RE: You can never have enough... - popeye333 - 03-10-2023 Morning everyone Fine here at present too Yay. I love book fairs, ours must be fairly close.. There's a garage sale at one of our oldest schools this Saturday. I went last year and it was good. MrP asked if he could come but I said to him there is no way he could. The ground is rough as and its up stairs. Which is why I only went for the first time last year. They are doing a lovely job in restoring it. I have a pick up today so that gives me a few extra dollars. Sold some pure wool blankets, which I know are from between 1974 and 1978. But they are in awesome condition. Will load the dishwasher and generally potter about today. Have a fab day all RE: You can never have enough... - Roma - 03-10-2023 Good morning. It's sunny, but that wind is cold! The quilt is beautiful Mica, a work of art. Thanks KM ... I'll keep those dates in mind. I was thinking when you mentioned the library that the last time I visited for books, it was to a couple of shipping containers .. temporary library at the time! No plan for today, usually dirty my hands pulling the odd weed as I spy them which often leads to a "session". The wind is going to mean watering. Cuppa finished. Enjoy the day all. RE: You can never have enough... - Mica - 03-10-2023 Morning all Sun and wind No plans for today no doubt I will get more done on my jacket. Need to spend some time in the office have stuff to write but just not in the head space to do it have given myself a deadline so it will get done. Enjoy your day RE: You can never have enough... - Lilith7 - 03-10-2023 I've properly introduced the cat to Madame Le Dog. I can't be sure it went along the lines of: 'Die,cat!" & "Silence peasant.Bow down before your new ruler!" But I wouldn't be at all surprised. Strong wind last night broke a branch off a tree & also smashed one of the old car windows I keep for protecting new plants so had all that to clean up once I got back from the dreaded shopping. Don't think I'll be doing much else once our obligatory daily walk is done, still quite cold but allegedly is set to warm up later. RE: You can never have enough... - kiwimade64 - 04-10-2023 morning ladies ![]() Lol, Lilith. I remember our cat ruling with an iron paw over the dogs. They were terrified of her lol. I had the Furry One (when he was a puppy) curled up beside me on the sofa when QB (Queen Bit**) decided she wanted to sit there. Rather than waiting (why would she?) she sat on top of The Furry One. There was absolute terror on the Furry One's face. I couldn't move without moving the Furry One and MrK had to come to our rescue. We had the Furry One's brother then as well and he was just as scared of her. She even bossed our black labby before we had the Jack Russells. The library books our grandkids borrowed need returning. As of 1st July, there are no fines if books are returned late as they just want them back. These have only been out a week (we can have them for a month) but no point in them being here when others can read them. While I'm out and about I'll fill the petrol can for the lawn mower. And I must phone the Stihl shop to see what's happening with our pruner. And hopefully I can spend some time on the thrush. It really needs to be finished. Happy crafting ![]() RE: You can never have enough... - popeye333 - 04-10-2023 Morning everyone A chilly start but hopefully it will stay as lovely as it is now. I like the sun when there isn't too much heat to go with it. Our previous girl-cat Millie was not scared of dogs. She ruled over 2 foxies, and a German shepherd. The way our lounge kitchen and dining room were there was a central wall and she would chase those poor foxies around the rooms constantly. And she couldn't care less that the German Shepherd was massive compared to her. lol. Im sure she thought they were put on the earth for her to torment lol. Off to see MrP again today, armed with more baking and the last of the steamed pudding. I must plug his phone in. Had to use their phone again last night. I wish he would just remember to plug it in after we have talked at night. I got the front of the lawn done yesterday, and depending on how I feel later I might finish it. I find it a good place to do alot of thinking lol. Have a fab day everyone RE: You can never have enough... - Mica - 04-10-2023 Morning all Very chilly start here too and its clouded over Another household where the feline s have reignedcwith iron paws - well that was the Abyssinian. The tabby we have currently likes our 2 but not the DD k9 that is a permanent resident Got more done on my jacket lots top stitching so that slows thing down. Got notified that the adjustable edge foot that I ordered 3 months ago had arrived so nipped over to collect that. Having the right tools makes some tasks much easier. Sewing maching shop just happens to be a few blocks from gluten free cafe so I popped in on the off chance they had cream donut yep one left generously creamed and jammed on the spot ![]() ![]() Going to nip up the coast soon to suss out a cafe to see if it will be suitable for our cafe pick for our brunch group.

RE: You can never have enough... - GJW - 04-10-2023 Cat sitting 0n dog. The cat rules here. RE: You can never have enough... - kiwimade64 - 04-10-2023 lol GJW, love it!

My old burmese would dearly love to snuggle with my furry dog but she is out of her bed like a shot if there is any hint of close contact! This burmese rules! RE: You can never have enough... - popeye333 - 04-10-2023 (04-10-2023, 10:16 AM)GJW Wrote: Cat sitting 0n dog. The cat rules here. Ohhh a perfect match. Love it. Back done now Im shattered. I've left the mower out, which I shouldn't have done cos now Ill sit and seize up. But never mind its not going to rain any time. Stopped and got a bag of Fire pellets.. $12-59 for 15 kilos.. Once I have brought the mower in I will use the cargo trolley and slide it out of the car. And I have a good lidded bucket that Ill scoop some into and then start transitioning madam. I hope she likes it cos its certainly cheaper. And thank goodness for phones with the internet cos the new guy at Mire 10 didnt know what I was talking about. And an added bonus, its nice and close to the checkouts too. MrP had physio while I was there and then they took him off for a shower, and he needed it. So he actually apologized for cutting our visit short.. He never apologises... Sorted his phone out so it should be ok to call him tonight. Arthur was off to the Super clinic for an appointment and Ken was in the lounge so I suggested MrP enjoy the peace and quiet this afternoon.

Had coffee at Cafe up the line, coffee was good but we won't be having brunch there, not safe gluten free eatery and the people not exactly try welcoming. Its fun finding new places we haven't been before though it is becoming a challenge after 4 years to find somewhere we haven't been before. Finished my jacket need to get buttons to finish it off RE: You can never have enough... - Oh_hunnihunni - 04-10-2023 It is interesting the way different cat breeds have very different personalities. I have had Burmese, rexes of both descriptions, Siamese, Orientals, Balinese and mogs, and I definitely lust after an Abyssinian. And a Bengal, truth be told... These finely bred animals may have physical challenges of their own, but oh their personalities are just so interesting. But hey, cats are superior beings. We just have to accept the fact if we ever hope to catch up.

Sam... Oddly when the truck ran into her house, in the corner brick there was a jar with a letter from the family that built the house and they apparently had Thames First Manx cat. Sam died not long after my sister died. I think it was meant to happen RE: You can never have enough... - kiwimade64 - 05-10-2023 morning ladies ![]() We've always had moggies. They have randomly turned up and moved in lol. There is something special about being chosen by a cat. My voters pack turned up yesterday, there are so many parties I have never heard of! At least here in NZ there won't be any accusations of cheating, we are so lucky to have what we have. Yesterday I divided the Star of Bethlehem bulbs ready for my sister-in-law's visit this weekend. She lost hers when she moved and it's great to be able to return some of them to her, another good thing about sharing your garden goodies. The iris' are starting to bud up already. Usually the dutch iris' flower first then the iris'. Nope, not this year. So much is changing. Those of us that garden can certainly see climate change in action. Washing machine has finished, time to get moving and make the most of this cloud cover. We're supposed to hit 20 degrees today. Happy crafting ![]() |
