First topic message reminder :

Morning Bond
They say there is Snow/Rain showers in some towns
that will change over to ALL rain later at least its warmer

Vicky hope you have written down WHO gets WHAT
after your gone with your goodies then as you have it seems
some priceless items
I remember when you showed us the painting ....

I have nothing worth much so will not be a problem
I shall leave as I arrived in this world with NAUGHT

Looking like I have another to do mostly Blaine's
as Spencer washes his own I do not mind doing it its the stairs
that are killing me these days as the Gel is NOT working which I will tell her
when I go Feb 22

Any way not a lot of news this morning so I shall look in later

Hope the ladies had a good night
Cannot wait to hear what your Dr's office said Marge Metropol
is what Blaine takes after his aneurysm to keep his BP in check

Just found this on them ,plus there are different ones

Hebe Burgundy Blush

Common Pests and Plant Diseases

Aphids and spider mites find this plant quite tasty.
Take care of that problem with horticultural oil or an organic insecticide.
Fungal issues might arise if the plant is too wet. Remedy this by keeping good air circulation around the shrub and keeping the soil moist, but not overly wet.

Here end'th my two pennyworth

Those are different Bond never saw them
before how tall do they grow then ?

Talking of Blossoms
these were some of my trees in the old garden
They reminded me of the Swiffer brushes
So GORGEOUS

Hi Carole,l knew you would ask that so new avatar 
Just going out on the garden to scatter the stones 
Back later

Morning Bond
yes looks dry today for you but a possible shower later
so if you get the two bushes in that will be good getting
them watered by natural rain fall √
What kind of bushes are they will they grow taller than the Yucca  

We also should have another beautiful day ,one where if I were able to
I would be out mowing my back grass as its just long enough now with
all the rain we have had to get a trim ,but I have been TOLD NOT TO DO IT
by Blaine ,only because of this STUPID KNEE of mine ,although when I was
still doing it last year he kept REMINDING ME that I was 80yrs old  
SO WHAT ? if I felt OK doing it and I took it slow  
But the knee is not any better so have to be careful  

Marge hope the pills kick in for you sooner than later  

I see your granddaughter Vicky now I am on here very pretty

Well not much news here today so will pop in later on to catch up

I see the Boston Marathon was ran with out any incidents unlike
11 yrs ago when those two brothers set off bombs  

Allergies are kicking in as all the blossoms etc are popping

Talk about popping ,my white& pink  Xmas /Easter cactuses  that I merged
together that USED to BLOOM preciously but have not since I merged them
have NOW decided to give me 4 blooms   ,well the WHITE ONE
so MAYBE this will be the start
When I go see Fran she has plants around her salon and two are Cactuses
and I wish you could have SEEN THEM ABSOLUTELY LOADED with pink flowers  
I think though its the lighting that they have all day with the florescent lighting
that makes them so BEAUTIFUL  
I know they like partial light  & a little sunlight so I only can put mine on an end table
on the side of my bay windows and cannot put them in the Bay because of a CERTAIN
CAT named Harry who like Tabitha USED to do goes after plants or flowers
where as Buddy for what ever reason does not bother with them  

Ah well  

I shall be back later

MORNING LADIES            

Good morning all from Atherstone it's a bright morning here so far with a few dark clouds drifting around on the horizon,
We bought two little bushes and two bags of Cotswold Stones (chippings) so that's my job this morning, the bushes are for Infront of the yuka that now have lost their leaves at the bottom making them at a bit leggy if they were palm trees along the beach on the west coast but they look a bit knobby in the back garden 
So breakfast cornflakes and cold milk with sliced banana 
Back later

PHEW ! THANKS I NEEDED THAT
CORRECTION
weatherman just said Bridgeport almost broke the record for
today 80f as we hit 79f

Ok ok , large lemon and lime 
Horlicks or drinking chocolate

15:54:05
Well I'm done for the day ,went back to get the eggs I forgot
Sunday ,a doz range free for $3:99 from a local farm
Made  dinner ,and even got a load of  done
Would you BELIEVE WE HIT 76F

VICKY ask David what the name of your spreading flowers are
could be Phlox
I did look out earlier mine's in patches so it's not ALL GONE
IS Bond on duty by any chance ?
I'm parched

That's really good 
Almost time for for last drinks (I remembered)

Wow......you know we were watching the ambulance call centre on the TV  and at the end when 2 of the ambulance crew were off duty  and they were eating ice creams  the boys music came on,  yes Rob knew all about it, they got royalties.

Oh yes that's so lovely,  bet people  ask  "Who did that lovely panting?"

We're watching "Coronation St"

A long tail blackcap on Pussy Willow 
Painted 1974 in watercolor 
Not selling this one not for sale I've had offers ,it's on our wall

Vicky Vicky have you seen the add for holidays or holiday insurance 
About 30 coming into a beach on surfboards not standard surfboards but the ones with the foil that lefts them out out the water but it's the music to listen to it's your lads well very much like them it's just been on again and I never caught what it's for but it sounds like them .
I've never watched EastEnders I think it was the start of the rot in the country 
It all went down hill after that program started 
Down hill the rot began

I'm watching Eastenders.

Hi all ,yes I was thinking of you 
I think it's very artistic 
Last of the summer wine is on 
Never miss

Well what a day so far.......rain, sun and hailstone.  


Yes we watched Midsummer Murders also...

As Carole says I bet you were thinking of us Bond.

Our boys  also shot the drones down Carole

Oh I've been having some  weird dreams also Carole.

Gosh I do hope your  Creeping Phlox does grow Carole I love it.   We have a blue small flower which just spreads,  David cuts it back every so often,  but I like it.   Don't ask me the name.

Trouble with the NHS Margaret is the Government give those in charge the money and they spend it as they like,  Diversity Managers who have vast Salaries,  who make sure diversity is practiced throughout the hospital, {nurses wear rainbow badges}   Hospitals also have more Managers than Nursing staff,  Managers also have vast salary's   that's the top and bottom of it.....the Government are giving the money it's just not being spent in the right way.    

Later.....oh this photo of Lily was taken this way, artistic she said. If you say so.

I think all the wet weather has finished off my Red
maple in the planter out front of the porch.
Its looking very seedy at the moment.
Its a miniature tree, only about 4 foot tall.
The planter has no source of water as it is away from the
sprinklers. It get its water from a down spout from one section
of guttering over the garage when its not watered by hand.
So its usually much dryer in that bed.
The flowers are just the opposite, blooming fit to bust!


Saw the second part of the Post Office and Mr. Bates last night.
They advertised a documentary is coming to give inkling
of how long its taken to come this far.
It proves that there is no real oversight on any of the ministries
in the government.
Which explains the mess with the running of some of the NHS
hospitals.
The ones that are functioning should be looked at to see how
they do what they are doing.
The problem is that positions cannot be filled fast enough to
bring them up to the strength they should have.
Our hospitals are mainly run by Philippian nurses.

Places that make and sell internet programs should
be held responsible for mistakes not removed before
they are sold.
The prime example now is Boeing Aircraft, no final inspections
on paper. The US government buys aircraft knowing there will be 'faults
in them to fix after they are already in active service!
In the car world we call them Lemons!

Enough of that.

Its time for breakfast here.
Took my first antidepressant pill last night.
Told to not expect any change for at least
a month.

06:40:55
Well Blaine's gone Spencer leaves at 730 am
Sun's up and just went out on my deck what ever I DO
have left growing  is starting to come up I can see the
Lily of the valley all standing tall ,another plant that
grows horizontally so needs little soil
Creeping Phlox Bond is a plant only grows about 6 inches high
but spreads so great for borders if you want something to fill
in an area and it comes in blue and  purple &  pink
So your off out again I see
Well I've made my bed ,made the boys sandwiches for tomorrow
The pork is cooking low and slow
So going to get dressed and pop to the store real quick
then will be back

Hi all Not quite afternoon here 
Of course I was thinking about you lot at bedtime with miss Vicky in her red see though shorty nighty hoe could think of anything else I was struggling to follow the plot on Mid Summer, I wish they wouldn't put two actors that look alike in the same plot,
Very confusing then red nighties on top of that I had the wrong one arrested 
The suns been out after my first post but it's gone very dark and very windy 
Off down Dobbies in a bit for our coffee and we need a bush and some stones .
Not really packing just getting the things out on the spare bed to make sure I have everything and it still fits
Nice plant or shrub Carole ️

New Avatar
My lovely Creeping Phlox that I think got wiped out
this year will know more when I see if it is coming up or not
It edged both sides of this HUGE Rock I have out back as no soil
around it a little on the sides but very shallow and being as the Phlox
roots grow HORIZONTALLY >>>>>> it was enough for them to take hold and spread

04:36:12

SURE you were THINKING about us ,poor mites sitting here
GASPING for a LAST drink before bed Bond

Sorry for the rainy day ,my weatherman is saying we are in for a
 stretch and the next rain showers  will not be until
Thursday and Saturday and temps climbing into the low 70's
Maybe I could  BLOW some dry weather over to you guys
but Bond your packing ALREADY
Its telling me Atherstone is at 44f with showers but the rest of the week
looks dry in the low 50's until Sunday when the high will be around 62f

Can see the HUGE swatch of rain you had though just passing Northampton
heading East into the North sea but Coventry is dry right now
Looking up Eastbourne for the next 10 days it looks like partly cloudy
with temps in the 50's so better take a sweater for the morning walks
but its saying no rain

Yes been watching the drones being sent to Israel most being shot down
thanks to the  Patriot missiles we have sent them in part
But what will Israel DO in retaliation is MY worry that could set off another
FREAKING WAR  as the president seems HELL bent on
killing every last Hamas before he will stop and that is why the Israelis
people with hostages are upset as he is bombing or WANTS to STILL BOMB
areas that Hamas could be holding them

Yes its funny that we all meet at the deli on a Sunday  all having the same
mind thought of getting in the store early and back home
Bob the man who I first started talking to has the same knee problem
THAT is how we started to chat and he had his operated on a couple of weeks
ago ,but unlike me his was a partial plus his Meniscus that I already had done
a few years back so he is SINGING the praises of having the operation {he is in
his early 70's} but mine will be a full replacement with an over night stay the Dr
{we have the SAME lady DR} told me dues to my age and what they will do
So I am still thinking about it before I see her next month

The Lady Kate we chat with has a Down Syndrome daughter Emily who sometimes
comes with her she is around 15 now I think and what a CHATTY young thing
she is  
Bob lives with his wife near the high school that my Grand-kids all attended
Then there is another two men who shop early whom ALL say hello

I miss Ruth SO much Vicky our trips to the Seawall especially

OK Blaine due to get up and Spencer just let the little "terror" up stairs
as he KNOCKS the DOOR to come up here in the morning
Now he is walking around looking for Buddy who has retreated to his safe
place on a chair under my  where no one can see him under
the table cloth

MORNING LADIES hope you both had a good night ,I was DREAMING
some weird dreams last night
Back later

Good morning all from a very wet Atherstone not very nice out so not going out 
Sorry about the last drinks I did think about you
It was a new Midsummer Murders then the news headlines and it was   time for bed 
I was watching the drone's and missiles 300 odd of them I was thinking those that are shooting them down and those shot down all had to fall somewhere, raining metal.
My dad used say too much sun on their heads sends them funny 
So cases down out of the roof and sort my clothes out for the holidays as it's too wet to be outside 
I don't think I will need shorts but I hope we get a chance to sit out looking at the sea eating a ice-cream.
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk 
Coffee tea and large lemon and lime 
Back later 

BOND you're not on holiday yet so where's our last drinks?

I bet he did laugh as well Carole, that's nice though that you enjoy yourselves all meeting up to have a gossip and a laugh. That's what I miss with Sylvia and Tony not being around we used to have such a laugh. When we drive by and I see where Sylvia used to stand waiting for me, and I can see her as plain as anything, she always got there early so she could have a smoke before I turned up.

Ok speak tomorrow.

Hello Vicky and thanks for your "late" note 
I do that on a Sunday to my deli if I'm not there 
at 7am   
The deli mgr and staff know myself and about three 
other 7am customers all by first name 
So if I'm not going I'll   or what I did three weeks ago when
I went a day early and LEFT my MIA NOTE with one 
of the girls who gave it the next day to the MGR who they 
told me   so hard 

Yes Vicky my Clematis was GORGEOUS I just hope it comes back 
as good as I think I lost my Creeping Phylox that used to run along 
the giant Rock on each side ,but what I can see is my Bleeding Heart 
that I threw In a small spot is also coming back up ,along with my 
Hosta that I grow in tubs 
Ok last call for night caps

Mmmm nice, my chips..        Oh this photo went purple, for some reason,  but if you blow it up a bit you'll  see Lily  reading her messages.

Just watching Adam Faith's black and white sitcom.....yes it doesn't really travel won't watch it again.

That drawing looks like the one on the American plane Bond.....Betty Grable.

Good evening all and to the late comer 
Are I see not a mirror 
I wear a ring on my wedding finger I have had a 2/- bob one for many years but since my brother died I've gone up a taner to a 2/6 half crown one ,made by my brother.hecwas a tin smith, panel beater, I've also a two headed penny he made by grinding the two tail side down and using a aro glue used on the Harrier Jump jet that he worked on in Chinns factor in Exhall he worked on some box sections that were glued? I also have a ball shilling made from two 1/- shillings from under pressure into two half balls glued together with a little link to fit onto a chain

Sorry just come in with my absent note.....excuse Vicky she's not really got a good enough excuse......but she's sorry.    

Oh I know Carole the prices go up and up.  

Oh yes I kept meaning to say how lovely your flowers are Carole....beautiful

Oh what a shame Margaret,  couldn't you get the ring fixed?      I never thought about a wedding ring for David,  in fact I wasn't going to bother with an engagement  ring,  until David's Mum said "Of cause the girl needs an engagement ring" so we went and picked one up  the following week.

That wasn't taken in the mirror Bond one of her friends took it.  in fact another friend was holding up a mobile phone to take a photo, when one of her friends took this.

Later........having oven chips, shouldn't but I am

My engagement ring came from H. Samuels as well.
Mine was from the branch on Trinity street where the
Pub/restaurant is now.
My original wedding ring came from a fancy Jewelers
down near Greyfriars green. The engagement ring had
# hearts on a twist and the wedding ring had hearts
engraved all the way around. It was a slim line ring
which did not last very long in the swimming pool
in the complex we first lived at here. Its the chlorine
you know, it changes the composition in gold! So
it cracked in two places. I still have it.
Peter went and bought me a new ring which is faceted
all around it I have never taken it off since he placed it on my finger.
I have an antique Ring with a band of 8 diamonds in a line
for our 25 th anniversary and got another ring with two diamonds
like two tulips buds over lapping which was for our 50th,
got that one in York on our anniversary trip.

Peter was not one for wearing rings but I gave him a signet ring
with a small diamond in the middle which much later which had to be cut off
his finger after taking a baseball very hard in the hand which made his
ring finger swell. It was neatly done so a jeweler could have mended it but
he was so involved with work that he said he would do it later but
he forgot about it. I still have it.
Sometime during his MS disease I think he looked for the signet ring
without telling me. Instead he bought himself a platinum ring to wear
as a wedding ring But I told him, That that boat had sailed and I didn't
care anymore.
Peter had always been a romantic and I don't know what was going through his mind
to do that. It had no loving attachment to it.

Peter would surprise me with some nice jewelry occasionally when
the mood struck him. I never expected any of it, but out of the blue on Christmas,
my birthday or our wedding anniversary I would receive something that he had
picked out in a jewelry store.
I joked that it took 50 years to get my service stripes! (Meaning the anniversary
rings)
This was the young man who came shopping with me in the precinct on a Saturday
and disappeared for a few minutes and came back with a single rose from
the florist shop. He would take me to the round cafe for a coffee and doughnut
both smothered in whipped cream!
As a student and trainee he was not making very much money so tried to go Dutch but
he wouldn't have it.
I found out much later that he had sold all his sports equipment from his boarding school days
in Germany. He even sold his WW II 98cc motorbike and took to riding a regular bike
Just so he could take me dancing or to see a film.
I felt so guilty when I finally found out years and years later.
(One of his friends told me in front of him) I had no idea!
A man of many secrets!
Just wish he had told me where he put our wedding album!
I fear he put it in the rubbish bin.
His Dad gave the same treatment to his Flying logs which
we would loved to have had.
I do have some odd photos from the album so i do have something.
Time for breakfast here and I think Liverpool are playing at the moment.

10:12:02
Been come back ,Spencer carried the bags up for me 
then went back to bed 
Still spent $100 even sticking to my list of MUST haves 
and still forgot I needed doz eggs and  a  roll of pastry 
as I'm making Burger bombs one day this week 
Also picked up some green peppers that were on sale to make stuffed 
peppers
Watching my recorded programs right now 

Back later   and the SUNS OUT 

Hi Carole,it's a lovely afternoon here when the sun's out as it is now but goes cool quickly 
I got all my jobs done this morning so it's sit and read this afternoon 
I been meaning to say haw colourful the clematis is ours is full of buds all ready to burst out the same with the bush at the top here
 it will all be very colourful just before we go away 
If we have as many apples as blossoms that will be loaded as the tree is a mass of blossom 
Johns just been over to bring and collect the ironing 
It must be going to be a fine day as he's got the white rocket out of the garage 
His pride and joy a Honda Civic type S sport with a air down force blade on the back and four tail pipes at the back, 
Some would say ugly but he thinks it's beautiful 
Afternoon tea over here with some warm bread pudding with custard 
Back later

05:22:49

Tried to get a sleep in today but have been awake lying in my bed
THINKING ,so got up cleaned the cat boxes fed Buddy gave fresh
water in the bowls made my and here I be
Have no choice but to make a run to the as there
are things I MUST get ,GOD I HATE penny pinching
sorry to be complaining but it was NOT ALWAYS this way

Ah well ....
Glad your weather is looking good Bond ,we are in the 40's here right now
should see 60's later but still cloudy like it was yesterday
I am being told your at 51f but feeling like 48f right now your highs only in the 50's
with more clouds later than sun so if its SUNNY make the MOST of it as you
also have over night showers coming and Monday LOOKS WET but dry the
rest of the week

Yes Vicky your Granddaughters both are very pretty

Had a quick text from David thanking me for the birthday wishes so at least
he saw it

Wendy and I were both remarking what a sad thing it is as BOTH our families
are so dysfunctional,Chelsea is friends with me on FB but never reaches out
only see Brittany very rarely since she had Khai {which I understand ,but as Spencer
has found out the only time she reaches out to HIM is when SHE NEEDS
SOMETHING
David keeps in touch on holidays ,being so far away now not popping up to our State
like he used to do
Wendy has the same problem her daughter moved with a man who CONTROLS
her and she and her son have cut ties with her parents completely
Antony IS or should say coming around now with HIS 4 children having been
put into foster care after his wife died and because of his PTSD could not
care for them ,now Wendy has Callum living with her ,but they do not speak to
the oldest child a girl who it seems got herself pregnant and the two youngest
are still with foster parents

We believe its a pattern but NOT of our choosing
So those with NORMAL families THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS

OK I need to go get ready

Back later MORNING LADIES

Good morning all from Atherstone it's a bright morning here with clear blue skies and no wind so fingers crossed we may be able to sit out later .
I have some work outside first , tidy up around the BBQ area getting ready for the summer 
That looks like a Facebook photo,you do see a lot of them taken into a mirror 
She does take a good photo,
So breakfast and it's toasted crumpets 
Drinks tea coffee and a large lemon and lime 
Back later

Please to the horlicks Bond.

I'll speak tomorrow.

Hi all ,it's like when did go to sell some at a art shop they only wanted to give me half of those prices as they wanted to make 50% profit so he would only pay £25 for ones I was selling in the wine bar for  almost twice that but the wine bar closed 
I got the tux's from charity shops but the one mrsb wouldn't let me buy looked like it belonged to a band leader or the Cisco Kid lovely silk embroidery 
Horlicks missy

You're like Susan's MIL we used to see better work which Shirley does in Gallery's  for high prices but she always said "Nobody would buy my work"  but they would, honest she's got the loft full of work she could sell,   on her stairs in the hall  she's got paintings  which I just love,  people would buy them, but Shirley just laughs.  even though people have asked her to paint various things for them or for a present for someone.     She did the poppy one for us because she'd done a few and I had said how lovely they were, so Susan arrived with the painting you've seen,  and then she did the church Susan and Matt were married in for us,  and then one of Benjie.   but she would accept any payment.  

It's good you can get into a tux then.....and you've signed up to our agency.  

We bought my rings at Samuels in Bolton Carole.

Oh btw terrible about the stabbing in Australia, one a 9 month old, who's in hospital, had to have some sort of Operation, but the mother died, along with 5 others the man with the knife was shot dead by a policewoman.

Vicky my first wedding ring and engagement ring bought 
in Samuels jewelry on Trinity st Coventry cost Gil 
£23 for both back in 1959 
No I would never sell this wedding ring ,my mum had my old ones 
after we divorced 
I have Gils  that I bought him when we remarried I wear on my middle finger
I had it engraved with the following 

C & G -11-28-59-C&G -6-1-97-Together again 

(Both wedding dates )
It would have gone with him when he passed except that he had 
taken it off as it had gotten too tight so was in my jewelry case 

Have a good night

Hello you , funny you saying about a Tux I had to get my one out to see it still fits 
My one I have three ,I found the double breasted a bit tight well I was told it looked a bit tight 
So the single breasted one is the one ,I need it for the Leading Players " Oscar" night with the production of their documentary, disability through the leens
They usually went for £ 40 some £35 some £45 depending on the work but I was never going to get rich

My wedding ring was £9  my engagement ring was £19......though David does say  "That was expensive in those days"  well I know my cousin Carol had a antique engagement  and it was £400, she was engaged a couple of years before me.    Bu David wasn't on high wages, well that's what he told me     But anyway you can't  sell your wedding ring         we could sell Bond, no can't do that, Ah got it  he can be an Escort.....tips he can keep but the rest is yours  now why didn't I think of that before.....he's got a tux,    Carole your money worries are over.    Bond just sign here.........dot dot dot.    

Oh I had a jammy doughnut with pink incing on today.

They've cut the number of horses in the Grand National than it used to be  Margaret  it's 34 now. .....it gets me when a horse breaks a leg, which could be fixed, but they shoot it,    rather than pay money to the Vet. That is sad, if it's not running then it's not worth anything,   but they could sell it,  one of the "Horse and Donkey Rescue Sanctuary"  would have it, no need to shoot it.

Haven't had a fruit and nut for a while Margaret,  Steve used to give his Dad one every year but he hasn't for ages.

How much did you sell it for Bond?

Good evening all a nice evening here a nice bit of sunshine,now warm enough to sit out now the sun's gone off the back patio but it was nice when it lasted 
I managed to finish my book by Jessie Keane and started her next one 
Again about the Soho gang land , stripper's,massage parlours, glitter and glamorous ladies.
Avatar this was a seller I sold one in the local wine bar and someone else want the same thing again so a easy one

I did not count the rioters who had heart attacks!
One police officer was sprayed directly in the face with
what was thought to be a bear repellent but was some
homemade mixture that poisoned him and he died
a few days later.
A lot of those Capitol Police were military veterans
so not like rent a cops.


Notice another government department hitting the news
over there. Its the DWP and unpaid carers.
They are a bunch of gangsters!
Too complicated for me to explain but daylight robbery
again.

I am feeling so much better NOT taking the Lisinopril
for BP.
I did manage to get my hair cut , I was the last customer
of the day.
I have appointments for some on the phone counseling.
( I am doing that to please my doctor)

I can now go ahead and schedule another dental X ray in four weeks
time. I now need to contact the Termite inspector or at least send him
a check to keep my policy up to date.
I also have an approval for a visit to a foot doctor that is good until July.
Need to renew my American Passport also. Have no plans to travel
but you never know.

Spring is a time for renewal they say. I need to get some work done
on the garden. The hillside weed bushes need cutting back again.
All that rain made them grow twice as tall as they were.
The dune grass is taking over both back and front.
Right now I have several flower clusters in bloom. A white one ,a
pink one and a deep red almost purple one. They are a daisy like flower.
i need to get the pots ready for planting. Have not done that in
3 years! Two on the front steps and at least 4 out in the back.
Now I am just going to enjoy feeling normal again for the week end.
TTFN XXX












Been watching a couple of Prem games on TV.
we have showers due today so its pretty drab outside.

I came away with some Goodies from the Import Place that
now calls itself World Market.
Lots of Cadbury items. (I went in there for my Yorkshire Gold
Tea bags.) could not resist a few items like Fruit and Nut bars
also two Aero bars and some biscuits , lemon creams and shortbread.
I also got some marmalade jam.
Do not like the American version.

I think they let too many horses in that steeple chase.

12:30:43
Hello Vicky ,millionaire @ maybe on what Bond has to give
not my belongings THAT'S for certain ,left leg though

things ,my wedding ring only cost $200

Well my boys are sleeping the day away ,Spencer rolled home
at 6am after being up all night as when he goes to his friends house

I could REALLY go for a slice of chocolate custard cake or a donut
with the custard filling and chocolate frosting on top
Have to see if I can squeeze one out tomorrow when I go shopping
for the few things I need to get

Ok dry here but cloudy and breezy

I'll look in later

See you've loads of ways you can get money, and Bond no it has to be just shorts, with boots and a belt with tools.....I can see it now, yes yes I know you're just painting a few rooms but a man with a tool belt..... and some of your paintings, it's all for a good cause. we'll make you a millionaire yet Carole.

Good afternoon over here it's almost 3:00 
So had enough for today,cut the grass,cut the tops of some bushes down (no nests ) and raked some of the old leaves from the bunch of Yukas,that's like wrestling with a wild cat 
So it's in now coffee and a Belgian bun cream cake 
Its nice enough to sit out with a jumper on but another day 
Grand National today but I won't bother watching it ,two horses had to be put down yesterday after a fall ,
Back later 
Coffee tea and a large lemon and lime 🥤

So your off to MOW your MEADOW AGAIN I see ,do you ever let it grow higher
than "SHORT BACK N SIDES" length

Spencer stayed out last night ,and I am not sure WHO it was DIVE BOMBING
my bed at 130am Buddy or Harry ,but I have a bit of a HEADACHE being woken
like that ,its like they THROW them selves at my BED then BOUNCE OFF again
Got up at 415am and fed Buddy who is now sleeping in the little box under
my but so far Harry has not showed up so he may be down stairs

Weather here 51f but feels like 47f showers later this afternoon
Atherstone 54f feels like 50f with rain likely Sunday during the night its telling me
Plymouth the same as you Bond so Wendy will be happy she can

Hope the ladies had a good night then ,not going any where today ,have to get
a low beam bulb for my passenger side head light that I noticed was OUT yesterday
My runs with daylight running lights good JOB I do not go out at night
otherwise they would be ON DOUBLE TIME ,but another bill I do not NEED

Ah well story of my life right now

Back later

Save us a batch please

Good morning all from Atherstone a bit of a grey morning here but no rain so out to cut the grass later 
I would wear my apron and  boots  so a full moon talking of full moon I see Bonnie Tyler is expecting to make £1 ooo.ooo from total eclipse of the heart that was being played all over America and other places last  week
I have a lot of things I could and should sell but the junk shop I had lined up has closed so just sit and look at them ,
So breakfast and it's cornflakes before the bacon and mushrooms batches later 
Kettles on lovely smell of coffee in the kitchen 
Back later

no nothing to sell Vicky
Might have said my body ,but no more

That made me though thinking of Bond
so thanks for the chuckle

Yes I can see your granddaughter now very pretty

See you tomorrow

Hi Vicky I can see her now ,what a beautiful young lady stunning 
The best toy that Emmett plays with when he comes is the Transformer Optimus Prime 
From back when his uncle John was a lad  ,could fetch £150 if in the box even more 
I have a roof full of paintings somewhere very tastefull nudes .
Horlicks for you princess, who's taped up your letter box

It doesn't have to be something of value  Carole,   There is a saying "One  man's junk is another man's valuables"  I don't think that is right but you know what I mean....oh Carole there must be something, if Bond was near you I'd suggest we auction Bind out to paint a room or two,  we'd have those hands going up,  specially when we say "Just wearing his shorts" and boots Bond it has to be boots.

Any old toys Carole........old toys are worth a lot.

   David.

Pastry Bond?   So I can't invite you in for a slice of my Apple Pie......what about apple grumble?

And me too Carole, pill for reflux......Bond get thee to a doctor,  fingers and heartburn.

Horlick's for me Bond.....please,      So no lovely grand daughter  Bond?         Oh can you see her Carole.?

Hi Carole,I typed in Hosta and it told me it was spelt wrong 
Right large lemon and lime

Bond are you talking about Hosta ,mine are all up in my tubs
gone from how yours look ( purple fingers) to green shoots
but I do not have a problem with slugs ,it's the Dear who jump
the wall behind us and snack on ONLY my Hosta's ,so I bought
a couple of years back a spray from Home Depot that I use and it
works a treat ,but I have to remember to re-spray them after it rains

As to your heart burn maybe you need a pill like Marge and I take
for reflux
I'll take a large L & L PLEASE
