Hi, well after some glorious weather for the past week or two, it has finally changed., this morning was quiet cloudy, and despite the weather forecast that it would be brighter with possible rain late afternoon it started at 3o.clock, OK I know it's mid afternoon, but I had spent the whole morning, after the dog walk , clearing out the garden shed which I had been putting off as it was too warm for energetic work, So I decided to-day was just right. I was getting really into the swing of discarding 'junk' when the dogs barked and there at the gate was a long lost friend. I put on a brave face and invited him in for a cuppa conscious of the fact I hadn't tidied up and I looked a mess. Not that he was bothered, as it was my retired mechanic with whom I contacted for help in finding me an honest garage for my car's service.
Anyhow he only stayed about 3/4 hour so I got stuck back in, The job was finished at 2.30 with the shed looking absolutely tickety boo. Junk was all stacked up to take to the local tip, but first I had some lunch, Then it RAINED, damn and blast, so I had to run out and cover up the stuff as there were three container buckets full plus old carpet etc, etc, If only I hadn't had a visitor I could have got shot of it all. and they give out HEAVY rain to-morrow, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. To add insult to injury I have to take the dogs out and as it's the day I have Barney, I haven't got a spare rain coat for him, so he'll get wet, oh well, ce la vie, At least I know that when I go into the shed to get the lawn mower I won't have half a shedload of junk on my head. Keep well
Thank you for visiting and please come back, Arlene, Tango and Ruby
If you come on here looking for some mind-blowing conversation or profound words of wisdom, well you've come to the wrong place and will be disappointed. I'm just an ordinary bod who likes to share my day with anyone who cares to listen. Tales of my dogs, my garden, my family and happenings in my life that I feel might just be amusing....If you're happy with that, draw up a chair, light up a ciggie if you wish or have a cup of tea and make yourself at home.

Me 'n' Ruby and of course Tango
Wouldn't you know it, just when you get in the middle of something is when the door bell or the phone rings. I am glad that you got that all done! xx
ReplyDeleteEspecially when you sometimes don't get a visitor from one day to the next. LOL, thank you and nice to see you Beth.
DeleteYes it happens to the best of us. Always when stuff has to be done. Hope you'll get it all carted away soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Horst, nice to see you on here too, as I said to Beth I often don't get visitors for days on end , so I suppose I shouldn't grumble. I had to wait till next day to get rid of it. Keep well my friend.X
DeleteIt always seems that when you really get going on something there's an interruption. Even if it is a pleasant one, it throws everything off. At least you managed to get it done. I never do.
ReplyDeleteYes Terry, I admit to feeling quite smug when it was all over, I even went back to have a look and gave myself a pat on the back LOL , I stopped around 2pm, and had lunch, then it started to rain, so I had to wait till next morning, and when I came home I mowed the lawns, another brownie point methinks, Lovely to see you here too, thank you for your interest XX
DeleteOh I think you done well Arlene, shame about the visitor though. Also the lawn you sure do have a lot of energy.
ReplyDeleteHope you get the stuff shifted soon .

Oh I use to get so upset when people would stop in during the day when we were busy working. I think hubby was even a bit rude sometimes saying always we have to get back to work. Well after a few years of that people quit coming and suddenly we found ourselves going weeks with no visitors. So I told hubby we should appreciate those who take the time to drive all the way out to see us. So now we again have many visitors and take the time to enjoy their company. Life is too short one has to take time out to enjoy friends and family.
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie [shoud you pick this up] I am sorry not to have replied, but I had three replies pending, I don't know why they didn't appear,
