thought I was almost there !

I know the feeling.!!!!

good news about those dahlias, hope i will be able to keep mine till next year ~ they are still out.
i know what you mean by THAT tone of voice!! mine usually comes into the kitchen and says 'is there anything i can do' ~ this is estate agent type language ~ it really means ~ is the tea ready yet ~ and if not how long will it be???

So glad its not just me then,Cinders..Lol

This made me smile St, you are so right..and I usually say 'nothing,its all done' but he knows 'the look' that accompanies it !! Am I right in thinking you know what I mean ??

Good news on the Dahlia tubers ... I leave mine in the ground with a mulch of compost over the top ... one heavy frost saw the flowers fade and the leaves blacken overnight ! You must have the cleanest gardening hands now ... all that scrubbing up ! Worth it though to have cuddled Thomas ! : o ))

too right! he also adds about half an hour to the time that i say it will be ready!!!!???? cant think why??? surely not cos im on GoY again!!??

IThey were seeds from an old packet lurking in my seed box,freebies from a magazine..it definitely says mixed annuals..I can't believe how massive the tubers are in one season..from seeds. Hands are looking very ladylike tonight,Shirley...just wait till tomorrow,weather permitting Lol.

Oh no,St,it can't be that reason,surely not ???Lol.

well, maybe......????

Know the feeling St.:o).not only was I running around like a mad thing,I forgot to put put the pork chops in the oven to cook slowly for tea,..and was only reminded by the nurse,as this years flu jab,has various strains of Swine flu added to it!!!..now you know how my logic works..but a happy ending,as Russell went for fish and chips instead...Yummy,and no cooking.Lol.

Tell me about it, that very often happens to me when i wont to do something i very often have to leave of and keep going back.

Can just imagine you Sandra lol and I recognise that tone of voice, I hear it a lot when Im in the garden!! Im feeling much better today thank goodness, not used to feeling under the weather!

I have been cutting back and into the compost bin as each plant's leaves die off. This is quite handy as I only have to do a few each day. All my tender plants are indoors, but there are still a lot of leaves to come down from the trees. Collecting and bagging is serious hard work, even with my electric blower.

Its always the way,Clarice..but then,.we CAN multi task..Lol.
Glad you are feeling better today Carole, and hope you managed to get outside,as its been so lovely today.Got everything finished and planted up..Russell was up at Alison's...:o))...We went for a long walk this afternoon as it was so nice.
Linda,we have a large Sycamore across the road,and its a nightmare when the leaves fall.We have to collect them as most of the neighbours are elderly,and the younger ones never offer..i agree,its very hard work.

I forget everything....especially when I'm in the garden...that's partly why I love it!! Glad it's not only me!

I wish I could be in the garden all year round, apart from forgetting the time, I even forget to eat which is great as I lose a bit of weight, then spend all autumn and winter putting it back on again.lol. Just had a sudden thought, it must be lovely being a plant (having all that cossetting) - no forget that I`d probalbly be a weed and get sprayed with a horrible chemical.lol.
Just keep on being your madcap you Bloomer your blogs always cheer me up.

I think we all blank out when gardening,Karen,a great stress buster..till you hear 'that voice' that
brings you back to reality again..Lol..
Thanks stroller..its being so cheerful that keeps me going....who used to say that on the Radio ? or the Wireless,as i sometimes still call it.Lol.I am 'wireless'the second time round now,with the router for my laptop..:o))

Mum tells me it was the catchphrase of Mrs. Mop in the wartime radio show, 'It's that man again'. Way before my time.

She could be right..I wondered if it was a comedian called Al Read..but can't remember..

How about Tommy Handley ? Its that man again. ITMA.
Or have I got two mixed up here.

Looks like we have two contenders for the name of the programme....anymore answers? .

This usually happens to me when I have decided to totally revamp one side of the garden border, two of our daughters live minutes away and are always popping in with the children, in the end I just give up, scrub up, and go in and have a cuppa with them, and start again tomorrow!! hope you go it all finished in the end.

Thats more important than the gardening Dd,when the family come round..Yes,I did get everything done,that I had planned,so feel very satisfied...for now ! Lol.

clearing up myself in garden now as well as spriz says bit by bit , pik the leaves up and its as bad the nxt day . but as you say anything to be in the garden lol .... rain or shine . haha time .... wots that ... eat .. who needs to lol !!

Just arrived home after a short break Cristina,and the huge sycamore has shed lots of its leaves...I know what we will be doing for the next few weeks..as still thousands still to fall....hope it keeps fine,as they all fall on the road outside,and are quite dangerous for the older residents around here when its slippy..guess who are the youngest pensioners to clear them ????.....

lol im still guessing ....... haha x
