instant summerhouse!

Lol nice wee hideaway :-))

Love the proper gardeners hat xxx

Hi Fran, yes you have the look now, thats the position I find myself in when deciding whether to change something, heres hoping you need that hat a lot of days, aren't you clever with the camera, I still cannot find the timer on mine........

Lol, I love the pose. Love the hat too!

You have sucha flair for this sort of thing Fran! Brilliant. (Where's the blue hair?)

thanks, Helens, shame it's not waterproof - but then, if it were I'd hardly have put it in the ashing machine!

Thanks Pam - I do like that hat, straw weave, so it lets your head breathe and wire in the brim, so you can bend it into any position. Wish I could remember where I got it, I'd get a few more! but he ones i've seen have been too loose-fitting (this one is slightly elastic, so I can jam it on and know the first breeze won't take it of) and no adjustable brim.

Actually, Lincs, I was just hoping that I'd stood the camera up stably ewnough that it wouldn't fall over - and hoping I'd hear the timer countdown so I wouldn't sit there for ten minutes just in case! But I think that is the classic gardener's "thinker" pose, even if arrived at by acciddent.

I knew the timer was there somewhere, and tried about ten times to find it before I succeeded; it was on a submenu of a submenu, so not easy to find with one click. lol bet I can't find it the next time I want to use it ...

thanks, Waddy. lol all I need is to be chewing a straw!

Thanks, Stera. I need to get the hair redone, or re-redone - got it redone before I moved, but he made it a washed out "granny blue rinse". Got to find a new shop up here - there are plenty, it's just finding one that suits my hair and my pocket!

ps lol what a difference a few days makes. As you can see, there i'm wearing a sweatshirt and thick body warmer. I was out today, and even the jumper was too much - manged to find a sleeveless shirt and was sweating even in that. Of course, what I was doing might have had somethin to do with that ... temp's up to 16 indoors, which for March is amazing. Just wonder when we're going to have to pay for it, and how much

Hello Fran, nice to meet you!

Well Fran they do say that necessity is the mother of invention.lol.

That's cute Fran! :)

Hi, Kat! lol speaking of cats, Gandalf paid another visit today, and made a determined effort to get inside - I had to fend it off with a plastic tray, and only just managed to "head him off at the pass"!

lol Stroller, would have been a bit less successful with the next wash, trousers hanging down! I'd wanted to put some kind of porch up, cos the wind really does whistle round that corner, but think I'd need something a tad more substantiial than this.

Thanks karen - think I might leave the aier up and put some plastic over it when not in use - only prob is I'd get wet reaching my waterproof shelter!

oooh, arr!!!!

I think, you should prepare something similar (summerhouse) also for Gandalf, Fran :-)

lol Kat, I did, a bit, during stormy weather - I left a large-ish garden plastic basket on its side for a rain sehlter,under the garden becnch outside the back door for added cover didn't notice Gandalf using it, but I left it there cos I'd noticed it strolling that way afer it'd had all the milk.

Had a surprise visit from Bagheera while i was in my "summerhouse" (all-black cat that seems to come from the garden at the back coerner, or at least it usualy comes from that direction, alon g my "mystery path"). I got up to close the garden shed door and Bagheera was just coming up th epath. we were both surprised! then it retrated. I left s ome milk for it by the end of the path, but not sure it noticed.

Bagheera and Gandalf hae met up, at least once; heard purring and other cat noises by the "path" then they turned and each went their way. Maybe I should rename them Romeo and Juliet. (Or Romeo and Romeo, or Juliet and Juliet!)
