Winter project #2

an excellent days work again. where do you get your energy from.... mind the cuupa must help alot.

WOW I want one!
mind you I also want another greenhouse so cant have both hehe
another grand job you done there Ian, supervisors kept you at it which is great so no slacking hehe
Your lil Holly is always smiling bless her heart
x x x

REally cracking on. BH must be putting an extra something in the cuppas

Hi SBG, How are you? I think the energy is all down to Carols Coffee!
Now Jen, you can't have both and you do realize that you will have to have the bottoms of your legs amputated just to get in to it?
Pip, Carol doesn't have to put anything extra in those coffee's, they can stand a spoon upright ! ! !

Either that greenhouse is a bit low or you've got one hell of a moustache :-)

Well done Digger! Its up at last! You like to dig sitting down, so the height shouldnt be a problem!!

Oh! That all tied in for once!! Wonders will never cease!

lacking in energy ian, send me some of carols coffee asap!!!

Victoria is 12 today and i have been up since 5am. she was so excited. been out to a nice restaurant for tea and have nicely got settled with the lap top.
her party tomorrow, 10pin bowling. then i have the washing etc to do ready before i go to the yorkshire dales on an ecology field week. really looking forward to seeing the same area in the autumn . was there in the spring too.
no gardening for mw this weekend :o(

Andrew, the greenhouse is vertically challanged, I'm going to have to dig down along the middle and put sides in to raise the beds.
Hatter, I do have to stand up some times! Lol

SBG, Carols coffee is 'seemples' just make your usual brew but replace the tea spoon with a shovel and your there!

Sorry pressed submit to early that time? I usually forget and have to write the comment out again!
Say happy birthday to Victoria from Carol and I and we hope her party is a roaring success.
That Ecology week sounds a lot of fun?

Looking good, Ian! :-))

Thanks Spritz. :~))

All that work and I only counted 1 coffee Ian what was in it?

i'll let you know when i get back. hope it is sunny.

great job ian and well done, bet you have that full in no time :o)

Hi Drc, that, I'm afraid, is a closely guarded secret! Lol
SBG, Me too. :~)))

Ian you are so clever It all looks great

Awww Thanks Donnah, I'm blushing now! :~))))))))))

Well done Ian, my son has one of them on his allotment, you `ll be gardening in all weathers now, have you decided yet as to what you`re growing , oh and out of curiosity where is your compost heap going to be now, thats assuming you still have room for one.............

Hi LL, I'm determind to have some tomatoes (as I have had blight for the last two years!) and yes I have somewhere to put a smaller compost heap on the other side of the garden! (away from the patio!)

Job well done mate. You've been rather busy of late....

You done the job well Ian love the pittza bit he he was there a surprise for you in your wifes pockets, like a couple of fags missing with the drink he he.

Nice work, Digger! That tunnel's going to be just the right size for Holly...bet she'll love it in there!
Maybe you could market Carol's coffee as a new brand of rocket fuel?
Looking forward to seeing everything in the polytunnel...you included!
;-)
xxx

great job Ian now you're all set for the next season :))

It looks great Ian. It looked easy to put up...when I get one for the lottie you can come and put it up for me...and do a bit of digging too...it will save you coming back twice...ha.ha. :))))
Tell Holly I love her sunglasses...

Cheers Dan, Have you seen my list?

No suprises Morgana, she kept her hands in her pocket!

Thanks B. (Notice the correct spelling of your name!) Holly and I will be able to garden together, with me on my knees!

Grindle, this has been hiding in my shed since the begining of the summer so I'm so pleased to finaly have it up. :~))

Hi Lou, Holly says :~)))))))))) and I would be more than happy to come and help you put one up. :~))

Well you're used to gardening on your knees Ian, after all it is the correct place for a man! Was it meant to be taller than that then? Anyway, another job and blog crossed off your list - you put us all to shame. Well done it will be a great asset to your garden, somewhere for Carol to sit and watch you toil! lol :o))

When is the tunnel-warming party ?
Do we bring our own coffee ?
Who volunteers to bring along the cakes ?

i will forgive you ian for ignoring me lol , i still think you did a good job :o))

Ooooooooo San I'm soooooooo sorry, how did that happen? Thank you (blush) :~))))

Lily, have I done something to upset you recently? "On my knees? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Lol. I'm only doing it now because I haven't bothered for the last four years!

TT you welcome around any time you like and you can risk Carols coffee if you want to, but do you really want to be awake for three or four days? ? ? Holly makes fantastic fairy cakes and her chocolate crispy cakes are MINE ! ! ! ! ! ! Lol

Okay, that's a date... I'll risk it.....
...and Holly is definitely in charge of making the cakes. :o)

think we sent at same time ian, i know you wouldnt ignore me , heheh :o), how are you today, any plans?

TT, you'd be made very welcome but as you know we have a tiny two bed bungalow (or Digsalow as Lily calls it) and you would be sharing with the worst snorer in the world!
NO not me, HOLLY. She can rattle the windows out of their frames! ! ! Lol
Hi San, Thank you, I'm not to sure yet. I've got plenty to do but ikkle angel tends to get in the way. I am going to have to sort out the hight problem with the poly tunnel. I think that might mean digging out a central path and building raised beds!

bad news with the polly tunnel and think you are right, a raised bed would help alot but also alot of work to get it done, im sure you will sort things out but just dont rush, take your time :o)

Nice job - Can't wait to see it in service, but then, that's certainly another great blog! Did someone say party?

Great job well done Ian...

Yes, Hmhb.... we did say party :o)
...and looks like Holly could be our secret weapon against the Flower Pot People...
..going to be a good winter. Lol.

Upset me Ian?..........of course not.....as long as you know your place! LOL. When's the poly-party?

Party is on Ian's birthday... December, I think. :o)

Hi San, It's now done (Blog to follow, just a short one I think!)
Hmhb, thanks :~))) There's going to be quite a few more blogs this winter I think! ! ! Watch this space.
Lily, I do know my place, it's right here in front of this PC talking to you. :~)) The Poly party is as soon as everyone turns up. Holly is in charge of the cakes, yummy, TT is bringing the T, and you and I can sit back and enjoy! Lol
Thats right TT, the thirty second of Dectober. Lol

Party!!!!!!!!!!!...I like the sound of that but no tea or coffee for me....I wanna proper drink....your birthday is New Year's day then?.....
Cakes....yummy....wots this about choc crispy cakes?...they should be for the GUESTS...you can have em anytime.....I might have some sloe gin left...I could bring that!

I reckon if I bring the T to the tunnel in mid December, that won't be far away from Ian's birthday... Ian's work will be completed by then.

Tunnel will need balloons, and paper chains...

Party games would be good....
...Garden quizzes.... Pin the tail on the Digitalis ?

well done looks great,should fit lots of lants in there

cricky that was quick lol, lol :o)

OK then Lou's bringing the 'proper' drinks, TT you've been demoted to bringing the balloons and paper chains etc. Lol
Thanks Joanella, I hope so.
San, Us blokes don't mess around, especially when Carol gives me her secret coffee! ! ! Lol

lol, you`ll be awake all night then

Two mugs San! ! ! I might be up for the whole week. Lol

We must have party games...
maybe Madperth should be in charge of games ? Lol.

heheh ,,
what can i do for the party Terra? maybe some nice cakes, i like baking :o)

I agree TT, so the list of help so far is:
AA is in charge of the 'proper' drinks!
TT is bringing balloons etc.
Holly is providing the cakes! Yummie
and Hatter is providing the entertainment!
Lily is keeping me company on my bench!
and San is showing her latest range of jewelry

PS. What are 'proper' drinks anyway?

We did it again San, posting together!
Sorry but Holly is in charge of the cakes. Lol

lol just seen the comment on the jewlery ian lmso
oh sorry forgot holly was cake making bless

Okay, I'm bringing tea, balloons and paper chains...

If Holly is in charge of cakes, she might need an assistant, so Sandra could be soux chef...
Holly could advise her on how important it is to taste the ingredients...

Ian.... what will you be doing ?

Sitting on my bench chatting to Lily! TT

I missed your comment again San, I think it must be my bulging staring eyes courtesy of Carols coffee. Lol
As TT says she is going to need an assistant! :~P (Apparently that is a smillie licking its lips! ! !)

yes i could do that lol Terra, if i taste wont be much left heheh
right ian will try remember that one :o~p

Well I'll just have to get one of those enormous catering sized boxes of rice crispies and a couple of tonnes of chockie, slurp!

yummy,, love them, marshmellows with chocolate dip to,,

sorry ian ,did i say lants ? ok who stole my -p?

Yummie San, you've just been promoted. Lol
OK NOBODY MOVE, who's taking the P out of Joanella? Come on own up! ! !

its ok ian everyone takes the p out of me i have lots of blonde senior moments,especially with computer.well with everything i suppose, and im not saying that for sympathy honest

Don't worry Joanella, you won't get any here. Lol
(joke, just a joke )

thank you,are you joking?!!!!!!!!!

woohoo promotion,, cheers ian lol

Lol, I'm not sure now J. ? ? ? ? ? ?
YW San :~))

dont worry joanelle ian always kidding around, :o)

i sorta guessed that theres always one isnt there san,lol

lol joanella, cant help but love him though heheeh

Sounds like I've got the best job at this shindig, sitting on the bench talking to you Ian.......ooooh what more could a gal(?) ask for!!
Are there any other men coming to this party or am I going to have to beat you all off our bench?

Well so far we have the catering team (Holly, TT Hatter and San) and us! Do you think I should invite Carol?

Of course Ian, but it's going to be a bit cold in December so she might need to wear 3 fleeces and another couple of duvets! We could have a bonfire - anything to burn in your 'junk' pile or shed? LOL

Errr Lily? Junk? I don't have JUNK, it's all valuble and impotant 'stuff' and I need it! ! ! But she can wear an extra duvet or three!

In what way are games catering, Digger? I COULD bring my boozy banoffi pie tho! And shortbread (if I can get the SPELLING right!) & tablet too, of course! But you'll need to invite David so I can cadge a lift! LOL!
OF COURSE you invite Carol!!!!

Well entertainment then, your still catering to our needs Errrrr I wish I could rephrase that but it still sounds wrong. Lol

Sorry to break up the party (even before it's started!) but I'm going to have to love ya and leave ya as I'm over-due a severe back massaging and it can't wait any longer so it's a fond Nite nite from me.
X x X

LMAO!! Yes, it DOES sound wrong!!!
Night night!

nite ian enjoy ya massage heheh

Great work again, Ian, mate! Takes forever to get down to the comment box! Aren't you a popular chappy?!

i just press END key balcony if you have one, dont have to scroll down, its so much easier

When I press end key San...it scrolls lengthways not down! What's going on there??!!

I didnt know that, San!!

I just tried it, Fluff, & it brought me straight down!

not sure about that fluff, try CTRL key and end key together

yes mari isnt it better

Nope...still doing the crab thing. I have a mouse for my laptop anyway & it's pretty quick to scroll with that.

maybe because you have the mouse plugged in,, not sure fluff, i use touch pad

Hmmm...on pain of sounding like a broken record...nope! Tried that too...I have Home to scroll left, End to scroll right then Pgup & Pgdown which are self explanatory but they are very,very slow! I'll ask the computer wizard who hangs out behind me in the living room talking b******s to old sailors...he'll know.

LOL! Thats an idea Fluff! How many old sailors have you got inyour living room???

yes i have PGUP nd down like you and the END key and home which takes me to the top of page again, think you have a mix up somewhere,,i take it you mean hubby lol

Usually only 2 at any one time...hubby & the one he's yacking to...men can't multi-task talk didn't you know? Heh heh I'll get flagged for that!!

lol fluff, i know exactly what you mean :o))
anyway im off now so hope you figure it out fluff, nite :o)
nite mari ,:o))

LOL! Night, Sandra! Sleep well!
Yes, Fluff, I DID know that! LOL!

Night San...sleep well.

When I said it takes forever I meant that reading it it took a long time to get to the comment box!

Anyway someone said a few days ago if you press the end key it'll take you to the end of the page - so I've been doing that for a couple of days & it's great - at least for the pages that you have read most posts & don't need to start at the top.

I find the HOME key takes me the top of the page - what a relief form having to scroll down page after page to read perhaps one or two comments!

I sent a message to Peter a few weeks ago about long pages asking him if it would be possible to have the new messages first on the page, he wrote back saying they would bear it in mind for a future upgrade of the forum.

Woah!! I just found this blog........where are you getting all this energy from ????? Well done on the constructions job........you'll just have to trim 6" or so off the bottom of your legs. LOL
So birthday in December eh? A Saggitarius like me!! Only the best people have birthdays in December! LOL. So, what can I bring to this party? Custard Creams?

More like coffee creams Gilli!!

Well GoY is so educational, the 'end' and 'home' keys are brilliant (never noticed them before - in fact I don't really know what most of the keys are for!) Thanks for the tip Fluff.
Great suggestion Balcony, let's hope it happens.
I was thinking of asking if pics could be shown bigger, or have facility to enlarge - anyone else think this a good idea or know any reason why it's a stupid question technically?

think it was my tip lily but its ok lol, how are you today, is the sun shining there lily?

I think thats a great idea to get photos bigger lily2.......
You have a lot of work to get through ian...............

Fraid not San, it's tried once ot twice but not made it, it's bright though but a bit chilly. Sorry you're right, great tip - must just get into the habit of using it Lol

lol lily, its rain here now and very misserable indeed :o((

Thanks Gilli, It's all to do with the coffee that Carol gives me!
Cheers Balcony, what can I say except :~)))))))))))))))))
Holly, thank you, yes I do. I wrote a list somewhere but I can't find it now! ! !
Lily and San, we had a lovely day today, sunshine and no wind or rain. We went to Matlock for a run out and had a wander down by the river, played in the play park and even had a ride on a train! ! ! :~)))))

PS. Oooo yes please Gilli, we've run out again. Lol

I asked Peter about that too. I also asked him about a way of putting clickable links in, but we will have to wait a little long for alterations.

Nevertheless, if more people on GoY were to write to him, (using the "Contact us" link at the foot of the page) then he may be persuaded to do something. :-)

It's brilliant Ian. Just think of all the things you'll be able to start off in that.

Cheers Hywel, I hope so. :~)))

Ian what have you got in that compost, it must have been standing in it when you were putting up the polly that caused you to shoot through the roof,still it should do wonders for your veg. Please tell Holly her shades are lovely she looks as if she`s all set for the stage, and if she`s as much imagination as her dad she should go far.
Once again a great production.
With help from San on getting to the bottom of the page its a good one all round.

Cheers Stroller, I was born 24 inches tall, so in fact I am the tallest dwarf in the world! ! ! I've only ever grown four foot five inches in my life. Holly loved those specks and was devistated when she broke the leg off about half an hour later. :~((

Poor wee thing! We'll have to look out for another pair!!

Awww your all sweetness and light today/last night? I do so easily get confused. :~))

Hand now dropping off scrolling through all these msg's. I was thinking to knit you a pair of knee pads for when you get into your new polly tunnel (fab job!) just wonder if you have a fav colour? Love Sue x

Awww Sue that would be great. I do most of my digging on my knees so you will need to use steel wool for them. Lol
Blue, most definately is my favourite colour! Lol
Thank you very much! ! ! :~))))))))))))))))))))

That is my fav colour too so as soon as pos I will unravell all my Brillo pads and get stuck in!! lol

LMSO Sue. :~)))

Where will you get blue brillo pads?
Sweetness & light? Nah, just not well! LOL!

Whats up with the Hatter tonight then?

Ear infection! :~(( Knocking me dizzier than usual! I've had it for a week now! Though I AM keeping my eye out for a pair of sunglasses for Holly! Mind you, they're thin on the ground at this time of year!

Oh dear :~((
Hope you get rid of it sooner rather than later !

So do I! Its really annoying! Mind you, I'll lose my spare tyre at this rate! Starving, but not keeping much down! Blah!
Other than that I'm just fine!! LOL!
You ok??

Regretting all that digging today but I know the perfect cure.
Carol's magic hands. Lol :~))

Lucky you! I'd love a nice massage right now!

I think it's an early night tonight for me! I can just see it now, Carol massaging essential oils into my back while I drift off into a peaceful (for me, I snore!) sleep. Lol

Shut up, you're making me jealous!

Ahhhhhhh heaven. CAROL it's bed time, grab your oils and things. Nite Hatter. Lol :~)))))))

Night! Jammy sod!! LOL!

Morning Hatter, I had a wonderful nights sleep ! ! ! :~)))))))))

Blah! I didnt sleep til after sun-up!

OH I am sorry to here that, what's up with your ear?

I've got some stupid infection in it! Its driving me up the wall!

Have you been to see the quack quack?

No point. I cant take antibiotics so I'm having to use lavender oil, & it works, but slowly!

Well keep warm and stop here all day!
No excuse to go out at all :~)))

Got to go to work tonight! :~((
Pm'd you!

Read it.

Pain in the proverbial, but c'est la vie!

As you say, but keep smiling ay!

Of course! I was even smiling as I walked away! Not for long, but........
I'll just move on, to whatever!

:~)

:~)))))
Whatever happens!

You never know what's around the corner!

Exactly! Bigger & better, hopefully!
Phone just rang, but I'm not answering, not in the mood for BS!!

Who's ever in the mood for that?
PM-MP

OK, ID!

Oi! Stop talking in code...if ID is PMing MP...I want to know the ETA of the PM & also the SP or I'll get the CIA involved with the SAS...my PC's sending out an SOS to U2.... RSVP! LMAO!Luv me...AKA Fluff!
