Rain stops play, well painting! lol

no and if you keep stopping for a cig the painting won't get done today either, nice blog though

True. lol.
Thx

Wow Steve what an exciting time you had. I did have a laugh when you said you saw the big dangly legs and it was mum, i thought for a moment you meant your mum. strangely we were moving our fridge freezer yesterday, to get the BBQ out of the shed

lol steve i hate spiders but i would just have flicked the babes onto the ground, they would have survived, and fancy killing mum to you murderer you lol
hope you get it finished and does look better already painted up ;o))

I wouldn't call it exciting TL. There are other things i'd prefer to do like go shopping with the wife!! Ok ok i'm fibbing there! lol

Sandra, she had to go or i'd be panacking on where she was going to drop on me. lol.

Not sure if it will get done as more rain has just come down....like being at wimbledon! lol

Its looking better already Steve, I thought the fence might of been damaged from the Ivy but it looks great, Its Amazing how the plants look against the dark brown, Its My favourite colour fence paint, when your finished stick some pics up, im looking forward to seeing how it all turns out..

lol im exactly the same but a little better since being into gardening more,

Thx Dee. It would look a whole lot better if mother nature would stop intervening. Gina just cooked me a nice roast lamb whilst we had that downpour & it stopped raining just as we sat down to eat it. typical.
So finished my dinner a bit lively, let it go down, quick ciggie then start again. Well I didn't even get to finish my cig, it teemed it down AGAIN. Now whilst i'm on here its stopped again & the sun has come out.
Begining to think him upstairs doesn't want this fence painted! lol.

Agree with it looking better already and can't wait to see all the plants & shrubs against the dark fence. The mystery plant is standing out already and think the staghorn will look great aswell.

Pics will be up when its all finished. Could be a while! lol

That sounds 'quite' frustrating Steve! We had a spiders nest like that on our conservatory. Scott touched it and the whole lot ran - just like yours. Shame but sometimes you have to be cruel as they make it so hard to do the kind thing! Hope the big Daddy spider doesn't come and get you in your sleep tonight Steve......eeek....eeek....eeek!! ;))))

Praps 'him upstairs' is telling you to give up the cigs!! ;)

Your soooo not funny Karen!!
If he was telling me to give 'em up then he'd let me get the fence finished coz everytime I stop, I light 1 up! lol

Doing a great job Steve and the Staghorn does look fab against that dark fence, but do you find that it suckers everywhere should like to know as I wouldn`t mind one as I think they have such an interesting shape. Bad boy smoking amongst your plants there supposed to make your garden smell nice.

Trust me, i was nowhere near my plants, was well undercover! lol.
It is a bit sticky stroller but I wouldn't get one if I had a choice. The roots spring up everywhere. lol

I dont like spiders either, but if they leave me alone then i leave them alone.

Not funny? Me?.....;)

Great blog Steve. Had the same problem yesterday with the weather but did manage to plant a few Impatiens and Lobelia that were left over from my Daughter. when the weather kept me indoors decided to log on GoY but then couldn't get connection so I was a bit peeved as you can imagine. Meant I had to carry on with housework. lol. As for spiders. they're sacred in our house since my eldest daughter was small., and she's still the same. I only like the ones that are not too odd looking? lol.ha ha.
