost them under furniture, then go back and get another.

As for Misty, she suffers in silence for the most part. Her favourite things are food and sleep. She's beginning to look a little bit porky, so we're trying slightly smaller portions at the moment. Every now and then Twinkle will get her to chase her round the house or garden, this usually ends up with a wrestling match on the door mat and fur flying.

Hope you enjoyed your drawing nyannie.

Hope you enjoyed that large glass of wine and get to have a lazy weekend.

I have not a clue what candy crush is - I'm guessing some kind of game.

Must go to bed, early start in morning as we didn't get to supermarket today.

oh Georgy I hope you get better soon, its dull not being able to do things properly. but at least you get to watch the cricket!!!

I spent yesterday visiting the garden centre and then trying to tidy up the garden, I was going to do more this morning, but its currently raining, and although I want to get on, rain isn't fun in the garden.

I love the story of the tortoise and the lupins....we had a rabbit that ate every sunflower I tried to plant, it took me years to work out why all the sunflowers I had tried to plant in the garden, or grow from seed, all disappeared. I tried, seeds, seedings and fully grown mini plants, but they all went, and then one day I saw casper munching away! I love sunflowers too.........

hope this rain stops soon!

Luckily no tortoises around here Lena - but slugs do love my plants. Afraid I zap them with slug pellets!!

We have a ginger cat that loves sunning itself on my back lawn - not too bothered as it doesn't leave any messages. Hopefully it deters the rodents.

My friend's cat is like your Misty. Her cat got so large it was put on a diet!! Remember it didn't look too pleased.

I loved my drawing!!!

Oh Georgy. Please please take it easy and let others wait on you.

Epsom salts and lavender oil help bruised muscles, but really the only thing is rest!

Take care and hope you are fighting fit soon again.

rest is always good!

So did anyone else see Poldark on sunday, they were right it did end on a cliffhanger, literally.

our injured dog is meant to be on a diet, but less exercise than usual, and lots of treats to cheer him up, mean its not been that successful yet! I now have a cone for him, the bandages have come off, but he is licking and worrying the edges. Stupid animal. But he absolutely hates the cone. He cant work out how to get through doors and just stands there looking upset. Then he starts to tremble, so I am having to try and stay with him, to avoid him wearing the cone, as much as possible!

I do love him dearly but he is hard work at times!!

but he is going to have to wear it when I go out to aqua aerobics!

Good morning, good morning, the sun is STILL shining and the sea is shimmering silver on the horizon.
I'm preparing myself though cos it looks like it's all change, absolutely typical, just in time for the bank holiday weekend.

Had a wonderful time at the theatre on Saturday evening, Ghost Train was both funny and 'jumpy', a great cast and an appreciative audience which always makes it more enjoyable. I'm always amazed at how such a simple set (all the action took place in 1925 in a Cornish station waiting room) is brought alive by clever lighting and special effects.....you could actually smell the steam train in the smoke.

Now we have a dilemna.....the summer season guide has arrived and they're doing a 'Murder in the Park' thriller season running from mid June for four weeks.
Question is can we afford the time and money four weekends in a row? We already have tickets for Mousetrap the week before. They're doing a very good deal, book all four plays for £16 each or three for £17.....but then I can't choose which one to drop as they all look good.

O/h has mentioned our anniversary (36th) next month, what would I like to do? There's this highly recommended steak house that's opened in the old pub near us which we keep saying we'll try, but then there's also another play we both like. Talk about spoiled for choice.

I can see you waiting patiently for the sun flowers every year and wondering why they're not growing. They're such cheerful plants aren't they, with their huge nodding smiley faces? What is it with animals....once they become fixated with something they seem impossible to deter? My son's partners tortoise is obsessed with tomato plants, the minute she puts him out for a run round the garden he's straight to the veggie patch.

Poor dog and his lampshade, they're not much fun. We found the cats staggered around like old drunks, poor Presley always ended up walking into the wall, he couldn't negotiate doors either. I wonder if it's something to do with the fact their eyes are on the side, it must restrict their vision?

I've come to the conclusion all animals are hard work, but you can't help but love them.

Enjoy your aqua aerobics, sounds like fun.

Well, I'd better get on...the towel wash has nearly finished and I've the bed to strip and then it's the ironing ......at least I cleaned the house yesterday and cleaned out the budgies.....with any luck I can have tomorrow off.

Have a good day everyone.

i'm up .........

the nerve is untrapped.....

but i feel like....... i have been kicked in the backside

Hubs used the opportunity of me not being able to get around to have my car looked at,
it was throwing out warning messages.
He has received the quote and now he needs to lie down
It should be ready in a couple of days, not such a bigger, i don,t feel like going to far.

Hope all are good just going to have a read back now

I,M A FOOL LENA
STUPID %*6@&* KERB

it was not bad being waited on......

Thanks Augusta
are you sure it was the rabbit, my sunflowers never grew....... and i had no rabbit

do you have proof , the rabbit might be innocent

Thanks `Nyannie
I've been trying to keep loose
lots of hot baths and a good rubbing here and there
but it still feels like i have been kicked

poor love ...... those cones are no fun ....... i wouldn't like one stuck on my head

you can alway put him back on the diet when he is feeling better, hope he gets better
soon xxx

the aqua aerobics sound fun, how is it going ....... can you see or feel any improvement,
i'd like to give that a try , as long as no one splashes..... i don,t like water in my eyes

I caught the rabbit eating the sunflower seedlings...so I am fairly certain it was him!!

Oops about the car!!!

I had a lovely day at work, and hard work again today......its funny how it can change so much!! I really must get my act together with my jewellery making.

I beached my car on the low brick wall trying to get it in the drive the other day, so mine is going to need to go to the bodyshop! Its so frustrating , we lowered the wall, to try and make it easier to get 2 cars side by side, but now its too low to see!!

And what has happened to the weather? I thought we were heading into sunny weather!

Aqua is perfect for me, its gentle but stretches everything, so yes my muscles feel much better, a lot fewer aches and pains. We have a really varied group as well, all ages and all sizes so I would recommend it to everyone...!!!

Everyone must be busy!

have a lovely bank holiday everyone, I think we are having a lazy one, the house and garden will benefit!

One end of the kitchen is finally finished!! now we only have 2 more sides to go!!

The dogs are ok, but I have a bad feeling I wont get insurance cover, the vets phoned, and left a message. The dalmations paw is getting better and he has stopped chewing the sides raw.

are there any good films out there at the moment?

Good morning, so we have a new little princess.
Didn't Kate look amazing, how does she do it? I thought little George handled his big moment very well, he's got the royal wave sorted. . The look on his little face was like 'Daddy, who are all these people?'
I just hope they're now left alone to enjoy their new addition to the family without intrusion from paps.

It was a relief to have some news that knocked the election off the screen for a bit - I'm officially all electioned out!!! There's what amounts to half a rain forest coming through my letterbox on a daily basis. I wouldn't mind so much if it was new information, but it's the same old stuff just rearranged with different pictures. One party surpassed themselves this week by sending four letters, one addressed to each of us (son is still registered here as he flits between two houses) and ANOTHER to the family - ALL IDENTICAL!!!! Enough already!!

Morning all

It has taken me 10 minutes to log-on!!!!!!! I have had my computer checked so think it is something with DS.

How is everyone? Glad to hear you are better georgy - but sympathize about the car. We have just had the cambelt replaced - £900!!! Not good, but it needs to be done.

I have used the Bank Holiday to catch up on the ironing mountain. Nothing much now in the laundry basket.

My seeds are all coming up - tried to save some money and grow seeds. Will use them to fill in the gaps in the garden.

O/H has finally gotten around to doing something about the ceiling - we now need to get a fungicide! Still, it is a trip out.

Went to see the Magna Carta Exhibition. Really recommend it - very very good.

Went to a hustings last week and two of the parties (G and U) were awful. I must say that our MP was very impressive. Glad when it is over.

A new princess - yeah! Hope they do include a reference to Diana in her name.

Must get going and water my seedlings - they are quite dry despite all the rain.

Take care everyone and hope it is easier to log in next time.

Glad to hear the dogs are better


Woman in Gold, Second Exotic Marigold Hotel and Far from Madding Crowd and a Little Chaos - all recommended.

Evening ...... Hope everyone had a lovely bank holiday

what a weekend
Delighted about our new little princess, was hoping she was going to be born on the first
same day as my sister.
It would of been nice as prince George was born on my birthday, keep it in the family and all that.
But she did have a wonderful day, we thought she might go into hiding due to it being her 50th

Little prince George is adorable..... so cute, the little wave ...... and his little blue shorts and long socks.

Watched the big boxing match, bit expensive considering we already pay for the whole sky package.

watched a lot of star wars today...... being its May the fourth ....... be with you day ..... that still makes me chuckle
i know its lame

my back is still a little sore....... well first thing in the morning, until i warm up a bit.
my car is fixed...... and driving like a dream.

going to read back and check in on you all
xxxx

well its sound like you caught him..... unlucky rabbit foot red handed

sorry about your car..... thats bad luck

think i shall look into this aqua , it might be helpful for my back, but i,m not a big joiner of group things really, but i need to try something.

Kate did look amazing...... little George just stole my heart ....... to cute

and i agree Lena....... i think i got the other half of the rain forest....... and the phone calls,
and the visits to the door
we have one party that sends nothing ........ they don,t bother here, but the rest have made up for it............

not long to go now..... good job really, getting buried in paper

Thanks Nyannie..

wonder why we are all having problems
sorry to hear about your car to...... what a pain

pleased about your seeds.......... i bet thats a huge saving

i,m all electioned out ...... we made up our minds ages ago, told them all who we would be voting for...... and they still haven,t left us alone

was pleased to see that they had included Diana in the name, but little George stole the
show for me

hope you're well xxx
