Good Morning ABers & Refreshers

[moonraker558]

First on parade this morning, Welshy must be having a lay in. It's the start of a five shifter for me today so up and raring to go. To all you women intending to sit in front of your tv's watching some wedding or another get on and do some housework. And with that note I think I will disappear before I get lynched. Happy Days one and all.

Good morning, moony. I have no intention whatsoever to turn the television on today. btw - lady janine has posted recently and anne is thinking about buying a new hat. Any comment from you?

[moonraker558]

Morning ttfn., how the devil are you? Me comment? never.

[ttfn]

Might this help? http://www.theanswerb.../Question1012813.html

I am a liitle worse for wear after an extremely busy Easter decorating. Ceilings are a particular joy, I find. An 8hr day up a ladder finds muscles not used since I completed the Sistine Chapel. How are you?

[moonraker558]

Ah! I didn't know things were being planned behind my back, Mamy can forget an invite, I suppose we better draw up a prezzie list then, and the free use of someone's villa wouldn't go amiss either.

[moonraker558]

Re your decorating TT, if you had said I would have stood on the bottom of your ladder to steady it for you.

Good idea
Ladies first then:-
1) Paint Pad Pro

[moonraker558]

I hope you havn't painted anything pink because I hate pink.

[moonraker558]

I suppose I had better get on and polish my boots, Crack on with the wedding list and I will cast on eye on it when I get a chance. Could be fun. ♥

Do I look as though I would have pink ceilings (or anything else for that matter)? tut tut. No - brilliant white - just like my mind. I wear trousers to decorate, so standing on the bottom step will get you an eyeful of paint splashes only.
I do like clean boots and shoes - though I think I must be the only one I know who has the nightly cleaning ritual! Mind you don't overdo it at work, dear - as if. ♥

morning ttfn and morning moonie.
hope you are both well enjoying the early dawn.

Janine, it is lovely in Bournemouth (mainly because moony is in another county). The dawn chorus is due in about 10 minutes ☺

it's okay here in cornwall. wonderful for visitors but i found it too hot to work in the garden latter part of the morning and earlier part of the afternoon. trying to dig holes for trees in stony ground just got too much so sat under the umbrella on the patio for a couple of hours. bliss.

[ttfn]

I had that problem digging holes for 4x4 fencing posts 2 years ago. Heavy clay soil + stones. In the end I dug a few inches and filled with water. Went back a few hours later and deepened the holes for the next watering. Eventually got the 2 foot depths required but it was hard work. Have you thought of hiring a Kango drill?

[lady-janine]

don't think that would be the answer. part of our garden still has the remains of an old granite quarry in it and so there is not very much top soil. sometimes have had to move the position of the tree as the rock below top six inches of soil was just tooo big to move. getting there but stakes for the fruit cage were really difficult. we have also put up a very small (much smaller than we wanted) polytunnel. just could not face digging out holes for uprights.
sounds as if you had a job with the fence poles - could you have tried to get someone to do it for you? fortunately we have cornish edges round most of the garden and our neighbour has to see to the rest as he has to keep his cattle from wandering over our garden. not that he is always successful. we have been visited by both cattle and sheep but it's not a problem just one of those things. hasn't happened that often.

Crikey, Janine - a quarry?! I shall never moan about stony ground again. I did that fencing for my Big Sis - made a good job of it too. The area to be fenced was situated in a wind tunnel area of her garden where previous larch lap panels failed to stay upright for more than 2 years at a time. I decided to use double 6 foot trellis panels of high quality, locally made, so they would provide stable security but no wind resistance. I also had a gate made to order and all was assembled with care and a spirit level. The neighbours were impressed and asked BS which firm had done the work for her, lol. I do like a challenge.

[lady-janine]

i'm very impressed with your skills. garden/field is not level and goes up and down like and donkeys.
will see if i can import some piccies for you. ahh not sure how to do that.

[lady-janine]

back off to bed now to see if i can get some sleep.
i only got up to get a glass of water. see you all later.

[ttfn]

lol - sweet dreams, Janine and ttfn x
