Bed wet ?

Good morning all. I'm up with back ache and Jilly Beans gone back to bed. The reason for the backache? Well BUZZ yesterday I was in my 32 year old frame of mind! I cleaned through the house, I cooked the Thai green curry, I walked Jilly, I cooked Jilly's chicken and I tried out the new gardening tools and ripped up the 2ft…

JACKIE! Exciting. I've read everything you posted on adoption. Jilly cost me $600. She answers to all sorts of names, Jill, Jilly, Jilly Bean, Beannie, who's a little pest, etc, etc, so in time Violet could be easily changed to say Lettie, Vie Vie etc. Don't want you waking up sleeping spirits! Her original name was…

I think she's absolutely adorable. Even the name fits doesn't it if you were to acquire her. (Thinking of the Violet scent in your home!). At one year I think she will adapt fairly quickly to George and the kits. I keep telling Mike I'd like a companion for Jilly but he doesn't think it a good idea. I think he's thinking…

Nose shine

Oh sorry SANDY, but I guess you saw our old friend which is why I pasted it. Fake news and all that. The only things I'm scared of is certain two legged varieties of predators! Especially orange headed ones with small pursed mouths, lol. Anne.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-wales-45224687/what-s-the-truth-about-spiders-in-our-homes There's an old "friend" in the middle of this video IF you don't mind watching!

Jilly barked all the way through the video JACKIE! She'd be out with them all in the river if she could. Cooking green Thai curry with beans, chick peas, coconut milk, potatoes, cauliflower, onion, etc etc. Smells good! Enough for 8 servings! Guess who will be going home with some tomorrow! Anne.

LIN you are quite right about strength in non meat eaters. The image of a gorilla leaning nonchalantly against a tree whilst snacking on a banana sprang to mind, not to mention a huge bull pawing the ground then chasing someone across a field. If a banana and a mouthful of hay can do that we are your gals! To each her own…

Mikes gone home now and I did type it all wrong. So sorry SANDY. What with Jill bouncing about and his arrival my concentration got shot. At least he posted the link for me and showed me how to do it....IF I remember next time! The heat isn't helping. It's stifling, almost difficult to breathe the air is so still. Annie.

Yes I did. Not very well put. Anyway the link explains it all. Like your dress by the way. Annie

What it said SANDY, if you eat a low carb diet it can shorten your life. That means if you don't eat hardly any carbs, but lots of meat. They suggest you switch meat for protein in plants and fats. Moderate carb consumption is recommended. This is apparently a 25 year American study. I'll try and post it but I aren't very…

Morning all. Must tell you what Mark and Mary Jo did last evening. They showed up to empty the garage a little more. Whilst Mark cut up gypsum into reasonable garbage men friendly sizes, Mary Jo wandered around the garden showing me two gardening tools she'd bought. These were a long handled trowel and a long handled fork.…

Thank you so much JACKIE. Grandpa Mason looks so like my Tabitha but not like my all over black Miss Becky. Miss Becky was pulled out of the river in a sack on top of other dead little kittens on a freezing icy day in late November. The only survivor. I'd just lost my lovely dog Jenny and Thelly my English once feral Rolls…

Just add my pennyworth. If you can find a tiny dog of Pomeranian/shiatsu/ and a touch of chihuahua exactly like our Jilly Bean you couldn't ask for a more loving, friendly, sweet natured, intelligent, fun loving dog. She has brightened my life more than I could ever have imagined. She doesn't need a groomer, just a nail…

Just got in from our morning walk, watering dried out plants and feeding the birds. Covered in perspiration and moskie bites. At this rate Jill and I will be moving to the arctic! Anne.

PATSY, a big, big thank you for your inspiring words intended for BUZZ and her daughter but inspiring for us all. It will bring them hope in a truly difficult situation. Remarkable courage on your part in your own battle. Another sizzler of a day here and then I hope things will finally cool down. One can smell a hint of…

Yes I do JACKIE. I just wrote a long piece on it and also on today's news which is just awful and then I saw the latest bullying tactics by the old age pensioner south of us. I give up, deleted my thoughts. So what with arson in Sweden, tumbling Italian bridges, car crashing nuts in the UK, one of our Quebec MPs in trouble…

Complaint beef (I'm not sure if we have a beef about something over here?)

Good morning, I would have loved to have joined the protesting "Grannies on a mission to the USA Mexican border," BBC news. The bus started in New York collecting grannies as it rolled down to the border. Well done ladies. Anne.

Happy very early morning. Watched Sherlock last evening. Weird, but good once one made it to the end. All about "cereal" killers. Glad you watched the video JACKIE, there's always tomorrow to wash the kitchen floor and the good news is, it's one less day to the next wash! I echo Jackie BUZZ and PATSY in her thoughts for…

Michael has just left. We spent a happy couple of hours sitting under the apple tree watching a large variety of birds at the bird feeder and two little chipmunks picking up the droppings. Jilly was fascinated, eyes like saucers watching the chips. I could sit all day watching the wild life! Anybody else watching "Happy…

Hello everyone, I've thought long and hard about the following because I am so fond of you all and I don't want to step on any toes, but I've decided to tell you why I've never eaten lobster, and crab I think only once. It's a personal thing. Some of my family lived in two east coast towns and not so far from my family…

We posted at the same time again JACKIE. Great minds think alike. How long are you looking after the little pest, ahem, pet? That was the spell check, of course if you believe that! I guess you will all give a sigh of relief as Scruff trots off into the sunset with her owner. Yes LIN, keep away from unfriendly cliques who…

Well Marks convinced me I don't need a wall mounted electric fire, and maybe I don't, not really. I think I still yearn for the fireplaces we had in England, forgetting of course the cleaning up. Nostalgia! Mind you the last log burning stone fireplace I had was in Quebec. It was great, in the morning you just removed a…

Oh yes, I remember pink campions. We called them "soldiers buttons" a throwback to Victorian soldiers uniforms I suppose. That was the wild red ones anyway. Thanks for the electric fire brand tips JACKIE. Duly noted for checking on the internet later. Michael is debating taking in two tiny love birds. Parakeets. The owner…

PATSY. My machine is forever changing your name! I've caught it so far! Patience is such a pretty name. Naughty grandma for changing it. Did you try HER patience by any chance? lol. We have had downpours so far. Flooding, but a good thing for cooling the forests down. Not so good for taking little dogs out. I've been…

I'm game, Jilly Bean.

PATSY: I've hardly ever used those ziplock bags favouring good sealed containers instead for the freezer. Plastic yes, but they've been in use for years and years. I love screw lid glass mason jars. I keep all my pasta, rice, dried beans, raisins, yeast, walnuts, oatmeal etc etc in those. They not only keep the creepy…

LIN, your sore foot could have been caused by a very active dream causing movement in your sleep and a twisted foot. I think that's what happens to yours truly. I usually remember what I've dreamt and most dreams I have involve an awful lot of walking. Anne.
