3 Jul, 2011

3 Jul, 2011
Turn it on end and it would make a good loo for Flower Pot People... I claim my prize... a Flower Pot Person ... with outside loo ... Lol.

3 Jul, 2011
That's very good Mark. I hope you do another! Whoever has the best suggestion could win what you made - TT - I see a prize coming your way!!
3 Jul, 2011
Excuse me Sticki, I think I am the winner,
3 Jul, 2011
Many apologies yorkie, I was under the impression that you didn't guess but used the picture!! Anyway terratoonie's outside loo made me laugh more!
3 Jul, 2011
I hoping I am "privy" to the correct answer ...
would make me "flushed" with success .....
... ha ha ha
3 Jul, 2011
Ha ha, Flushed with success, think I will Skip that one,
3 Jul, 2011
I rather think Yorkshire was 'privy' to the last answer!
Lets hope it doesn't all go down the pan!
3 Jul, 2011
Oh No, this is getting worse, beat that one Tt,
3 Jul, 2011
An outside loo for Bill and Ben...

3 Jul, 2011
how about a nice window box for Julie, anyway, what was the one you built yesterday, was it a boat, a loo, or a skip.
3 Jul, 2011
Oh, sorry, think I'm too late, I was out gardening!
Mark ~ how about a little house for a hedgehog? Or something I would like ~ a swing seat!
TT and Yorkie ~ maybe Mark should build a shed for all the pottys those flower pot men would need??
3 Jul, 2011
great blog even though im late lol
love the skip, my dad would love that as he was a skip man himself, now retired :o)
3 Jul, 2011
Hi Sandra.. knew you'd find this..Lol.
Sticki....
catch up on Mark's next blog with your potty idea ;o)
3 Jul, 2011
Found it thanks TT but I think I forgot to say that bit?
3 Jul, 2011
don't worry Sticki ...
I said it for you...Lol.
3 Jul, 2011
Thank you! So I can skip that then?
3 Jul, 2011
Yes .... already made a skip ..
3 Jul, 2011
Just want to say thanks Mark - you have written two very entertaining blogs - kept me giggling every time I read them.
Isn't there a song:
' loo, loo, skip to my loo!' ?
3 Jul, 2011
Quote :
Skip to my Lou ...
“loo” is the Scottish word for “love.” The spelling change from “loo” to “lou” probably happened as the song became Americanized.
3 Jul, 2011
I thought it was Lou but I changed it to suit the blog!
3 Jul, 2011
.. but fascinating that it originally was Loo...
so, as usual, Sticki, you were correct.. :o) Lol.
3 Jul, 2011
Makes a change TT! And only right by mistake.
3 Jul, 2011
Bedtime now, so I'll sign off with one for the gnomes which roam at dusk...
"Waterloo Sunset" ;o)
3 Jul, 2011
I can't follow that!
Early to bed, early to rise! I ought to do that,I feel permanently tired and I dont know why.
3 Jul, 2011
So my name in Scottish means Love Love LoL!
4 Jul, 2011
That's a very nice name then Loulou
4 Jul, 2011
Better than LouLouFifiTrixibelle!!! (as some mates call me, as well as LooBrush, I think something to do with wild curly hair!)
5 Jul, 2011
A loo brush?? Is that what Mark is making?
You could never be a loo brush lulu especially in that posh hat you have!
5 Jul, 2011
LOL and we are now going to Glorious Goodwood, I can wear the other posh hat!! The black and white one!
5 Jul, 2011
Did we see that photo? If not please can we?
5 Jul, 2011
I say, have we seen the finished product on here yet,
5 Jul, 2011
No! I was wondering!?
5 Jul, 2011
what he playing at then, will send him a PM and tell him to pull his finger out, whats the weather like down your end, bright here, raining and doing nothing,
5 Jul, 2011
It was raining, very cloudy and much cooler today.
5 Jul, 2011
So what's for dinner tonight? More lovely lamb and peas or shepherds pie?
5 Jul, 2011
No actually, OH has pulled another load of peas today, we had a barbie last night, that was very nice, I am having a beef salad tonight, and he is having a Salmon salad, a few beers and the odd glass of wine,
5 Jul, 2011
Pea wine would be very odd??
5 Jul, 2011
now that is so funny, OH said should we make pea pod wine, I say I don't think so,
5 Jul, 2011
I dread to think of the wine that could be made in mark's potting shed! That's what he must be doing - making wine!
5 Jul, 2011
Oh goodness, knowing him it could be anything,
5 Jul, 2011
Can you ferment wood?
5 Jul, 2011
if you can sticki, believe me, Mark will be the man to do it,
5 Jul, 2011
I expect it wood be difficult for anyone else!
5 Jul, 2011
yer, I get it, "wood" , Lol
5 Jul, 2011
Let's see what could he be making:
Willow wine
Bark beer
Lime liqueur?
5 Jul, 2011
Lilac wine ...
♪ ♫ "I made wine from the lilac tree

5 Jul, 2011

5 Jul, 2011
She's eating Tunes I think?
5 Jul, 2011
Which other blog ? ;o)
5 Jul, 2011
nice one Sticki, Terra the other one,
5 Jul, 2011
It doesn't take much to confuse me terra - don't make me worse!
5 Jul, 2011
she is getting me all confused now Sticki
5 Jul, 2011
I have no idea where I am at the best of times.
Perhaps Mark has made a time machine and he is now a time lord in the 22nd century?
5 Jul, 2011
Mark is probably out in his garden with a few cans of carlings,
5 Jul, 2011
Did you mean out of his tree after or with the carlings?
5 Jul, 2011
with the amount he can drink he's probally up the tree right now,
5 Jul, 2011
LOL alot! from what's for supper, to wine and beer, and would that we could make wine out of wood...to Time lords!
It's time for a wine!
5 Jul, 2011
I am just going in the lounge for a lager Lou, Cheers,
5 Jul, 2011
Any bottle will do!
5 Jul, 2011
Cheers back girls!
5 Jul, 2011
Think I had better have another one! Spend my time making tea for OH and he doesn't like it.
5 Jul, 2011
So what IS this project anyway?
6 Jul, 2011
I agree Lou, I want to know too!!
6 Jul, 2011
Does Mark live near you yorkshire? Could you pop over and ask him please?
6 Jul, 2011
about half hour away Sticki,
6 Jul, 2011
Wouldn't take long then, if you are not busy!!?
6 Jul, 2011
Oh Sticki, give me a break, done all the house work today and a pile of ironing,
6 Jul, 2011
Ok, tomorrow then?
6 Jul, 2011
Supermarket tomorrow, hey what's for dinner tonight, Prawn Omlettes with chips this end,
6 Jul, 2011

Onion and sage from the garden to boot!
6 Jul, 2011
Salmon fish cakes with potatoes and mint from the garden, followed by strawberries that I picked on Monday, oh and there is a carrot cake cooling in the kitchen.
6 Jul, 2011

6 Jul, 2011
Oh sorry I forgot, they were very nice tho! Strawberries all gone - had to be finished - past their best now. I do have some tummel (like Tay) berries though
6 Jul, 2011
