WATCH OUT.... JACK'S ABOUT!

PIRATE LANGUAGE... Shivver MY timbers.. Mighty cold today..

That very norty man ole Jack Frost was out and about last night in deepest Knightsbridge, the top leaves of HER Basil plant were black and dead when SHE opened front door this morning.

SHE knew he was a'coming but thought it would be on Saturday night as yesterday afternoon was not too cold.. but he skated his sneaky way in ahead of time scattering his icy ice about and poor Basil got nipped. Poor Baby Basil.. How unkind of norty Jack.

Last Frost date at garden is June 9th.. SHE never plants out tender stuff until a couple of days after this date. After success last year of growing Tomatoes at home, SHE is going to do same this year, some on wall in half circular hanging baskets, tiny Tomatoes LURVED this as they were very snug and warm against brick wall and they got sun almost all day long.

The larger indeterminate varieties will go in very deep pots attached to railings.

Also being at home meant SHE had no worries of them being stolen - yes, sneaky thieves steal fruit and vegetables, or problem of watering, much easier to have them jurst outside front door.

So poor little nipped Basil and Tomato plants will come in at night, it would be very sad to lose those tommies, SHE will bring in little Madmoiselle Mimosa as well.

Nothing much is going on.. BiBi dearest has had one of her eyes done, all is well. which is extremely good news, she can see individual bricks in her garden wall.. how thrilling, rather like when SHE puts on HER hearing aids and hears sounds that normal folk hear all the time.. no wonder SHE leaves them off, a city IS a very noisy place!

I have jurst done very BAD thing, I gave Pegeen a munch.. on her first finger, I was full of BAD BAT Behaviour, she and Mary Lou have gone out and SHE has jurst given ME a lecture about MY singularly disgusting and very unfriendly action.. I am afraid it is because SHE and I live by ourselves and I get jealous.. poor Pegeen, I will have to apologise.

Barbara and Peg coming to stay on May 7th.. they are old friends.. will be mighty nice to see them again, to hear their news, since they were last here they have moved into a new, old house.. Barbara is a Follower of MY Blog.. and has been right from start last December.

Debbie of Ellie's Goat Dairy now has had lots and lots of baby Kiddly-Diddlies! SHE will see Debbie on Sunday to top up our Goaty Milk supply, SHE was sad to read that baby Gurl Goaty person has died. As Debbie wrote "it is always distressing when animal dies".. so very true.

Caroline in Exeter has seen The Queen, apparently Her Majesty was at Exeter University earlier this week for part of her Diamond Jubilee celebration.. WE think Queenie is amaaaazingly amazing! She is 86 years old.. yes, eighty six.. and that in itself is staggering, she is fit and has all her wits about her.

House clean and tidy so SHE has time to write MY Blog in middle of day, most unusual, normally SHE is very busy doing whatever it is that YOU humans do.

Mary Lou and Pegeen have just come back, Harrods was too full of tourists! So they brought their lunch home, SHE sent them to look at Food Halls, I hope they saw display on the wall? It is a marvellous exhibition of Sea Food packed onto ice!

I broke MY fast very late this morning, so I am quite happy dozing on GoosieHead in yumyum HQ, SHE is writing this whilst sitting on sink.. I know Dear Reader, strange place to chose to sit but HER feet are on stove and coffee machine is right next to HER together with Milk Whizzer. Fridge is beside HER, I eat MY yumyum on top of fridge, then SHE washes surface off.. very easy to keep this clean with HER beloved Sterilisation fluid..

But I am so sleepy.. also guilty about that evil munch. Must learn NOT to munch nice people.

Best wishes to YOU all whoever YOU may be.

GeeGee Parrot.
