Further to yesterday's blog ......................... Mandi came up today and commiserated with my woes about my old tv giving up the ghost, and blanched somewhat when I told her she could have the other tv back - I think the idea of having to lift it

Well I gave up trying to get my new tv to work last night, got really upset because I couldn't get my satellite channels on my borrowed tv, my back ached from shopping and I was still miffed because of not being able to use my credit card to buy the tv in

look what I saw!!!!!!!!!!! Two strange people having a bonfire on my driveway!!!!!!!!!! LOL No seriously Peter & Ann decided that as it was a quiet day maybe they could give me a bonfire for 5th November!! They didn't bring any fireworks though,

Peter from next door rang up this afternoon, and said he and his friend Chris would be round to collect the old tv's and take them to the recycling plant for me! So half an hour later, they duly arrived and without too much huffing and puffing took the

I went out this morning to have a look at what has been done by Peter and Ann as I couldn't really see it last night. It looks amazing. The difference is so huge................ I can understand why they left that pot with the ornamental grasses in,

My volunteer gardener, Fred, came this morning after his 3 week holiday in Spain. He wasn't terribly brown, despite the fact that it was lovely and warm over there!!!! Anyway he came early this morning and proceeded to chop down my elder tree just

Had this sent to me in an e-mail and it's a definite "oh sh*t" moment. www.youtube.com/user/video20071966

I took these pictures last year when I put up my Christmas tree. I just loved the warm glow of the lights. As you can see Roxy, bless him, used to really like being by the tree.................. The glow went into the glass

Well as you may already know - my garden is just full of trees - in fact I'm surrounded by trees which is wonderful. Some of them blossom which is beautiful - creating colour in the air............. This is my gorgeous laburnham tree,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Oh well you asked for it.............. Since my illness I've changed quite a bit - it's called age and weight in other terms!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL So here are my contributions to today's theme............ This was taken when I was on holiday this year - I

I don't often take photos of insects so I really had to delve into the depths of my pictures!! Here are some of them.................. Now before smartie pants come on here and say - this isn't an insect .................I know it's a spider and not an

I've been trawling my photos and looked at them with different eyes and found these patterns......... The patterns on the cliffs made from the upheaval over time............... The ebbing tide made this lovely pattern on the harbour sand............

Just seen this - it's really quite funny........... youtu.be/h4E-uiaIxNc Simon is brilliant doing these quick animations - he must spend hours and hours watching his cats to know what they do. Hope you enjoy..............

Poor Pippin was so totally unaware of what was going to happen today when he woke up!!! There he was snoozing quietly on my bed, having a lovely dream. He came downstairs when he heard me put his food bowl down. He stretched and flexed his claws, then

Well I wasn't too keen to take a photo of my own veins for you, that's because they're virtually hidden under skin!!!! I have been fortunate in not having varicose veins, but I did have a blocked artery a couple of years back, and I had to have an

I know the UK is flooded in many places, but my daughter was coming for a visit today and I had no idea of the state of the roads. Had I known I'd have told her to stay home. A journey which normally takes about an hour and a half took her over two and

Not a terribly interesting theme, but I've done the best I can. These are various bulbs I've got around the house. Some of my lamps need screw in bulbs, some small candle bulbs - another one requires a reflection bulb and my other ones are fitted

These aren't so much implements as essentials to my kitchen............. My Halogen oven - what on earth would I do without this?????????? I cook nearly all my meals in this - from meat to sweet. I love it. It's perfect for me as I'm only cooking for

Pippin isn't usually hanging around me during the day - he's off out and about in the gardens, looking for mice or the occasional moggie who tries to get it's way into my kitchen to eat Pippin's food. But the weather has turned really cold and Pippin

This is a brilliant advert we've got over here in the UK, so I thought you'd like to see it. www.youtube.com/embed/auSo1MyWf8g?rel=0 <

I noticed that some of you don't know how a halogen oven works, so I thought about writing all about it, then I thought - it would be much better if I put on a link that explains it much better than I could ever do. youtu.be/bgHoXjPiwiI I am so so
