i just watched minty digging a hole and i was wondering what she has dug up this time!!

i have just planted some of these pimms [got them nicely reduced] never grown them before ~ any advice?

I just stick bulbs in and hope Sticki..But I think it was Surrey who feeds it on really strong tea....Check with him first in case I got that wrong.

Miss Marbles has snapped all the Peacock lilies in two already and was gaught sunning her pink belly in the Hosta's yesterday.

Hot water bottle and Remedeine.

I once got reiki off harold Riley's (the Artist's) wife.

i thought they were shoes!!!! or is that reiker????? [they are super comfortable]

7 May, 2012

 

Im not a trained reiki healer but i do it on Rick..Reiki for Ricky lol he says the heat coming from my hands is incredible. ;)

Isn't reiki something to do with tickling the soles of peoples' feet?
Yes, you lot - stop sending your grotty British weather over and stealing my sunny stuff. OH is just making the woodburner up to light later, and we couldn't see out of the window for thick, dripping mist this morning. IT'S NOT FUNNY any more!
Our cats don't so much dig stuff up, they wait until seeds and bulbs, etc. start coming up, and then they roll all over them as if they are doing us a favour. I've lost nearly all my lettuce and night-scented stock seedlings and two lilies have been completely flattened. Little tinkers!

Excellent Pims, looking good and strong, yes you got it right , stewed strong cold tea, mine loves it.... almost like a triffid,,,

7 May, 2012

 

I hardly ever drink tea myself...Like a good breakfast tea with toast and marmalade now and then....But I will start making a cuppa or two for this fella now. How many times a week SL..

7 May, 2012

It looks like a sensor detecting if the "air is clear" (from cat, of course):))

8 May, 2012
