Oooh.. a lift to B&Q and a petrol station for 'juice' for strimmer!
Yes.. B&Q have a 10% discount on Wednesday for over 60's.. too good to miss, so bags of top soil, compost, fence wire and a packet of Broad Bean seeds were tucked away in a large trunk plus 5 litres of
fuel for Mister Strimmer, nothing worse than having lots of grass to cut and no petrol!
OK.. two small beds in front are now planted up with mixed Daffodils and Narcissi. SHE is mighty bored with feeding nasty Mister Slimy Slug with Strawberries so those are coming out and, instead, SHE will underplant espaliered Miss Pear tree with miniature mixed Narcissi.
Tulips go in next month, SHe has to get some sand or fine grit as they do not like to have water around the bulb at all and where SHE wants them is a bit 'clayie'.. did YOU know YOU should NEVER allow the leaves and stalk to rot down? When the leaves have turned yellow, YOU are supposed to cut it all off! Who knew that.. not US for sure!
On a non-gardening note..
SHE has been asked "why on earth did the housekeeper put that box of washing tablets behind the mirror?"..
If YOU have read sad Tale of 9/11/04 YOU will know that box was the cause of Dagga Parrot breaking HIS neck.
That horrid day was a Saturday and, as normal, Ivana, the housekeeper came on Monday.. SHE was angry, devastated, distraught, sad, shaken beyond belief (as YOU can well imagine) and so after Ivana had taken her jacket off, SHE asked her "Ivana, why did you put a box of washing tablets behind the mirror?".. as quick as a flash.. Ivana responded "Oh, it stopped the swing mirror moving back when I polished it, why?"..
When SHE told her what had happened and why.. she rushed to the bathroom and vomited.. Ivana adored Dagga Parrot.
SHE made her a cup of coffee and then SHE said .."I am going out, I will be back at 2.30pm to pay you before you go, there is lots of ironing to do, is there anything you need?"
As SHE left, having said "goodbye".. SHE thought about fact that HER 'BOY' was dead because Ivana had made it easier for herself to clean a mirror... oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.. 'how' would anyone be able to deal with causing such a sad thing to happen?
SHE came back with Ivana's wages to find the place immaculate with all the ironing done most beautifully but what was this? For, on the sideboard was a note and the front door keys!
The note explained that Ivana felt she could not work for HER any longer knowing that, because of her, Dagga was dead.. she was sick with the thought she had caused death loss of most beloved bird.
So that explains why wretched box was there.. But nice Ivana had gone without her wages and had left..
The mirror left too.. SHE gave it to one of HER nieces.. SHE never wants to see it again, it has been in the family for a long time, it had been HER Grandmothers, given to Constance and valuable but SHE could and would not live with it in HER home.
Sombre day yesterday.. I know that people have said "ah well, if HE had not died, YOU wouldn't have GeeGee.." and yes, that is true. But now I am jurst going to fly onto HER head and blow HER a kiss.. because YOU have to let YOUR LURVED ones know YOU LURVE them.. and I do, I LURVE HER very much..
I do hope that YOU tell YOUR lurved ones this every day.. YOU see.. things happen in a flash sometimes.
More tomorrow.. in late afternoon, SHE has a busy morning and SHE has to check sequence of flights with an old passport. Useful things passports..
GeeGee Parrot.
