Re: Lucas

Take a tip from me, LL never, ever leave a dead mouse in the house it absolutely stinks the place out, no smell like it.
How is Lucas getting on, have you received anymore presents from him?

Re: How does your garden grow?

We get lots of those little blue butterflies, Mo, have done for some years now. Not sure why here as the last house we were in, never saw any. We have also seen lots and lots of huge bees, Terry seems to think they are looking to make a home somewhere. I was in the greenhouse yesterday for a few hou...

Re: Where's Tabatha?

I have never used a cat flap, but I am sure it would be worth a try with the food the other side. Good idea FR. )like(
If you try it, Mo let us know if it works, please.

Re: Where's Tabatha?

Nothing ever goes totally to plan, Mo you should know that. LOL Glad to hear she finally came in and good luck for today, although very windy and cold here. I always used to feed my cats last thing at night the only reason for that was I wanted them hungry and in at night. It worked on all the cats ...

Re: Louise's Chicken Diary

Hi, CC.
Sorry to hear about your lady and got to admit my first thought was 'broody'. I hope you get to the bottom of it soon, but good news she is drinking for herself.

Re: How does your garden grow?

I used to put very small holed wire over the strawberries and that worked. The blackbirds used to sit on top of it and do a little dance, I think possibly they thought it would bend like netting does when any weight is on it,

Re: How does your garden grow?

I think part of my mood lift was because I managed to do lots of things that I have not done for ages with my knee playing me up so much, so win, win. Today I dropped something and usually I would have asked someone to pick it up for me, but I pick things up myself now, so another good reason for be...

Re: How does your garden grow?

You ladies have made me feel very lazy, so yesterday I went out and cleaned the chickens out and did lots of pruning of blackberries etc. Terry emptied the compost bin onto the raised beds and round the front hedge line. Came in absolutely shattered, but felt very happy too as it was such a lovey wa...

I am afraid it is a non starter for me, Mo. I do not have a FB account and will not create one. Sorry.

Re: How many of you have had your Covid jab?

I finally had my first vaccination on Mond, but Tues morning I felt very rough, cold, shivery and the mother of all headaches. I slept on and off all day and was in bed by 9a.m. Have still felt pretty rough the remainder of the week, but at least the headache has gone. Got to admit I am not looking ...

Re: Lucas

Sorry LL but I had to laugh as your written words made me remember one cat we had. My daughter was woken up about 6a.m. to a shrill scream which when she looked out the window was Harry her cat who had got hold of a Hare and another time when he had hold of a Weasel! In both cases by the time she go...

Re: Where's Tabatha?

Sounds like she is totally making herself at home, Mo. Has she wanted to go out yet? It is amazing how we compare our animals, but never really notice things if you get my jist, i.e. the scrabbling noises in the night you hear. I remember when we got Bella our last Staffie and I took her out into th...

Re: Air Fryers - anyone use one?

I have seen them advertised, but never used one, is there any info on google?
Are they supposed to be a way of cooking healthier?
