Had the whole Mottie tribe round today. I did a cracking roast dinner - 6 empty plates and everyone had seconds. Even the youngest member loved the yorkies!
She loved the dinner so much she washed it down with a drop of vino. Start 'em young, I say.

A couple of weeks ago, I fitted tubes, to the tubless and leaky, knackered tyres of the little tractor. Sunday, I decided the grass was worth trying to cut, then found one of the two tyres flat, yet again. I got the tyre off, and found a tiny hole in the tube, caused by a tiny splinter of steel. I dashed round all the shops that were still open at 3.15pm, to see if I could buy a puncture outfit, and none to be had, so tractor had to be abandoned, until today. Finally found a shop which stocked them, a choice of three outfits, and repaired the pin hole. Tyre back on, wheel back on, and grass cut.

Been off 5 days now since Thursday. Built a Pergola in the garden and just finished off with new garden furniture. Cost me a fortune to have time off work. Sat in it now with a bottle of bud looking at it and feeling proud of my labour. Not a joiner but it looks great if I say so myself.
The bastards have done me again! I’ve been attacked by at least two of them for just minding my own business. I have a small pond on my plot and my neighbour has one too. The bees go there for a drink. Several of them came at me and were buzzing around my head. I tried swatting them and running across the allotment but the fùckers wouldn’t leave me alone. It felt like someone had punched me in the eye….and then they were gone. This is what I was left with:
When I got home, I used a pair of tweezers and pulled the tips of two stingers out of me (those two black dots). Can’t see or feel anything in my eye though that’s caused that bleed. I may have just punched myself in the eye!
I tried to carry on working over there by chucking an old net over the ponds but to be honest, the noise of bees frightened me. I gave up and came home but not before I made a quick video of the bastards.

For a few days, a bit at a time - we've been gradually trimming the dogs fur, ready for the warmer weather. Adding to the problems, she had a terrible wheezing cough. Last night we decided, to give her a bath, in the midst of which her wheezing became much worse, thought we might have killed her. We had to fight her, to get her on the stair lift, rather than let her risk making her own way back down the stairs, how she seemed. With several sessions, we managed to blow dry her, with the hair drier, more or less.
Come bed time, she usually jumps straight on the lift, to ride up, but instead refused to even be tempted out from her bed in the corner. Up we went, leaving her there, next thing, she's on the lift, bouncing on it, to make it go.
As of this morning, the wheezing is gone, as of this evening, she is playing as normal, plus several waste bins of fur lighter.
