COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Lol. You two are terrible. [emoji23] [emoji23]

I’ve been doing it for over 30 years... it’s a hard habit to break

 

[CarolM]

I'm just a passenger so it's ok.

Lol. That is good. So did you enjoy your holiday despite the weather?

 

[CarolM]

I'm back home. Wasn't happy with the rail ties that were available or their prices. Heard about another place that I think may have better prices but it will have to wait til tomorrow.
I've got chicken pot pie in the oven(homemade).

Dinner sounds really yummy. I like chicken pie.

It will be ready in about 20 minutes. Just don't burn your mouth on it [emoji39]

Someone barbecued their van between Junctions 10 and 9, so we crawled round the M25. JoesDad made it home before us and had organised dinner, so we have now eaten and unloaded the car. Time to relax

Mmmm. I don't think barbeque van will be nice at all. Probably too crispy!!

Yes I imagine it would be. If and when you and Lena ever get another tort at least you will know where all the weeds are. [emoji6] [emoji6]

I am just going over to Lena to taste her dinner then I will be right over to taste yours. I mean I don't want to be a pig or anything. And don't worry I like my food hot. Cold is for summer and we have winter here. So hot is good.

After taking care of and feeding all the critters, I took Sterling (the most recent stray cat with FeLV) to the vet. She's not eating, has REAL bad diarrhea and is quite listless. The vet said the symptoms MAY be due to the FeLV, but could also be some sort of infection. This vet doesn't opt for extensive testing unless you want it, so I took the antibiotic route. He gave her an antibiotic injection and a cortisone injection and gave me a little bottle of antibiotic to take home. He showed me how to give her 2cc of electrolyte water every hour. Poor Sterling. She 's only a little over a year of age. It's hard to see her like this. I haven't had her very long, but I've become quite attached to her.

So, yes, I'm now just going to vegetate.

Poor Sterling! Hope the antibiotic helps.

It was ok. Hopefully next time my health and the weather will cooperate more lol

Shame. [emoji85] [emoji85] Yes trust your luck for everything to go wrong when you want to take a break.

Actually I think you need to write a stinking letter to the weatherman and get a refund and then you need to follow that with a stern talking to your body.

Well that is me over and out for the night. So sleep tight and sweet dreams. And just to remember Adam.. Nos Da everyone.

Goodnight and sweet dreams

I have just been out gardening! I ordered 5 heathers and they arrived today. Tomorrow’s weather forecast is as stormy as yesterday so I decided that getting them in tonight would be best. The ground was already prepared, so it was just a question of making holes and sticking them in.

So that’s my pollinators’ corner fully planted now Lots of plants for bees and butterflies


I have flowering currant (ribes), potentilla, buddleja, lavender, heather, creeping thyme ... and for Joe as promised... sedum spectibile (He ate my prized ones to the ground and I said I’d plant more in his memory)

So it’s done now and all it should need is water and sunshine.

That pollinator corner looks great. I see a cluster of Red Hot Poker there as well.
