Well here we are again Saturday. Thanks for sticking with the week, been awake a couple of hours no idea why its the weekend.

Weather still not brilliant still waiting for it to be decent enough to tidy the front garden and clean the outside window and door frames but may go against the elements today and give it a shot. May not of course

Popping to a few carpet shops today decided to get new carpet for the bedroom. Have the things in place to build my built/walk in wardrobe so need to suss carpet out too for later. Hoping while I am on hols Dad will paint the skirting and door before the carpet so he can't get into trouble with that .

Right Mom Dad going to St Georges day show at Symphony hall later this afternoon starts at 6.30.
Hairdressers appointment tomorrow at 11 and off out tomorrow night, work Mon-Thurs night and away on Friday. So will spend a bit of time sussing out kindle book recommendations please have my Amazon account now. And have downloaded if that is the right word the broad moor book people spoke of before. Also looking at the one "Before I go to sleep" so suggestions please
Right that is my lot really other than a dog walk and Pat if you read this no joy with what I mentioned.
So off I trot see you all later have a great Saturday and be safe.
Oh yes may have a look at worktops for the kitchen too.

Emma thinking of you today as time passes it hits you harder but you did the right thing at the right time that helps a lot.

So later Alligators

Well looks like great minds think alike maybe someone can put the two Saturday threads together.


Pamela sounds like a brilliant weekend and I am amazed you have found lovely way to spend your weekends or part of them through just buying a car .

Enjoy your day out and dog walking. Blackpool not been for years. Opps someone at the door see you later.

Afternoon Pamela, Kazz and others to pop in later.

Just finished coffee after getting back from a nice walk with OH and Monty. Just beat the rain. I am popping out again in a while to go to the garden centre for some grit and the local shop for a few things.

Saw bluebells out in the woods this morning, buzzards flying and a couple of deer but they were upwind and Monty didn't catch their scent.

Kizzy and Pip are to be useful cats - our dog trainer is fostering a lurcher who is thought to be "OK" with cats but that needs to be proved. Obviously if the dog is non-reactive towards cats (an ask as she's a lurcher) she will have a better chance of rehoming. It's a sad case, there is no cruelty involved. She belonged to a gamekeeper who lost his job and could only take two of his four dogs to wherever he has moved on to. So she's homeless through circumstance. The visit will probably happen next week some time.

Have a good day peeps - keep dry!

[pamela81]

aww thats such a shame about the dog, her owner must be soo uoset having to choose which dogs to keep and re-home. Fingers crossed the visit goes well with all inviolved

We have just had to try and build a scratch post using parts from the big 1 we got for harris and skye as it became too loose for them to climb on and we werent able to strengthen it due to the bottom of the scratchposts being sheared by bolts so we have built a new 1 from the useable parts, looks not too bad!!! will need to try post before and after pics of what it was like and what its like now. and amazingly we didnt have to bin any parts!!!

Kazz, I have both the Broadmoor book and Before I go to Sleep on my kindle, thoroughly enjoyed both but I thought the latter one ran out of steam before the end and became contrived, still enjoyed it though

Today the yarn I was waiting for arrived, postman at the door at 7.30, long before we would normally get up Still waiting for the new porch light though, if it doesn't come on Monday I'll have to get in touch with them.

Had a couple of knots to deal with on Morgan's coat today, all because I didn't groom him for a day or two, no excuses but I won't let that happen again, poor boy was very patient while I combed them out, bless him!

Liver and bacon with mash for dinner tonight, yummy!

Just had another rain shower, shame we don't have room for more water butts!

Enjoy the evening!

Hi everyone. Emma, sorry to hear about Bronwyn.

We went to a family history fair today. OH has discovered albums of old photos while clearing out his Dad's bungalow and is trying to work out who everyone is and construct a family tree. There are some amazing Victorian pictures in there!

It is very showery today, the pheasants under the bird feeder look very soggy! I hope you have better weather for your picnic Pamela!
