Good morning Folks, looks like we are going to have a wet day here today, raining just now, not heavy but enough to save me from having to try digging out roots of the bushes that have been cut down, oh boy a rest, I have from now till grandsons go to school to think of something that will avoid having to do some housework. Well enjoy the day whatever you do, bye

Good morning all.
Nice start to the day here. Forecast is for sun, so that's nice.
Picked two bowls of tomatoes last night, not that many left to go. For some reason ours have ripened really well.
Off out to lunch with 3 friends from the charity shop. Have no idea where we are going, just know it's a 12 o clock start.
I am having my hair cut later on as well, so a full afternoon.
The GG comes back from Poland tomorrow, cannot wait to see her and hear about her adventure
Have a lovely day folks

[Sheneval]

It's been young son's last day of school summer hols today .......
Now, I have mentioned to him to 'get his bag ready' put PE kit together, put new bus pass into his wallet etc etc .......but, I know, I just know, come tomorrow morning, he'll be wandering around like a mole just emerging from beneath the ground ~ dark-eyed and a bit grumpy... and there will be something that he's forgotten to do until two minutes before due to leave for his bus .....

That's my eldest grandson every morning I pick him up to take him to school and the other two look like they are following in his footsteps

[Jay22]

Morning all, nice morning this morning, hopefully it will get better as the day goes on. Was allowed a long lie this morning which was lovely but had to force myself out of bed...is that cuppa still going Scarlet?
Hope you all have a lovely day.

Good afternoon Folks, not done much today, there has been a bit of a wind blowing, one of them more than a breeze but less than a strong winds, (great for drying, I have been told) took OH down to Troon to see SiL who had been ill, and passed through some heavy showers on the way, so got moaned at about the washing getting soaked, I had nothing to do with it, but I still think I was getting the blame, then back home to pick up the boy's from school, wife now watching younger two and I am the older twos house getting defended by tv blasting out noise, they are up in their bedrooms every time I turn down the sound one will come down sitting and watch the telly for a couple of minutes then disappear again leaving the sound back up, I think I will just turnoff the hearing aid, I was about to go and read a garden magazine but one of those rascals have moved/hidden it, I am off to find it now, may be on later, bye

Had a nice lunch out with friends, but the real reason we were summoned was told right at the beginning. Our dear friend M who is recovering from her second fight with bowel cancer, told us that it had spread to her brain. What a blow, right out of the blue.
Anyway, we picked ourselves up and went on to have a giggle
Hairs been cut and blow dried, so just got dinner to cook.
Sausages, with home grown spuds, carrots, runners and onions. Just trying to think if I can sneak in a few tomatoes .....

[Scarlet]

So sorry to hear that news Sally sending you some hugs. xx

[Sheneval]

Off to Troon Chess Club prize giving shortly - eldest grandson will pick up his League Winner's and Best 'C' Team Player Award - when he was playing for Stewarton last year they won the League as well - hope he keeps up that standard in future

[SusieG]

Sorry for your friend's awful news, Sally ...... at least she has got a circle of friends that can support her ..............

Today's bargain buckets

Evenin' all
Another lovely day - the last for August ........eeeek ~ where'd that go......??
I managed to squeeze in another trip down to the tip before work this morning...the pile of leylandi is v e r y s l o w l y going down .......
The usual 'household waste recycling centre' is closed on. Wednesday, so I went to one a few miles down the road - near to a M0rris0*s - so I thought I'd sidle in and see if they had any of their legendary flower buckets going for grabs.

Woohoo - lucky me - there were two stacks of 8 buckets - 99p for the 8 - so I had them both. A happy girl with a bargain

Whilst there, decided to whizz around B & m - I needed some jars/glass containers so I can store some preserves made with my produce. And was really pleased to pick up some medium-sized kilner jars for £1.49 and 3 smaller ones for £2.99 for the set of three ..... All set to do a bit tomorrow morning to get them filled with tasty home produced pickle/chutney etc !!!
