JulesB Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I don't know him either Alex Lovely sunny morning here, I have had my breakfast in the garden. We had a restful four days of pottering about planned but the ancient MIL came out of hospital yesterday and her carer has gone on holiday without arranging any cover so we are driving down to stay with her. I'm a bit cockly about changing wet knickers and putting people on the toilet etc but I will just have to man up and get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Lot cooler here today. We had a thunderstorm and then heavy rain last night. It all kicked off just as I went indoors for my tea, so very decent of it. Cleared a whole area of the garden that hasn't been touched for a while. Back is aching this morning. Getting my hair cut and then cleaning the house today. No idea who that is Alex and still wondering who Steve Jardine is. Mind you I've also discovered I've no idea who Karen Lawe is. Hope you're better now Marge Jules that's appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndzrus Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 It really is too nice to be stuck in a dark room all day testing eyes hope it's not too bad in there jules, not an easy task, but very much needed. I have just made a sponge cake, it smells lovely, but I'm not hungry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndzrus Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Getting my hair cut I had mine done yesterday, took ages and I missed most of the good weather too Thanks everyone, I am doing ok (fingers crossed).

zico's mum Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Tis glorious here today.Duncan sliced his paw very badly on some broken glass on Monday - in local fields so we're very restricted where we can go in this wonderful weather.I've been going over to the park just 2 doors down,it has a stream and lots of shade,Trixie amuses herself chasing squirrels or paddling while Duncan sits chewing up tennis balls but how I miss my lovely long walks,and I hate having him on lead all the time.It is healing so hopefully next week he can come off-lead.Car is all packed for my first Oldies Club stall at Crewkerne tomorrow,well except for chocolate goodies which will go in tomorrow morning.

Awww, poor Duncan. Hope that his paw heals up quickly. There seems to be a lot of broken glass around at the moment, but it's so difficult to spot until it's too late. I have a bag of almost 30 tennis balls which I sorted out thinking that you could use them for your Oldies Club stall, but now that I've weighed them it looks like the cost of posting them would be huge . My weather station has had another glitch and tells me that we had 179.4mm of rain yesterday, I can't say that I noticed even a single drop unfortunately.

zico's mum Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Cost of posting tennis balls is horrendous but thanks so much for thinking of me.Where are you in case anyone else in OC can use them and collect? I've an ebay seller who lives in next street so I watch for when he has them listed and collect myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Lovely sunny morning here, I have had my breakfast in the garden. We had a restful four days of pottering about planned but the ancient MIL came out of hospital yesterday and her carer has gone on holiday without arranging any cover so we are driving down to stay with her. I'm a bit cockly about changing wet knickers and putting people on the toilet etc but I will just have to man up and get on with it. That's not fair I have been doing gardening type stuff.

Karen Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'm in Surrey, not that far from Thorpe Park if anyone is travelling that way. Rosie's last batch of found balls went to a ball-mad border terrier a few miles away, but it would be great if the current lot could help raise some money for a good cause.

zico's mum Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Well a ball loving Border Terrier is a good cause in my eyes but don't know of anyone in that area sadly,don't suppose you are coming to the camping weekend..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Got the doglets their Easter Eggs. Nice and cool out there so will be more fun for them while out later.

Karen Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Karen don't suppose you homecheck and live anywhere near Weybridge? I'm only a couple of miles from Weybridge but it is a few years since I last did a dog homecheck. I regularly do rabbit and guinea pig ones though! If you need a check done and can give me your guide lines I would be happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Jazz has found out where Shady is living in a garden with old hen houses and got quite close to her, but a noisy loud person came along and Shady hid. Trap needed asap, and there is no DW cover today so they can't help. A large cat trap might do the trick. Doglost has traps but nothing near Harlow as far as I remember.
