I was going to say Mandy, I have a double bedroom and a single empty come and stay and then you mentioned Toby and as much as I love dogs I don't think he would go down too well with my two cats !!!!!!! My brother has one of his daughters and her three children staying with him, when he was here last week he turned to his wife and said, listen to that ............ peace and quiet ..................

When you put it like that David, the whole song makes sense, never realised it before, do little lambs eat ivy ?????

Shall I see if I can bag a couple of six footers Shirl. we could have one each ......Lol.

Yes! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

Translated as David said, I guess the second line translates as
A kid will eat ivy too, wouldn't you.

Morning all,

Well yesterday when I went out and arrived at the village it fell out of the sky. I only had a cheesecloth shirt and T shirt on and cotton trousers. Waited in the car for a min or two but it did'nt give up so took my shirt off and put on the only coat I had in the car which was a fleece. It then stopped for a little while so I walked to the shops. Did most things I had to do first and then it started again, stair rods this time and the market was trying to pack up. They kept having to push the tarps up to get all the water off. It was really bucketing down and I went from shop to shop. By the time I got to the car I was soaked through and drove home in a very wet state.

Well today is the day we go to get the fairies!! OH is just chivying me up to get ready to go out as his other wood is coming today for the staging on the end of the pond where the fairies are going.

Not very nice here today and as Elizabeth said the flowers are looking a little worse for wear with all the rain. I told you once it starts down here it never knows when to stop.

Forgot to say that OH and I ate some of our blueberries yesterday. It did'nt have many on it this year but I repotted it a little while ago and it has grown huge this year. It had been in it's other pot for about two or three years but now it has a bigger one and new acid soil it is going great guns.

Oh Elizabeth,don't get me started on animal cruelty!!!!!!.There will be steam coming out of my ears.
When I went to bed as a child,all my dolls and teddies and golly would be lined up beside me and I would sleep right on the edge of the bedI would get Dad to tuck me in tightly so I wouldn't fall out lol.

Hi everyone
Dull but dry this morning was raining but has now stopped.(very hard to write on here this morning keeps sticking)
Just had a shower after my exercises, not going out today, very quiet, catch up on some house chores. as tomorrow its off to baby sit Sofia as daughter no 1 is off to the job centre for her fortnightly visit.
almost lunch time so I need to find out whats left in the fridge, Daughter no 2 and boyfriend attack the fridge every time they come and I'm lucky if there's any meats left at all, catch up later today.

Jane

Jane Report 22 Jul 2010 12:08

I know just what you mean about the fridge Fiona !!!!!I often go to get something out and it has vanished lol.
There are some very nasty looking clouds .I have my music blaring away in the garden so think I had better get it in quickly in case of rain,

I Have had 4 phone calls so far this morning....all dodgy ones I think.I have not answered them.Just 1471 and they do not have the callers number.That normally means overseas!!!!!!!.
Right must get that CD player in now.
