Well... We bought the tractor.
It doesn't move. Will run wonderfully and the hydraulics seem to work well. It just doesn't "go".
Hubby says it could be a couple of different things. Shouldn't be expensive to fix, just time consuming. Yeah, like we have tons of that to go around!
I'll take a pic once it stops raining..

Did he buy it as a new project? :eek: You guys have so many projects right now...

He had his medicine this morning with a sliced strawberry but I think it must have tasted bitter and he didn't like it or trust me to hand feed him the rest of the day.
He has been very active - wandered in and out the garden but didn't bask long. He has eaten but has been very picky and ignored his weeds. I wasn't able to feed him much critical care mix today.
He is still awake and is feeding himself a plateful of mixed leaves at the moment.
Thanks for asking Carol.

He seems to be doing better. Still keeping my fingers crossed.

And they only said Harry and Megan. I thought you had to use the full official name to make it official. But I guess as long as the paperwork reflects their official names then it is still legit.

Could it be because the priest was American?
Anyway, what do I know....except for the entire BBC news feed :eek:

Happy Monday!!

We have a drizzly chilly day here so I’m going to make a lasagna! It’s been forever because my kids don’t like it, so I guess they’ll find something else.

Yesterday I felt so bad for my husband. He spent a long time seasoning 3 racks of ribs and smoked them for 6 hours and they were so salty we couldn’t eat them. I ate 3 and it was hard to do. He never cooks and he was so disappointed.

You still ate some? You’re a treasure!

When we got married 28 years ago our vicar told us that it didn’t matter what names are said, but it was better if they were correct.

It is traditional in the Church of England to say all forenames.. “I Alison Beryl Celia Doreen take you Edward Frank George to be ...”

However, our vicar preferred to just use your chosen name (even if it was an abbreviation) as nobody was likely to make a mistake then.

Anyone who is old enough may remember Princess Diana saying Prince Charles names in the wrong order when saying her wedding vows.

Good mornooning, roommates!!! Missed you all.
This was a long weekend for us because of the Pentecost or something. Daughter’s singing went really well, and we ended up seeing a bit of Malmö before the concert.
The concert took place in the old Rådhus - municipal building on the Grand Square:

Daughter was a sweet white bunny:

Then, on Sunday, we went to the Copenhagen Medieval Fair with knight tournaments, viking shows, and craft stalls.

Black Death walked amongst us :eek:

On Monday was a school event at a large park near a castle. The nature parks association had a deer skinned next to a playground and we got to cook the meat.

We also bought some sausages and — @Tidgy’s Dad — CHEESE! *wink wink*

Good Morning All,

Sorry didn't have time, to reply to everyone. So here goes:

Lyn - Please put the ornament next to Lola's food plate. It would be interesting to see if that does motivate him to eat better and on his own.;) Love the comment about the phsycopath. Was that deliberate or a mistake again?

Linda - Glad you managed to get through all the washing. Mmmm I didn't know that the Leprechaun had access to our washing baskets. That must be why every week we seem to have bedding to wash. And yip I hate ironing as well. That is why I hang the shirts on coat hangers out on the line to dry. They dry like that with very little creases. So sometimes I don't have to iron them at all.

Dan, Glad you made it. Just please be careful and look after yourself. Enjoy your rest/vacation. And I love love the beach when it is like that. That beach looked perfect for a nice long walk and listening to your favorite music via ipod.

Lena, I had wondered where you had gotten to. Your daughter looked soooo cute in her bunny outfit. Glad her singing went well. The festival also looked like it was fun. Good luck with all the housework.

Bambam, you guys are really ambitious people or at least your husband is, with all those projects that he has on the go. And put cottonwool in your nostrils, that way there won't be any space left for the cottonwood to go in as well.:D;)

My husband is one of those people that CAN'T sit still. He has to have something to do... It's exhausting just watching! I say watching because he is also the kind that MUST do everything himself so that he knows it's done properly[emoji57]
I think shoving cottonwool up my nose would be counter productive to keeping fluffy stuff out..[emoji28]
