Yeah!...and l bet you advertise them as only having been used 'once'...




...In the morning and once at night if l know you

It'll be a while yet before I get up to any of that malarkey......unfortunately

[qbman1]

Unexpectedly roped into judging the flowers and veg at a Spring Show at the weekend. It's a minefield and I am now waiting for the hate mail and death threats to arrive !

[Onelife]

I displayed at our local fruit & veg show at the weekend and to say one of the judges was "crap", well he couldn't tell a spring onion from a stick of rubarb, next time he judges perhaps he should pay a visit to spec savers first.
..............

Quite an honour qb

Just off to get a turkey and the trimmings...it's now snowing.

Same in Banbury - we had a rousing chorus of Good King Wenceslas on Saturday morning !

Hope it wasn't the same show !!

They have asked me back in the autumn and next spring so you had better make sure your rhubarb is straight next year !! I'm off to buy a bowler hat !

It's what you displayed that was probably the problem.

[qbman1]

Off to the vets again tonight - just for a check up to make sure his ears are still clear

It was the limp, mis-shapen stick of rhubarb that caused all the trouble

[Mervyn and Trish]

Home alone today, laying new floor in kitchen

There's a new operation available on the NHS you could try. It's predominantly aimed at all-female couples. It's called a strapadicktome

Just a large carrot and two sprouts Stephen

[qbman1]

Been trying to rabbit-proof the allotments this weekend. Chicken wire is dangerous stuff - should carry a health warning. My hands and arms look like I have been self-harming !

[qbman1]

Pussy update:

Back to the vet for a check-up last night and his ear infection seems to have cleared up. He has had no fits for 2 weeks and is almost back to normal (whatever that is for a cat !!). They are keeping him on the daily steroids and anti-epilepsy medication but otherwise he is cleared to resume terrorising the neighbours' dogs !

He has to have a blood test in a few weeks to check all is well but for now......we have our pussy back !

[qbman1]

After spending at least three weekends and several pints of blood making sure the allotments are rabbit-proof, I caught two pheasants in the act of merrily chomping away on our crops this morning !

[Mervyn and Trish]

Buy a gun Cubie. At least then you could enjoy a varied diet of wild animals with your veg.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Ooops sorry. That was on topic. Whatever am I thinking?

[Mervyn and Trish]

Oh bu**er, so was that

[qbman1]

Really ought to stir myself into action and pop across to Waitrose for my free coffee

[qbman1]

Was the gun for the cat or the pigeons- sorry, pheasants

[Mervyn and Trish]

Whatever works best

[Mervyn and Trish]

S*d. Done it again.
