Good morning all. Up early to make sure of catching the bus but a bit too early really. I didn't want to go back to sleep. |

I hope it turns out to be an easy journey for you tomorrow AnnG and that you have a good chat with them. I'd forgotten we changed to our summer uniforms after easter. I remember we wore our summer dresses (red or green gingham) with our blazers, but if we wore our macs with our summer uniform we had to wear our hats as well. |

It is very strange that I actually like the smells you all dislike. I like the smell of honey, roast meat, hyacinths, linseed oil and live honeyed parsnips. I don’t always buy honey because of keeping sugar down but I like honey on bread or toast too. |

Oh I understand now Mel. There's a lot to do to keep a pond in good order isn't there. I can remember green water being a nuisance when I kept tropical fish. I seem to remember putting blue stuff in the water that cleared it which was ok to do with just a small fishtank. |

Goodness, AnnG, it doesn’t seem a year since you were saying that your step great-granddaughter had been born. Time does rush away when you’re older. Happy birthday to the little one. It sounds as though you have had plenty of exercise today with a walk and gardening. You will probably be gone by the time I come on here tomorrow but I’ll be thinking of you and hoping everything goes just as you would wish. |

Spent another half hour out there still attacking the ivy. I have got a lot down but there is still more to be cut back. I didn't want tp stay out there any longer as my back started to ache and I need to be reasonably fit for walking from bus to hospital tomorrow. A pity as it is a glorious day for gardening. I did do another job that Monty said needed doing. I have three strawberries in containers and he said I needed to tidy and feed them so I did that. :-) :-) |

No Ann it was a UV strip light he put in as there are two in the UV fitting and one had gone. I am getting a lot of green in the big pond as the blanket weed has started to grow with there being a bit of sun now. |

Been out in the garden since my last post and raked up all the sticks off the rosd from the big ash tree and potted up 7 strawberry pots and runners. Just come in for my pill. |

That would have been a pleasant walk in the sunshine seeing the spring bulbs and tree blossom everywhere AnnG. I'm adding a few bits to my family tree while lunch goes down and before my potter in the garden. |

Had to come in and rest and have some lunch. spent about 3/4 of an hour cutting the small lawn that is left and fighting a load of Ivy which is rooted behind the shed next door. He never does any gardening now (he is several years older than me) so I have to try and deal with it. It is tangled with the clematis and Monty told me to cut out the dead wood to let new shoots grow. hard to see whhich is which but I am giving it a go, it didn't flower last hear anyway. It is a very old one. |

I shold put some washing in but everytime I do it the clouds come over so I think I shall leave that and clear a bit more of the weeds at the base of the Clematis in the front and have a sweep up round the pond as I pulled up some weeds and left them on the slabs. |

BIL has been and fitted a new strip light in the filter shed as one of the green bulbs had gone that kills the green. |

11 degrees here now and sunny and I am just back from a walk to take stuff to Irene, I then went on round the park to the next estate and back via estate roads and the adjacent main road. I suppose it was about a mile. Had a coffee now off to potter in the garden. |

We have a Christmas Box shrub near the front door that has a nice scent early in the year, but now it's got bigger the perfume is overpowering. I find Hyacinths the same. I remember years ago, when we had a platform of railway sleepers up the garden with a wooden chairs and table combination on it, I planted some lovely, yellow achillea in the border behind. I've just asked OH what they smelled of, as I could only remember it wsn't nice and his answer was 'rotting meat!!' We also used to have a tall Iris with flowers that smelled of germolene. |

Good morning all 7 degrees, dry and patchy sun at the moment. Nothing planned for today (That seems to be the story of my life at the moment. Probably some tidying in the garden. and I do need to walk to the post box to post Easter cards. At one time they would be timed to arrive at Easter but these days can't rely on the post office to do that. |

Got back at lunch time and have had a banana sandwich and a jam doughnut with my pills and a glass of water.Mandy te cat cave is wonderful and I am sure it will be well used by the cat. Did you say you had made it for someone? I do hope your blood test shows something up that they can put right for you its so horrid when we don't feel right and worrying too. |
