1. My garden looks stunning.
2. Baby squirrels are amusing me with their antics.....after a few more litters I will, once again, consider culling them :-(
3. My veg box is due.
4. A blackbird is giving me the eye from her nest.
5. There's a rather nice bottle of wine in the fridge that was opened by mistake last night.....I'll just have to drink it tonight!

I really want to be cheerful but I've got 3 load of washing on the line and it looks like it might piss ;(

[grasscarp]

Eccles - how does one open a bottle of wine by mistake? Not a concept I understand. Were you in a trance, and then suddenly came to and thought "Oh no - I have just opened a bottle of wine......."

[EcclesCake]

grasscarp, it's what happens when there is more than one bottle chilling and stupid Husband is sent to fetch more wine.

On the plus side I get wine on a school night ...yay!

[friedgreentomato]

Eccles which company do you use for your veggie box? I always used to be disapointed in the box i got delivered in London

[grasscarp]

Thanks Eccles. What was he thinking of being sent for one bottle of wine and opening another! On Saturday I was at a "carnival" and I knew the people running a bottle stall. First lot of tickets got shampoo. Second lot of tickets got deodorant. Third lot of tickets I saw them pick up something that looked like shower gel. Then there was a lot going on for a couple of minutes with their backs turned on me and then they presented me with a very nice bottle of wine with gold wire net etc!!!!

the weather was nice for once. sat out in my sisters garden till nearly 9 last night. Had a lovely time celebrating her birthday and celebrating fathers day too.

FGT, I use Riverford, very rarely have I had issue with the produce.

Grasscarp, they must have realised that after two bottle of smellies there was only one kind of bubbles you'd accept!

[grasscarp]

Ha ha Eccles. I heard them say to my daughter what does she like - and she said wine!!!!

[friedgreentomato]

ahhh I used to use a double barrel name and the food was not that good - but i found myself buying every friday so as not to cause insult!!! lol

[Barmaid]

1 It is only raining a bit.
2 errrrrr, I'll get back to you on the rest.

[EcclesCake]

FGT, I wonder if that might have been Able & Cole, they are the other big veg box company.

[friedgreentomato]

Thats it Eccles - over priced meat too!!

But everytime I thought about cancelling it, I was walking into the porch finding another box!!!

1) Finally getting completion on a land sale after months of solicitors' time wasting.

2)A, then empty, pot of rat bait which the wolfhound puppy found would not be toxic if he had eaten all 500gms, I discover after a panic. Don't ask; this place is checked for all toxic substances. It may be he found it empty in a hedge or waste tip somewhere.

3) The wolfhounds haven't killed anything this morning; couple of days ago they'd killed a fawn in the garden, and their killing things is quite common at this time of year. It's a nuisance because I have to dispose of what's left of the carcass after they have had their 6 am breakfast off it (they kill at dawn, when deer etc are out )

4) Ascot starts tomorrow !
