Busy in the garden

Very good gets the job done

well i am disappointed i expected to see you in mid dance or some such :o)
good idea and as you say much easier than holding the trigger.

Seaburngirl, You REALLY don't want to see me dancing, now that would make it rain, well everyone tears of laughter would be raining down....LOL

Great Invention Ian looks like My Shower in Bathroom lol :)

That's good Ian. You could stand under it on a hot day :o)

A Shower in the Garden sounds Super Hywel :)

I would like to stand underneath your rain machine with my dogs and my budgie. We would all enjoy the shower :o)
Well done Ian.....Lol.

TT, Hywell, Jaque and everyone else your all welcome to come and stand under my outdoor shower any time you like,

You do understand it rains upside down here on planet digs?

H & K's to all............Ian

PS. I'll even 'invent' a smaller version for the smaller members of our respective families, dog sized and budgie friendly showers coming up......LOL

I tried something similar a few years ago Ian but Malik wouldn,t leave it alone, it was good fun for a while though,well done you.....

I can well imagine what Duke would have done with it, Lincslass

Thanks V. much

great idea Ian u shud start putting flyers out in neighbourhood never no ur luck Lol will have to try that my self but dont worry its deff "Ians invention":~))

Dont worry about the patent Mobee, all GoYers are welcome to steal it LOL

Ian, i too was expecting to read on and see a pic of you with a feathered headress doing a raindance !!!!!!

Great invention by the way :)

Also .... Mrs. Ds Pieris plant needs to be planted in a certain type of soil/compost.
It won't really thrive unless it's in Ericaceous soil/compost, this is different to the usual type and is used for these 'acid loving' plants ..... just a thought, didn't mean to sound bumptious !

Fantastic Ian! I tried something similar a few weeks ago and temporarily fixed the hose to one corner of my whirly washing line. It worked beautifully and I continued weeding while the "robot" watered the nearby flower bed. Then the wind blew ..........! Round it went and I got a nasty wet surprise and had to go and change my trousers! Your idea is mnuch better!

Your Mini Shower would be perfect 4 My Summer Ian :D she loves water sprayed on her :)

Thanks Ian wondered where the rain as come from this morning, it must have a good spray as its watering my garden today & filling my water butts up,could do with it for another hour up here if you dont mind leaving it on.

Louise you could never be bumptious, Thanks to a PM from Terratoonie I now know what Ericaceous means. When I said I had no idea about growing flowers I meant NO idea.
If it wasn't for the kind comments from all the GoY's that plant would be dead in a while and I would be filling up the questions section.

Oh dear, Nariz another funny thought has just entered my head. You wasn't R send up at the time were you?
Oh you were weren't you, tell me you were.....Mrs. D. thinks I'm having another 'turn' ....can't.... stop .....laughing....can't ...breath...OMG

(10 mins later)
Sorry Nariz, you know what I'm like with my mental imagery

Jacque you and your lovely Summer are welcome to use my rain machine any time you like.

Thanks for the lovely comments. H & K's.........Ian

Hello Clarice... please send my garden some of that rain...:o)

Hi Ian ~
As you know, we were exchanging 'ericaceous' p. messages late last night, so I've been back to read them to make sure I made sense and gave you the right advice.... my brain frequently switches off about 8 pm... Lol...
and, surprisingly, yes, all the info. I sent you will help with the Pieris..... and ericaceous is the right compost for other acid loving plants such as rhododendrons and azaleas.

Good luck with your Pieris. Now that you have all the info. I hope you'll treat us to a new photo. Probably best to plant it in a pot on its own... Put some pretty pebbles over the soil at the top of the pot to help retain moisture...

Thanks TT We're off to the Garden Centre on Wednesday, do you think it will survive till then or should I be more worried ?

Other GoYers Please note, ALL help is taken at face value and no one will be upset or put out at you for offering your knowledge/experience.
I do want to try flowers but I will be learning from the begining, so nice easy small words spoken softly and slowly will be much apreciated.

Thanks again all H & K's...........Ian & Mrs. Digs (surprisingly)

Lol ... small words coming up...

yes .. it will be okay....keep the pieris in shade for now, and keep the soil damp with rain water till Weds...

Hello Mrs Digs, too :o)

LOL..........What a great idea Ian.........you could stand underneath it when you get to hot.... in the heatwave we are meant to be having........ watering does take a while doesnt it..... i suffer with lung and muscle problems... so sometimes find it hard...... especially as i have so many pots to water......

Cheers TT LOL

Hi Holly, are you not having this heatwave then, we're all stripped down to the essentials and huffing and puffing like old steam trains here. LOL

My joint probs. make it essential to find short cuts and labour saving devices too. I'll try to show you some more one day, but don't hold your breath for them, ask TT she knows lol.

its certainly hot here today Ian....... but living a few mins walk from the beach we always get a nice cool breeze when the tide changes.......

Of course I was Ian! The weeds are at ground level! Now stop laughing, you'll hurt yourself!

Ooooo lucky you, I could just manage a quick dip right now, It was over thirty in my garden yesterday and didn't drop much below twenty last night. I think its even hotter today but I'm not moving from in front of this fan to find out.....LOL

oh no he ...I....go....again

Well, fantastic! Why didn't I think of that? I've just been doing a lot of dancing. It worked last Freiday. (Tipped Down)

Now iv visions of Paul & U Ian rain dancing 4 rest of week lol U best have some weetabix cos your legs are going to ache Loads cos this Hot Spells ment 2 last all wk :D

Funny that Paul, last time I did any dancing was on a Friday........ About twenty years ago LOL
Have you given up work for the day? to hot?
No I'm not phsycic I just read your comment on someone else's blog HeHe.

Oh no Jacque, don't say things like that I've just stopped laughing from Nariz's comments

HHHHHHMmmmmmmmm well u best not start laughing again cos u 2 are going to be very busy dancing 4 the UK :) lol

NOOooooooooooo My sides hurt.
I'm going for a fag and I'm not coming back until they stop aching

Well I went for a fag but I've been eating peas straight from the pod instead...........They're yummie

Yes, Ian too hot and too tired. I've not been feeling too well recently and I'm just exhausted all the time. So I went to see the doc tonight for first time in 3 years or more and he's sending me for blood tests. Probably show up LAZYITIS !!

Well I hope thats all it is, that, the hot weather and hard work.

Hope your Blood Tests comes back OK Paul & ur feeling better very soon X
