Good write-up, eh? Junior and Rosie are physically alike. Peas in a pod, type of thing. They even have the maths thing in common.
Maybe my little madam is a future champion of sorts?
On the 'not so glamorous front'...
Had a nice birthday weekend here. The boys came up and helped sort out the allotment for 'me birfday'!! And...they brought along extra muscle, in the name of Aaron, Neil and Peter...plus some other halves:o))
Son no 2 hired a strimmer and worked away for hours to get the grass down from waist height to something more like a lawn!! Son no 2 went out and got a grass rake and a mallet for the fencing posts. What more could a girl wish for as a pressie in these circumstances, seeing as my gardening tools have been nicked from the plot.
The lads were toiling away on the allotment...under the spyful eye of the miserable old so and so's who are trying to boot me off and turn my plot into a ploughed field. Turns out that the boys are so irate about the allotment politics that they are coming up again to lend a hand and stick up for their mate's mum. Yay!!!!! This old bird has still got it....although I suspect it's more to do with culinary skills than svelte figure and Facebook wit :o))) Got treated to pizza takeaway and wine on birthday evening. They had vego chilli wraps, etc this dinner time and never noticed that it was meat free! Lol
I will try and get some allotment piccies up soon. I'm in the process of summoning up courage to ask my allotment mate if she will let me house a couple of rescue hens on her plot. I can't on mine....."depends on who you are and who you know" politics...and they're saying NO at the mo, but I'll nag away!! grrrr! I'll get me own way, by hook or by crook. Any suggestions for names?
On the puppy rehoming front.....4 down..3 to go.
I have to say that they are REALLY pretty pups...and the last three are so LITTLE:o)
No..No...don't let me keep one!!!! Tiniest one is the size of a small cat. She's nick-named Tripper...as she tends to get under the feet.
Mother is coming up tommorow. Planting up my flower pots as part of birthday pressie. I'm not trying it on with the "elderly slave labour" thing...it's just Mother. She misses pottering about in a garden, so she's taken it upon herself to "sort this one out". Bless her:o) Beats sitting in a flat all day, alone.
