You can never have enough...

Good morning. 

Overcast this morning ... hopefully the day improves as forecast.

KM there are so many good walking (concrete) trails near the river or Karapiro.

Darned birds ... I don't mind the 2 resident blackbirds on my lawn each day but every now and again they have a good garden scratch! Mulch all over the paths, seedling roots exposed or dug out! I find poking sticks (and whatever else will go into the soil) everywhere helps.

GS will get picked up today ... he's been good to have around. I will do some watering later to ensure we get the rain that is predicted, lol. Might even decide on some handcraft of one sort or another and find time to work on it. 

Cuppa finished. 

Enjoy the day all.

Morning all 
Another lovely day no clouds to be seen.

Attended friends memorial gathering yesterday afternoon, caught up with some old colleagues and a few of us went out for a meal. Emotional but a good day.

Going to David Williams kid show this afternoon with DGS and his mum I am looking forward  to it.

Been to gym this morning needcto shower and go get some cat food for DS cats so that I can drop it off when I meet them at their house.

Quilting is not perfect but progressing 

Enjoy your day

I used to edge my garden beds with bricks and a spade cut drainage ditch, it looked so neat and tidy on those big curves under the trees, until the blackbirds descended to hunt for worms. It was a weekly battle, me with the broom twitching fresh soil back where it should be, and those buggers with their dirt tossing excavations. These days though we are on friendlier terms. I have two, mr and mrs I think, who come when I garden, to watch for the delivery of slugs and snails - this place has a plague of those. The birds come so close, especially mr, bright beady eyes focused on every move my hands make just in case I miss a prize. The Tatty cat sits on the stairs in the sun and just watches them hop to it, I don't think she was ever taught birds are prey. Small felt balls though, she knows what those are. And knows that at 2am they are on the prowl and require rounding up...

I have a long line of bricks along a path which has my blueberries in the garden beside. The birds love that garden until I have the netting up. I've done as you suggest OHH in the past, but in this garden we have an irrigation line near the edge! The bricks keep going wonky .... I'm still waiting for a long (scrap) board from DH'S work!

morning ladies More sunshine!

I no longer have anything lining my garden edges. If you had seen the concrete fill that used to be there you would have seen how dangerous it was with its pointy and jagged edges. I was going to replace it with railway sleepers or the bricks my sister-in-law is taking, but we decided we quite like it without. I dig a wee ditch to keep everything in place and the lawnmower does the edges for me. Occasionally as I weed, I'll take the spade to it and trim them that way. It is much safer for MrK (and me) to walk onto the garden too and there is no fuss in getting the wheelbarrow onto the garden.

This morning I'll mow the lawn, hopefully it won't be such a mission like last week. And maybe a scoot with MrK later on.

Happy crafting

Morning all 
Overcast expecting rain later

The feline has adapted very well to daylight  saving  and was very vocal at waking us at 6.30 this morning. 

Had fun time  at David Williams kid show yesterday DGS enjoyed himself 

A quick buzz around with vacuum then have some urgent emails to deal with

Hope to complete quilting and get the binding on quilt today.

Enjoy your day

Morning everyone

Sunny here.. not overly warm tho.. It was nice yesterday.

Have to pop up and get my warfarin. Stupid Dr forgot to put it on my prescription.. Totally out of 1 mg, and breaking a 3 mg down to one is just stupid and fiddly lol.

I packed down the last painting and set up the next, And started it last night. Doing the blue Poppies. There is 26 colours in it, 13 are different blues. Dianne just finished a Truely beautiful one with Autumn Maple leaves and Monarch butterflies.

May get my front lawn done later. Need to get the knee moving again.

I have such good lighting now that I painted very late last night... sleeping is so overrated, and I was wide awake at midnight lol.

Yesterday I earnt a Diamond badge in my card games. Something I've strived to reach for so long.. I was in the top 10 out of half a million people 3 times in September, in saying that I haven't checked yesterdays level yet.. Its my mental kick start to the day. A bit like my grandmother who always did the crossword in the herald before she got out of bed. She trained her delivery person to pass her the paper through the bedroom window lol

Colleen was wrapped with her Cushion yesterday. She used to sew and misses her machines.

Have a fab day all

Funny you should say that about the feline, mica. The Furry One is on the button time wise with his meal demands too! Breakfast he isn't too fussy when it is served, but by heck, you better be on time with dinner
