Hello Sue :-) I hope you are enjoying your hols :-D

I'd rather mow the lawn than cook a dinner :-D

Yes Sue- I can imagine that you would be helpless in laughter at my expense.

If , and when, I fall over, I shall be sure to let you know how long it took me to get up again :-D

Linda I may well put that question to them tomorrow

I agree Linda :-)

Hello Tec :-)

Yes , pots are expensive but as you say , a good one should last for many years . OH bought me a small version of the one I got today , for my birthday ( back in Feb ) , there was a very BIG one but I decided it was to large ( and to expensive ) , so I bought the middle sized one this time . It is by the pond with a rather lovely Heuchera in it . I'm just praying it doesn't become Milos newest " victim " :-(

The little hover mower had belonged to my late bother , it was more o less brand new , I had passed it on to my son but he didn't use it , so I've claimed it back :-) We do have a big petrol hover mower , but the lawn had become so lumpy over the years it was a nightmare to use . OH has been strimming the grass for several years . I think you get a better finish with this new device .

I am enlightened Tec, anything I don't like doing is mans work :-D

Hello Amanda :-)

I freely admit I would be laughing hysterically watching you try to get up, Tec :-D

We live in enlightened times of equality

there is no such thing as "mans work" or women's work :-D

Oh no - not another match going into extra time, no wonder I'm tired :-(

Good Evening Amanda,

Your new pot sounds very nice. There are some lovely pots around now, but so expensive. Though I think probably a good investment as they should last years, instead of crumbling in the frost.

Little flymo's are very useful especially if you don't have acres to mow.

I expect the novelty will soon wear off Linda ......lol

Tut Amanda moving the lawn is mans work. At least it is in my house and it is staying like that

Good evening everyone :-)

It has been a beautiful day here also , blue skies and sunshine , lovely :-)

I went to a garden centre and bought a new large pot , it is square and has slate sides ( like a drystone wall in miniture ) . I also bought plants :-D

I have mowed the lawn ( for the first time in over twenty years ) :-0 OH usually does that job but I've got a new light weight little hover mower . I enjoyed buzzing it about .

Hope everyone is well :-)

Perhaps you should ask that Tec

I don't suppose I could expect any help from you two if I fell over.

Probably stand there shrieking with laughter, as I struggled like a tortoise to get upright again.

I wonder how you do get up with a wooden leg? :-D

It is on here as well

Well not unless we're there to see you trying to get back up again :-D

The men are also watching football.

Don't be too ambitious with your practicing at first Tec, we don't want you falling over

Hello Sue,

The local hospital is only 20 minutes away, and a lot more relaxed than where I currently go - so things will be a lot easier.
Plus if they let me bring my leg home, I can practice in my own time.
They suggest 15 minutes twice a day to start with.

I didn't know that you had to wash clothes - what a strange idea :-D

I am watching football - for a change

Hello Tec :-) A necessary evil having to go to the wooden leg factory. It would be so much easier if you can be transferred to the local people.

Hello Everyone, :-)

Been a lovely day here to.
My brother and SIL came for the day. Brother has been visiting once a week for several weeks now, usually doing little jobs about the place that I can no longer manage.
Today, instead of finding him a job to do, I took them out to lunch. Where we went is a beautiful location, and as it was such a beautiful day we decided to eat outside taking in the view.
It was all very nice, and they enjoyed their lunch.

Tomorrow I am back to the wooden leg factory. I think I may come home with my leg tomorrow, and be transferred to the local hospital.
I will be pleased if this happens. I was there yesterday, and as it's nearly a four hour round trip on top of what I have to do there, I am finding it a bit tiring.
I could have done without going tomorrow, but each visit is progress.
