He made breakfast for me!
Well, this hasn’t happened in a looooong time. Dearest Son and I were talking the other day and agreed he should learn how to do more in the kitchen. He has done some basic cooking and baking but we want to increase his skills. More importantly HE wants to increase his skills. I gave him…

Not the weather for Gardening
I’m worried about wind – and no, not my own! I’ve been worried about the strong winds we’ve been getting recently, since a fence panel came down few weeks ago (should be fixed this week 😊) and the other day I got to watch my little mini-greenhouse explore areas of the garden he doesn’t usually…

Wing!
This is something totally new for me…. I was flicking around YouTube as you do and of course, I ended up on the shorts. I found this guy called Wing – he is from South Korea and is a champion beatboxer – stay with me here! Even if this isn’t your normal sort of thing,…

S8 Ep 9 Do Supermarkets Actually HATE Us?!
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ztprf-180267a I am in full-on rant mode this week as I have a lot to get off my chest. I’ve become convinced supermarkets hate us and I’m pretty sure I can prove it with this episode. If you aren’t used to a Scottish accent, I hope you can cope with this one! Let me know…

Showing the front garden some LOVE!
I’ve been waiting all week to get to work on the garden at home and today was the day! Most of this will be pictures to show you the before and after. I’m not finished yet as I have to get some more woodchip but you’ll certainly get the idea of what I’m trying to…

Busy doing…stuff
You know the type of day when you’ve been really busy, just doing stuff? Well, that’s been my day today. I won’t go into detail about the usual stuff I do like cleaning etc, I’ll just tell you about the couple of other things I did. First of all, I made some more honey chai…

Being busy and making plans
We managed another quick trip to the allotment today – but I didn’t take any photos or videos! No, I’m saving it until the job I’m working on has progressed a little more. Dearest Son was working on the pond area as it was overgrown and we couldn’t even see the little tyre pond! There…
