Keep it up Bramble. I think walking is the best exercise there is, especially as we get a little more mature

Week six

Due to a small windfall, today I was able to go to town and pay five outstanding bills, such a relief that burden is lifted I hope this counts, it certainly feels like an achievement!

Oh I wonder why the edit came up as a new post? My fault probably!

Week 6

I started the week not knowing what to do ..............then it all fell into place.

Problem :-
One muddy lawn with very little surviving grass &
3 very energetic dogs that like to chase around on the "lawn", get muddy feet and bring the mud into the kitchen.

Solution - build a puppy playground

Using:
A pile of wood chippings from next door's conifers
Several rounds of ash tree



Result :-
Happy and relatively clean dogs that smell of pine
Far less grass to mow in summer.
I can peg out the washing without sliding in mud

All in all, well pleased with this week's challenge

I have been trying to learn The Entertainer on the piano for years and years! I gave up and decided it was too difficult but recently I resumed battle and now I just have to learn the last few bars, I can't quite believe it as I was convinced I couldn't do it. Now, sadly for my family I can hammer my way through the lot, well by the end of week seven I will be able to anyway

Week eight, some of you may remember that totally un-environmentally friendly people bought my dads house next door, they plan to chop down mums lovely trees not to mention spraying the meadow (which I will fight) so I decided to use the bit of money dad left me to buy a proper native, fruiting hedgerow to screen off the horrible goings on next door and give something back to nature and the birds also my parents were extremely environmentally friendly so it will be a lasting, living tribute to them. The hedge arrived last Friday and my challenge this week is to plant it!
