Good morning everyone on an all things bright and beautiful and wonderfully quiet start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. Girl In The Bubble brought home a sunflower in a little pot from pre-school yesterday. Quite leggy as the very clever teacher had kept them inside and on a window ledge. Still, we set about finding a cane and some garden wire and carefully placed it in the garden in “a nice place”. Some bushes trimmed and I think that there are wasps nesting in a low conifer - wide berth. Girl In The Bubble having a supervised go with secateurs as well as using her mini garden tools. Off down to Brum this morning for a treble dose of grandchildren, what fun. The Prime Minature and Sir Fear Karma seem to be dashing about, cashing in their carbon offsets. Luckily Nigel Mirrage has sniffed out some lucrative position as beer tasting advisor to the orange-turd in a display of compassion to the voting public and Gove has quit in order to learn the didgerydoo. A cure for not only snoring it seems. Art bit - oh wow - some trees! Hope your day is a Saturday. I ought to have some koffy and pack a bag.

I love all your trees @dunelm
Have a good weekend....
 
6.6 for facup final footie from faraway foreign (you know what I mean) field.
C'mon the team from mancland.
Busy morning, so I can relax later in front of square box. That is unless #8 arrives.
#7 has gymnastics, so he might.

I wanted to do some garden stuff, however the weather coming from snowdon, in Welsh Wales, land of genn, is cool, touch windy, cloudy, not much sunshine. Had a touch of rain but only spitting. Watching cricket from man's land whilst doing this, more sunny than here.
The weeds are amassing cos of the rain lately.
And of course the grass needs attention but too wet.

I'm amazed at the noise the variety of birds are making, the sparrows, starlings, gulls, pigeons, blackbirds, crows and probably more, are more noisy than the crowd at the nearby stadium usually make on a match day.
Somethings got them going.

Be back later.

I have read or seen that one of the reasons for calling election, is that more than 200k households will receive some bad mortgage news july/August.
And that fishi rishi FiL is happy to be in receipt of some nice contracts, thanks to our titanic disaster pm. And of course, the rats leaving the drowning pie miniature, with the effluent from the water companies, spilling onto the deck chairs of the tory shipwreck of our country.
 
Just back from outback, with #7 & #8 and playing ball with other neighbours children. Good fun.
#7 is flourishing with gymnastics. Done an Arab spring then into forward roll to standing balance.
then hand stand into spin and cartwheels.
#7 also has a new pet.
anyone guess?
I wouldn't imagine it if I tried.
#8 is showing talent in footie and disobedient. So much like his dad.

One dayer won.
Facup a shock!
And a lancs team getting beat again.

Ham hock soon.

Have a lovely weekend.
My best wishes to you all on this nice Saturday evening.
 
Good evening all. @dunelm I hope the trip to Brum went well and thank you for sharing your art. @gennepher thank you for sharing the video and amazing kaleidoscope. @Lamont D you must be proud of all those grandchildren. #7 sounds as though she has real talent and #8 sounds like quite a character. @Annb good news on the clearance. @Krystyna23040 enjoy the break. I imagine Mr K rolling his eyes at a packing list. I went to a 5th birthday party - I drank tea, no food (no jelly or ice cream in sight, not sophisticated enough) - then I watched the rugby. Still to watch the cricket and cup final - thanks to @Lamont D I now know the results. Hope you all had a good Saturday.

Our magpies have been kicking up a racket too @Lamont D. Perhaps there's a predator on the prowl and they're raising the alarm.

Indeed @Lamont D, this looks a lot like damage limitation; an excuse to shelve his morally bankrupt and expensive Rwanda deportation scheme which was doomed to failure, while preventing his own ministers and MPs calling for a leadership contest.

Then again, perhaps spending more time with his family looks attractive, after all he doesn't need the money, does he?

Good morning everyone on a damp start to the day here in The Midlands. Canal walks and woodland trails yesterday afternoon with family. A bit too hot for my liking on the 4 mile meander but never mind, the grandchildren made great use of low lying yet sturdy branches to swing from and a halfway found children’s play area became hit of the day thanks to dad’s good planning. The twins are fearless and headed straight to the monkey bars. Little Miss Pamplemouse is far more cautious. My swollen ankles, thanks to the heat of the afternoon, were easily sorted out by taking a cool and then cold shower and having a well deserved 30 min snooze before tucking into one of our daughter in law’s smashing Thai feasts followed by evening entertainment supplied by the ninky nonks (7 year old identical looking twin girls) as they went laughing and giggling through family photos, testing us all in identifying each of them from birth until now. Out for mid morning breakfast today and then see what the weather entices us to do. Art bit, a couple of bare trees seen yesterday. I thought that they might look happier plonked onto a mound. Hope your day is a good one. I have now successfully circumnavigated yet another trip round the sun on this rollercoaster. Best make koffy and enjoy the next one.
