Be glad you haven't got staffies then. My lot think they're lap dogs and you feel every kilo of their 22kg when they plonk themselves on you lol

That read like you wanted to cut their throats 🤣My lot can be very noisy at times but I've never gone that far lol

Good morning all on this Bank Holiday Monday. Not that it makes much difference to me since I retired. Not got any particular plans but will probably go and buy some plants and do some more work in the garden. Anyone doing anything nice?

Hope you got Wispa out somewhere nice Owl That was good of Lewis to put your fencing up Jazz. Hope your stomach is better soon and you get your shopping sorted. I rarely do an online food shop, we couldnt in Dunoon so I got out of the habit, but we have rediscovered Iceland and some of their special offers are online only so we do order from them. After a week of warm and sunny weather we are back to rain today. I guess the garden needed it but I didn't! It's very mild though and I took a chance and planted out some sweet peas and dwarf lupins the other day and they seem to be doing well. I have lots of spares though in case they fail. Hope everyone has a lovely bank holiday weekend.

Think old age has galloped up om me Jazz lol. Pleased Wispa had the day she wanted Owl and enjoyed it. Hope she has many more days like it xx

The joys of being short lol, I sympathise Jazz. Did you get the foster's scan rebooked? Had another day pottering in the garden. Very sunny but quite a chilly breeze. Fine for digging holes for planting though. Still a long way to go till the garden looks anything like I want it to, but getting there slowly. Loads to do in the house too but I can't be indoors when the weather's good so that can wait. Being in the west of Scotland I'm sure there's plenty wet days to come. Hope everyone is well and getting some sunny weather too.

Hope you're feeling better now Jazz. Another lovely warm sunny day here. Planted out a couple of rhododendrons and a camellia - just got to stop the hooligans trampling on them now! Another sunny day forecast for tomorrow 😊

How is Wispa today, Owl?

fingers crossed Wispa feels better very soon. Thank you for my birthday wishes. I had a trip to a garden centre and got some lovely plants as my pressie from Richard and we had lunch there as well. Lovely day so far

I don't know how you do it Jazz, but it's so good you do Been an unexpectedly warm and sunny day here. Got some garden stuff done, potted up some sunflowers and got the mini greenhouse set up and filled up with plants that have been growing on in the conservatory. It's full already!

So, Jazz, totally lost again.Who is in your gang now lol? Is Pippa the one with the spectacular ears?

What a nightmare Jazz

Sounds like a wonderful walk Owl. Does you the world of good. Thanks for the foster update Jazz. I don't know how you do it. I have nothing of interest to report. The weather is dull and grey and I have been doing housework. Meh.

Oh no Owl, you're really having a bad time of it. Wish you better soon. I have spent most of today potting up seedlings and there's still what looks like hundreds to go. I always underestimate how many will germinate and plant too many. Meant be a nice day tomorrow so will hopefully get some time in the garden. Get stir crazy if I spend too much time indoors lol

Asda is my local shop but I don't like it. My branch is always poorly stocked and looks a mess. There's a Tesco and a Morrisons fairly near and they're always better stocked. I prefer shopping there Do you still buy from Zooplus Jazz? All the stuff I've bought regularly for the dogs for years has been out of stock for months - I wonder if they'll survive

Yay for no mice Jazz. Nice day here if a tad chilly. Richard has gone to football with his son so I have the house to myself for a few hours. think I'll plant some more seeds - still have a bit of room left on the conservatory window sills lol. Glad the fosters are settled Jazz - how long are they here for?

How are the new fosters settling in Jazz? Hope you feel better soon Owl That's interesting about the immunity Blackmagic. I did wonder if I had some form of natural immunity as I never catch anything despite being in contact with people with covid or flu . The worst thing I ever get is a cold

Hi to CRB and welcome to Adi- what a cutie. I've been decorating the living room today and it's totally wiped me out, going feeble in my old age lol

Hope you're better soon Jazz. Hot here today. 20c in Scotland in March and felt even warmer than that! Same again due tomorrow. Got a streaming cold so I think I'll just sit in the garden and soak up the sun as it's due to turn colder next week. Should be doing lots of stuff but that can wait lol

Happy birthday Mouse

They'll probably go back whichever way they came in Jazz. Fingers crossed it works for you. Ive got a 'sentry box' type mini greenhouse Blackmagic but it doesn't seem to hold a lot of plants so I'll have a look at the pop up type. Saw one in B&M the other day which looked reasonable. Another warm and sunny day here today. Don't know how long it will last but it's cheering me up just now. Hope you've all got the same

True Blackmagic, mice prefer chocolate to cheese. Just go straight to the sonic deterrent Jazz - it really works. Been absolutely gorgeous here today, warm and sunny, no jacket required lol. Meant to be even warmer over the next few days, good for body, mind and soul 😊 I planted out a magnolia and some foxgloves. I'm itching to plant out so many others that I've got growing on in the conservatory but I know it's too early. Still contemplating whether to get a greenhouse or not. It's not a very big garden though and I'm reluctant to sacrifice any more space. Richard doesn't mind me taking over the conservatory and kitchen window ledges with seeds and plants so I might just carry on with that for now

Meant to say, sorry for Lewis' girlfriend - and Lewis - he'll be hurting too

Aw, poor Kevin, hope he's back home with you tomorrow. I agree with Blackmagic re the sonic mouse deterrents. They really do work Jazz - we used them when we lived in France and they solved the problem. The dogs we had then didn't even seem to notice them lol. Though Kai was good at killing rats.

Everything crossed Kevin's dental goes smoothly and hope you manage some sleep. Hope everyone is well
