Where there is a will.....

I like this blog because I can relate to it immensely! Our garden too is littered with 'heads' of things. OH is a dab hand at breaking spades, seems to be his goal in life. He is banned from using my small 'ladies' garden spade and fork. But we have brushes which could do with this treatment, so I shall start collecting them up as soon as tomorrows wet weather has passed.

Great idea Sandra :)
I'm always looking for things too lol ....

Lol,Sandra..I'm the same with trowels! I lost three in one week,a few weeks ago..Russell bought me a new one..brightly coloured ! and a friend gave me another..When cutting things back,I found one in a border,another in the compost bin when turning it over,and the last one behind the fence where I put other garden waste :o) I now have five ,so here's hoping I do better this next year :o) Yuo have done a really good job there with your brush handle :o) x

Excellent, Sandra .. added to GoYpedia :o)

do it Honeysuckle..it was so satisfying..

Hywel and Sandra you sound as bad as me...when i was weeding this week i came across 2 pairs of rusted secateurs...one pair was beyond help but WD40 on the other pair and they work.

:-) Terra..

WD40 is great ! I don't know what I'd do without it :o)

I will not respond to that snoopdog except to say my heart sinks when I hear my OH say 'Have you seen.......?'

insert anything from an inexhaustible list [keys, spanner, alne keys, screwdriver, glasses, cleat, pin, ......]

I am always loosing tools too ... and keys lol
I even lost a cup of coffee one day last week - couldn't find it anywhere ! :(

I can relate to lost hand tools and also the uses of hubby's WD40, its brilliant for cleaning paint off my hands as well as cleaning my tools, just don't like the smell, I don't lose the sweeping brushes completely but do lose the flipping heads off halfway down the path, hubby says I'm too heavyhanded, how is that possible, lol.
Jobs a goodun Sandra and far more interesting than sweeping up....

Hywel my coffee is always cold when i remember where i left it.

It is definitely not just me Snoop... 4 male 2 female in this house and the males are far worse than us at not putting things back...

SBG it is a scientific fact that they are worse than females when they are looking for things..

Lincs i have my own can...hidden..lol

Mine also lol I eventually found it half way down the garden ... :D

My Grampa must have been the exception to the rule - he was immaculate with his tools. They were all wrapped individually in cloths and placed neatly in a drawer.
I wish I was like that !

me tooHywel it would make everything easier....hope your frost wasn't too bad last night...it did get here...windscreens frozen this morning!!!

... and here, but my newly glazed shelter was frost free :) I hope your polytunnel was too ...

all fine in the west Hywel...and what a beautiful day we had..:-)

And here - nice and sunny but very cold ...

I enjoy being a handy person...Isn't it satisfying? It's great to do it yourself. I had to have our snowblower tuned up this year...and the snowshovel repaired.
We had two weeks of extremely cold weather...5 inches of snow and I actually used the snow blower! (had to clean a mouse nest out of the breather though) HOWEVER, yesterday morning the wind became balmy and it was 7 degrees...today it's 12, we've had rain and sun but terrible winds and lost power for about 6 hours! we lost all our snow and I actually got some more last minute cleanup done. the arctic weather is due to return tomorrow. sooo sad.

time for you to hibernate soon i think Lori.
we have had so much rain lately but it keeps the temps up for a while longer. but this week we seem to have a reprieve during the day with dry crisp air which means it drops by night.
