Spring is sprung, da grass iz riz...

Aw shucks, thanks, Sticki.

lol :O) love it - hope the shed is warm Mouldy :O)

Got my thermal drawers on, Olive.
Boy Scout many decades ago, so always prepared, me. ;-)

you do make me smile,Mouldy..just what is needed to spur us all on at the moment..My boidies are missing as well..someone feeding them with better stuff,maybe? How very dare they stay away..that's loyalty for you :o)

How very, VERY dare they, Bloomer ! :-[
You're welcome to a few thousand from Glasgow, but you'll need a really big box to carry them all.
Thinking about it, some might actually be your's anyway, out for a little jaunt & some Scottish quisine, before catching a flight home?
Well, it made me cackle.

Lol, Mouldy..I do give them Porridge oats ,mixed in with fat..but it isn't the Scottish variety(Cheapo stuff)..maybe I should try Haggis ? .you swap me a few of yours,and I'll send you some pigeons..:o) only problem is,they will probably fly back !

Thanks, Bloomer, but we've got hundreds of feral pigeons from when the building next door was demolished.
Listen, the birds don't know the difference.
As for haggis, not my cup of tea.
I'm an ova-veggie. Love porridge done the proper way with salt.
Don't like whisky, either.
stranger in a strange land. Lol.
Am out for my messages (trans : shopping).
Chat later, guys.

The sun is shining and my boidies are twitterpated, its x-rated so one has to avert ones eyes, they've been feasting on a meal of cooked rice as some numpty who hates the stuff cooked three times the amount for daughter," OOPS "
Big decision time here, do I tackle the potato plot, turn the compost bin or tidy the strawberry patch????

Back indoors now as my tooties were feeling the cold but I've done all three jobs and deserve my coffee, my friendly robin and blackbirds sat above in the hedgerow singing their little hearts out as I was turning up lots of worms..Considering that area is in a shady spot and was hidden under a covering of snow two days ago it was quite easy to dig and didn't really take that long, my compost is breaking down nicely and will soon be time to empty that bin out ready to start again..
The top g'house window even opened a little bit, thats how much warmer it was for a while whilst the sun was shining, today has been a day to really spur me on Mouldy, I LOVE IT, sod the dusting, lol....

What is dusting?

Love your blog and glad to share GOY with you too

An archaic ritual from long ago,Andrew :o) I think it's what you do when you are expecting visitors ..along with Cushion Plumping.Lol.

Thats the one Sandra, also late at night if and when we have summertime, mind you I 'm not the only one who can use a duster here and if they dared say owt I'd chuck it at them, lol.....

My OH found his niche in life,when he retired,Sue..aren't I the lucky one? ..he actually likes it..:o) but the garden is my domain..just the way I like it ! Lol.

You lucky B.... Sandra, Derek has retired from the lorries now and has been at home for a few weeks, he's only going to work part time, the garden as you know is mine and I wouldn't want it any other way but he is NOT into the housework, in fact he has a habit of saying" Do you have to do that now" or "What are you doing now" a couple of weeks back I snapped and told him that "CONTRARY TO WHAT HE BELIEVED I DID NOT SPEND ALL MY DAYS ON MY BUTT"......., that shut him up thank goodness, LOL.
He has been better this week as he has been doing some work in his shed and is hoping to start his part time work in a couple of weeks....

I'm glad you enjoy it here :o)

The land is cold my feets are friz.I wonder where my slippers is? Is they here, or is they there,is my slippers where, oh where? Under the table, under the bed? Surely my socks is there instead?

Nice one, Feverfew, lol.
Is that your's or the rest of the poem I 'borrowed'?
Definately a Brooklyn, maybe Queen's poet.

Got this from a Manchester University rag day magazine in about 1949 or 50! There were more verses which I only remember bits of.

I guess I was about 12 when I read 'Spring iz spring'.
That and 'Down wiv Skool'.
Can't 'member who wrote it, but it was heavily illustrated by Ronald Searle.
Funny how some things stick in your mind. Lol.

Another fine blog. Like the prose!
I have a vague memory of da boidies poem......but memory vague today due to excesses before a detox! Thought I'd finish the wine so they would be no temptation.....pity there was more than one bottle! Silly, silly lulu!

Oh, fangsh, (Hic) Lulu.
Where'sh all da boidies? (Hic!)
Flew up in da shky n (Hic) lef' 'ole Mouldy, here. (Hic!)
