MRS B 521 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Greetings from Tenerife ! Lizzie, I’m just like you. I always have a jobs list on the go and Mr B and his curiosity always has to have a look at it. Before I know it half of them are crossed off unless he’s at work. As you say never complain if they’re not done quite to your liking otherwise they won’t be done again! You can always re arrange Lizzie or Mrs B fashion and they never know.

LizzieM 9,510 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 I’m rather envious @MRS B, I could do with a bit of warm sunshine. Enjoy your vacation! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s still a lake at the bottom end of the field. With all that standing water do you have mosquitos? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 I'll bet he'll have a few buckets of frog spawn though Oz. Wonder if it freezes, Phil will let the local peasants skate on his pond. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,140 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 The days of peasants in villages are long gone. It’s posh people who live in the countryside now. Most incomers are considerably posher than I could ever hope to be. Too posh for mosquitoes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,140 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 One of our cats has just eaten half of one of my breakfast croissants! He nicked it out of the bag on the worktop. Lidl croissants are my favourite as well. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,140 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 I managed to finish all the grass cutting today but on the last lap at the back of the orchard the lawn tractor bogged down in the mud. Rocking it back and forth only dug it in deeper. The plan for tomorrow is to lift the rear up with the farm jack, supported on a plank, and slide some large rubber pads under the wheels. It’s not the first time I had this problem but I feel a bit silly for pushing my luck near the swampy bits. Something to look forward to I suppose. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 It's yer own fault ! Wouldn't have happened if you'd used yer push mower Phil. Failing that, I'm sure Plantfit would've lent you his scythe. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,140 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 I haven't used a push mower in years Barrie but I do have an scythe and was taught how to use it properly by an old gnarled countryman. I'm not up to scything an acre and half at my advanced age though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Aww c'mon Phil, now your'e making excuses. Iv'e every confidence in you to, if you wanted you could do it with a Philishave, (no pun intended). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 What a day . Up until midday we had glorious sun shine and gradually ever so gradually it rained. We quite got used to this last week. However the rain got heavier and it stopped.Outside looking up and down the road it was like 2 different worlds. One side was black black clearly divided by the sun dazzling so bright on the other side it was weird . The combination had brought out the most beautiful rainbow which I will try to post tomorrow. Then this evening we have a violent thunder storm. I’m getting a bit concerned as we are on Orange alert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
