Morning all 

OMG Starry that evil woman! If I were her boss I'd have sacked her not suspended her. What an evil nasty thoughtless thing to say.  Well done on cutting  your fringe, to be honest cutting hair isn't that hard once you try it, and practice makes perfect. 

We have wall to wall sunshine here, I've been up since 6, cleaned out the pigeon's crate and disinfected it and folded it up, watered all the containers and tomatoes/cucumber plants, washed the wet room floor and cleaned it out ready for the plumber, cleared under the sink so he can turn the water off. Washed my hair, and now sat taking it easy for 5 mins before I start again.

I had to ring Sanctuary last night I couldn't stand the water running from the cistern into the bowl it was like Niagra Falls, it had kept me awake the night before, they only come out for emergencies now and if its not an emergency they charge you £200. So I exaggerated what was wrong and the plumber is coming sometime today. I'll have a word with him, the workmen are usually pretty good. Its a push button toilet and this is about the 4th time it's gone wrong. They're useless, the old chains were much more reliable. I had a look myself yesterday but it hasn't got a normal ball cock, its all sealed and got little thin pipes and tubes going everywhere. Another useless modern invention.  

Enjoy your day ladies and enjoy the sunshine, I think it's going to change yet again after the w/end if not before. 

NOTE: Well the plumbers put a complete new gubbins in the cistern and it's working perfectly and the hospital has phone to give me my date for the abdominal ultrasound (I cancelled it in March cos of the virus). So I have to go now on friday 21st August at 2.50pm. Hopefully they'll find out whats causing all my problems. Or some of them lol

Good afternoon both.

Was a nice morning and i went around and watered the tomatoes and other veggies before Larry started his shift midday, the sun was really hot on my back. Then at 12.30 the heavens opened to torrential rain, so I switched Larry off and he's back in his shelter now. He can mow in the rain but he gets very messy underneath. I've had dozens of mini muncher cucumbers, they're fat and about 4" long, so I'm going to try pickling them. I just need some jars lol 

Oh dear Carol, poor Gordon, there's nothing worse than missing the toilet and having all that mess and smell, I had that when my brother stayed with me just before he went to the nursing home. It's not nice. I didn't think  you were going to the caravan this year Carol? 

What a lovely surprise for Pippa, Starry. I bet Freddie will look cute in his little life jacket. They make them for dogs too. Several of my friends have them for their dogs when they're out on their boats or near the water. 

I've got the date for my ultrasound again, 21st August at 2.50pm so I won't cancel this one. I'm a bit apprehensive incase it shows something nasty, but best to get sorted now rather than wait. 

I hope Diane is ok, not seen her for a few days. I expect she's busy. 

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Yes it wasn't very pleasant, I thinl it was more the smell of the dettol air freshener that I objected too. The carpet has been shampooed and everything smells fresh and it's been cleaned. I've just got to do one small area That Gordon didn't need to clean. It will take about 5 minutes.
We're going down to the van for just for a few days as and when.  I've more to less made the decision to give it up It's getting too expensive and the site has changed it's full of newcomers who are not friendly. All our friends have left the site now except two and they don't come down very often, they prefer to come down in the winter when the site is empty and the village is quiet. Good luck with your ultra sound  Hazel.
 

Good morning everyone.

It is very foggy outside but I can see beams of sun pushing through.

I've got my food deliveries and some other deliveries too I think. I'm trying a new greengrocer so will be interested to see how much they are and what the quality is like.

I'm also thinking of doing our hair cuts too . I was toying with trying to get in at the hairdressers too ????  Decisions decisions. Think I've made            it - I've got the clippers out 

Good morning everyone.

Its a lovely day here today.

Think it might be a chill in the garden day today
