Hi Jax! "Pootling" is a good word to describe what I've been doing! A little housework, a little gardening, a lot of resting. Back to work tomorrow after 11 days, so a reality check I'm afraid. Another BH to look forward to in a few weeks time. Good to hear of your celebration BTW and that you're encouraging the therapy with your OH.

Potting up Peppers, sowing even more Radish, fighting the weeds in the Onion patch, watching in amazement at the growth of my Toms!!! But most of all keeping of the roads!

Been pootling like Flo. Had two of the grandsons for sleepovers (separately thank goodness). Just back from the lottie where I managed to break one of the tines off my stainless steel fork

My own fault for trying to use it as a lever

Nowt much really:-

Knocked a wall down
Filled a skip
Loads of gardening
Chook wars with Sid!
Took the dog swimming
And to top it off, expanded the bank holiday to go trout fishing tomorrow when it quietens down!

Went with Fi and Angie (Selfraising) to the Grow Your Own show at Loseley, Guildford. Had a great morning out, the best bacon butty ever, spent a bit of money and then come home. We had coffee in the garden and then I showed of the allotment. They have now gone home and I am pootling in the garden too, just come in for a cuppa before going back out. All together a lovely day.

I have spent the BH doing gardening stuff, got 3 snazzy working cameras at a boot fair this morning for 50p each [Kodak Brownie, A 1951 Italian one and another Box camera which is fully loaded and ready for tonight's photo session at Elvaston Castle], potting on toms and peppers and selecting which ones to give away this week [friends, MR Z's friends, work and school], watering the seeds at the lottie [poor things], and mainly trying to find out whether tomorrow's early meeting is on and I've just found out it isn't - WAHEY!!! So I can get off to Cov and do some [more] gardening - yippee!

In between sobbing my socks off (I'm an employer) I have been in the garden 'doing a bit', then a glass of wine, then a bit more 'doing a bit'.

SWMBO was at work this morning so for 'brownie points' do the washing up, hoover and general tidy round, get the tea ready and finally greet her at the door with a.........glass of wine.

Spent Sat in the garden pootling
Sunday watching eldest son pull a truck and lift a car for charity!
Went to the Losely GYO show with a pair of nutters and met a man who looked like Seth from Emmerdale

Bimbled around, cleaned out Chickens, planted some spuds, chased escaped Horses for three miles, swore a lot, caught Horses, mended fences, planted some more spuds, did some Laundry, walked Puppy, pootled around, chatted with friends, planted some more spuds, played with Puppy, and had a couple of BBQs.

We went to see a Medieval re enactment thing at a local castle today...when my friend called this morning to ask if we fancied it I came very close to saying 'No Thanks'...had a day at the lottie planned...really pleased we went,had a great time.
Yesterday we went to the zoo,Saturday was meant to be lottie day but Boy had a nasty fall off of his bike so I had to wait til he recovered and just got a few hours.
Friday we watched the Royal wedding in the morning and spent the afternoon preparing for a street party.....aaaargh...what am I turning into?!

**Newton** · 02-05-2011, 08:33 PM

Been canal boating with good friennds good food and good wine...soooo relaxing chugging along at 2mph on the Leeds Liverpool in thecsunshine.

Worried that my blowaways left half open for the entire weekend had blown away. Thankfully they hadn't.

Alls well in the garden. My first chilli fruit is over an inch long. Yippee.
